@Tim_Rayborn @Bandcamp @ToriaJL I’m constantly telling people the same thing! We need a mass early music migration to Bandcamp.

[Mara Winter @winter_mara]

Really nice to see some more early music discourse showing up on @Bandcamp! Thanks for writing this @ToriaJL

@Bandcamp @ToriaJL Thank you so much for this brilliant reflection, @ToriaJL .

A beautifully spiralled Grove snail in Galway today. DNA analysis of Irish specimens suggests that these snails' origins lie in the eastern Pyrenees & that they may have been introduced to Ireland by Mesolithic hunter gathers, possibly as a food source https://t.co/qOtrMsQSXv

Seeing this “tubilustrium” reminds me of the depictions of the bronze-age Lur in Scandinavian rock art:

[ArcheoLogica ⛏️⛏️🏛️ @ArcheoLogica]

#23maggio Nell’antica #Roma si celebrava il “tubilustrium”, rito in cui i sacerdoti Salii suonavano le tubae sacre, costruite originariamente da Vulcano ed utilizzate nelle operazioni militari.

Interesting looking harp, there.

Look at this charming Decretum Gratiani XXIII B 4 from first half of the 13th century from southern Europe! The painter did not have time to complete the color decoration of the individual illuminations. And I think they can be used as unique relaxation coloring books. Try it!

@atlanticbaroque Greetings to you too! 👋🙏

[Medieval Manuscripts @BLMedieval]

Could this be Henry VIII?

Mosaic of the Three Graces, with intersecting
circles forming a four petal rosette. Made in the 3rd-4th century in the Roman city of Barcino (nowadays Barcelona).
I got to see it in person yesterday at the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia

[Mara Winter @winter_mara]

@GeomeTribal @archaeologyart Beautiful, thank you 🙏

[Mara Winter @winter_mara]

@Tim_Rayborn I figured this would be a better way to waste time than scrolling through the ever-demeaning “thrilled to announce” season on FB...

Logging into this thing for the first time in 2 years. Hello twitter friends, what's new here?

[Mara Winter @winter_mara]

@dr_xpi So beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[Medieval Manuscripts @BLMedieval]

We love miscellanies!

It's a catch-all definition for manuscripts that contain texts on a variety of subjects.

You never quite know what you're going to find.

Here's an example from Arundel MS 248, our #ManuscriptOfTheDay

This is a fantastic list for anyone looking to expand their palette of choral repertoire. It already features some great performances that got me obsessed with vocal polyphony years ago from Sequentia and “Le Mystère Des Voix Bulgares”. 😍 thank you for this @TommasiniNYT

[Mara Winter @winter_mara]

Thanks for including Discreet's new release by Reinier van Houdt on @nightafternight !

[Sarah J Biggs @SarahJBiggs]

I know it’s been asked before, but why is the standing assumption among medievalists that any ‘unknown artist’ must have been a man? I’m as guilty of that as anyone; when I imagine a scriptorium it is full of monks. I’m going to switch that up from now on: https://t.co/Giu2gljefv
