Sure. First up, the #earlymodern book world was a paper recycling economy. So the re-usages of today have a long history: brill.com/display/book...

I'm just back from an awesome Burgundian Valois-themed party and ready to crash. Just a short recipe today: Capon ravioli from 1574 www.culina-vetus.de/2025/10/05/c... #culinaryhistory #foodhistory #earlymodern #dumplings
Frontispiece of the first (1547) edition of Balthasar Staindl's Künstlichs und nutzlichs Kochbuch held at the Bayrische Staatsbibliothek. The image shows a woodcut of a richly equipped and busy kitchen. The master cook is standing to the left of the large masonry hearth, tasting the contents of  a large cookpot stood next to the fire while a cauldron is suspended above it. Two men in the background seem to be addressing him. In the right foreground, another man is cutting meat on a work surface set up atop a wooden trough on trestles. Carcasses and a large sausage are shown suspended on the wall  in the background. 
Everything about this image - the size, the range of equipment, the exclusively male staff, the amounts of meat on display - signals wealth. This is the kind of kitchen you would expect to find in the house of a rich burgher or landed nobleman. The motif recurs in many German cookbooks of the fifteenth and sixteenth century.

Entered the second batch of individuals into my genealogical database. In these ten years (1670-1679), another 194 persons were buried in the church of Tilburg. This makes an average of almost 20 per year for the years 1660-1679. It shows how uncommon such a funeral was. #genealogy #earlymodern
The image shows the church of Tilburg in the mid-18th century, as depicted in a watercolour by Jan de Beijer. The church is in the center of the picture, with houses to the left and right, the village pump and some people.

… to her spiritual authority. Her sermons in 1645-6 drew thousands. She and her fellow women preachers were nevertheless denounced by some as a “brazen-faced, strange, new feminine brood”. #earlymodern #womenpreachers

4 October 1582: A bad day, in my view, as in much of Europe it is the last day before the adoption of the Gregorian calendar. In Spain and its empire (including Portugal and much of Italy) and various other places, tomorrow will be 15 October. This tiresome piece of meddling ... 1/ #earlymodern

A serious contender for my favourite woman in Voices of Thunder! Anna Trapnel was a young woman who publicly criticised Oliver Cromwell. A thorn in the side of the authorities, she was accused of being a witch. Trapnel was a true radical, advocating for a fairer society for all. #earlymodern

Entered the first batch of individuals into my genealogical database: 202 persons buried in the church in Tilburg 1660-1669. There's still a lot of work to be done, but the first patterns are starting to emerge. For example, from which neighborhoods people primarily came. #genealogy #earlymodern
The image shows the original, handwritten text "begraven in de kerck" which translates to "buried in the church".

Back from v productive trip to Denmark and UK. This unremarkable hillock was one of my goals: the tinghøj where Sønder Djurs herredsting condemned Søren Jensen Quist, parson of Vejlby, to death in July 1626. Near the village of Albøge, East Jutland, Denmark. #skystorians #earlymodern #danishhistory

Today, I accidently delved into the world of gambling in 16th-century Netherlands. Apparently, King Philip II of Spain believed that if his governor-general, Margaret of Parma, had no means of securing money, she could always draw from the lottery. #earlymodern #skystorians
A page with text in sixteenth century French. The central passage says: "Except that if you see for yourself that it must have caused too many inconveniences to the affairs of my Netherlands by having spent the money, which I hope is not the case, given that, if necessary, you still have the deposit of two hundred thousand écus for the lottery." The original version: "Si ce n'est que vous voyez de vous-même qu'il en doit venir de trop grands inconvénients aux affaires de mes Pays-Bas, par s'être dénoué de l'argent, que j'espère toutefois que non, vu que, au besoin, vous avez là encore le dépôt de deux cent mille écus pour la loterie."
From: Correspondance de Marguerite d'Autriche, duchesse de Parme, avec Philippe II (1842), p. 178, https://archive.org/details/correspondanced00philgoog/page/n8/mode/1up

3 Oct. 1700 #OTD Alice Thornton’s daughter, Alice Comber, gave bond of £2000 to prove the will of her late husband, Thomas Comber. In his will he left Alice Thornton £10 for mourning dress and specified that the annuity he had paid her since 1692 should continue. #EarlyModern 🗃️

Back to pondering again how an unmarried 17thC English woman from a not wealthy background could amass an estimated (by her stunned brother) estate of £800+ - 17thC money, so hardly loose change - jewels, plate & various land across the country. Any ideas, #EarlyModern folks? (cont)

I asked ChatGPT to translate this Hebrew text. I know what it should say (the birth of David Isaac Cohen), but I wanted AI to confirm my thoughts. Here is what I received back: "Joannes van Aelst married Aeltien Aerdts". A total disaster! #genealogy #earlymodern
