Centuries ago, many astronomical books included moving parts to help readers interpret the world around them. This biscuit recreates a diagram from Sacrobosco’s ‘De Sphaera’ (c.1550). It could be used to calculate the changing length of daylight hours through the year. 🍪

Always a pleasure being back at Oxford 😍

A great thread about an astonishing naval battle! For me, the battle of Quiberon is also a perfect example of why we should reconsider how we think about naval battles and commanders. Let's face it: Hawke was lucky that his daring decision to follow the French worked out in his favour.

Room with a view.

On my way to Berlin to give a talk on 18th century naval battles as sound events at the German Society for Maritime and Naval History. Looking forward to it!

Great question and even greater answers. Personally, I can’t remember what exactly sparked my interest. Probably my history classes at school and some historic youth novels, mainly on 20th century German history.

It‘s here 🙏🏼🤓 the latest issue of Werkstatt Geschichte 90: violence (hi)stories. How do we talk about everyday violence? Heartfelt thanks to my fab coeditor @mouseemperor.bsky.social and @sarahvha.bsky.social. It started with a long discussion about a text…we definitely need an ongoing discussion!

Final spurt is coming.

Very much looking forward to talk about self-inflicted ship losses in c18th century naval actions at the Anticiper les pertes navales conference this week!

So, turns out that you can break your ribs if you cough hard enough…
