Wonderfully unhinged painting of by an unknown Flemish artist of the 17th century with St. James, dressed as a pilgrim, in a magic battle with the sorcerer Hermogenes. Monsters, demons, monkeys, trapeze acts, fakes Jameses…what else could you want in a painting? #earlymodern #arthistory

We should just come back to old tested academic traditions. Articles should have titles like "Some More Thoughts on Medieval Kingship" (87 pages), "Merovingian Gaul. A History" (3 pages, no footnotes), and "An Interesting Pendant from Paris" (unknown pagination, published in village-based journal).

Thought I’d share this on here for any interested grad students.

CFP for Edinburgh’s international grad conference, happening next year on 24-25 April. Applications are open for anyone working on Late Antiquity and the Medieval period (venturing beyond the Centre’s Byzantine and Islamic focus).

Couldn’t refuse the mini pilgrimage to check out the new(ish) exhibition at the @britishlibrary.bsky.social.
Personal highlights obviously included Christine de Pizan’s Harley MS 4431 and this lovely print of the Alexiad, along with this fish-frog (or fish-toad?) amalgam in it’s rather dapper cape.
