Delight to announce that my article on Frances Wolfreston's annotated almanacs has been published in The Seventeenth Century. The almanacs were acquired by @bodleianlibs in 2010 and are the only known life-writing by Wolfreston.

brill.com/display/title/7013… My book has its own page on the Brill website, so it'll actually exist! 'Involving Readers: Practices of Reading, Use, and Interaction in Early Modern Dutch Bibles (1522-1546)' will be published coming November, in open access! #firstbook #inreadershands
A true Renaissance woman in her tastes, the incomparable Katherine Blount! #HerBook

This book of Common Prayer was owned by an early 18th-century woman Lucy Burman, who may have been of a Stratford-upon-Avon family. #HerBook

This is brilliant. What started with @wolfrestonward discussing 2 books owned by Katherine Blount, 4 years & 7 scholars later Joe Black’s latest post notes there are now 42 books attributed to Blount #HerBook

Two new Katherine Blount finds by Joe Black, one a copy of her father-in-law's essays given to her by the man himself, the other a copy of Bacon's Sylva Sylvarum, apparently acquired new. We are still looking for information on when and how her library was dispersed. #HerBook

Joseph Black analyzes a book of algebra owned by Elizabeth Gould in this post. An exciting rarity! #HerBook
