Perhaps it is Oerle, a village currently in Northern Brabant? In this region the last name Orle was not uncommon (based on archival records 15th and 16th century).

TextDiving in Valladolid (birthplace of Philip II). Great scholarly conversations, as well as Jesuits and their early modern books!

In true early modern style, thanks to cross-channel mobility and a smuggling operation in Leuven, I am now the proud owner of this badge. 👏🙏 to @onslies.bsky.social

Sigh ... 🫣 we need different types (and amounts) of funding AND NOT more concentration of research money!

Love this! I have some examples, not in death registers, but lists of sailors (also Venetian), and have been looking for other examples. Have you written on this topic?

Ingenious use of woodcuts that overlap typeset text in this 1588 edition, visually reproducing old inscriptions found on funerary stones, altars & Capitoline Tables, carefully rendering letters but also the erosion, fractures & surface damage of their material supports.

Exciting news, Bluesky! I’m editing a new book series for Bloomsbury with Tom Mole and Lisa Gitelman: Book History for the Future! Do you focus on material textual artifacts and innovative methodologies? We’re actively soliciting proposals, so give us a shout! www.bloomsbury.com/media/cecjzl...
BLOOMSBURY ACADEMIC NEW SERIES Book History for the Future SERIES EDITORS: Lisa Gitelman, New York University, USA Tom Mole, Durham University, UK Sarah Werner, Independent Researcher, USA Book History for the Future aims to define the cutting edge for a new generation of book historians, as book history enters a new chapter of its evolution. Books sit at a densely trafficked intersection of social relations, status negotiations, emotional investments, material possibilities, desires, aspirations, and dreams. They require an intellectual approach grounded in attention to physical artefacts and material conditions while also engaged in theoretical reflection, attentive to historical contexts while attuned to contemporary resonances. This series publishes books that eschew academic parochialism in favour of adventurous engagements with new theoretical developments, innovative methodologies, digital tools, and global contexts.
