#medievalist — Public Fediverse posts

The recent mention of Guillaume de Machaut by @scholar_farmer in her new #introduction reminded me of this album recorded by David Munrow and The Early Music Consort of London in the seventies:

I'm neither #musicologist nor #medievalist, but have enjoyed this music for decades.

In addition, I still mourn the untimely death of David Munrow.

Migrating my account, so here's a new #introduction :-)

I’m a #musicologist and #medievalist, an early-morning writer, woods-walker, gardener, birder, and habitual generalist who finds the world interesting.

My research centers on women’s religious communities in the later Middle Ages and early modern period: including music, sound and memory, plus the messy evidence of how people actually used their #books and #manuscripts. (I'm currently writing on the sisters of Thalbach in Bregenz: not-quite-nuns, they appear first as beguines and later as Franciscan tertiaries.) #nuntastic

There’s a lot of Brahms on my playlist, and Machaut (of course), and Barbara Strozzi, and even some #Bardcore.

I post research-in-progress and opine about my #garden (why are the rabbits INSIDE the fence?) and about the beauty around us (#sunrise is my favorite time of day).

You are a #medievalist, interested in medieval #manuscripts as well as in material culture, and you are looking for a #postdoc #job?

Two-year postdoctoral position in #Palaeography at the University of Naples ‘L’Orientale’.

The position is part of the #ercproject 'TabulaRasa. Clay, Wax, and the Impact of Erasable Writing Technologies on Manuscript Cultures'.

Look here https://tabularasa.hypotheses.org/5854 for more information.

Application deadline is 14 September.

Tämä on mielenkiintoinen 😎”I am a #historian & #medievalist interested in human interaction. A #humanist fond of allusions. #European 🇪🇺. Dr. Current themes: #migration #medieval #BalticSeaArea #workforce #maids #textualisation #communication #missives #Tallinn #roads #viabundus”

I’ve got to say, the pealing of the bells from the Catholic church down the block tipping me off that a new #pope has been selected warms the cockles of my #medievalist heart.

ugggggh, proofreading my old readings of charters, well, it shows me how much I've grown as a scholar over the last three years. It's not that old me was bad at transcription, it's just that more recent me has more experience. This is all to the good. Right?

Random Fact for Fantasy World-Builders:

In medieval households, the "still room" was managed by the lady of the house, where practical skills like food preservation, perfume making, and preparing herbal remedies were taught.

I stumbled upon this wonderful series explaining the making of medieval manuscripts, and thought it might be useful to someone out there.

#Language as a means to shape perception is a powerful and sometimes dangerous tool.Girlie lunch, girl talk, a girls’ night in... ways in which the english language infantilizes women. Or phrases such as crying or throwing like a girl...a means to shame men.

This excerpt from #medievalist Jenni Nuttall’s fascinating new book MOTHER TONGUE reveals centuries of women’s rebellion against #patriarchal strictures as reflected in the evolution of English language. #books

The librarian at #NYAM was grabbing some rare books from me from the locked shelves in the reading room. (Some original copies of Laennec's work on lung disease.)

When she pulled them down, another book caught her eye: a copy of a medical treatise from the 16th century, reprinted in Kyoto in the 17th century. It was a gorgeous book, but one which neither of our expertises could make heads or tails of.

It reminds me of what my #medievalist colleagues always say: the medieval world is much larger, and much more vibrant than westernized accounts of that history would say.

Okay, I'm #NewHere, let's try an #introduction

Hi, I'm Finn. I'm a #medievalist in the field of #CelticStudies specialising in the late Ulster Cycle. I'm particularly fond of Láeg mac Riangabra, Cú Chulainn's charioteer.

I'm also an #author, and I write #YA and #fantasy fiction. Two YA thrillers published so far: The Butterfly Assassin & The Hummingbird Killer, about a traumatised teenage assassin trying and failing to live a normal life. More on the way 👀

Mostly here to talk niche nerdery!

The first copies have arrived! @editionscg
