@ExeterCollegeOx @Exeoxlibrary At number 6, an exercise in performative friendship several centuries before Facebook: this 17th century ‘album amicorum’, a ‘friendship book’ in which inscriptions, signatures and drawings commemorate friends of the owner: https://t.co/Y8pmhFFmRB

Ouch: Thomas Topham, The Strong Man, lifts three barrels (with his legs and not his back, we hope) in one of his "astonishing feats of Strength" in 1741. https://t.co/aiE1Mw86jG

A breathtaking Hebrew manuscript digitized for our #PolonskyProject is returning to Galicia for an exhibition. Read about what makes it special: https://t.co/FaCtFBVa7B.

We're getting spoiled by @ChCh_Oxford lately. Another recent addition to Digital Bodleian from their collections is this 1456 manuscript copy of Virgil's Eclogues and Georgics, produced in Ferrara by Matteo Contugi of Volterra: https://t.co/ZbnihsUVyR

We're dangerously close to losing a whole morning just gazing happily at this anglo-saxon minuscule script, dashed with splashes of red, yellow and green, from a Carolingian legal text we recently digitized in our #PolonskyGerman collaboration: https://t.co/c4lKCDxGJb

These images were captured for "Illuminating the Life of the Buddha", a 2013 book about MS. Pali a. 27 (R) by Appleton, Shaw and Unebe: https://t.co/roFCCL6j6V. The @bodleianlibs copy is out to a reader, but we've got a hold on it next.

The English bulldog appears frequently in our digitized Curzon collection of cartoons from the Napoleonic Wars. Here, a bulldog named Wellington and a Russian bear attack a monkey representing Napoleon.

This might not be an elephant but it looks like it would be a good friend (MS. Douce 391) https://t.co/dRJOmIubkU
