This is how a page from a medieval looks when its original text had been scraped off by someone, overwritten with a new text, and then later, a 19th-century scholar discovered the and tried to make the undertext's ink visible again by painting the page with chemical reagents.

@dbellingradt @histodons Egads! The book curse probably got the scholar.

I love book curses. Were they just an English thing or did all languages do it?

A fave:
“If anyone take away this book, let him die the death; let him be fried in a pan; let the falling sickness and fever seize him; let him be broken on the wheel, and hanged. Amen.”

Strongly recommend this book.

Author clearly explains how private equity firms are destroying essential industries, how they avoid legal responsibility for the disastrous consequences, who’s empowering them and how they can be stopped.

Private equity’s is to blame for much of the worst aspects of health care, housing crisis, the economy as well as the deepening wealth gap.
