It's a wrap! What a wonderful conference and precious conversation I am bringing home. I am grateful to have been part of the panel on female letter writers and addressees in Graeco-Roman antiquity, organised by @janjasoldo.bsky.social and @gavinkellylatin.bsky.social I learnt so much!

Sometimes working with manuscripts gets us really, really close to the people from the past allowing us to hear their voices. This is a story of a letter from a schoolgirl to her teacher, written probably sometime at the end of the 9th or the beginning of the 10th century. A thread 🧵 #medievalsky /1

A faint writing, the text is in Latin and it reads: Domina magistra felhin date mihi licenciam in hac nocte vigilare cum magistra adalu et ego vobis ambabus manibus confirmo atque iuro ut per totam noctem declinare volo aut legere aut pro seniore nostro cantare Valete et ut peto facite. (Abbreviations have been resolved in this transcription).

I just read Andreas Abele's thoughtful and generous review of my book in the latest issue of Journal of Late Antiquity. You'll also find my review of Michele R. Salzman's The Falls of Rome in the same issue!

The hilarious graffiti in #MontyPython'sLifeofBrian are way better than THIS. Really, Ridley? (I did not watch #Gladiator2 and I suspect I never will).
