Very excited to be contributing a chapter (titled ‘Collecting Culture: Árni Magnússon’s Latin Liturgical Manuscript Fragments’) to this volume!
🔈🔔 I’m very happy to announce the contract is signed for ‘Medieval Fragmentology: Provenance, Contexts and Interdisciplinarity’. This edited volume will bring together a great range of exciting research into MSS, textiles, architecture…

I can’t wait to get started!

As someone who works on medieval Icelandic liturgy, and who sings Evensong regularly in my colleges chapel choir, I was very excited to see some familiar texts in BL Add. 4895 today!

I had the best time examining some liturgical fragments in Kansalliskirjasto on Wednesday, ahead of the colloquium ‘Books, Music and the Liturgical Life of the Medieval Church’. After a fascinating day of papers yesterday, I’m excited to give my own today.

Me, my college scarf, and free department instant coffee against the world.

The year is 2025. I’m doing a PhD researching medieval manuscripts, Dan and Phil are dating and I’m seeing MCR play all of the Black Parade in the summer. This was my dream timeline at 13…

I chatted to @trinityhallcamb.bsky.social’s ‘Cambridge from the Inside’ podcast about my time in @department-asnc.bsky.social (and a little bit about my research) a while back! youtu.be/cfx6XXzyTZs?...

Can’t help but think I’d find #KingAndConqueror much more enjoyable if I didn’t work on medieval history…

I'm looking forward to returning to Reykjavík to present my paper at the 31st Congress of Nordic Historians on Wednesday. I am very grateful to the AHRC’s Open-Oxford-Cambridge Doctoral Training Partnership for funding my attendance!

Rain on St Swithun’s Day! On the plus side, just after I planted some flowers in our garden…

Really enjoyed presenting my paper at @imc-leeds.bsky.social this morning in Session 1121: ‘Medieval Fragments II: Theological/ Liturgical Manuscripts + Incunabula’. Thank you @manuelmunoz.bsky.social for organising such an exciting and insightful set of four sessions! So many ideas to think about…

Quick update: I passed my registration viva last Thursday, and am now officially a PhD Candidate!

There’s a lot more work to do over the next few years but I’m excited to have reached this milestone in my research career.

I'm looking forward to presenting my research on the máldagabækur and the use of the breviary in the medieval Icelandic parish church at the 16th Bergen International Symposium in Old Norse Studies this coming week! This paper is based on a chapter of my PhD thesis.

Looking forward to presenting a paper on the máldagar (Icelandic church inventory charters). I will be exploring what they can tell us about liturgical books and devotional practices in the parish church at the 31st Congress of Nordic Historians in Reykjavík this August!

Spending this morning transcribing a fragment of a 12th century Icelandic lectionary. It’s somehow easier than my task yesterday (checking one name in a litany in Cotton Vitellius A VII in the British Library) though I think the cotton fire had a lot to do with that!

Even more excited for IMC Leeds this July now that the program has been published!

Now that the programme has been published, it’s a great opportunity to remind you of the 4 #medievalfragments sessions that we’ll hold at Leed’s IMC! #IMC2025

I (finally) finished my first large tapestry project! Now time to block it and acquire a cushion the right size to sew it on to…

Today is the feast of the translation of St Þorlákr, bishop of Skálholt 1178-1193.

AM 241 a II fol contains the rhymed office Þorlákstíðir (fol. 1v-2r pictured). The entire manuscript is digitised online: handrit.is/manuscript/vie…

I am delighted to be attending #IMC2025! I'll be moderating the panel I organised on Christian Practices in the Medieval North and presenting a paper on Árni Magnússon's fragmentation of Latin Liturgical Manuscripts.
November 29, 2024 at 5:31 PM
I identified this fragment (AM 241 III α fol) the other day! The ‘In Natalicio Sancti Olaui Regis et Martyris’ beginning with the (partial) response for the seventh lesson at first vespers. Best feeling ever!

A little life update: I’m delighted to have received a distinction in my MPhil and am very excited to be starting my PhD in ASNC in October, funded by the AHRC OOC-DTP and Trinity Hall!

I’ll be researching Latin Liturgical Manuscript Fragments in the collection of Árni Magnússon!

A little thread to introduce myself:

I’m Rhiannon (she/her) and I’m a postgraduate medievalist in the ASNC department at the University of Cambridge, researching Icelandic liturgical manuscript fragments in the Arnamagnaæn collection (AM 241 b I fol) and hopefully a future codicologist!
