Paperbacks!

@GeorgyKantor @Madz_Grant From my perspective, it would be a bit like complaining about 'math' teaching in this country: I can understand the points made, but it doesn't inspire confidence in the speaker's command of the details.

@GeorgyKantor @Madz_Grant Also the E is usually different: equality here, equity there. (Obviously the broader aims are similar, but the nature of guidance is often quite different.)

@HugoGye @TheEconomist Oooh, missed that! Congratulations!!

The conclusion to the great Stefan Collini's piece in the LRB on the British university crisis (the whole article very much worth reading). https://t.co/FQsZbkThiA

@fritzfelgentreu @abw317 @ArmandDAngour @AntigoneJournal In der Kirche gilt die Ausdrucksweise Ciceros allerdings nicht als Goldstandard; wichtiger ist das Vorbild der Kirchenväter (wovon nicht alle Muttersprachler waren).

@DrMichaelBonner Literally one of the main reasons I became a medievalist: went to Greece dreaming of the Classical world, but then saw Mystras. Magical.

@LawrenceOP A wonderful saint, certainly, but last I checked his archiepiscopate was 959–88.

@si_rubinstein Big, Biggar, Rubinstein? 😉

@DrMichaelBonner He likes to make sweeping assertions based on a very particular reading of the sources. On strictly source-critical terms, the book is pretty hit-and-miss. As an evocation of the era, there's much to be said for it.
