New book coming from @boydellandbrewer.bsky.social , ed. by @marcusmeer.bsky.social and me: a starry international cast of contributors exploring image-breaking in medieval politics and society (as well as religion) - a big, neglected topic with much to tell us.

Carlo Ginzburg has just passed away. There is little I can add in memory of a scholar of his stature. I'll recall only what he said during a fortunate conversation at the Betty Behrens Seminar in Cambridge: “Read everything. Your research path will find its way". And I live by that advice.

It was a great pleasure to meet the speakers and commentators last Friday. Thanks again to the GHIL‘s team for making it happen. I am looking forward to the next Medieval Germany Workshop in 2028 already!
#Throwback to last Friday! Thanks for a wonderful workshop on medieval Germany! 🏰

It was inspiring to get insights into so many different projects — from nuns' letters and Hildegard of Bingen to accounting records and the artistic world of Nuremberg.
