A medieval prayerbook rabbit hole:

I started with a lovely prayer about angels, heavenly bread, sunlight, cedar trees, and worms.

I ended up mapping a flexible but surprisingly stable choreography of prayer after Communion.

I guess I should officially announce that my book on the prose hagiography of Venantius Fortunatus (530-609) is coming out this summer:

So grateful for the mentors and colleagues who gave these chapters a look over the years.

What does a singing bear have to do with Chaucer?

A lot, it turns out.

Together with Jennifer S. Carnell (HMML), we trace how the Marian chant Alma redemptoris mater shaped medieval ideas about learning — from schoolrooms to miracles to manuscript images.

History is sometimes an act of accumulation: 397 folios. Hundreds of candles. Countless tiny details.

Today’s blog post discusses reading for details that earlier editors thought didn’t matter.

This is more than scale for scale’s sake. Projects like CoMMA show how AI can shift historiography itself: not by “interpreting” the past, but by restoring access to it. By transcribing manuscripts without normalising spelling or silently resolving abbreviations, AI allows historians to study scribal practice, layout, and linguistic variation at a scale previously impossible.
