“#Epstein’s approach is resolutely interdisciplinary. He draws on #Jewish studies, #arthistory, #theology, #codicology, and #culturalhistory, as well as analogies from #popularculture. This style extends to the #prose, which blends close #visualanalysis with personal anecdotes, digressions, and moments of #memoir. For some #readers, this intimacy will enhance accessibility, collapsing the gap between #scholar and subject; others may find it distracts from sustained theoretical engagement. The balance between #narrative digression and focused argument is not always even, and the density of #illustration placement can interrupt textual flow. Yet the over-all effect is of a generous teacher guiding readers through a complex #visual and #cultural landscape. People of the Image speaks not only to #scholars of #Jewish #art, but to broader debates in #medieval art history, #religious studies, and visual culture.” ~ review by Sara Offenberg..."

Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library! 📚📙📖📗📘
Here’s a unique indie game gem from two-person Japanese indie team ArtRising. It’s called Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library! and it’s an organisation simulator about organising a disorderly library.
It’s got a lot of attention during the week on social media, although it launched in April 2026 on Steam. Its quiet focus on arranging a library is a welcome ode to solitude, with some 3,072 books to use your skills and strategising on.
Plenty of Glorious Repetition in Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library!
Some gamers will wonder why anyone would make, or play, a game like this. To which we kindly refer you on to our list of best video games for autistic adults. Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library! will be going on that list.
It seem odd to the uninitiated, but games like this are very popular in many gaming communities. Considering it’s also only £5 and offers between four and ten hours of gameplay (given how fast you are), this is good bang for your book (pun alert!).
For the plot here, a mischievous fair has decided to leave university library in total chaos. As the player, you’re commanded by the outraged principal to stay put until all 3,072 books are returned to their correct spot.
Thus, you must take it all on book by book. And so begins the process of categorisation of genres, with the more you stack leading to unlockable skills that make the experience easier. Here it all is in action, with this user completing the lot in about four hours.
Naturally, a game like this has also triggered off gaming spreedrunners. That’s where players race to complete a game as fast as possible in the name of world record prestige.
We enjoyed it a great deal and it’s an escapist game to return to when the mood takes you. This sort of thing really takes your mind off the world and is great for your mental health.
However, if you’re a gamer… you’ll already know if this thing sounds appealing to you.
Also, an interesting note. The use of AI is controversial everywhere, including the gaming world, but the devs are upfront about their use of it. Tools like this make sense when you’re an indie dev on a tiny budget. We have no issue with it and it’s interesting to see how it supported the game’s completion.
The four assets in this work—one UI component and three landscape paintings used as wall decorations (frames not included)—were produced using additional AI for refinement. None of them were created by AI from the ground up.
AI helped with grammatical corrections for in-game text, which were then carefully reviewed and adjusted by hand.
We only consider AI to be a supportive tool. Every detail is meticulously crafted with human intent, as our creative process is still firmly anchored in manual craftsmanship.
A facilitation tool, then, with great results. As this is a relaxing, immersive game that’ll well and truly take your mind off things. Innit.

#Google. You and I both know that users in China need to use a VPN to access Google #Scholar. This does *not* mean that the IP addresses associated with those VPNs are "sending automated queries" as your persistent error message says. Just whitelist such IP addresses. Things are hard enough. Don't be evil.

"#Jewish #history in #Wales stretches back centuries, yet its significance remains little known outside specialist circles.
My new #book uncovers how #Jews, #Judaism, #Israel and #Palestine have played a far greater role in #Welsh history and imagination than many realise. In fact, they have helped shape ideas of nationhood, identity and belonging over centuries.
In her 2012 book Whose People? Wales, Israel, Palestine, the #scholar #JasmineDonahaye observed that “the fate of Jews in #Britain had been historically closely caught up with the fate of the Welsh, though this seems to have passed largely unnoticed in Wales”.
My #research builds on that insight, tracing Wales’s relationship with Jews, Judaism, Israel and Palestine from the earliest #historical references to the present day."

A quotation from Christopher Marlowe
CHORUS: Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight,
And burnèd is Apollo’s laurel bough,
That sometime grew within this learnèd man.
Faustus is gone. Regard his hellish fall,
Whose fiendful fortune may exhort the wise
Only to wonder at unlawful things,
Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits,
To practise more than heavenly power permits.Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Epilogue (1594; 1604 “A” text)More about this quote: wist.info/marlowe-christopher/…

I've had it with #Google #Scholar. Currently trying to do a little bit of automated bibliometrics, and there's a ton of Scholar parsers on Github in various states of brokenness, sometimes with fully integrated proxy support and Selenium backend and whatnot so it doesn't get banhammered...
Yeah nah, I'm just going with OpenAlex now which
a) has a proper API,
b) actually knows what a DOI is, and
c) has much higher-quality data than GS. -
