#medievalists — Public Fediverse posts

I deciphered some heavily abbreviated scholastic Latin pasted into a book binding and found Johannes Nider’s Praeceptorium divinae legis hiding in the flyleaves of a Thalbach devotional book.

Fragments really do have a place in intellectual history.

🚩⚔️ 📖 Mais qui était Ségurant, chevalier oublié de la Table ronde ?

C’est en 2010, à la bibliothèque de l’Arsenal, à Paris, que le médiéviste italien Emanuele Arioli découvre dans un manuscrit du XVe siècle, "Les prophéties de Merlin", un épisode inconnu du cycle arthurien : les aventures du chevalier Ségurant, condamné par la fée Morgane à poursuivre un dragon imaginaire. S’agissait-il des vestiges d’un roman de la Table ronde ? Du pays de Galles à la Suède en passant par l’Italie, le jeune chercheur est parti sur les traces de ce héros oublié afin de percer le mystère de ses origines.

Hey writers, do you have any questions you would like to ask an expert on the medieval era?

Peter Heather is the professor of Medieval History at King’s College London, and has kindly agreed to a Q&A blog post, so tell us what you'd like to know!

Here’s something fun for you #medievalists and those into #typologies - this leather scrap from medievai #Greenland is covered with incised crosses. Probably it’s a #devotional counter of some kind, and those three-toed/triangular crosses are distinctively Greenland. Do they pop up elsewhere? #histodons

#GeoffreyChaucer fans, #medievalists , #EnglishLanguage and #linguists

Around 10 years ago, a Geoffrey Chaucer parody account on ye olde Twitter (Chaucer Doth Tweet) promoted “Whan That Aprille Day” on April 1st (but it perhaps should be 17th?)

“On the first daye of Aprille, lat us make tyme to take joye yn alle langages that are yclept ‘old,’ or ‘middel,’ or ‘auncient,’ or ‘archaic,’ or, alas, even ‘dead.’ ...

Yn thys celebracioun we shal reade of oold bokes yn sondrye oold tonges. We shal singe olde songes. We shal playe olde playes. Eny oold tonge will do, and eny maner of readinge. All are welcome. We shal make merrye yn the magical dreamscape of 'social media,' and eke, yf ye kan do yt, yn the 'real worlde' too. ... ”

Random thought: 🤔
You know how most fighters struggle with fighting a south paw (left-handed) fighter because everything is mirrored? Would it be the same with swordfighting, so a left-handed sword fighter could have an advantage? ⚔️

📰 Estudando os arquivos privados de #GeorgesDuby, Felipe Brandi conseguiu destrinçar o porquê do medievalista aceitar que a sua obra "Domingo de Bouvines" fosse publicada em Espanha de modo truncado.
