I have been taking notes and copying verses from daily Bible and lectionary readings in a journal like this for better study and to practice penmanship. I didn't realize there was a name for this type of book. I also use it to practice drawing Christian symbols, so I find the journals with dot paper are preferable for this.
Thanks for sharing!
I love commonplace books
I love this idea!!

Good video. Benjamin Mayes has an article on this same habit and its use in the era of Lutheran orthodoxy.
Yes. I have read that article. There is also a video online (over an hour, I think) of him talk more about Common Place books.
