Mostly trying to understand the #Timaeus.
Warburgian, #Begriffsgeschichte, #alphanumeric systems ( علم الحروف، ابجد), diagrams, armillary stuff, #medieval #mss, Graeco-Arabica, #Islamic studies…to the tune of #BWV988 @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social #CIUHCT
Casting the net: I'm looking for #Arabic #manuscripts on #navigation that contain images/tables like these. Grateful for any leads.
أنا باحث عن #مخطوطات عربية في مجال الملاحة تحتوي على صور/جداول كهذه. شكرًا لأي دلائل!

And also: Palestine inaction (i.e. @10dowingstreet.bsky.social @ukparliament.parliament.uk) is an abuse of power!

People empower government :: gov't ignores people to support genocide :: ergo, abuse of power.

Speaking of changing names... wouldn't it be good to go back to the earlier English usage, and call "America" the whole continent? Most languages use America like this anyway, no? We can turn the tables on the #Monroe_Doctrine somehow... America para todos los Americanos güey, incluidos los gringos!

I keep wondering, what if on those huge public screens, like in #Piccadilly and in Tokyo or NY they showed on a loop #Chaplin Modern Times? Wouldn't that contribute to public sanity a bit? 🤔 24-hour Modern Times streaming…

Grateful & thrilled to spend some weeks working @EFEO_Paris 谢谢! comparing #Arabic Portuguese & Southeast-Asian #nautical texts and maps on the Bay of Bengal (oh dear, the old Burmese toponyms! 🤦‍♂️🥴)
