STCV cataloguers often find themselves in fascinating places such as the Church-of-Our-Lady in Aarschot, where we work under the watchful eye of this friendly guard. At the moment, we are cataloguing a set of 18th-c ordinances about topcis such as natural disasters & deserters.

Notice in Latin at the beginning of the book which alerts the reader to the use of square brackets 'to help avoid mistakes'

Title page of the book 'Probatio corporalis praesentiae corporis' with printer's device
When you want to cite someone but also make clear that they are absolutely wrong. This book by Jean Hessels (1522-1566), professor of theology at the university of Leuven, puts the words of heretics between [brackets] to avoid confusion. Or, how typography helps save your soul!
