What is your favourite medieval women's name?
guidobaldine.bsky.social Kathrin Kininger @guidobaldine.bsky.social · 2d
Frauen im Spätmittelalter heißen ja meistens Katharina, Elisabeth oder Margarethe. Ausgefallene Namen sind eher selten. So zumindest der Urkundenbefund. Deshalb heute #NameOfTheDay: Adyatica. Zu finden auf #HHStA AUR 19735 aus dem Jahr 1413.
Ausschnitt einer mittelalterlichen Urkunde mit Text, der den Namen Adyatica enthält.

I wrote my PhD thesis on 15th century professors, and i`ll never stop smiling about the countless complaints about academic life in their letters and notebooks. "I`m overcommited" "I should have finished my dissertation before joining my order", "I lost count how many things i`ve written". :D

We always think of monks and canons being all so dutiful. But they were only human, after all.

Today is the feast of Saint Clement, who was martyrised by being thrown into the ocean with an anchor tied around his neck. Consequently, he was one of the most widely popular saints to invoke against dangers at sea.

[Syddansk Universitetsbibliotek RARA M 15, f.269r]
Woodcut vignette from the 1492 edition of the Lübeck Passionael, printed by Steffen Arndes, a collection of saints' legends. The woodcut shows Saint Clement in papal garb, mitre and cross staff, holding a largre anchor in his left hand. He is standing in a landscape of low hillocks, with a city in the far background, seen against the sky.

Singing "Dies Irae" from Verdi's requiem, with Scientifiques en Rebellion @scientifiquesenrebellion.fr and the fantastic Orchestre de Nouveau Monde orchestredunouveaumonde.fr was a perfect way to take notion of government and private sector inaction during the 10 years since the Paris Agreement.

This explains why British Library staff are on strike

The union says - managers take home up to £170k with £15k bonuses, while staff offered below-inflation pay rise

Meanwhile, frontline staff take abuse for the massive data breach - which managers failed to foresee

A tile with well-preserved surface impressions: three distinct outline of shoes with hobnail patterns in the center, a animal paw prints nearby, and a rectangular maker's stamp with worn lettering and an imprint of a foot. And finger lines. The tile surface shows additional small impressions and chips.
