So the satire pamphlet came up with a different reading of this Latin message, and it suggests the reading of VICI MALUM as
"Vici Maximilianum" (see the image). And this means "I have conquered Maximilian". Take this Habsburg Europe, be warned! #earlymodern #skystorians

At long last, another recipe post. It's about #gingerbread, corruption, and why if your diplomatic shtick is winning wars, losing one is dangerous.

Any resemblance to current events is all in your head.

Heute wird mancherorts der #WorldSleepDay begangen – für uns ein Anlass, um ganz ausgeruht die frühneuzeitliche Schlafzeit zu betrachten, die sowohl Gegenstand obrigkeitlicher #Sozialkontrolle wie Mittel gesellschaftlicher Abgrenzung sein konnte:

Wegen einer Wirtshausstreitigkeit an Silvester fand heute vor 270 Jahren im Amtshaus von #Triberg (#Schwarzwald) ein Prozess statt. Auf welche Weisen sich dieser Ehrkonflikt auf dem Weg von der Kneipe in den obrigkeitlichen Kontext vor Gericht transformierte, untersucht:

Probably not among the juiciest topics in #NeoLatin and #Jesuit studies, but in the unlikely event that you feel like learning more about the legal basis of the Jesuits’ congregationes procuratorum, I’ve got you covered: “The Formula of the Congregation of Procurators: Introduction, Latin Text, and English Translation.” In Political Agents and Cultural Mediators.

The Word made Flesh is out today! I've not seen it in the flesh myself yet, but this is a happy day after many years of work. #EarlyModern #medhist #histmed #bodyhistory

Question for #digitalhumanities , #earlymodern , #bookhistory , #latin and especially #neolatin people here: Do you know of #linkedopendata resources that are potentially relevant for Neolatinists? I'm preparing a talk on the topic and would like to provide an overview of interesting datasets beyond wikidata, factgrid, prism, lila and the linked data services of some libraries.

🗃️ 📚💙 #Tudors #WomenInHistory #earlymodern folks - @leahredmondchang.bsky.social is here! I wrote an essay about Leah's terrific YOUNG QUEENS: Three Renaissance Women and the Price of Power (the link's in the second post in thread). 1/2

The King’s Health - a political song from the reign of Charles II.

It's sung to the tune of Farrinel's Ground, also known as La Follia. This ground, used as a base for divisions (variations) for both instruments and voices, was popular throughout the early modern period.

Written in the early 1680s, at the time of the Popish Plot, the song praises the King and the Duke of York (the future James II), encouraging everyone to drink to their health. It is virulently anti-Catholic and anti-Whig.

Emily Atkinson: soprano
Robin Jeffrey: lute
Alison Kinder: bass viol

My colleague Bettina Braun has described our recent #geohumanities project with #students in a German-language blogpost for the #University of #Mainz: https://modell-m.uni-mainz.de/2022/12/20/mobilitaet-in-kurmainz-webseite-mit-projektergebnissen-online/ The project gives insights into #earlymodern #clerical #mobility but also trials new teaching methods.

Try Mastodon they said... So, here I am, #historian working on the #earlymodern period and historical #peaceresearch, especially in the Baltic Sea region and the Holy Roman Empire, with a particular soft spot for Imperial Diets and constitutional history. #introduction
