Vor einigen Jahren hat die Politikerin Marina Weisband offengelegt, dass sie an ME/CFS erkrankt ist. Jeder öffentliche Auftritt gehe mit einer Woche Bettlägrigkeit einher, sagt sie im Interview mit NDR Kultur.

„Bei den meisten Ärzten, bei denen ich war, musste ich erklären, was ME/CFS ist. Das …

@jasonwdean.com Hi! I'm not sure if I qualify, but I work with Rare Books and Special Collections a lot and I think some people may profit from finding me as part of your starter pack :)

The Clavis Historicorum Antiquitatis Posterioris has (apparently without notice) changed the URLs to its database without a redirect from the old URLs.
The IDs are unchanged, so fixing this on #Wikidata was a non-issue (www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidat...)

Another funny slip of the pen: Vienna, ÖNB, Theol. gr. 294. The scribe replaced Μυκήνη and Μυκήνας (Mycene) with μὴ κύνη and μὴ κύνας (no dogs).

What a way to start a review of a critical edition! I still struggle to properly translate the pithy title of Skutsch and Kroll (@wilhelmkroll.bsky.social)'s article "In Firmicum Sittelianum emendationum centuriae duae primae" into German or English properly.
Suggestions?

And here is another 11th century example from Vienna, Austrian National Library, Theol. gr. 294 (Diktyon 71961, Rahlfs 9078), f. 32v.

"Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

First time I came across round brackets in a Greek ms. Oxford, Bodleian Library, Roe 4 (Diktyon 48387, Rahlfs 1125), f. 9v (16th century).

A slip of the pen can sometimes have funny implications. Like wenn ἐλέῳ θαρρεῖ ("he is strong in his mercy") becomes ἐλαίῳ θαρρεῖ ("he is strong in his olive tree").

Just came across this former Christian amusement park, the "Holy Land Experience", which had a "Scriptorium". Closed in 2020, demolished in 2023. They also had Greek manuscripts.

Does anybody know what happened to those? Were they sold or housed somewhere else?

Wann immer wieder jemand Auto-Attacken pauschal auf die "Ausländer" schiebt, verweist bitte auf Mannheim 2025.
Gestern Abend veröffentlichte @exifrecherche.bsky.social, dass es Verbindungen des Attentäters von #Mannheim in extrem rechte Szene -auch nach #Thüringen- gibt. Auf Foto ist nicht nur Täter bei rechtem Aufmarsch 2018 in Berlin zu sehen, sondern auch der Thüringer #AfD-MdL Wolfgang Lauerwald. #thread

"Lesefrüchte", "Miscellanea", "Observationes aliquot" ...
We should just come back to old tested academic traditions. Articles should have titles like "Some More Thoughts on Medieval Kingship" (87 pages), "Merovingian Gaul. A History" (3 pages, no footnotes), and "An Interesting Pendant from Paris" (unknown pagination, published in village-based journal).
