Some lucky students got to see some actual rare books @theULSpecColl today, including the first edition of #Milton’s Lycidas (1638) with his own corrections (Adv.d.38.5)! #marginaliamonday

Sometimes an image is worth a thousand words, but who knows what these doodles are trying to say? #SilkRoadWeek continues with these wonderful notes and sketches from the #SteinCollection (Or.8210/S.387) #MarginaliaMonday

Our first Librarian Élie Bouhéreau wrote notes in the margins of this catalogue for a book sale, providing lots of info we wouldn't know otherwise, like when it took place, & where the rest of the books went. Trust a Librarian not to do things by half! #marginaliamonday

What do you do when someone's written their name in your second hand book? The owner of this 16th century herbal amended it to 'Peter Archer DOES NOT own this book, Philip Regan (?) does.' #MarginaliaMonday

BEES! An emphatic note in the margins of a copy of Gerard's Herbal (1597) in our rare books library. The plant in question is lavender: a big favourite with pollinating insects. #WorldBeeDay2019 #MarginaliaMonday

Making a big point. A mighty #manicule has been used to highlight an entry in William Turner's New herball [1568, 615.3 Tur] discussing the "vertues of wall pennye grasse" aka Umbilicus rupestris. #ManiculeMonday #MarginaliaMonday #herbal #herbals #rarebooks #marginalia
