Toronto has a nice Book History/Print Culture program which I had been flirting with for a semester until I recently dropped it. I did get the opportunity to look at some manuscripts in the relevant class. I left because I was more concerned with the form of the book and its influence on communication, but it was a very interesting class.

I enjoy your del.icio.us posts, they are often philosophical and philosophy is my first love.

I came to your blog after noticing you shared my link to the ‘Commentators on Aristotle’ entry from Stanford’s Encyclopedia on del.icio.us. [a wonderfully helpful bibliography on the subject] Your post above on Schiller’s 1835 Werke intrigues me, is the following link consistent with the volumes you moved up-town:

P.S. I answered a remote reference question yesterday from a UToronto PhD book historian regarding a letter of ‘Caspar Hedio to Capito’ mentioned in de Ricci’s Census.

Is this what digital libraries are all about?

Enjoy your werke, Thomas.
