Question for book people: does anyone know of any examples of #earlymodern booksellers (c.1710) who offered books not only for sale but also on loan or to read in the shop (like a library)? Asking for my PhD student #BookHistory

Bibliomania, or Book-Madness was a satirical book by Thomas Frognall Dibdin published in 1809 which popularised the term โbibliomaniaโ and described the craze for book collecting, detailing serious โsymptomsโ like obsession with first editions, and prescribing โcuresโ such as human contact.

Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding
With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.
This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained." www.nature.com/articles/d41... ๐งช

Wij denken misschien dat we uniek zijn. Maar dat is niet zo hoor. Al in de Middeleeuwen dachten mensen na over de problemen waar wij nu - vandaag de dag - mee te maken hebben. Zoals hoe we ons wapenen...
โVerrassend bruikbaar!โ Dat vond @roosabelman.bsky.social van de middeleeuwse adviezen uit ons boek โHet Ministerie van Middeleeuwse Zakenโ. Met Justyna Mrozewicz was ik bij @nporadio1.bsky.social om te bespreken wat een kabinet kan leren van de geschiedenis. www.nporadio1.nl/fragmenten/s...

Wonderful! Itโs not just a box, though, itโs a โstoveโ (a heated stool to warm your feet), so itโs more of the oldschool equivalent of a cat resting on a heater. Thanks for sharing!
