A loud shout out to the finger image removal technologies. You all contribute to making #bookhistory with access to the originals worth while.

And this happens when fingers that were used to hold down a book's page to be scanned were captured, and a software "repairs" this space automatically afterwards. In short: the scanned image is corrected by filling the problematic space with new content. In this case, this filling didn't fit too well: you see a "en=" text part from a different print, and some very bad pixel space. Welcome to the complex digital narrative of old printed books.

Is it a ghost? Is it a cloud? No, it is just a weird space created by a finger image removal technology trying to autocorrect the finger of the scanning person.

Welcome to another striking example of how automatic repair systems do crush our digital heritage. #bookhistory

And another weird space created by a finger image removal technology trying to autocorrect the finger of the scanning person. The inserted sample clearly does not fit in here (or anywhere else in this print, to be honest).

That's a kind of data corruption, if you ask me. Automatic repair systems do corrupt our digital heritage.

And here the ghost aka cloud is slowly taking over the page.

Welcome to yet another example of how automatic repair systems - to be precise: finger image removal technology trying to autocorrect the finger of the scanning person - do crush our digital heritage.

Again: the inserted sample clearly does not fit in here.

"Man hat allhier Zeitungen auß Spannien / daß zu Lisabona ein Rennschiff ... angelangt / das bringt Zeitung / daß ..."

Historische Zeitungsmeldungen wie diese vom Juli 1624 nutzten in der Frühen Neuzeit gerne un doft den Begriff der #Zeitung, was Neuigkeit oder 'Nachricht von etwas' bedeutete.

Mehr Zeitungen in meinem neuen Buch (2025).

Learning #Hebrew with wild hats. These images of how to pronounce and use your tongue when learning Hebrew were published in 1667 Germany.

Hard to imagine the mental strength and stern discipline of the librarian not to attempt to put the library stamp where most other librarians would - evidentially - have put the stamp to.

This is the title page of a hymn book (VD16 E 1150), by the way.

Of course, you see another contribution to the #LibraryStampMadness series. #BookHistory #histodons #history #library #bookstodon

Recalling the #PresidentialDebate between #Trump and #Biden and this gem with a toy trumpet from 1832 comes to my mind:

"Entertaining Knowledge here Trump Trump Trumpery Trump... All works not issued by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge are Illegal ..."
