Vandaag is mijn nieuwe boek ‘Karel V’ officieel verschenen. Uiteraard zeer trots dat het resultaat van het harde, maar dankbare, werk eindelijk te zien is. Hopelijk valt de biografie van de keizer in de smaak 🙂
VERY sad I can't make this! I'll look up Sam's work..
Ah! Kind of wish I was going to Antwerp again this spring to check out this Plants of Plantin exhibition.
But I'm not - I'm going to Leiden to fangirl over Clusius where he worked.
If anyone's got any tips for celebrating his 500th birthday, let me know! 🍄
