Birthday double whammy: yesterday, the first physical copies of the 'Netzwerke der Nonnen' dropped - appropriately Kloster Lüne was the first to get their hands on them; and the special issue #middleages of @spiegel.de GESCHICHTE was published archive.is/202505161352...

Actually the reading starts with drinks at 6pm! I managed to confuse myself further by also putting in the dress rehearsal time into the medieval calendar. So come after your 5pm commitments and enjoy a drink in the Old Library before heading down to the Crypt

it was fun! And we had gorgeous weather to show off the views over the dreaming spires on the one side & the industrial heritage of East Oxford on the other side. Here's to more!

I just joined the Swiss initiative 'savoir public' to make academic knowledge accessible by gathering a pool of experts to answer questions savoirpublic.ch/experts/henr... - they are looking for more scholars to widen their area of expertise. Co-founded by a student of my predecessor Nigel Palmer!
