The manuscript departement of the Uni Library has some. <br />If I ever will have the chance to work in my own field again I will have to deal mostly with literature of the 16th and very early 17th century, most Henricpetri-volumes and what the humanists produced. <br />It's astounding: When something new comes into the world or is invented, it most often comes in its best form first - best on arrival. The sheer quality of the print and the beauty of the page later only was reached by small free presses - Liebhaberdrucken.<br />These books own themselves, we only take care of them for a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-25044914423111575012010-06-30T21:54:31.143+01:002010-06-30T21:54:31.143+01:00I did start them off in the greenhouse, Rog, but D...I did start them off in the greenhouse, Rog, but Dave had nothing to do with them.<br /><br />Three of the pictures are different varieties of courgettes, but you can only really tell by the colour of the fruit. I'm afraid I can tell different woods too, although not as well as the Sage.<br /><br />I envy your expertise in incunabula. I once held a printed book dating from 1485 and was deeply impressed. I wish I owned one - or at least was the custodian for a generation.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-3586691682795419662010-06-30T21:45:13.088+01:002010-06-30T21:45:13.088+01:00These pictures are so - green.
