Just found out about this amazing example of #manuscript #recycling . The whole manuscript is made up from the margins of an earlier liturgical manuscript, cut out and rearranged (hence the unusual format), the (mostly) blank margins then used to copy various magical texts in the mid 16th century.

The Special Issue of the Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies, Orosius Through the Ages, is out!! Co-edited with Elisabeth Manzo & Cameron Wachowich, on the boil since 2019, we're so pleased with the final output. Both Dr M. & Dr W. have completed their PhDs since then too!

Happy to report that our book 'Local Priests in the Latin West, 900-1050' has been published! It is Open Access, so you can read (or download) it here: doi.org/10.1017/9781...

Five years, four authors, one book. Out now (fully open access), our new book on local priests in the tenth century 🌟 www.cambridge.org/core/books/l... @jbwaagmeester.bsky.social

New book on early medieval medicine coming down the line: boydellandbrewer.com/book/early-m...

Need cheering up on a gloomy October afternoon? The new issue of Early Medieval Europe is out! Articles on justice in Bavaria, tolls in Italy, women in 10th-c. Rome, Carolingian kingship, and child slavery: mostly available Open Access 😎https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14680254/2025/33/4

And now for something completely different: the Text Object Research Network at the Radboud Institute for Culture and History had its first date with a manuscript of the academic year. I found myself reading a 17th c. letter by famous Dutch historian/poet/playwright P.C. Hooft. Not my usual fare!

Another (quite exciting looking!) book from Tübingen!!

Tijd om integriteit en eerbied voor de wet te tonen, @eppobruins.bsky.social. De bezuinigingen zijn onwetmatig, economisch dom (want ze kosten geld ipv het op te leveren) en ze komen voort uit ideologische wraak. Grow a pair. #WOinActie. www.volkskrant.nl/politiek/oud...

Eppo Bruins wil in de voorhoede blijven van landen waar wetenschappers voor kiezen. Daarom (checks notes): - heftige bezuinigingen - de-internationalisering (ten koste van studenten uit NL) - morele steun voor beurzen voor wetenschappers VS, te betalen via bezuinigingen op andere onderzoeksbeurzen

A shame that Eppo Bruins’ disastrous budget cuts to higher education are disproportionally hitting the exact disciplines that study this “irreplaceable heritage”.

lees het hele draadje. Helaas worden burgers die op rechtse partijen stemmen die zeggen op te komen voor de gewone man om de tuin geleid: ook deze coalitie vermindert belastingen voor de rijksten, en snijdt fors in de bronnen van welvaart voor iedereen (zoals onderwijs). #vermogensongelijkheid
