Excited that my article "Hanc te volo diligentiam adhibere. Late-Medieval Fragmentary Instructions on Housekeeping" came out in Fragmentology. It is a really fascinating document on housekeeping, not my expertise at all. Looking forward to reading your reactions #medievalsky doi.org/10.24446/dpf5

what the actual fuck? this is a genuine picture from somebody's camera. I think, honestly, it captures the psychic essence of my defence...

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.

The #CHR2025 proceedings are now freely available online! They include the paper that @sofiemoors.bsky.social and I wrote on applying Bayesian phylogenetics to the medieval Dutch Martijn Trilogy. You can check out our paper at doi.org/10.63744/vBR...!

It's not always easy... This #FragmentFriday is about an unidentified Latin text, B 255483:fragm.306. The text is difficult to read and overprinted with red ink - indicating that the original sheet of #parchment was used as a #Frisket sheet for printing a book in red and black ink.

Unnoticed fragment from a medieval martyrology in German! One full MS is preserved in Jena (hence Jenaer Martyrologium), two other fragments are known. This one has many variants in the German dialect. Specialists' comments welcome! fragmentarium.ms/overview/F-6... handschriftencensus.de/werke/181

On Monday, I will share a small discovery concerning the Jenaer Martyrologium with you. Do hope that the announcement will make some of you already curious! martyrologium.editionenportal.de/martyrologium

I've updated the record. The fun is that now the text under the paper pastedown becomes legible (the left column is the continuation of the Daniel passage with the column break op en|de). Also, those stubs are formed by folding the leaf over itself and glueing it, since r/v are the same columns.

I solved a nice puzzle this morning: unidentified Middle Dutch religious text on @fragmentarium.bsky.social (Antwerp, EHC, cf. @svanimpe.bsky.social ) turns out to be a lectionarium, comparable to the 1348 Lectionarium Amstelodamense (but with interesting variants). fragmentarium.ms/overview/F-8...

Wat een plezier was het om weer te kunnen starten met de colleges Literatuur en diversiteit, en dat voor een geheel gevulde aula. Nu tijd om na te genieten @uantwerpen.be

I'm excited to share that the paper I co-authored with @sofiemoors.bsky.social, "From a Computer-Assisted Stemma to a Phylogenetic Tree: The Medieval Dutch Martijn Trilogy by Jacob van Maerlant," has been accepted for the #CHR2025 conference! Thanks to the anonymous referees for their kind feedback!

The marks from over a thousand supposed nailheads in the Catholicon (Mainz "1460") recently discovered by Paul Needham were, in fact, left by sand grains that fell on inked type and were crushed by the platen into the type. Revised article on this analysis at: www.academia.edu/143660455/Th...

Unnoticed fragment from Jean de Joinville's Histoire de Saint Louis. According to the Jonas database @irht-cnrs.bsky.social (jonas.irht.cnrs.fr/consulter/oe...), there is only one extant medieval witness. More study needed! www5.kb.dk/manus/vmanus...

I have concluded that the supposed "nailheads" in the Catholicon (Mainz “1460”) that are as tiny as grains of sand are in fact ... grains of sand.
