Many men speken of Robyn Hood and shotte nevere in his bowe. Je vais continuer à m'entraîner avant de rejoindre les Joyeux Compagnons !
Finally found a place! It might be time to move to a bigger flat. 🤔
I just finished building this monster. Now, where the hell am I supposed to put it??? I blame passed Jonathan, frankly. He's an idiot.
If you're attending #NCS2026, come join @hellomizk.bsky.social for her scribal shenanigans! Add your voice to her adaptation of The House of Fame. I added a chicken, obviously. #medievalsky
Moi, à ce stade des vacances scolaires avec ked enfants à la maison.
One day, I'll have a big dog like that and I'll call him Brioche. And also, a hen house that looks like a flying saucer. I have very specific dreams.
Still working on my #HDR, so I'm going through some of my books and just realized I have John Fowles' copy of Rymes of Robyn Hood - along with a newspaper article about it from July 1976! #medievalsky
I was recently interviewed for another French documentary on Robin Hood. Did I mention that we shot the thing during the worst part of the heatwave in Paris? The camera started overheating when we reached 45°C in the room. Remind me again why wo things like that? #medievalsky
Je trouve cette tribune particulièrement malaisante et cette volonté de mettre Patrick Boucheron au pilori d'une absurdité sans nom... Céline Masson et les signataires, je vous laisse parler tout seul. D'autant plus sur Marianne. #ESR
I'm ready of NCS 2026! I hope to see many of you in Freiburg - and more specifically in the conference room for session 11E "Medieval Narrative, Then and Now II". 🧐 #medievalsky
Another day, another book! This time, it's volume 3 of my bilingual Chaucer (@classiquesgarnier.bsky.social). With much gratitude to @realmandeville.bsky.social and Rosemarie McGerr. #medievalsky
Just sent to the publisher! More exciting details soon. Poke @bretonjustine.bsky.social, @dgb-mem.bsky.social. #medievalsky
I have a job interview at the Sorbone this morning. Feels like tap dancing on a landmine!
Seen on Facebook. Too good not to share here as well! #medievalsky
Bon d'accord, j'ai participé au financement participatif @notabenemovies.bsky.social d'un bouquin auquel j'ai contribué. Mais c'est pour ma mère, hein !
Today is our first anniversary. I can't belive it's already been year since that wonderful day in Chambéry! We'll always be grateful to those of you who traveled to be with us and we miss you dearly!
C'est à ce genre de détails qu'on reconnaît une bonne librairie. Dans ce cas précis, Garin à Chambéry ! Poke @hmedievaliste.bsky.social, @libertalialivre.bsky.social.
Passage très rapide à Orléans ce matin, ville au fort parfum de médiévalisme. Avec forcément une pensée pour @hmedievaliste.bsky.social ! #medievalsky
Just realized my son has a Playmobil version of me attending summer conferences. #medievalsky #ESR
Formidable, je reçois un SMS de l'extrême droite pour me rappeler d'aller voter aux municipales à Chambéry ! Comment c'est possible et légal ça ??
Puis quelques décennies plus tard, une autre main commente: videtur quod author hic obut. Tout ce qu'il manque dans le texte à ce stade, c'est "Aaaargh".
Retour sur mon HDR. Enfin ! Le seul endroit où (avec des boules quies), je me sens en sécurité en ce moment. #medievalsky
I've just sent Volume III of my Chaucer edition/translation to @classiquesgarnier.bsky.social. 103 files (about 500.000 characters) including The Legend of Good Women, Chaucer's shorter poems, and the poems attributed to "Ch". It's not been easy with our neighbour harassing us... But I did it!
Lecture du week-end pour accompagner mes enfants malades. Tout en légèreté.
