Dandelion, from Rembert Dodoens’s herbal, translated into English by Henry Lyte (1578). CCA.47.196 @theUL #InternationalDayoftheDandelion

This week we celebrated with our amazing colleague @RM_Rowe who retired as Royal Commonwealth Society Librarian @theUL and Librarian at @CSASCambridge after 22 years of inspiring librarianship. Rachel put people at the heart of everything she did and we will miss her enormously.

The Map Department’s postcard collection brings me to Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Here I enjoy the city's fine waterfront and I am again confronted with the reality that much of what I see here was lost during WW2 and subsequently revitalised after the war. @_BRICMICS #postcard

Vesuvius erupted #OTD in 1906, devastating #Naples. Among the many non-book items @theUL are these fragments of wall paintings, thought to be from #Pompeii. They live in the Lewis Cabinet of MSS & curiosities, given to us in 1727. Learn more @CamDigLib https://t.co/hSxu2vkTgi

My day with the postcard collection ends in California, where I view the residence of Luther Burbank, a pioneer in agricultural science. From there I visit San Bernardino, where an arrowhead shape measuring 1,375 x 449 feet rests upon the mountainside. #Maps @_BRICMICS #postcard

The Map Department’s postcard collection takes me on a trip through Norway. It begins in Trondheim the capital of Norway in the Viking Age. From here I continue to Hammerfest before sailing from Cape Nordkinn, the northernmost point of mainland Europe. #Maps @_BRICMICS #postcard

For Dante Day, get lost in this illuminated initial from our 1472 Mantua edition of the ‘Commedia’ or take a trip to stars with Dante and Beatrice. Explore these and more in our 2006 exhibition, ‘Visible language: Dante in text and image’. https://t.co/MDdok6vsJ3 #Dantedi @theUL

A little dog on the loose in the old @theUL, chaos everywhere! #PuppyDay

Regulars at @theUL will recognise those bookcases from the North and South Fronts.
