My review of Patrick Gleeson's tremendous book 'Landscapes of Kingship in Early Medieval Ireland AD 400-1150' (IrishTimes 23/08/25). Very hard to do it proper justice in 800 words, but already it has led me to redesign my medieval Irish lecture modules @historyatgalway.bsky.social #medievalireland.

Michael Clarke & Peter Kelly have a new article in the American Journal of Philology on the meaning of the adjective λειριόεις ('lilied'), which is first attested in the Iliad and Hesiod's Theogony. @campsgalway.bsky.social @unigalwayschoolllc.bsky.social

Jacopo Bisagni's new article on the Sun’s night journey and its cosmic battle with a tide-making sea monster (sometimes called Leviathan) has just been published in JML. This narrative is found in De cursu solis in nocte, a text which Jacopo discovered in the ninth-century manuscript Laon MS 422.

Congratulations to Jacopo Bisagni and Paula Harrison on the release of their new monograph on Laon, B.M., MS 422 written in collaboration with Isabelle Draelants @cnrs.fr. This comprehensive study focusses on the scientific, cosmological, and computational content of this manuscript from ca 815.
