Aagje and Betje are not entirely impressed... (yet!)

Came home from traveling and found this in my post!!

What a strange feeling to finally have the actual published book in my hands. 🤯

Perfect preparation for our session about virtual reality and the Middle Ages at Leeds next week! ✨

Come listen to @lenaciochon.bsky.social, @blairapgar.bsky.social and Daniel Jaquet about virtuality, technology and the Middle Ages.

Dear medievalist and library Bluesky ☀️

Can someone help me get a good quality photo or scan of the photographic facsimile of the Utrecht Psalter, specifically fol. 1v, published in 1875 by Spencer, Sawyer, Bird&Co?

(this is for my upcoming book 🙈)

Look for me under 'virtual reality' or 'digital medievalist'! 📖

Look what I found on my desk this morning! ✨

Find my contribution about medieval TikTok on page 133. The e-book will be out at the end of the month!

Another eclipse??? 🌞

I know I'm late to the party, but this diagram of a total eclipse I came across yesterday is just so beautiful. And look at that explicit!

Modelling the manuscript in VisColl on the basis of collation model and with the manuscript and its digital images next to me.

It's bringing up ideas about levels of abstraction and virtuality 📖

Today was my first day as visiting research fellow at the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies at @Penn. And what a day to start!

It was very cloudy but spotted the eclipse briefly. The one in this 16th century book looks more impressive, but the real one was also v cool!

Why aren't men real men any more? You know, the masculine sword-wielding men of the Middle Ages? *sigh*

(Armorial équestre de la Toison d'or, between 1429-1461, Biblitheque National de France Arsenal 4790, fol. 47v)

Looking through the ICMS programme and found this passage.

Is this a thing?? Are fitted sheets not normal in the US? 😐

What other bedding-related or other culture shock can I expect? Inform me, my American friends!! 🇺🇸

Medieval historians, am I correct in noticing a trend that many of you love to use a-historical images in your powerpoints?

That is, images that are not medieval. Often 19th century.

Interesting to think about the little trends within different discourses in the way we present our work 🔎

Playing around in VisColl today because

(exciting anouncement!!) I'm heading to Philadelphia next year to work with @leoba.bsky.social and team to study VisColl as digital tool for manuscript research as SIMS visiting research fellow 🌱

I'm writing about KA16 (Der naturen bloeme) again, with the Wikimedia Commons list open in my browser, and this little guy keeps greeting me when I open my laptop 🙂

just chilling, you know? Nothing on his mind, just rock

(Spongia, Der naturen Bloeme, KB, KA16, fol. 120r)

This Halloween costume celebrates the creepiest saint of all!

St Bartholomew was flayed alive and wears his own skin as a cloak. Silence of the Lambs, who?
