2017 marks the 10th year of my blog. In blog years that is a very long time
To celebrate the anniversary I have begun a simple bookplate contest with a nice
prize for the winner.
The contest relates to this bookplate for Doctor Ferdinandi Pasquinelli
He was licensed in Italy in 1908
The motto at the top of his plate translates as follows:
Latin nihil sub sole novum, from the Hebrew אֵין כָּל חָדָשׁ תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ (en kol chadásh táchat hashámesh, “there is nothing new under the sun”), from Ecclesiastes 1:9.
