Just had the realisation that the symbol ‘ß’ started life as a ligature between long ‘ſ’ and rounded ‘s’ I’m sure this is basic knowledge for Germanists but as a Gallicist it’s damn cool 📷: BnF D2-1853, p. 39

It's possible the Gospels were used at the earliest consecrations of English kings, in the kingdom of Kent in the early 7th century. The King has requested their presence at the Coronation, tying the ceremony to the most ancient origins of English Christianity

We had a wonderful time @OxMedGradConf this week! The conference saw two of our DPhil students (@_JackNunn @DowsMillerSeb) give papers on their research. Thank you to all the organising committee, and especially to Ramani Chandramohan who was a significant part of that effort!

What better way to end the #CROSSREADS workshop on abbreviation than with some abbreviations “in the wild” in the funerary inscriptions in @MertonCollege chapel! This one is a perfect example of the complexities we talked about in the sessions Now on to @OxMedGradConf!

Now on to @OxMedGradConf!

It’s shaping up to be an exciting week! First, I get to be a part of the #CROSSREADS workshop on abbreviation at @MertonCollege, where I’ll talk about the Merton bestiary 🦁⬇️ Then, there’s the @OxMedGradConf, where I’m presenting on authorship 📖 Can’t wait! #Medieval
