  4. 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.

  5. 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.’

  6. End of the week fun, ahead of the 63rd summer seminar of the English Research Association of Hiroshima. It's a real honour to be invited to give a lecture in Japan.

  7. 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.

  8. A #medieval gold and #garnet pendant inscribed with a "magical" Hebrew phrase has been declared treasure.

    The jewel was discovered by a metal detectorist at Great Tey near Colchester, Essex, in August 2021.

  9. 79 #Manuscripts this week from the #Vatican wiglaf.org/vatican/2023/week7.
    Includes a fascinating Caiazzo Missal in Beneventan, another Missal with polyphonic notation, a Ritual for Melfi, some 19th C letters and the usual Sermona, Sarabands and Saints lives. NB the Pal.gr collection added 10 MS, the first in years. All are online at Heidelberg, but the BAV has delayed

  10. 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

  11. Many of you expressed interest in the introductions written by A. Butterfield, C. Barrington, D. Wallace and S. Crane for the first volume of my Chaucer translation.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.
