Term has started and a quiet has settled on the library and the river. Don't forget to take a break and look out of the window. It's too beautiful to miss.

Today is the feast of Eormenhild, d. ca. 700/703, Kentish saint who was queen of Mercia and later abbess of Ely. She's hardly documented in the early period but shows up in Kentish genealogies, and her life appears in one of the Liber Eliensis MSS, Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.2.1, f.228r. 🧵

You may have read it before on this account: #earlymodern Europe was a paper age. Let's focus, once more if you fancy, on the paper usages of a period that mastered so many communication flows on paper.

LAST CHRISTMAS Ich gave thee my hearte

Wyth sinews of whispers - quiet as frost -
And the wolf stole my hearte, fled
To a tower out of tyme
biyonde all the stars.
SEEKE NOW my hearte,
Return it within a yeare and a daye:
Thys ys thy queste!

Saddened to see this as someone who walked the Camino as a solo woman at 21 who (very luckily) faced none of these horrors. And very very angered that so many have.

This is a fascinating study. But when you find a Lidar survey of a region, process it with archaeological techniques, and locate an archaeological site, that’s not “an accident”. That’s “an on purpose”. 🗃️

A great summary of last week’s Now You See It, Now you Don’t: Sustainable Access in a Digital Age. Definitely worth a read:
So far: Stewart Brookes citing the Bodleian's GitHub manuscript catalogues as an example of a LOCKSS-style alternative in case library sites go down, and @etreharne.bsky.social making the point that restricting image downloads makes it harder for scholars to maintain their own archives of images.
