I'm excited to share a digital edition of Susanna Collet's 17th-century commonplace book, held at @MorganLibrary.
@zoe_braccia & I made it using @digitalmappa. It features a full transcription/facsimile & a searchable library of Collet's source texts.

Collet was a member of the religious household at Little Gidding ca. 1630s. Her commonplace book is remarkably structured: one half scripture excerpts, organized by topic, the other half secular excerpts organized under the same topics. More about it here: digitalbookhistory.com/colletscommonp…
In working with the manuscript, @zoe_braccia tracked down the sources of nearly excerpt. The edition highlights any variance between a source text and Collet’s copy using @digitalmappa’s hyperlinked assets. I discuss the significance of these differences in #CutCopyPasteBook.
