Finally finished this @ShabbosReads (hey, things have been busy, & some chapters were. rough). Shoutout to @YakovZMayer's EXCELLENT chapter on orality v. materiality of the Talmud re the 13th and the 16th century burnings. @perurealfonso's piece Alfonso de Z was great as well!.
Read the articles in the first part of this book @ShabbosReads. The chapters by Debra Marques de Matos, Avri bar Levav, and Pavel Sladek were particularly excellent for history of the Jewish book re: Iberian printing, paratexts, and print/manuscripts overlap, respectively!

Carried home a large picture frame today (on the subway to the bus, etc.) and realized it blocked most of my body. This must be what carrying a shield felt like. But heavier.
