Next week, I will be discussing the #scholastic culture of #15th century #mastersofarms at the Universite de Lausanne. In addition to the pleasure of sharing this research, the workshop programme is wonderful. Many thanks to Joël Chandelier for organizing and inviting me!

For its sixth edition, the CELACAMTHE of #Annecy is organising its yearly Historical European Martial Arts event. It will take place on 14 and 15 February. Proposals for workshops and conferences can be submitted until 1 December 2025. More information at escrime-annecy.com/marquisattac... #HEMA

In 58 days (if I've counted correctly)... Many thanks to @cleliacrialesi.bsky.social and Aurélien Robert for organizing this beautiful conference on "Quantification in context". I am honoured (and impressed) to participate with a talk on #latemedieval and #earlymodern #fightbooks

The joy of receiving your author's copy in the mail 🤩

Last week, I took part in a summer school on the topic #image in the 17th century as a member of the scientific committee. Here are a few pictures from a visit to the @inha.fr and the #BNF département des estampes. Many thanks to the staff for their work and hospitality universite17.hypotheses.org

A whole volume in OA on the #image during the #seventeenthcentury. I contributed to the volume by writing an article on #diagrams in the #scholastic textbooks #earlymodern

In a month's time there will be a one-day IHRIM/NOTCOM workshop in Lyon on #Cartesianism and the #historyofideas. I will be discussing #Descartes on #fencing and also, as the background of the poster suggests, Descartes' opinion of #GirardThibault d'Anvers (spoiler: he doesn't like it)

Last weekend I gave a workshop on Angelo Viggiani's #fencing treatise in the Challenge Athéna, magnificently organised by the Compagnie d'Armes de Lyon: a two days event for #women in #HEMA, with workshops and a small tournament. It was great and we need more of this.

While #Descartes' biographers try to sweep the swords under the carpet, #Mersenne takes fencing very seriously. I'll give a talk on "Descartes Escrimeur" this next Tuesday at the Moment Cartésien.

This is amazing! Many many thanks to @cleliacrialesi.bsky.social without whom I'd have missed the info completely. #historicalfencing #sword #historyofideas

Looking forward to attending John Marenbon's lecture on the Social #HistoryofLogic tomorrow

The French National Institute of Art History #INHA is organising a summer school on the concept of the image in the 17th century (10-11 July 2025). CfP on grham.hypotheses.org/15242

Last week I had the opportunity to discuss my research with the Geneva research team on adult education. Thanks to all of them for the valuable questions and comments on the experimental methodology! Last but not least it took place in the beautiful setting of Villa Boninchi

Ready to celebrate the #WorldLogicDay by writing a note on the caput diabolicum in scholastic logic textbooks.
