Happy new year #MedievalSky! Any late medieval/early modern paleographers out there? At the (absolutely brilliant!) Scottish Manuscripts conference in December, organised by @hdohertyharrison.bsky.social, @bryonycoombs.bsky.social and W. R. Pierce, we came across this lovely annotation:

We hold a monthly virtual reading group exploring different versions of the Seven Sages tradition! Tomorrow's discussion of the Hebrew text will include: inexplicable ageism; analogues for the Tristan-as-beggar fidelity trick; and what ✨magic spells✨ are most useful when committing robbery. Join us!

This account is new, but the study of the textual tradition of the Seven Sages is not! The Seven Sages Network met in November 2022, for the Oxford-Berlin Workshop: "The Seven Sages of Rome: A Global Narrative Tradition", organised by Ida Toth (Oxford) and Jutta Eming (Berlin).

A few months into our project, we now digitally exist (on multiple platforms!)! Come and say hello if you're interested in frame stories, manuscript studies, gender in medieval narratives, and multilingual transmission of pre-modern popular texts!
