  3. 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.

  4. Der erste Mai - der war frei. Doch unser neuester #Rezensionsüberblick war natürlich dennoch pünktlich online!

  6. Willkommen im April! Und hier ist auch schon unser neuer #Rezensionsüberblick!

  10. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. RE: mastodon.social/@gutenberg_org

    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.

  28. Huh - what do I see in the corner of my eye - is it - an old volume...? No - a pretty recent one (2018): this #LiteraryStudies study by Patrick J. Murphy connects the dots between the #MedievalStudies of #MRJames & his classic "antiquarian" #ghoststories 👻

  29. Attention Palaeographers! 🖋️✨
    I'm happy to share the Corpus Litterarum: a new dataset of annotated Latin manuscript characters from the St. Gall codices CSG 11 & 70 (Winithar).

    🔎 2,152 line images
    🔠 44,407 annotations across 73 classes
    📜 Includes Latin letters
    🤖 Semi-automatic labelling with Roboflow

    The dataset is freely available on Zenodo:
    👉 zenodo.org/records/16995048

    Use it for palaeography, HTR, character segmentation — or just to explore the manuscripts of St. Gall!
