...and so it begins!
Today marks the first working day of my @ERC_Research CoG-project #glossit
In the coming five years my team and I will investigate language contact and knowledge transfer visible in the early medieval glossing traditions on the Venerable #Bede and #Priscian

Fascinating to see these photos of almost 20 English coins from the early 10C found in recent excavations at the Palazzo della Rovere in Rome, in the middle of the early medieval Schola Saxonum. Work on-going! Photos and more details from here: youtu.be/8nQtFQbmKME?feature…

An amazing discovery by Prof Susan Rankin (and palaeographer Michael Gullick) shared in this afternoon’s Lyell Lecture!
This was completely unknown, and tells us a lot about the scribe and his connections.
Susan Rankin ends her Lyell lectures with one of the most dramatic “reveals” that I’ve ever seen — she tells us that her scribe R who added the musical notation to @bodleianlibs 775 is also the scribe of the Great Domesday Book!!! @richove leads the applause!

Happy #LibrariesWeek! My students were curious about what (some) libraries were like in the period that we've just been studying, so here are some early medieval library stats.
