Early Modern Notes

Some good things around the early modern (and other) blogs lately…

Renaissance Weblog, as ever, is full of wonderful things:

The British Library’s Early Shakespeare Quartos (also noted by scribblingwoman and language hat).
I suspect that I’ve already linked to the Glasgow Emblem Books Website somewhere, but what the hell.
Greenblatt on Shakespeare (see also this review of Greenblatt’s book, via Arts and Letters Daily)

From scribblingwoman:

The Body Revealed: Renaissance and Baroque Anatomical Illustration
A Seventeenth-century Ghost Story (originally via Fenland)
Museum Plantin-Moretus Print Workshop

From Siris (and don’t forget to check out Brandon’s Houyhnhnm Land, as new posts and resources are going up regularly)

Newton’s Alchemy, Recreated (you have to go and see this; plus an interesting post by Ralph Luker at Cliopatria)

From language hat:

Greg Lindahl’s Home Page (scroll down to ‘Publishing’ for lots of lovely texts and images…)
Hold on to your Hats! (not really early modern, but who cares?)

Source mislaid, with apologies (some may have come from C18-L or other mailing lists):

Digital Quaker Collection
Early Modern Philosophy Texts
Witchcraft in Bermuda
17th Century Net (competition!?), which may have come from Fenland originally…

I’ll probably add some more over the next day or few.

Updates:

A book review in the Telegraph (registration required): The genius of Stradivarius

From Philobiblon: Letters from Dorothy Osborne to Sir William Temple

From a fun new language blog from Aussie-land, wordful, Elizabethan insults. Thou art a ruttish sheep-biting foot-licker! (Thanks to language hat, who is I’m sure not a ruttish sheep-biting foot-licker, for the blog tip.)
