Finally I have my own copy from the book, which was so inspiring for me. #earlymodern

My new book“The Court of Chameleons” has been published this summer. It explores the transformation of Holy See–Habsburg diplomatic relations during the papacy of Innocent XII (1691–1700) and the liberation of Hungary from the Ottoman rule – for now, only in Hungarian. #earlymodern

Today is a tragic day for #Hungary: we have reached the level of Putin’s Russia. We are now witnessing the death of a dream — the betrayal of a democratic legacy born in 1956 and fulfilled in 1990.

New Series on the Study of Early Modern Christianity in Central Europe published at De Gruyter and REFORC. First volume will be the book of Ulrich Wien on the beginnings of the Reformation in Transylvania.

New post: The resignation of Howard Louthan from the Center for Austrian Studies at the University of Minnesota. The provost had a 2022 statement about the invasion of Ukraine taken down, and suggested instead that the center offer "differing views" on Ukraine. Full resignation letter attached.

One of the highlights from my first trip to Belgium: Brugge and the tombs of Charles the Bold and his daughter, Mary of Burgundy.

Excited to see that Voices of Thunder is available for pre-order in the US on the University of Chicago Press website! 🌟 #earlymodern

Academia.edu increased its annual renewal fee from 125$ to 299$. What the hack?! #academia

So it begins, or continues. After 32 years, the Department of Germanistic at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University in Hungary has ceased to exist… #university #academia #humanities

Was there ever an #EarlyModern TikTok? If so, any of those exiles can rebuild via three starter packs here. I think Facebook did have some functioning earlymodern groups, and exiles equally welcome... 📜 go.bsky.app/VQeQbbF 📜 go.bsky.app/NQqDFr1 📜 go.bsky.app/K2gp9GK

The Prize Papers contain hundreds of letters that are still sealed. Marc Vermeulen, Head of Heritage Science at The National Archives, explains in the new episode how they were recently able to reconstruct hidden text in these letters – without even opening them! #earlymodern 🗃️ pod.link/1460242815

Simply unbelievable :(

No money, no university

Ágnes Keleti, the world's oldest living Olympic champion, #Holocaust survivor and a magical person, has died at the age of 104. In 1952 (Helsinki) and 1956 (Melbourne) she won 5 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze medals in #gymnastics for #Hungary. May her memory be blessed!

Ooh, highly appropriate for the first day of the year... A new article by Erika Kuijpers, @judithpollmann.bsky.social et al. on more than 200 local chroniclers. Who were these people recording the passing of the years? #EarlyModern #OpenAccess 🗃️: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Merry Christmas with Krtek, my childhood Czechoslovak hero mole!

Sometimes working with manuscripts gets us really, really close to the people from the past allowing us to hear their voices. This is a story of a letter from a schoolgirl to her teacher, written probably sometime at the end of the 9th or the beginning of the 10th century. A thread 🧵 #medievalsky /1

It was not easy to carve the tree into the hol der, but it’s finally done.

The General Assembly of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences voted under pressure to sell its real assets to the Hungarian state, and it will be given to the Hungarian Research Network, that was formed from the institutes, which were tore from the Academy by the gov in 2019. #academia

For @engelsbergideas.bsky.social, I reviewed Tim Blanning's excellent new biography of the virile elector of Saxony and king of Poland-Lithuania, Augustus 'the Strong'. A ruler whose talents were better suited to the art of court life than great power politics. engelsbergideas.com/reviews/the-...

Love Mary of Hungary's equestrian portrait from 1567. Available to the public at the exhibition on her cousin Margaret of Parma at Oudenaarde. #EarlyModern #Habsburg. She looks like a chill grandmother.

While I am sad to read the news from the English&Dutch universities, here in the "east end" it is all "fun and laughter" - ironically, of course. 5 yrs aft its separation from the Academy, the Hungarian research network is facing another severe transformation. #academia

Just received the message from our Publisher Aschendorff that our anthology about "The Diplomatic Self in Early Modern Times" is now available Open Access. For all #skystorians interested in #earlymodern diplomacy and questions of self-fashioning, have a look here: doi.org/10.17438/978...

Intrigued by the People’s Bookshelf at the National Library of Latvia. Each book in the collection has been donated by a member of the public and is inscribed by its former owner, telling a personal story relating to the book.

Coming 23 January, pre-orders are now live! I'll post some sneaky previews once I've got them, but many details are already available on the OUP page (if not yet our snazzy cover, which I must therefore gratuitously re-share here). So excited about this project! 😊 global.oup.com/academic/pro...
