Book historian, digital humanist, holder of spaces, scholarly or otherwise.

Wondering where to live-tweet next, now that Twitter is dead...

C'est @adamfleming qui va être content! J'ai l'impression que j'ai juste entendu son nom prononcé avec l'accent britannique d'Adam en écoutant Brexitcast sur @BBCSounds... 😃

[Élysée @Elysee]

Le Président de la République a nommé Monsieur Michel BARNIER Premier ministre. Il l’a chargé de constituer un gouvernement de rassemblement au service du pays et des Français.

@BelgaSox Non... J'étais à l'intérieur aux portes ouvertes de l'Alliance française, où j'enseignerai peut-être s'il y a assez d'inscriptions dans les groupes plus avancés (parce que tu ne veux pas que j'essaie d'expliquer la grammaire française en néerlandais...)

@n_de_rosa @CBC @NPR @roseveleth PS: good job sur le podcast des @Decrypteurs_RC et, en particulier, sa chronique culturelle... J'étais bien heureuse d'apprendre 1) le mot "rizz" (j'ai aimé comment tu l'as défendu en évoquant l'@OED si je ne me trompe pas) et 2) l'existence de son party sur TikTok 😛

@n_de_rosa Une belle occasion de ploguer le podcast de la @CBC en collaboration avec @NPR sur ces fameux "tests de féminité": Tested, par @roseveleth!

@ladydothpaints @UCLSpecColl I'm sorry I didn't register this bit of your talk: what are the potential geographic areas and centuries for this coat of arms (to know who I should tag)?

[Marie Léger-St-Jean (marielsj.bsky.social) @Marie_LSJ]

Last talk at the @BL_European seminar with @ladydothpaints, outreach officer for @UCLSpecColl, having us laughing at the life and adventures of Italian paleographer, thief, and forger Guglielmo Libri Carucci dalla Sommaja... https://t.co/sDyWEX937m

It was Sophie Defrance (@Libriul)!

She wrote her 2008 Cambridge dissertation on 19th-century textbooks for girls in England and France!

[Marie Léger-St-Jean (marielsj.bsky.social) @Marie_LSJ]

Sophie (dunno her last name) suggested that Karima Gaci look into the educational press to see how textbook authors were pitching their method to educators

I plugged @sikandar_bubb's new project on Victorian periodicals teaching languages, starting w/ 🇫🇷

@UCLSpecColl I adored @ladydothpaints's presentation of this mystery, especially the fact that she specifically labelled who took the scans she was showing in her slides.

I will let her share on here the questions she is left with if she thinks this is a good forum, incl. a coat of arms!

[Marie Léger-St-Jean (marielsj.bsky.social) @Marie_LSJ]

@UCLSpecColl Libri described the copy as containing annotations in Kepler's own handwriting, but is that true?

Should we believe Libri the renowned paleographer or Libri the forger?

Next up: @alextheknitter on her own model of transmission based on her review of 41 models (25 from book history and 16 from information and library science)

@alextheknitter @yuri_c_anjos @SHARPorg @RobertDarnton @sureed67 And when @LKFiss asks about performance because of her research on musical theatre, @alextheknitter clarifies that orality is beyond the scope of her model since "information" is pretty broad, so she needed to narrow it down...

Oups, followed the wrong thread...

@sikandar_bubb I'm surprised to see 2 books printed in Strasbourg on @yuri_c_anjos's slide containing 3 title pages!

He explains that that's where Arnold Berliner, calligraphy teacher, was based!

Here's an example of his works from @GallicaBnF: https://t.co/95E3GAUoFp

[Marie Léger-St-Jean (marielsj.bsky.social) @Marie_LSJ]

Here's where I am!

@yuri_c_anjos is up next, talking about handwriting manuals in 19th-century France, an untapped source to understand how handwriting was viewed in a world of print.

I'm now going to look at the pretty title pages 🙂

[Marie Léger-St-Jean (marielsj.bsky.social) @Marie_LSJ]

I'm at the @britishlibrary for a seminar on textual bibliography for modern foreign languages.

Really interesting: Karima Gaci (@UniversityLeeds) tried in her PhD to find solutions to teaching French verb-related grammar now in past textbooks!

Spoiler: she couldn't...

[Marie Léger-St-Jean (marielsj.bsky.social) @Marie_LSJ]

@sikandar_bubb @yuri_c_anjos @GallicaBnF @laBnF @Datawrapper Can anyone help @yuri_c_anjos search the *Bibliographie de la France*? wants to compare what it lists as being published w/ what was preserved at @laBnF

Throwing in another wrench: David Bellos's article about how the *Bibliographie* is itself incomplete https://t.co/ngcVuhQmBH
