Beautiful maps in Six of Crows…

Look what I got! The best thing about this edition is not its pretty cover, but the fact that it’s a new and supposedly good translation with almost 200 pages of notes. I have only read tiny bits of Dante, so I’m stoked about finally getting this. || “And so my mind, held high above itself, looked on, intent and still, in wondering awe.“

About to embark on this 961 page journey.

I love to browse the Q section of the stacks - growing up on Bill Nye the Science Guy, I have a healthy appreciation for the general sciences! This interesting book really caught my eye, as there are a wide variety of images made me want to learn more about it. Published in 1636, here is Delicia Physic-Mathematicae, a book about scientific recreations and ideas for inventions. Daniel Schwenter (Schwender) is the author of this book, and he was also a mathematician, inventor, poet, and librarian!
