Art History MA student at the Warburg Institute. Late 15th C Veneto-Padua illumination is my current focus.

Now coursework and exams are done, I’m diving back into researching Girolamo da Cremona’s frontispieces which he painted for early Venetian printed books (MA dissertation) Here are some details from Vol. 2, Metaphysica, Aristotle’s Opera held at the Morgan Library, PML 21194

A washed out inscription from a book from the library of @ChalonsAgglo can be digitally enhanced ... and then transcribed ⬇️

Didn’t think there could be a citation format I'd hate more than Harvard, but MLA takes the biscuit. The confusing handbook is unable to help with the fact early drama studies is small, so of course I’m citing multiple publications by 1 author. (please send encouraging memes)

Remarkable letter published in the Times today… signed by two Booker Prize winners and a Communard…

@katief1978 I’m a UEA literature grad and I had a fantastic experience. The academics are a joy to learn from and I was always encouraged to pursue my interests and supported in this. The modules are brilliant. I honestly cannot recommend UEA highly enough.

When I was 17 I came across documents in an archive showing the composer John Wilbye was married. Every printed source and reference work I could find said he died unmarried. That early experience of being able to alter the historical record by archival research was absolute dope

The proposed cuts at UEA do not have to happen. The Arts and Humanities faculty does not have to be targeted in this way. UEA is still a very rich university ...for some. UEA writers: please sign & share our open letter to UEA's (mis)managers: https://t.co/KubVP8fMnm Thank you!

[Jeremy Noel-Tod @jntod]

A 'UEA scraps creative writing' story is taking hold. That's not what's happening. UEA Humanities are facing redundancies across many areas that feed a brilliant writing course (including Literature). That's *worse* in the long term because it's a culture / a mindset / a library.

[Brooke Le Breton @BrookeLeBreton]

This morning, I wrote a letter to the VC on behalf of our MA cohort. We are frustrated and saddened by the current events at UEA and stand in solidarity with our excellent academic staff within Arts and Humanities. #SaveUEA @UEA_UCU

Hello new followers, there is no cult-following here I promise. I'm Dr. MRO, I'm a medievalist who researches race in Early England. I left the field cause I was tired of being the token. I have a yarn biz now & take colorways from manuscripts w/ Black folks in them. 1/

[Aylin Malcolm @Malentendre]

Thinking about when someone asked about animals and gender at my PhD defense, and I said "you know, it's like the weasels" and all the medievalists in the room sagely nodded ("of course, the weasels") and everyone else looked around in utter confusion

Girolamo da Cremona! These initials are held in the Fitzwilliam Museum. #illumination #manuscript #archive

As long as the nice one of him thinking is kept I’m happy. I will not be taking any Thomas Browne slander.

A distinctive brain sculpture in one of Norwich's most unloved squares looks set to finally be removed.  https://t.co/dPIxAQOJq0

@mmebibliophile What a fascinating topic! Can’t to see what you find. I would say that writing as you go is really important, it helps me figure out what my main sections are and which areas need deeper explanation.

More amusing manicules: a long boi, an alien hand and arm, another flipper, and what I am interpreting as an early drawing of the classic Italian hand gesture 🤌

🧵:Wanna see a subtle way that scholars erase queer possibilities in the Middle Ages?

Let's look at how archives describe medieval images of Gemini that are male/male vs those that are male/female. #MedievalTwitter

Just read a journal article titled “Carlo Crivelli: The Portrait of the Artist as a Cucumber” (Thomas Golsenne, 2015). 10/10 title. #earlymodern #jamesjoyce

@zanna_vl Wow! Incredible.
