Will you be joining us for the second @londonmedievalsoc.bsky.social colloquium of the year? Don't miss out #Medievalsky! Registration is free: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Second linocut comes from the tomb of Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick (d. 1439) at St Mary’s Church, Warwick. I was struck by the bear emblem for the Earl of Warwickshire. This tomb was an essential visual source for the special subject I taught on - 'Joan of Arc and her Age:1419-31'.

“If you’re not going to put the clothes away, then the basket is fair game”

Latest crafting obsession: Linocutting! First piece was inspired by a watermark in the fifteenth-century accounts from King's Hall, Cambridge, housed @trincolllibcam.bsky.social. I was looking for female employees and tenants for an article but became a little obsessed with the various watermarks.

Two weeks left until the LMS Winter Colloquium! 🍾😊 Make sure to register via the zoom link below. Looking forward to seeing many of you there! #medievalsky #skystorians #histsky #academicsky

One month left to submit your abstracts for Fissures: Gender and Political Crisis, @pembroke1347.bsky.social (17–18 Sept 2026). See the full #CFP below. #Fissures2026 #medievalsky #skystorians #medieval #GenderHistory #PoliticalHistory

Oh wow! This is what happens when you're photographing MSS & don't capture the text in the inner gutter. 1st, here's the photograph (made about 100 yrs ago) of the Codex Salernitanus, f. 82ra. Although that big tear of the page is obvious, the inner gutter hasn't been fully captured in the photo.

There’s still time to register! 👇🏻 #medievalsky

I had the best time speaking @bristolcms.bsky.social last week! The loveliest and warmest community, thank you so much for having me. And what a full-circle moment to be introduced by Ian Wei, who I heard speak at UCL when I first started studying medieval universities!

#MedievalSky #EarlyModernists you may not be aware that I offer several services: transcription (no hand too tricky), archival visits and more. I’m happiest in the period 1200-1700 but will consider anything. Get in touch via my website! joanneedge.co.uk/freelance-wo...

The book "Stranieri. Itinerari di vita studentesca tra XIII e XVIII secolo", which I edited for the anniversary of the establishment of the University of #Padova, is finally available in #openaccess. you can find it here: www.padovauniversitypress.it/it/publicati... #HistoryOfUniversities #HighEd

We can't wait to hear all about this! 😀

Heading to one of my fave cities and unis to talk about one of my fave topics: women employed in university colleges! It will feature some new material from Cambridge and King’s College’s cute account books 👀

Happy Gilmore-Girls-watching season to all who celebrate 🎉

A hard day at the office:

Spot the little dog flying with a massive stick…

The many sleeping positions of Muffy Moo, ft the final look of “I’ve made mistakes”. (Yes, the donut is back, this dog’s spay recovery has been a never-ending saga)

I was a mature student who came back to learning via Continuing Education. These courses are precious and must be protected. Please sign.

I've got a new website! Thanks to Man Kit Lam for design, and @knifewitch.bsky.social and @soranasantos.bsky.social for photos and encouragement! #MedievalSky #EarlyModern joanneedge.co.uk

Slinky returns to the local Facebook group. This cat has too much audacity..

New job, same assistant

Started my new job today and as part of the intro we had to share the most unusual food we had eaten. Of course, mine was the weird nun sweets we had in Seville. Our faces sum it up:

A present for a friend: illuminated initial of us having a bath based on BnF Français 12323, f. 77r. Yes, there is gold foil all over the house now.

Walked up the stairs to King’s College archives multiple times this week… how did I only just notice the dog with the massive dick and balls? Looks like they’ve either been restored or were added later, which is a choice in itself.

On the final day in the archive, I thought I’d share all the different shapes and sizes of medieval college account records. The skinny books from King’s are cute but Peterhouse’s rolls were a joy to use 📜

The horses in the stables of King’s College in the 1450s would have wanted me to be listening to ‘Pink Pony Club’ whilst reading about them. Guys, you would have loved Chappell Roan 🐴

First archive of the day: King’s College. Always nice to be looking for laundresses with a pretty view.
