Greetings early medievalists. I am wondering if there is an English translation of Gregory of Tours History of the Franks that has superseded Thorpe's Penguin version and is easily/widely available? Many thanks. #medievalsky

Seeking assistance. I found this old picture in my files. I have no idea where it is from. Would any smart colleagues be able identify it and to direct me to the original source? Many thanks #medievalsky

Delighted to have hosted the Saturday Mediaeval Symposium at The University of St Michael’s College. We explored many medieval maps and ways to map the Middle Ages.

Today is the Festum Asinorum, the Feast of the Asses, commemorating the flight into Egypt. Think, too, of the donkeys who work for humans globally. Perhaps donate to the Donkey Sanctuary Canada that rescues so many — today might be a good day to make a donation & remember donkeys past and present.

Wither patriarchy & anti-feminism? I have just read two very different articles; “Real Masculinity Terrifies the System” positing “There is a war on men" and "What is ‘Toxic Femininity’?” arguing society will crumble with the “shift female dominance.” Are we really back in the 1990s? #medievalsky

My gift to all my friends, cat-lovers or not, going back to their offices and classrooms. A feline survival guide for the neo-liberal university. Plus it is clever and light-hearted and will elicit a smile on this Labour Day weekend. Stay safe out there. #medievalsky

Hey #medivalsky friends. Thinking of going to Leeds next year if there is a panel I can squeeze into. Sexes, genders, sexualities esp masculinities. Also have a 12th century hagiography project. Please let me if you think there might be a fit.

#medievalsky years ago an article by Leonard Boyle incl flow chart of the various genres of pastoralia incl how they moved from universities to the parish priest. I donated all my books & no longer have his Variorum Pastoral Care clerical edu. which might have it. Could any one share pdf? Thanks

So my article on Thomas Aquinas’ heads has led me to be termed “a well-known anti-Catholic.” Hmm… I work at a Catholic college, hang out at the Pontifical Institute for Mediaeval Studies, and was educated by priests in grad school. A very interesting take. Well-known indeed. #medievalsky

The Montreal Massacre. December 6 1989. He separated the women from the men because he hated feminists. Then he killed 14 women. We remember their names.

Found on FB and thought #medievalsky might enjoy! All readers need to be acquainted with traditional “women’s magazines”

I have a question of etiquette #medievalsky I think because of starter packs I have been inundated by new followers. Some have anonymized ids and others not one bit of information. How are people handling this. Blocking anyone not clearly medieval in some way? Letting them languish as followers?

#medievalsky friends I would appreciate advice for a lunch menu the seems medieval but can be made by university cafeteria catering & will be modestly priced. Braised or roasted chicken is easy but what about apps & desert? This was suddenly placed on my shoulders so thank you for quick replies.

As a medieval historian, I am so glad I tend to see events in the context of centuries rather than 4-year blocks of time. It helps me sleep at night. #medievalsky

Finally, after 9 months of solid work, my project has moved from editorial to production. Who knows how long that gestation will take? But for now, free at last! #medievalsky

Finally, I think I’ve pulled together the threads of my paper for the print culture conference in September. Yes, it really is possible to link a 12th-C hermit with 16th-&17th-century printing. The long Middle Ages! #medievalsky

Well, #medievalsky that’s that. Experiencing the dread and excitement of clicking send and off goes the project that has occupied me for the past 8 months. Of course, things will continue to pop up (like indexes) but still, I’m on to the next thing with an all too tight deadline. Nevertheless, yay!

#medievalsky I read an article from the AHR (1908). It was astonishing because it was so personal. The prose was literary graceful; not undermined by dozens of footnotes. Just enough to lead back to the archives. We could never get away with writing like this today, but what a pleasure to read.
