Awhile back I happened upon the blog Giornale Nuovo. It is not a biblioblog. I suppose it's an art blog. The posts are not frequent (once a week?) and there are always superb images included. Today's post is about István Orosz, who is apparently a Hungarian graphic artist. The pictures displayed on the blog have an Escher-like quality.

I've found that when posts from Giornale Nuovo appear they are a pleasant distraction to my morning blog reading.

Also served at the site is Isaac D'Israeli's Curiosities of Literature, which may be of interest to some. More info on that:

An incrementally-published online presentation of Isaac D’Israeli’s book Curiosities of Literature, a compendium of book-lore originally published in six volumes between 1791 and 1834. The present text is reproduced from an undated (but probably 1870s or ’80s) single-volume edition published by Routledge. I have also reproduced the book’s Dedication, its Introduction (a Memoir of D’Israeli), and its ‘Advertisement’. Corrections and glosses are welcomed: comments will be moderated.
