Just found a digitised version of British Library MS Add 8873 (Collectio Brittanica) available at BL's website. Genuinely over the moon. Made my day, week and year. #medievaltwitter

24 August is the feast of St Bartholomew, 'Bartlemas Day' - a late-summer holiday which was (and still is) the occasion for festive customs https://t.co/0xaXM81Z6g

[EPISCOPUS @EPISCOPUSorg]

Planning for #IMC2020? We're seeking 1)presenters for #EPSBrevia. 2)papers on bishop as a builder/bishop's buildings. May consider theme strand & approach bishop as as defining/rejecting borders. Might also consider the bishop as builder broadly. @PotBConf #MedievalTwitter

[EPISCOPUS @EPISCOPUSorg]

@PotBConf We're also seeing to sponsor/support panel proposals on bishops/secular clergy connected to the theme strand. Topics beyond Europe and sessions by/supporting early career researchers are encouraged! Email [email protected] before September 1st #MedievalTwitter @PotBConf

[Eleanor Parker @ClerkofOxford]

It's the 75th anniversary of 'A Canterbury Tale', which was released on 21 August 1944 - a strange and wonderful wartime film about pilgrimage, love, history, and the imaginative draw of the past. I wrote about it for @HistoryToday here: https://t.co/VvPeSA0ksY

[Eleanor Parker @ClerkofOxford]

Since it's the feast of Bernard of Clairvaux, here are a few pictures of the first Cistercian monastery in England: Waverley Abbey, founded in 1128 in a green valley beside the River Wey in Surrey. Its ruins are graceful, now home to water-birds instead of the 'white monks'.

[EPISCOPUS @EPISCOPUSorg]

In response to our CFP for @IMC_Leeds #IMC2020 we're seeking to fill a session on early medieval bishops as church builders. May include bishop as patron, hagiography, letter writing, etc. Got an idea, email [email protected] @PotBConf #BishopAsPatron

[Eleanor Parker @ClerkofOxford]

Today is the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, 'Lady Day in harvest'. An Anglo-Saxon version of one very popular legend about the end of Mary's life on earth: https://t.co/6bD5VNQ5md

[Louise J. Wilkinson @MedievalFemina]

Details from Monreale Cathedral - King William of #Sicily and probably the earliest image of Thomas Becket. #medieval #Becket2020
