After two years of work, I'm thrilled to announce the release of Troïlus et Criseyde!

This project has been a labour of love, and I can't wait to share this literary gem with all of you. Join me in celebrating this milestone and spread the word about the release.

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.’

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.

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

My brain might be melting, but I've translated 30 stanzas today... 210 lines. I think that's my record, I've never spent so much time in one day on Troilus and Criseyde.

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

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.

A colleague/friend is proofreading my translation of Troilus and Criseyde. She finished Book 3 yesterday, so I sent her Book 4 this morning. She just answered: "Not interested anymore now that they've slept together." SO tempted to quote her in a glose!

I've received the first volume of the 2022 editions of the Early English Text Society. I won't lie to you, my fiancée is delighted that I'm part of another society sending me massive books occupying every available inch of the house.

Hello everyone!

I’m a #histodon, #arthistodon and #medievodon working on Florentine wax ex-votos but, more widely, the devotional material culture and art of #latemedieval Florence.

Look forward to connecting.
