This day may have presented the most unexpected contrast yet in the life of a medievalist in the fjords. Around noon, I sent off the final corrections for this year's issue of the journal I'm editing. A few hours later I fished the pelt from a deer's abdomen out of a brook.

#Medievalsky #BookHistory hive mind, are there any in-depth palaeographical studies, from any tradition, on the hands of individual scribes/copyists? Grateful for all recommendations!

During this week, I will also present some of the results of my PhD research at the Medieval Research Seminar in Exeter, both in person and via Zoom. I'm looking forward to it!

Wenn man sich für deutsch-amerikanische Literatur interessiert, hat man es oft mit einer solchen miserablen Überlieferungslage zu tun, und man kann nur hoffen, dass es noch ein zweites, besseres Exemplar gibt.

Thrilled to have this piece by Omar Muhammed & @fancynahyan.bsky.social out now. I'll be using it tomorrow in a talk at UC-Merced on "Where Do Pandemics Come From? Using Black Death Narratives to Rethink the Origin of Pandemics." Or the question we really need to ask: when are pandemics? A quick 🧵.

1656 edition of Thomas Erpenius’s Grammatica Arabica, with the annotations of a seventeenth-century student of Arabic, recording what appears to be instruction from Erpenius’s student (and the editor of this edition), Jacob Golius (1596-1667).

If there's anything more exciting than seeing a book you work on in an exhibition, it's surely being invited to talk about it. Very excited for this event next month!
