Marginalia

August 21, 2020 by BureaucratONE Leave a Comment Last Updated August 21, 2020

Marginalia (or apostils) are marks made in the margins of a book or other document. They may be scribbles, comments, glosses (annotations), critiques, doodles, or illuminations.

  • Interaction between author and reader
  • Translates reading into writing
  • Improves critical thinking
  • Helps identify the state of mind at the time of reading the book
  • New insights not mentioned in the book
  • Corpus of ideas for a quick look back
  • Creativity is a cocktail of borrowed ideas - these ideas act as a slow burn for future projects
  • Marks my signature
