Friday before Hanukkah and I’m reviewing books for a fellow, all well and good. Then I open this 1546 German medical book, and BOOM.
Sheet of paper covered with writing in a 16th-century German hand. The date at the bottom reads 1546.

Sometimes at the end of a long week, I like to consult my local soothsayer and then ignore her warnings so that I can tell you about the amazing scholars at the Linda Hall Library.

That’s right, #histSTM/#histsci/#STS friends…it’s time for an #IdesOfMarch edition of #FellowFriday! [1/11] 🗃️📜

As always, these updates represent a small sample of the outstanding #histSTM scholarship produced by Linda Hall Library research fellows.
