I am excited to share that I've received the 2025 @LoneMedievalist Prize for Scholarly Outreach for my work on the Trinity Commission (2018-19)! I am grateful to this project and my collaborators for first sparking my love for public-facing medieval studies.

[Kristina Kummerer @kmkummerer]

Inspired by my undergrad thesis on a 15th c. choir book (now @Trinity_U Coates Library M2149.L4), the Trinity Commission sought to create a new choral composition based on a medieval Lenten chant, using this new work to share a long-neglected medieval codex with the world.

Some of my favourite doodles in the margins this week. 10/10 would keep me entertained between chants during Mass. (#Colmar Bibliothéque des Dominicains ms 312) #medievaltwitter https://t.co/BNJ4f9vkHK
