El romànic apareix on menys t'ho esperes 😮. Acompanya'm a visitar la Col·lecció Casacuberta Marsans, al carrer de la Palla número 21 de Barcelona. 📹 Si arribes al final del vídeo veuràs com el romànic català i el barroc del Segle d'Or es troben gràcies al cubisme. Increïble però cert!

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

A year ago, my friend Alexandra Bellow died: a Romanian mathematician, former wife of Saul Bellow, and an extraordinary woman who was in love with Don Quixote until her very last day. I wrote this small tribute in the days just after her death. www.guernicamag.com/three-pages-...

Isaac Asimov, writing in 1957, was strangely prescient about the debates regarding the impact of AI on intellectual work.

I’ve always disliked large conferences bc they’re overwhelming. But I go for a number of reasons including my favorite: moments like this one where I found myself w a beloved colleague poring over the Medieval Academy Fellows’ book & squealing w delight as we got to the page w Panofsky’s signature.

A couple of photos from the 101st Meeting of the MAA. It's been an amazing experience of teamwork that has lasted for months. Kudos to all! My special thanks go to Jen Adams for her leadership and to Jesús Rodríguez Velasco for an outstanding plenary and dedication during the event.

In honor of the Medieval Academy of America's conference here, UMass's Special Collections & University Archives has mounted an exhibition, co-curated by Abby Klug & Genny Dorgan (I helped a little), and featuring some of the wonderful work done by students in my manuscripts seminar last year!

I'm very grateful to Emily C. Francomano, Sol Miguel-Prendes, and @albertlloret.bsky.social for their thoughtful responses to _Alone Together_ in the latest issue of La corónica. It's hard to express the feeling of being read with such sensitivity and critical acumen. I learned a lot about my book!

It was a long-simmering and deepening dismay with what this post describes that motivated me and @cnygren.bsky.social to propose this as one of our four frictions. www.publicbooks.org/four-frictio...

Pésimo título, que no os distraiga. Un poco escrito a lo Isabel Gómez Melenchón. www.lavanguardia.com/vida/2026021...

I see that it just appeared in Spanish. But the English version is very much true to their podcast: 21st-Century Baroque prose full of sassy pop twists.

"In this essay I will" - spoilers - over-confident - rigid, boring "In this essay I *might*" - creates suspense - nonchalant - adventurous, fun

We are now accepting submissions for volume 8 (2026).

As 2025 draws to a close, let’s take a look at the research Translat Library has published over the past year. 👇👇👇

The Catalan word ‘metzina’ means “poison”. It stems from the same Latin word as ‘medicina’, meaning “medicine”. ‘Metzina’ was inherited from spoken Latin, while ‘medicina’ is a late borrowing from written Latin. Pairs like this are called doublets. Episode 7 of my series: Catalan. Next: Galician.
