Erstaunlicherweise erscheinen diese Bücher alle in sehr großen deutschen Verlagen und ihre Autor·innen werden von Talkshow zu Talkshow gereicht, um von ihren unterdrückten Meinungen zu erzählen. Ev. sollte diesesPhänomen einen Namen kriegen: Precht-Paradox?

The first (1955) Danish edition of Ray Bradbury’s FAHRENHEIT 451. Later editions did not convert the title, so this is the only SI-compatible edition! 🎢

Huh, the Blood! Legend has it, that in the 1380s, three bleeding hosts were discovered in Wilsnack in Brandenburg, which quickly became one of Northern Europe's most famous pilgrim’s destinations. The little village built an oversized church, which even today impresses by its sheer size. (1/3)

Fellow academics, I'm doing it. Going all in. Pulling the plug, literally. This is on my syllabus for Spring 2026: "This is an analog class. No Canvas; this syllabus is your guide." All readings are printed books; hand-written exams; no laptops. #academicbluesky #Highered #academia #Rutgers

Wow. Harvard nuking its PhD programs - Science PhD admissions reduced by more than 75% - Arts & Humanities reduced by about 60% - Social Sciences by 50–70% - History by 60% - Biology by 75% - The German department will lose all PhD seats - Sociology from six PhD students to zero

Those philosophical discussions with Silvain from Lorient, the drinks with Francesca from Gorizia, the dance with Ana from Cádiz and marching with Dáibhí at the St. Patrick's parade - can this Erasmus year at @historyatgalway.bsky.social really be 23 years ago? Thank you, Sofia Corradi!

Proseminaristen geisteswissenschaftlicher Fächer nach dem ersten Referat.

Excited to read this new book by Martha Howell!

I was asked recently what the “big debates” are in ancient naval studies, the maritime equivalent of the hoplite debate. Three stand out clearly. Here is a short summary of some!

Interesting conference feat. @katrinkleemann.bsky.social, @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social and many brilliant minds

Leuke lezing van Dick Harrison over de Hanze. Een geboren verteller die man

Thanks to @urbanhistory.bsky.social! The article is about brewing in England, c. 1600, showing that breweries in Shakespeare's London operated at scales that looked impressive even by mid-18th century standards. An example of the gradual, long Industrial Revolution, from the 16th century onwards.

I have discovered that women are more than capable of undertaking any task which requires physical strength or of learning any discipline which requires discernment and intelligence. Books which say otherwise were definitely not written by women. - Christine de Pizan, b. 1365

Die hiesige Landesgeschichte hat derart einen Narren an Heinrich Rantzau gefressen, dass man den nur wenig älteren Herzog Adolf I. fast ignoriert hat - dabei ist er der wohl spannendste Fürst des Landes. Im Januar naht sein 500. Geburtstag. Zeit also, sich ihm nun einmal zu widmen! 💅

Wisdom, moral imagination, an enlarged sympathy for those who live or have lived differently from yourself. This is what you get from studying the Humanities. So quite important, actually.

Spannender Ansatz: "Sicherheit erzeugen als Legitimierungsstrategie des Avignoneser Papsttums (1309 – 1377)"

#OTD the Battle of Lepanto (1571) took place, one of the most decisive and symbolic naval battles in European history. It was fought between the Holy League (a coalition of Christian states) and the Ottoman Empire, and it involved an extraordinary cast of historical figures.

One of the most painful and interesting things about writing is just how much you need to read, see and consider, that you will not include in the end. But you cannot write what you are writing unless you have thought about it.

Saint Catherine prays, an angel w a sword appears, the wheel bursts into flames, and landscape is beautiful. Because it was painted in 1515 by Joachim Patinir, master of landscape, who died OTD in 1524.

October 5: Apologies for the bad news, but today is one of the 3 unluckiest days of the year in the Roman calendar. Definitely let people know that the underworld opens up to the living today (mundus patet) and so you just can’t leave your house, especially to sail (also on August 24 & November 8).
