If you haven't renewed your card recently, you might need to do a little bit of admin in the registration office to have access to online orders, so I'd sugges making sure you have a photo ID and proof of your address with you.
I was able to consult Arundel 292 there last week, so the basics of ordering and fetching are working. They were using paper order slips last week, but apparently next month they should have an online order system set up.
Just published. My new book on Early English texts, including The Grave; on language, history, fiction, Magna Carta, script, and the date of the Tremulous Hand. @ArcHumanities — thank you!
Yesterday, someone asked me about progress on Book 3 & I had to be vague, so I went and checked. 49,300 words. But are they clean, well-organised words? Ah, well, let's not overdo the precision.
📢New book alert! 📕"The Old English Gnomic Poems Maxims I and Maxims II" ✍️Kazutomo Karasawa 📲Available: liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/book/10....#⃣#medievalsky#OldEnglish#academicsky#skybrarians#booksky#TOEBI#poetry
Yes, that'd be welcome!
It's a *long* time since I've looked at Rawl. poet. 175! I'll call it up and see if I can offer you anything (don't expect much comment on region beyond what others could offer!).
This is your reminder that thesaurus dot com is (almost certainly) using AI to generate thesaurus entries, and you should, if you can, use Merriam Webster to avoid accidentally destroying the planet via the fuckery machine.
An exciting book by @lauraashe.bsky.socialglobal.oup.com/academic/pro.... I think I once heard a sliver of this as a paper, and I suspect it’ll give us all much food for thought! (Also, if I can be a superficial codicologist for a moment, what a cover…)
MERG returns! The Middle English Reading Group, reading Troilus and Criseyde, Fridays 3-4pm in termtime.
