The Ukraine issue of The Historian just arrived (@histassoc.bsky.social), guest edited by Markian Prokopovych (@durhamhistory.bsky.social) with Jenni Hyde (@wallyberry.bsky.social); and I had fun interviewing Ulinka Rublack about Albrecht Dürer 🇺🇦🧑‍🎤✍️📖

This brilliant book is just out by Alain Noël, the great expert in the EM archives of the Yonne – through Louise de Clermont, her family and lands, it's a super-detailed piece of gender and environmental history 👸🌳🏰🧑‍🌾

Pierre de Lancre has arrived in Durham – excited to read the final version @janmachielsen.bsky.social!

Enjoyed reading Jonas Roelens, *Citizens and Sodomites* for a review: a carefully judged analysis of surely the largest corpus of sodomy trials in premodern northern Europe, and going straight onto my early modern crime history reading list...

Never a dull day in the notary cabinet of René Contesse on the rue Saint-Germain in Paris, early 1569 (AN MC ET LIV 174)
