The beginning of autumn has called students back to their books. The owner of this 1568 edition of Virgil’s Georgics & Aeneid definitely took his studies seriously with notes in the margins & on extra blank leaves. But sometimes you need to let your artistic talent take the lead!

Have you ever brought your own subtitles to the theatre? With this playbook for Li tre cicisbei ridicoli the audience in Brussels could read the Italian & a French translation side by side. The introduction warns not to expect an elegant translation, as it is done word by word,/1

The Antwerp printer Jan van Keerberghen might have needed to buy some extra 0’s when he published the mathematician Adriaan van Roomen's 'Ideæ mathematicæ pars prima' (1593). It proposed calculations to determine the sides of regular polygons. That’s a lot of numbers to print! /1

The placement of this supralibros feels off. Its owner Jacobus Pamelius, a 16th-century theologian, collected a large library but did not commission a new binding for each book. Instead, he had his coat of arms & motto ‘Davltrvi te pasmesle’ added to the existing binding.
