OK, I’m hooked. I’ll keep a lookout for your next book.

Thanks! I was looking for something to read in Japanese - this is perfect!

Friday at 1:30, anyway. I hope to be there!

Your book arrived from B&N, and I'm finding it absolutely delightful as well as - of course- thoroughly researched and very informative. Thanks for a terrific read!

The articles are relevant to several projects I'm working on right now. Thanks for the link!

Thanks. Reading Peri Archon in a class right now so this is all incredibly relevant. I'll pass your article as well as the Muse issue to others in my class.

Helen Castor's new book about Richard II is pretty telling too.

Looks fun. I'll give it a try in the morning (US).

Thank you @jtpmedieval.bsky.social for this fantastic book! I loved your approach of integrating historical debates into the narrative. I learned a huge amount, even in areas where I already know a bit (Latin, paleography, and monasticism). Highly recommended!!

I have really enjoyed your bibliographies, especially the one for the Sarantine Mosaic. I recently (re-)read A Song for Arbonne on Nook and there wasn't one. Did it get left off the e-book edition?

Sorry-not-sorry, I have foster failed. Sammy will stay with me. #catsofbluesky

It's a subject I've long wanted to learn more about. Thanks for writing the book!

For those of you who, by donating to animal shelters, make surgery like Sammy's possible, thank you!! It has been transformative for him.

But he is not at all sure about the cat in the fireplace.

Sammy has passed his medical check and is cleared for adoption. I'm keeping him a few more days to teach him some socialization skills. He likes the top of the bookcase.

It was great, and I was thrilled to see it.

Do you just plug in the Latin text and it comes out in good English?

Marie Richards @marierichards.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Great summary of the exhibit, which I was fortunate to visit last month. You have some terrific insights.

#catsofbluesky I’m fostering a cat from the local animal shelter. I got him right after he had extensive dental surgery and still had a lingering paw infection. Antibiotics and pain meds twice daily. He’s looking a lot better in just a few days, don’t you think? How it started /how it’s going.

I'm too far away to visit, alas. Enjoy!

Reminded Gregory of Tours doesn't start his Histories with "a great many things keep happening, some of them good, some of them bad" (as per the Penguin edition), but gets in a grumble about "the decline or rather death of the cultivation of liberal letters" first. #medievalsky (pic Paris BF 17655)

The opening page of Gregory of Tours' Histories in the seventh-century manuscript Paris BnF 17655, complaining about the "decline or rather death" of the cultivation of the liberal arts.

We lost little Amalfi but it was a time to focus on the positives. A fried chicken treat for the street dogs of Thailand 🥰🙏

Hello, BlueSky-verse! We're really happy to be here, and to be carrying on the conversation from our previous Twitter account (@medievalfrench). But who exactly is 'we'? Well, time for a good, old-fashioned welcome thread ...

Welcome! It's great to see big Hank. Sorry about the videos but there's always Instagram for that. Anyway I like the photos.

Love having an entire lesson in a language textbook built around making and receiving phone calls from friends, something my 18-20 yr-old students are about as likely to do in China as they are to prepare a commercial airliner for takeoff.

Yeah, I can see where that would happen. Whereas I'm used to just endlessly scrolling on Twitter and find I'm engaging more here. Though still not much.

Marie Richards @marierichards.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

I'm a recent migrant to Bluesky and have been enjoying your niche tweets, since my own interests are also quite niche. Don't give up on us!

Marie Richards @marierichards.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Signal boost. @niallharbison.bsky.social does fantastic work with street dogs in Thailand and his posts are always life-affirming. It would be great to see him on this platform.

Since some of you were kind enough to follow me despite my diffidence (thank you!), I'll post the occasional photo. This little figurine, 19,000 years old, is at the French National Museum of Prehistory.

So glad to find you here now. I love your posts and had been checking your Twitter feed every day, but today I deactivated my account there.

Marie Richards @marierichards.bsky.social · 10/11/2024

Hi I'm new. I'm mostly working on 14th-15th century French humanists writing in Latin, like Gerson, Clémanges, and d'Ailly. I don't expect to post much, but I look forward to reading your conversations. Here's my cat, Lizzie.
