This is basically the range of the emotions that you experience if you catch a train from Cologne to Berlin. You will live all of this in the space of four hours.

Been meaning to post this for a while but, as some of you already know, I heard in May that I was successful in applying for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship from the Gerda Henkel Stiftung. After what had been a very difficult year, I am enormously grateful to the Stiftung for their support

I’m not saying this is a cover up for Otto I coming back from the dead. I’m just saying that if the Holy Lance in Vienna goes missing we’ll know why.

The phrase we used was a favourite one of Matthew Paris as Björn had examined in some detail. We hope he would have found it fitting.

Your 'pro-growth' government deliberately designing policy to put off international students from studying in the UK.
As usual these days when Labour announces a new white paper, I am reminded of that Malcolm Tucker line.
'Think the unthinkable?! You can't even cope with thinking the thinkable!'

There is something bordering on abusive in the way ministers today are talking about public services – Jacqui Smith on universities, and Yvette Cooper on care homes.
They are blaming institutions for decisions forced on them by government, without admitting they or changing anything.

There are plenty of proposals out there for a system which could secure broad consent, based on the country's needs and vulnerabilities on the one hand and the dignity of immigrants on the other. A government with a big majority, four years out from an election, could pursue that kind of plan.

Today marks 80 years since the end of the Second World War in Europe. Earlier this year at the GHIL, Lucy Noakes (@universityofessex.bsky.social / @royalhistsoc.org) and Frank Trentmann (@bbkhistorical.bsky.social) reflected on how the war has fundamentally shaped Germany and Britain after 1945.

I don't suppose any kind colleagues happen to have access to a pdf of Mainzer Urkundenbuch. Bd. 2: Die Urkunden seit dem Tode Erzbischof Adalberts I. (1137) bis zum Tode Erzbischof Konrads (1200)? The first volume is online but alas not the second (as far as I can tell)

Would I be right in thinking that the new dmgh doesn't have OCRed copies of the texts available (a useful feature of the old system)? Can OCR texts myself but would be grateful if anyone knows if the old html texts are available somehow...
