Hans Kienhorst | Ad Poirters Book collections as archaeological sites
a study of interconnectedness and meaning in the historical library of the canonesses regular of Soeterbeeck
In 1997 the canonesses regular of Soeterbeeck moved from their convent in Deursen (the Netherlands) to a nursing home in Nuland. They left behind an old library of considerable size and historical significance that is now the core of the Soeterbeeck Collection at Nijmegen University Library. It is a suitable starting point for telling the story of the historical library of a women's convent with roots in the Modern Devotion, from the community's humble beginnings in 1448 to the present day.

Agents of change in the Greco-Roman and early modern periods
ten case studies in agency in innovation
Wie of wat zorgt ervoor dat innovatie zich verspreidt? Tien casestudies uit de Grieks-Romeinse oudheid en de vroegmoderne tijd gaan in op menselijke en niet-menselijke invloed op innovatie. Was Erasmus de 'superverspreider' van het gebruik van het Nieuw-Oudgrieks? Hoe heeft een speciaal type klem bijgedragen aan architectonische innovatie in Delphi? Welke agenten hebben bijgedragen aan de verspreiding van een nieuwe festivalcultuur in de oostelijke delen van het Romeinse rijk? Hoe heeft een context...

Lance Morrow The noise of typewriters

"W.H. Auden famously wrote: "Poetry makes nothing happen." Journalism is a different matter. In a brilliant study that is, in part, a memoir of his 40 years as an essayist and critic at TIME magazine, Lance Morrow returns to the Age of Typewriters and to the 20th century's extraordinary cast of characters-statesmen and dictators, saints and heroes, liars and monsters, and the reporters, editors, and publishers who interpreted their deeds. He shows how journalism has touched the history of the last...
