Finally, I received a pdf of my recently published article "Printing, Liturgy and Crusade in Early Modern Mazovia," in which I discuss the Polish variant of the "contra Turcos" mass. Many thanks to the editors of Revue d'Histoire Ecclesiastique.
Looking for some summer reading?
My new book "The Crusader Storm" offers a history of the Crusades (1097-1187) from around ten different cultural perspectives.

Happy #ManuscriptMonday! Today, we have this gorgeous illuminated map of Jerusalem from the mid-12th century. It presents an idealized vision of Jerusalem – depicted as a perfect circle with the main streets forming a cross – and of its main monuments.
Our next Exploring the Past public lecture is taking place soon. This fascinating and free talk will be online.
Title: The Memorialisation of Crusading

Dziś znowu w Berlinie, widziałem ponownie tajemniczy depozyt, w którym przechowywane są karty z Gaude, mater Polonia. Bardzo miło przyjęto mnie w Stabi. Popołudniu wygłaszam natomiast wykład na Freie Uni Berlin.
This week I am on the way to Budapest to present @LiturgicaPL's digital platform for the automated analysis of mss (e.g. liturgy). Our baby walks! It not only recognizes the handwritten text and improves it but also identifies the content and compares it! #twitterstorians
It is quite rewarding when your country's largest news media outlet publishes about your discovery. I have found probably the oldest witness of the "Gaude, mater Polonia" hymn, a very popular chant in medieval Poland that has nearly become the "national anthem" in modern times.
