Hot off the press in the latest @litreview.bsky.social: my review of @twhittermarsh.bsky.social's book on the origins of Christianity and the Age of Augustus. (TLDR: it's well worth a read.)
Absolutely stunned to hear of the passing of Rosamond McKitterick, who did me (like many others) a number of good turns at crucial points in my career. My thoughts are with her family and her many devoted students. May she rest in peace and rise in glory. #MedievalSky #Skystorians
Delighted to retrieve my copy of this today! @rorynaismith.bsky.social @yalebooks.bsky.social
Enjoying a beer and a book on my way back from a busy day of filming with 72 Films in London!
All Saints' Chapel, Sewanee, featuring stained glass windows of Bede and Swithun.
Very much enjoying my time at the Sewaneee Medieval Colloquium: beautiful campus, lovely weather and some excellent papers so far!
Is it wrong that I now really want to consult this? #MedievalSky www.gda.bayern.de/gvl/archive....
Delighted to be hearing from Julia Crick about what manuscripts and scribes can tell us about the Norman Conquest.
By contrast, Otto I was too sexy for this codex... (Marburg, StA, K 425, fol. 107v.)
Louis the Pious looking good in the Codex Eberhardi! (Marburg, StA, K 425, fol. 106v.)
You might not like it, but this is what peak academic performance looks like.
Very much looking forward to this #charterrific event tomorrow! If you want a copy of the Teams link, just let me know. (Formal sign-up is now passed, but I have permission to circulate the link.)
It me! Online attendance also available; book on Eventbrite: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/professor-...
There may be better ways to prepare for a lecture, but if so, I've yet to find them! #charterrific #7sternwien
Will you be in Vienna in mid-December? If so, you can come hear me give the annual IMAFO lecture on editing the East Frankish royal charters! You know you want to... #charterrific
To London, to the 29th annual @britishacademy.bsky.social Anglo-Saxon Charters Symposium! #charterrific
Delighted to receive a copy of this fine volume today! The production team at @princetonupress.bsky.social have done an excellent job and the many (colour) illustrations really help bring the text to life. Beg, borrow or buy a copy! #skystorians
Earlier today I finished reading these fine volumes for the first time cover-to-cover. An extraordinary scholarly accomplishment and enduring monument to 19thC diplomatic.
