It has occurred to me that Jewish acronyms and abbreviations seem to fall into four main categories:

shorthand for things related to Torah study (Tanakh, Rambam, etc.)

mnemonics to help with memorizing orders of things (d’tzach adash b’achav, YakNeHaZ... I'm sure there are non-Pesach-related examples too, they've just slipped my mind at the moment 😂)

friendly reminders that Hashem is present in everything (B"H, IYH, etc.)

expressions of mourning (BDE, Z"L, etc.)

...Upon reflection, this feels very in-character for our people.

Hey! Kinda new around here and was wondering if you could tell me what these fics are TIPDIG, CG, SPEE, LRPD, and I think there’s a few others. I keep seeing these in like fic recommendations posts but I can’t figure out what the actual title are? Is there are son people keep abbreviating them?

Hi hi, welcome to the fandom <3 People really like abbreviations in here for some reason! It usually happens to the popular fics with longer names that you assume everyone knows anyway and you don't want to retype everytime you mention it. But there is absolutely no logic behind it because there are some pretty popular fics that never get abbreviated :D

The ones you've mentioned are:

TIPDIG - The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Ian Gallagher

CG - Cooperative Gameplay

LRPD - Like Real People Do

For SPEE we had to think for longer, we've never seen it before but we assumed it was something recent, and the one that fits seems to be - Silent Pain in Emerald Eyes. None of us has read it yet, but it's probably this one :)

Other popular abbreviations you might see:

NTW - None the wiser

EATS - Etherized Against the Sky 

ITQD - Intro to Quantum Dating

LIAB - Love is a Ballfield

SHITW - Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

YNSUA - you'll never see us again

Triple C - The Casanova Catering Conflict

And of course TSTLSOOM - Teenagers Scare The Living Shit Out Of Me 

There are too many fics that get abbreviated, so we can't name them all. But if you ever see another one and get confused - hit us up and we'll decode it for you ;)

It bothers me that botl is the only book that has a four letter abbreviation?

IF we were cutting it down to three letters/words, would you omit "the" (as we do at the beginning of som or botl, but not tlt/ttc/tlo) and make it "bol" (battle of labyrinth) or "of" and make it "btl" (battle the labyrinth)?

#I choose btl #because I think battle the labyrinth #is more accurate #the battle at the end shares the name of the book #but I think battling the labyrinth is what they spend the whole book doing #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #percy series #percy jackson spoilers #pjo spoilers #battle of the labyrinth #botl #tlt #som #ttc #tlo #&thoughts #abbreviations

Try to fit THIS in English in the same amount of space on the powerpoint as it took up in Japanese:

海外 (米　馬　泰　独　中　尼　墨　韓)

Overseas (U.S., Malaysia, Thailand, Germany, China, Indonesia, Mexico, Korea)

Ones I had to look up:

馬 (Malaysia, apparently comes from 馬来西亜)

尼 (Indonesia, apparently comes from 印度尼西亜) (印 was already taken for India)

This page has a lot of other ones, too!

ITALIAN ROTUNDA GOTHIC

One of the few incunables we hold that have all the initials rubricated (i.e., initials completed in red manuscript) is a 1481 printing of Nicolas De Lyra’s biblical commentary Moralia super totam Bibliam, printed in Mantua by Paulus de Butzbach. It uses a typeface modelled after a rounded Gothic manuscript hand known as Rotunda. 

The Italian version of the Rotunda, that this typeface is based on, was developed for copying manuscripts at the University of Bologna in the 13th century, and is sometimes referred to as littera bononiensis. This rounded form seems to have developed to accommodate more rapid copying to provide materials for a voracious academic clientele. However, this also increased the amount of space letterforms would occupy, so a series of abbreviation conventions were developed to save space that are especially associated with the Italian Rotunda.

These can be seen throughout the examples shown here, but they are especially vivid in the colophonic text of the last image. For example, the lowercase q with a line beneath the bow signifying the word "qui," or the r rotunda (ꝛ) which follows a letter with a rounded stroke on the right side, such as the one following the o in the word ordine in the second paragraph, following the underlined name of “Nicolaus de Lyra.” You can also see the use of the visually-related Tironian et ⟨⁊⟩ used to signify etcetera. The rubricator has not only completed all the initials, but has also highlighted capital letters in red, marked paragraph openings, and underlined certain words or phrases for emphasis. The humorous artery-like illustration around the rubricated n in the second to last image was likely added much later, perhaps after William Harvey published his findings on the circulation of blood in 1628!

Not much is known about the printer Paulus de Butzbach, although he is quite well-noted as a printer for one of the first three editions of Dante’s Commedia, all three of which appeared in 1472. However, using the raw data in the Incunabula Short Title Catalogue (ISTC) we can say that he seems to have had  a relatively short career from 1471/2 to 1481, when our book was printed. A German printer (as most early printers in Italy were), he appears to have begun his career with another German printer Georgius de Augusta at Verona in 1471 or 72. After printing a handful of classical titles in Verona, they moved operations to Mantua in 1472 where the Commedia was printed. They continued to work together and for others there until 1475, when Butzbach’s name begins to appear in colophons by itself, and he continues to print alone until about 1481. In those ten years, Butzbach participated in the printing of some 30 editions. Our copy of Moralia super totam Bibliam is one of only 95 worldwide noted in ISTC.
