Vor einigen Jahren hat die Politikerin Marina Weisband offengelegt, dass sie an ME/CFS erkrankt ist. Jeder öffentliche Auftritt gehe mit einer Woche Bettlägrigkeit einher, sagt sie im Interview mit NDR Kultur. „Bei den meisten Ärzten, bei denen ich war, musste ich erklären, was ME/CFS ist. Das …

@jasonwdean.com Hi! I'm not sure if I qualify, but I work with Rare Books and Special Collections a lot and I think some people may profit from finding me as part of your starter pack :)

The Clavis Historicorum Antiquitatis Posterioris has (apparently without notice) changed the URLs to its database without a redirect from the old URLs. The IDs are unchanged, so fixing this on #Wikidata was a non-issue (www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidat...)

Neues Projekt! Ab 1. Mai 2025 startet unser #Podcast #Wiederanders über Johannes R. Becher! Dieses Herzensprojekt ist dank der Begeisterung und Technikkompetenz meines Kollegen @bernhart.bsky.social Realität geworden! Die Homepage ist schon online: www.becher-podcast.de @unistuttgart.bsky.social

Another funny slip of the pen: Vienna, ÖNB, Theol. gr. 294. The scribe replaced Μυκήνη and Μυκήνας (Mycene) with μὴ κύνη and μὴ κύνας (no dogs).

What a way to start a review of a critical edition! I still struggle to properly translate the pithy title of Skutsch and Kroll (@wilhelmkroll.bsky.social)'s article "In Firmicum Sittelianum emendationum centuriae duae primae" into German or English properly. Suggestions?

Frisk wieder mal erfrischend forsch mit seinen Adjektiven:

And here is another 11th century example from Vienna, Austrian National Library, Theol. gr. 294 (Diktyon 71961, Rahlfs 9078), f. 32v. "Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

Two new occurrences of a book epigram have just been added to the Database of Byzantine Book epigrams: www.dbbe.ugent.be/occurrences/... www.dbbe.ugent.be/occurrences/...

First time I came across round brackets in a Greek ms. Oxford, Bodleian Library, Roe 4 (Diktyon 48387, Rahlfs 1125), f. 9v (16th century).

A slip of the pen can sometimes have funny implications. Like wenn ἐλέῳ θαρρεῖ ("he is strong in his mercy") becomes ἐλαίῳ θαρρεῖ ("he is strong in his olive tree").

Just came across this former Christian amusement park, the "Holy Land Experience", which had a "Scriptorium". Closed in 2020, demolished in 2023. They also had Greek manuscripts. Does anybody know what happened to those? Were they sold or housed somewhere else? pinakes.irht.cnrs.fr/notice/fonds...

Finally announced, the Online Coinage of Ostrogothic Italy: numismatics.org/coi/, a collaboration between IKMK Berlin (prepared the data) and the ANS (hosting). There are 720 coins linked to 120 types, excellent photographic coverage, mostly from Berlin and the BM #classicsbluesky

Mythoskop (mythoskop.de) is a database for Greek #mythology with a unique visual interface and powerful search functions. They have about 2080 data items, 1750 of which are matched with #Wikidata, and in 1042 of these data items, their German #Wikipedia articles now feature a link to Mythoskop.

“On the 8th of Tevet, the Torah was written into Greek, and darkness engulfed the world for three days.” (Megilat Ta‘anit Batra) To those who mourn the LXX... as well as to the scholars who celebrate it... may today be a meaningful one!

I had no idea this was a thing 😂 As a Septuagint scholar with a Jewish son, I feel conflicted ...

This has got to be the most universally applicable #Psalm adhortation: Ἔκκλινον ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ ποίησον ἀγαθὸν (Ps 36:27a) #lxx

Ever accidentally dotted the Iota in Greek? Don't worry, you're in good company:

"Myth Index" used to be a website about Greek #mythology, referenced by #Wikipedia. Sometime after 2020, it was apparently highjacked by somebody, and now offers 'casual hookups'. This strange turn is illustrated by the latest blogposts on the website (screenshot).

Ghost on the Shell (of a book). A 15th C. binding of a 9th C. codex preserves an impression of a 5th C. leaf from a Vetus Latina Bible, used as pastedown. You can even see the channel used for holding the binding cord and the holes for pegs. Fulda 100 Aa 11

I think "oderint, dum metuant" (let them hate me, as long as they fear me") would be a more suitable motto. It worked for Caligula.

καιρός (kairós), the moment (in time), or in a pregnant way 'just the right and opportune moment' (to do, encounter or receive something), and extrapolated from that 'desirable state of affairs', is one of my #favoritegreekwords

Manfred Clauss passed away a few days ago. (16 August 1945 – 20 January 2025) Another giant gone. Besides his various works on ancient religion and biographies, he will always be remembered for his invaluable contribution to the study of Latin Epigraphy. Sit tibi terra levis.

One of my favourite NT quotations: ὅπου δύο ἢ τρεῖς συνηγμένοι​ εἰσὶν εἰς τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα, ἐκεῖ εἰμι ἐν μέσω αὐτῶν. Wo zwei oder drei in meinem Namen versammelt sind, da bin ich mitten unter ihnen.

οὕτω γάρ ἠγάπησεν φησιν ὁ​ θ(εὸ)ς τὸν κόσμον, ὅτι τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ δέδωκεν​ ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται ἀλλ’ ἔχη ζωὴν αἰώνιον.
