It seems to have an uncommon feature: bifolium signatures in Hebrew, starting from the last quire. Is that correct what I read? Has someone ever found something similar in other Latin mss? Below some photos starting with the second last quire up to the first quire 2/2

Someone who can help me with this annotation? It opens a Medieval manuscript containing a Latin translation from Arabic (the marginalia was written when the binding was restored). Many thanks!

Unfortunately, I couldn't fly to Boston this year, but don't miss the panels I organized with David M. Reher and Marcus Keller at #RenSa25! If you're curious to learn more about the Ottoman idea of Europe and the European historical imaginary of the Ottoman Empire, join our panels this Saturday!

Hi #skystorians, happy to see new faces! I’m an intellectual historian and early modernist, working on trans-regional and cross-linguistic exchange in the Mediterranean region. Love to know more about your research! This is one of the authors I’m working on, G. Postel (also studying Judah Abarbanel)

On my way to Frankfurt for the EMoDiR workshop “Rethinking religious otherness” where I’ll discuss Postel’s perception of Islam and Islamic radical sects. Happy to share my ideas with this cohort of scholars and listen to other research. You might join us on Zoom!

Unexpected exhibition at the MET Museum on Manet and Degas, their friendship and rivalry. Surprised by their works reproducing and renewing Renaissance art
