Challenge # 2 Commonplace Books

Post by Patti »

During the Renaissance period (the 14th to 17th centuries), it became popular for noble and educated Europeans to keep what was called “commonplace books”. As the printing press wasn’t invented until the latter half of that period, these books had a closer resemblance to, what today we would call “bullet journals” – a bound journal of blank pages that contains assemblages of notes from various sources on various topics, rather than a book that is filled with glued-in paper items.
Following the invention of the printing press in the mid-1400s, as well as the proliferation of bibles, many families recorded their family histories on the blank pages at the front of their family bibles.

Challenge # 2


The printing press brought the written word to the masses and books were now more readily available to the common man.

For this challenge, you are to focus on BOOKS in at least one of the following ways:
Use a background paper that has written words
Create a mini-book to be used on your LO
Use book ephemera
Use pictures of people reading books
Use newsprint
Stamp words
