The Commonplace Book: A Knowledge Journal

A commonplace book is a kind of diary of miscellany―an autobiography of the mind―that’s been used since the Middle Ages. Commonplace books were kept by everyone from Leonardo da Vinci to Virginia Woolf, and now the practice is once again gaining in popularity.

These intellectual scrapbooks can be filled with entries of many kinds: from quotes, excerpts, and poems to prayers, recipes, and memorabilia.
