So it turns out that my original "research blog" has become public enough that I am reluctant to post small daily comments. Happily, my class at the Newberry Library has given me the excuse to restart a more informal blog. I took the title from Paradise Lost, my favorite poem.
I was excited to find that the Newberry has a copy of an engraving we'll be using in class this week. It's in a volume called Nova Reperta along with several other marvelous images. No copy of the engraving available on the Internet comes near to the quality of the original, and many details are suddenly clear.
