The final touches on the syllabi are there, and now the only thing missing are students, who arrive this weekend. Here's to a joyful and meaningful semester of teaching and learning! (And no, I'm not sorry for my choice of electric yellow. iykyk ;))
Poster for a course titled "When Humans Meet Animals in Medieval French Literature," including a manuscript illumination of a human eating/kissing a fish (technically a "pirolopus"). Poster for a course titled "Between the Lines: Introduction to French Literary Analysis," with an ink drawing by Edouard Manet of a woman writing.

A green book from the De Gruyter-series “Sense, Matter, and Medium” titled “History with Manuscripts in Medieval and Early Modern Europe”, edited by Johannes Junge Ruhland, lies on a wooden floor. The cover features a detailed illustration from the Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis (Baltimore, Walters Art Museum, MS W. 306, fol. 148). Scroll-format manuscript of Peter of Poitiers’ ‘Compendium in genealogia Christi’, created in 13th-century Canterbury. The parchment features a vertical genealogical diagram of Christ’s lineage, with Latin text, red and blue ink, and several illustrated medallions and figures. Held by the Cleveland Museum of Art (1973.5.a). Image: Cleveland Museum of Art, CC0 1.0. An open book on a wooden floor showing a miniature of the so-called Fauvel Master from ca. 1325 with two figures sitting opposite each other with books in their hands: Benoît de Sainte-Maure translating Dares Phrygius's 'De excidio Troiae' into the Roman de Troie, 'Ovide moralisé'. Paris, Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal, MS 5069, fol. 167v. Source: Gallica/BnF.
