For those interested, ‘Publishing in a Medieval Monastery: The View from Twelfth-Century Engelberg’ by Ben Pohl is free to access until the 20th of July from Cambridge University Press.

‘This Element contributes to the burgeoning field of medieval publishing studies with a case study of the books produced at the Benedictine monastery of Engelberg under its celebrated twelfth-century abbot, Frowin (1143–78). Frowin was the first abbot of Engelberg whose book provision policy relied on domestic production serviced by an internal scribal workforce, and his tenure marked the first major expansion of the community's library. This Element's in-depth discussion of nearly forty colophons inscribed in the books made for this library during Frowin's transformative abbacy offers a fresh perspective on monastic publishing practice in the twelfth century by directing our view to a mode of publication that has received only limited attention in scholarship to date.’

Panic in Detroit (David Bowie), as I had to hand over my "I am autistic"-button at the airport security... for it was a " sharp object" . 🙁

But... I made it to #kalamazoo! Cannot wait for the International Congress on Medieval Studies to start!

Of course, I also brought one of my flutes with me, for some neomedieval entertainment. 😉

I've just finished correcting the proofs of my @editionscg edition and translation of Troilus and Criseyde! As you can see, I did find a couple of things to correct.... I'm going to need new eyes now.

We've got proofs! 527 pages of them...

It is officially over. The manuscript of my edition/translation of Troilus and Criseyde has been sent to the publisher (Clasiques Garnier)!

Two years and a half of work, 800.067 characters (about 700 pages) and lots of headaches.

I think it's time to celebrate! #medieval #medievalodon #medievalist #medievodon #history #histodon @medievodons @histodons @bookstodon

I never thought I'd say that one day, but I've officially finished translating Troilus and Criseyde!

Amen, indeed.

Pardon my French, but that "Litera Troili" is a bitch to translate...

#medieval #medievalodon #history #histodon #medievodon #medievalist @histodons @medievodons

I have a theory. Given the amount of "and shortly" in Troilus and Criseyde Book V, I believe the narrator was just as annoyed as I am by the characters and their moping.

#medieval #medievalodon #history #histodon #medievodon #medievalist @histodons @medievodons

168 lines of Troilus and Criseyde translated today. I can't see the end of it! As a good friend of mine recently noticed, that story would have ended earlier if they had been using Tinder.
