It's lovely to hear from you-...Hello hello Jim! It's lovely to hear from you-- I hope all is well! I of course completely agree with you about the superiority of hand-written notes. I often think what a bore it will be for future archaeologists/anthropologists to study 21st century humans: I imagine much of the interpersonal communications will be in the form of electronic files-- and text messages! I can't help think these are much less interesting and much less telling than the marks we make with pen and paper. I came across an old accounting ledger a few years ago in an antique shop-- that ledger, with only line items and sums was so beautiful, it absolutely piqued my curiosity about the long-dead people involved... The handwriting, done in dip pen and ink, the quality of the paper and bindings, told so much about the people, and the time... I'm so glad you enjoyed Linnaeus' page-- beware of getting lost in the Linnean Society's website!!! Just when you think you've found the perfect inspirational and brilliant page, along comes another, and another... What a treat to be able to read these and catch a glimpse of the genius at work. <br />Warm regards,<br />Erika Parvum Opushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464815622667738686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146709882273582485.post-77742394817407867322015-03-11T19:25:55.576-04:002015-03-11T19:25:55.576-04:00Hello hello Mark!

With all of your interests, it's no wonder they'd come in handy. I think I first encountered the term in a book by Anne Fadiman, but I can't be sure now... The notation is in one of my own commonplace books, but I can't remember which one!! In any case, I think it's a wonderful practice, and I love to revisit all of the noteworthy items from my past readings... I think we're in very good company!<br />Warm regards,<br />ErikaParvum Opushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464815622667738686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146709882273582485.post-48399619248659567312015-03-11T15:41:51.240-04:002015-03-11T15:41:51.240-04:00Hello Erika, Paper notebooks work in a different...Hello Erika, Paper notebooks work in a different way than electronic versions (although both have their uses), so I don't think that written notebooks will be going away soon. They are particularly useful for sketches and marginalia. And paper notebooks can be more permanent that computerized ones. Even when backed up, computer files become unreadable after a time because their formats become outdated. However, all you have to do with an old notebook is open it up.<br /><br />I loved getting the glimpse of Linnaeus' commonplace book; botany has long been my hobby, and I have always admired Linnaeus, a bronze statue of whom is near the entrance of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146709882273582485.post-49386680289437636232015-03-11T10:41:31.869-04:002015-03-11T10:41:31.869-04:00Dear Erika,

I've found them useful and fun for trips, but I've also started one for favorite quotations. Sometimes you hear a gem that is so good that you want to keep it on ice for your own use!<br /><br />That marbled green is perfect, but I'm off to see your other paper selections . . .<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />MarkMark D.
