I hope Thomas Haynes' executors fulfilled his wish. What a lovely gesture in 1645, to give his books to a 'publique library' and to pay for them to be taken there.
What became of them? Do any sit today on a modern library shelf? What a legacy that would be! 📚❤️

So, if opinions were mixed on pineapple’s taste (and on whether it was a healthy thing to eat) how do we explain the pineapple mania of the period? I have a theory…..but you’ll have to wait for my book! #FoodHistory #EarlyModern #AcademicSky #MaterialCulture

And in #earlymodern Europe, there were fewer books in a book shop as you would expect from a modern perspective:

Were book shops of Europe's past really full of books? Well, here is an #earlymodern bookseller from Dresden, Germany, in front of his boxes. Yes, boxes, not books. Want to know the rest of the story, #skystorians? 1/2

This otherwise excellent book seems not to mention ecclesiastical lawyers. Can anyone point to a similarly themed work that considers access civil lawyers in England had to printed legal material for their specialism pre- and post-Reformation (both for church courts and chancery work)? #Skystorians

16 July 1583: We've seen something of a crackdown on puritan dissent in East Anglia, with the hanging of Brownists at Bury St Edmunds, burning books and suspending ministers. It seems to be generating a backlash as today in Stebbing (near Braintree) one John Hull, a tailor, is ... 1/

#earlymodern folks: beyond the standard ones (e.g. Vives, La perfecta casada), what are some 16th or 17th century Spanish treatises/manuals that address women's household management?
I've got a lot on women's education, but I'm thinking specifically here about wives and their responsibilities.

I can't decide whether I'm impressed at #Ancestry's handwriting deductions on this one, or concluding they're just making these things up.
