iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Hilde De Weerdt @hildedw.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Zo is het. Vanuit mijn perspectief jammer dat partijen zoals Vooruit en CD&V onderwijs al jaren aan een falend NvA beleid overlaten, en nu meehelpen om Cultuur en Erfgoed weg te bezuinigen zodat wat overblijft alleen nog voor de happy few zal zijn zoals in de neoliberale Nederlandse maatschappij.

No, other than that this attack was unrelated to the first, not much has been disclosed on the attack itself.

Hilde De Weerdt @hildedw.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

No private information from authors or editors was obtained in this incident. As for the Journal of Chinese History, we expect that Firstview articles will be somewhat delayed but the next issue should appear on time in January 2027. We will keep you posted should there be further repercussions.

This incident took place in early August and is unlike the earlier incident from 2 years ago. It mainly affects production and online retail. CUP set up a production flow to publish more articles per week than normally so that the current backlog will have disappeared by mid-October 2026.

For those who submitted articles or book manuscripts to Cambridge University Press recently: In late August CUP wrote that they had suffered a second cybersecurity incident. It is therefore not possible to order books from CUP online. At a meeting for editors yesterday I learned the following:

in the last few years, with publishers cutting corners and producing books that haven't been carefully reviewed or edited (some only have proposals rather than full manuscripts peer reviewed), and that from a production angle don't look the part either. Editors and authors beware!

I was fortunate to be among the founding editors of EAPS w. Cynthia Brokaw and Peter Kornicki. Glad to see it is still going strong. In this issue I contribute a review of a book with an important mission but that shows some of the signs of what has gone wrong in academic publishing

Come on, Belgium. Play like Sunzi tonight. We're up against one of the big states, one that hasn't lost in 35 games and that has so far not allowed any team to score against them. One goal is already a plus, but there may be ways to go for more with Master Garcia. 加油!

Nothing to see here? Well, this is a slow moving 🧵 for #skystorians and others about #eyeglasses of the past, about how to read in the past, where to buy eyeglasses, and how to do with them in general. The hashtag is #HowToDoWithGlassesInThePast Let's roll.

Detail of the "Glasses Apostle" painting in the altarpiece of the church of Bad Wildungen, Germany. Painted by Conrad von Soest in 1403, the painting is considered to be among the oldest depictions of eyeglasses north of the Alps

The first article I published was on the poetry of mourning in early medieval times, a somewhat embarrassing piece when I read it now, but there was time to learn then, and for this I am especially grateful. In fond memory of Stephen Owen a 擬悼亡詩.

Hilde De Weerdt @hildedw.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

RIP Stephen Owen. 35 years ago I crossed the pond for the first time. I was delighted to take classes on poetry from the beginnings, the early medieval period, to the Tang and Qing, 5 in all, with the inimitable Steve Owen. Steve radiated the joy of research and the pleasure he took in writing.

This manuscript by Anselmus Faust, dated 1612, is the oldest surviving European manual on bookbinding. Written in Latin & Dutch, it was created for the St Bernard's Abbey near Antwerp. What makes it especially unique is its rare dos à dos binding: 2 books bound back-to-back, sharing a single spine.

Title page of the manuscript which reads 'Beschrijvinghe ende onderwijsinghe ter discreter ende vermaerder consten des boeckbinders handwerck, hier inne te sien ende te lesen hoemen de boecken op alderhande manieren binden ende maecken sal.'
