Spread the word: zondag 5 oktober trekken wij de Rode Lijn in Amsterdam.

De verkiezingen komen eraan. Onze politiek voelt de druk, maar weigert nog steeds effectieve maatregelen te nemen tegen Israël’s genocide en illegale bezetting. Kom in actie!

Any medievalists planning on a session or paper at ICMS or IMC next year on late antiquity, Sidonius Apollinaris or wordplay?

It's proposal time!

Today is the feast of Sidonius Apollinaris, d. in the late 5th c. I hadn't really been paying attention since admiring his poetry as an undegrad and was surprised how many MSS of his works there are. Let's look at some copies of his letters.
