In dem Flugdruck geht es, Frühneuzeithistoriker:innen werden es längst ahnen, natürlich um Pietisten und deren irrigem "Plauderwerck", das nur Lügen enthalte. Listen wie diese sind vor allem intrakonfessionell relevant: Protestanten untereinander sind oft eifrige Faktchecker und Flugdruck-Schreiber.

#Flugpublizistik #histodons

Der #Faktencheck in besagtem Flugdruck geht weiter. Um es kurz zu machen, es werden 20 Lügen in der Flugschrift dokumentiert, kommentiert und als solche bezeichnet.

En passant: In Sachen Einseitigkeit und Wortgewalt macht keine Epoche den schnellschiessenden Schimpfspatzen des 17. Jahrhunderts den Spitzenplatz streitig.

Ein sogenannter Powermove der frühneuzeitlichen Druckpublizistik: Lügenvorwürfe als Marginalie.

Ich würde sagen, das Thema #KI läuft.

Why is a carp always looking like it discovered a deep hidden secret or solved a big fundamental problem?

Honestly, that's me discovering a detail that I might need for a future text...

A printed ❤️ symbol from a 1702 text about the Holy Trinity. That's an #earlymodern #emoticon <3

Meet an absolute unit of an #earlymodern bible. On this painting from Wybrand Hendriks, the thick volume of the bible is the main message. The woman may be sewing, and there is a dog present about to play with a ball, but the big book being bigger than the entire dog signals: well-doing deep faith.

Say hi. This is an example of how human labor will be remembered when all books are digitized and we all work with digital copies only. And maybe, hand on heart, this hand was intentionally raised to greet us from the past. #histodons #bookhistory #digitalhumanities #digitalhistory #digitization

As a historian watching the news, I am waiting for the part where they start exiling him twice to Elba. #histodons

I present a thread of screaming and horrified city gates on the occasion of the events taking place today:

Make future book historians happy: annotate your books, write into books, use them, scribble, draw, make witty or unreadable comments. #bookhistory #bookstodon #books

When everyone else was gone, the very last user of #Twitter (see image below) protocolled carefully his last words into the platform's logbook: Debate me, you losers!

This might have been the moment when the recent TikTok trend "crying while reading" started, around 1800 in Germany, when this young man started crying reading a letter and a befriended copperplate engraver was nearby and took advantage of the moment ... #histodons #bookstodon

When you are a famous author, but your last name sounds like “pig”, well, see for yourself.

The drawn pig on the binding was made by the book owner, Konrad Peutinger, as a reminder that this book is from the author whose last name - Porchus - sounds like pig (“porcus”). #histodons #bookhistory

There is a paper story in this painting from 1672: welcome to the shortest thread for #paperhistory in one post only (plus much more details in the alt-text)

1 - a paper letter (being moved)
2 - used paper sheets (messy)
3 - a document bag! (fun)
4 - stored paper sheets (waiting)
5 - waste paper (lying around)

Were book shops of Europe's past really full of books? Well, here is an #earlymodern bookseller from #Dresden, Germany, in front of his boxes. Yes, boxes, not books.

In these boxes unfolded printed sheets (of a certain publication) were stored. This is what you would have seen, next to small amounts of bound books and small publications, in a typical early modern book shop. So #bookhistory is sometimes a history of boxes too.

I am celebrating #ReformationDay with this sticker I spotted recently in the lovely city of Heidelberg. #histodons

This is a dance of the dead movie created out of the dozens of woodcuts from the 1520 Munich print "Der todten dantz mit figuren vnd schrifften" ( https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/details/bsb10180634 ).
