Looking forward to speaking in Trento in April on Visual and multimodal AI. It’s a hybrid event for those interested in tuning in from afar!
A rare and remarkable occurrence of two female printer-publishers not only working together but using their given names: Yolande Bonhomme's imprint and Charlotte Guillard's colophon in an edition of Augustine published in Paris in 1541 (USTC 204524)! hdl.handle.net/10481/10736
This really is a tremendous book. A great read and exceptionally thoughtful.

How to do #TEI annotation with #GPT-4: prompt engineering advice & examples from @LurchPollin at @DHdKonferenz #DHd2024

Curious what early modern printers earned? In 1693, printers at the #PlantinPress earned up to 6 florins weekly. Compositors’ wage fluctuated between 5 and 8 fl. a week. Collators earned only 3 fl. 12 st. weekly. At the time, 1 florin was enough to buy about 30 dried herrings.
Extension update! Read all about our continued efforts to expand the USTC to 1700 with books from the Holy Roman Empire and Prussia: ustc.ac.uk/news/extension…
A washed out inscription from a book from the library of @ChalonsAgglo can be digitally enhanced ... and then transcribed ⬇️ 1/2
Today at the HAB our guest tutor was Joost Depuydt from the @plantinmoretus. We got to see original 16th woodblocks next to the prints that they generated. Amazing to see the two side by side!
