Updated reading list...

"Shopping in the Renaissance", Evelyn Welch [finished, still need to write review]

"Astrology: a history", Peter Whitfield [about half-way through, lots of good stuff]

"Elizabeth's Spy Master", Robert Hutchinson [80 pages in, but a bit of a dour character to read much about]

"The Renaissance in Europe: A Reader", Keith Whitlock [Still not yet started this, beginning to wonder if I ever will]

"Decipher" Stel Pavlou [33 pages in, a nice bit of superficial fun, shame I don't have a beach holiday to take it on]

"History of Magic & Experimental Science" Vol. IV (Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries), Lynn Thorndike [20 pages in, but everything else has to go on hold while I read it]

Current reading list...

Here's my current reading list: make of it what you will.

"Shopping in the Renaissance", Evelyn Welch [just finished, will review here soon]

"Of Grammatology", Jacques Derrida [100 pages in, which is about 98 pages more than most people... but it's a desperately slow read]

"The Occult Sciences in Byzantium", Paul Magdalino and Maria Mavroudi [about halfway through: a fascinating (if piecemeal) collection of essays]

"Secrets of the Code", Dan Burstein [150 pages in: an interesting compilation of snippets, but all a bit off-topic for a Voynichologist - I was more interested in figuring out how to to compile a Voynich reader, like a more text-based version of D'Imperio]

"PopCo", Scarlett Thomas [50 pages in: will review this shortly]

"Lucrezia Borgia", Sarah Bradford [I've not yet started this: but it seems to have lots of interesting Quattrocento texture to look forward to]

"Elizabeth's Spy Master", Robert Hutchinson [Not yet started]

"The Renaissance in Europe: A Reader", Keith Whitlock [Not yet started]

"History of Astrology", Peter Whitfield [Not yet started: I liked his "The Mapping of the Heavens" and "Mapping The World", so I have high hopes for this]
