CFP: Ecosystems of the Mind: Resources for Reconstructing Early Modern Intellectual Life || 21–23 May 2026 || Hamburg, DE Please spread broadly! Feel free to reach out with questions.

Hello #renaissance #reformation & #earlymodern historians: I'm really trying to rev up my Ren&Ref course this syllabus time: any inspiring/successful monographs, sources, websites that you could recommend? Melchior Lorck, Satire on the Papacy @metmuseum.org. Thanks!

A nice marketing ploy to sell #GreekBooks: indicate that it includes a commentary by P. Melanchthon. This book was published at least 13 times (1560-1594), but the commentary just once (1560)...Not to mention that not even the translation was Melanchthon's ... #BookHistory #EarlyModern #Skystorians

After a morning full of rich and thought-provoking discussions, we’re thrilled to welcome Bruce Gordon for today’s keynote lecture: 🏛️ Chrysostom in Reformation England A fascinating journey into the reception of early Christianity in Reformation thought. #ReformationStudies #GrECI

👉 Join the discussion as we explore how Greek references influenced Reformation debates. ✅ Open to all — whether you're attending in person or tuning in online! 📜 Full programme & connection details here: actu.univ-fcomte.fr/article/grec... @ucy1.bsky.social @uio.no @nconstantinidou.bsky.social

It's officially out! As of Friday, my book is available to purchase and exists in the world. What a long and wonderful ride this has been and I'm thankful for all the support I've received along the way! link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Excited to share my new article in JHI! It's a deep dive into how Lefèvre d'Étaples didn’t just adopt a humanist Latin rendering of Ps.-Dionysius—but rewrote it in dialogue with medieval translators. Thanks to Paolo Sachet for putting together an amazing special issue! muse.jhu.edu/article/959039

📣 New open access publication on early modern student notes, in which Leuven features quite prominently, as it has a long tradition of research in this source type (e.g. Magister Dixit, DaLeT). An extra surplus is that it has appeared in the year of KU Leuven's sexcentenary.

Another few steps on the road to publication: delighted my forthcoming book has its cover, and some very generous blurbs. #EarlyModern

Had to explain off the cuff and in German the differences between Lutheran and Reformed teaching on the Lord's Supper to my undergrads today . . . there were small misrepresentations on both sides but we all came out okay #reformazing

Crowdsourcing for my course this Wintersemester! Plz share. I'm teaching a seminar on the (re)formation of community and identity in early modernity: why, how, and with what consequences did both minorities and majorities refashion their self-image and social organization? (1/4)

Recently realized that (more than) enough time has passed, so I have uploaded my article in Journal of the History of Ideas (2022) to my Academia page. I intended it to be a teaser to my dissertation, which then went in a fairly different direction—but I'm still eager to hear what people think!

Watch this space if that piques your interest, or if you work on source genres such as academic print, annotated books, student notes, or Stammbücher! I’m excited to start sharing and to collaborate. (4/4)

The goals are a) to get a granular view of how humanism and Protestantism integrated w/ and shaped each other and b) to narrate the development of confessional intellectual culture via Wissensgeschichte, apart from dogmatic/polemical labels. (3/4)

w/ working title "Melanchthonian Discourse: Reconstructing the Intellectual Ecosystem of Mid-16C Wittenberg." The focus is knowledge production/transfer at Wittenberg + other northern German universities, grounded c. 1550s but w/ narrative lines across the next century. (2/4)

Big update no. 2: I have taken up a three-year postdoc at the University of Hamburg @uni-hamburg.de, under the auspices of Germany’s state/federal Excellence Strategy! (More about that here: www.uni-hamburg.de/en/exzellenz... ) Alongside diss->book revision, I’ll be starting on my second project,

as well as the many institutions and scholars that have supported and encouraged my research over the years. Above all, I am grateful to my family. (3/3)

I’m tremendously grateful to my wonderful advisor Brad Gregory, my stellar committee (Robert Goulding, Dan Hobbins, Denis Robichaud, and Evan Ragland), (2/3)

First big update: it was a mad rush to the finish, but I submitted my dissertation on June 5 and successfully defended on June 26! (1/3)

After months of transition, I’m finally getting around to updating my web presence, and that includes making a profile on this platform! Please follow and stay tuned for several updates in the next few days.
