I'm looking at Antisemitic stereotypes in Spanish comics and children's literature for my current article. Here, in a 1974 comic, is the villain "Salomon", complete with hooked nose, who is distinguished by his avarice, cowardice and low cunning. #twitterstorians #medievaltwitter

H-O-W is it possible there’s been all this coverage of what @ISASaxonists said at #RaceB4Race, and the genius title of her paper has not been more of a thing? I only discovered it because I followed her on Academia.

So, Twitter linguists, can anyone shed light on this mystery item in the Museum of London stores?

[Georg von Risen @RisenVon]

There are some “hidden” features in @BDLSS that add a lot of powerful functionality. Here’s a quick run-down of some of my favourites...

So, it’s nearly Kol Nidre and time to annul all of our vows (כָּל נִדְרֵי)! This resonantly meaningful legal formula is often a colourful set-piece page in Hebrew manuscripts. The image below is from the Leipzig Machzor, c. 1310 (https://t.co/wUdLBbxPt6)

Prenup in Hebrew dated 1048 CE, in which the bride Fāʾiza makes her husband Ṭoviyya promise to give up his bad ways and drinking buddies after marriage—and to not buy a female slave without her express permission! From the Cairo Genizah, at Cambridge: https://t.co/nKdXoutAaq

@KFDuggan @b_hawk @Stewart_Brookes @lisafdavis @suzettevhaaren @ParkerLibCCCC Just so they could move past that awkward phase and on to the glories of the 14th century.
