The author of The Footnote reflects on scribes, scholars, and the work of publishing during the golden age of the book.
From Francis Bacon to Barack Obama, thinkers and political leaders have denounced humanists as obsessively bookish and allergic to labor. In this celebration of bookmaking in all its messy and intricate detail, renowned historian Anthony Grafton invites us to see the scholars of early modern Europe as diligent workers. Meticulously illuminating the physical and mental labors that fostered the golden age of the book—the compiling of notebooks, copying and correction of texts and proofs, preparation of copy—he shows us how the exertions of scholars shaped influential books, treatises, and forgeries.
Inky Fingers ranges widely, tracing the transformation of humanistic approaches to texts in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and examining the simultaneously sustaining and constraining effects of theological polemics on sixteenth-century scholars. Grafton draws new connections between humanistic traditions and intellectual innovations, textual learning and craft knowledge, manuscript and print.
Above all, Grafton makes clear that the nitty-gritty of bookmaking has had a profound impact on the history of ideas—that the life of the mind depends on the work of the hands.

哈特利布应勃兰登堡边境伯爵约翰一世(Markgrave Johannes of Brandenburg)的要求，在1460年前后创作了《禁术之书》(Book of the Forbidden Arts)。他在书中提到了七种禁术，对其作了定义和分类，并将这些活动全部视为不同形式的占卜:死灵术，靠魔鬼实现的魔法;地占术，通过掷骰子进行预测;水占术，通过观察水进行预测;风占术，通过风向和喷嚏进行预测;火占术，用特定日期砍下的木柴烧火，观察火中的影像;手相术，解读手掌的纹路;骨占术，用肩胛骨或其他骨头进行占卜。 (查看原文)

格拉夫敦几篇专著的合集。前言和前三篇尤其有意思，在今天埋首读书写字的人依然会被触到痛处。可以和《法老的宝藏》凑一对“纸与书”组合。

个案研究的合集，囊括了17-18世纪欧洲的古物学家、经院哲学学者、以及校书者。提到当时百科全书的编纂其实也是一个剪刀加糨糊的过程，同时融入了学者在旅行中得来的一手经验，在想是不是可以和明代类书的编纂相比较～
