Where are my palaeographers at? Anyone? #MedievalSky [This is from TNA, SC 1/30/121. The context is asking for updates from a co-envoy regarding Anglo-French negotiations.]

Just under one week remaining now to get your proposals in for our 2026 conference 'Folklore on the Move'! Proposal deadline: Sunday 14 December 2025

I’ve put together a list of funding sources for graduate students in biblical studies and early Christianity. Most of these are only available to students in the U.S. but many of them don’t have citizenship requirements. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

A party @ox.ac.uk on Thursday to celebrate the work of Ros Faith with a magnificent book edited by @hannah-boston.bsky.social & @richardpurkiss.bsky.social. Speakers emphasized her commitment to 'treating the peasantry as people with minds of their own'.

As a little treat for you, here's an #ArabicBible Advent calendar 🧵. Every day I'll post a verse from the Christmas story from one of the oldest Arabic Gospel lectionaries, Sinai ar. 72, dated 897 CE (and a few other texts in between). [2nd attempt, I won't be offended if you point out my nonsense.]

Yesterday's Dorothy Whitelock Lecture at St Peter's College, Oxford, given by Professor Jane Roberts (University of London): ‘Guthlac: what the early medieval records tell us’.

Amazing news! I was planning on sitting bleary-eyed in front of my computer for this one, but the three am start meant I was snoozing like this bloke 👇🏼

🌲1️⃣🎁 Medieval Irish charms When asked for an inaugural lecture as Professor of Old and Middle Irish at @maynoothuniversity.ie (2012), I was desperately looking for a suitable topic. But after some deliberation, I chose one that I had already worked on before, namely Old Irish healing charms. 📖
