Fantastic news! I am so excited to announce that I have been awarded a Predoctoral Residential Fellowship at the Center for the Art and Architectural History of Port Cities (La Capraia) in Naples, Italy for the 2025-2026 academic year!

This is a dream come true! 🥳

Sadly not the one I need 🥲

Has anyone that’s been to the BL recently had any issues with getting registered? I need to see the prayer book of Alfonso V of Aragon and have not yet been to the BL in person.

Modernists: I’m looking to find more secondary scholarship about the bombing of southern Italy—particularly Naples—in 1943/1944 to get a better appreciation of how those events shaped cultural heritage (archives lost, art destroyed, etc). Any ideas?

Can anyone explain to me why...

Slave owners are referred to as "un amo" or "su amo"?

If you’re in Portland this week for SCSC conference, please stop by two panels Héctor Linares Gonzalez & I have co-organized on saints, relics, and religious self-fashioning in the Iberian world!

I am (sadly) not at SCSC because I’m on fellowship in Napoli, so go and support our panels 🥳
