@lafayettepod @histodons @medievalists I live in New Zealand. I was able to follow my ancestry back through various Normans to Henry 111 of England, thus on to Eleanor D’Aquitaine - Savoy - Charlemagne (with a billion other descendants). Years ago I visited Eleanor, Henry 11 and Richard Lionheart’s resting place in the Loire valley. If I’d known I’d have said hi granddad and grandma (22 times removed). #history #historyofknowledge #books #bookstodon #thesocialcontract

Hello All,

this will be the first of two #introduction s. The one in which I am an #earlymodern #histodon – one of the #earlymodons (emphasis on "ly") that is.

I do research, teach and care for my students at RWTH Aachen University.

My interests are in the #reformazing history of cities, earlymodern #urbanhistory, #historyofknowledge and especially cultures and religious knowledge of early modern artisans.

I'm also a nerd with a family, hobbies and political opinions. More about that later.

Since I (also) switched to hcommons.social a few days ago, here is my third #introduction!

I am a PhD student in Islamic and Arabic Studies in Münster, Germany, working on practices of evidence and strategies of verification of prophetic descent in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century North Africa. In particular, I am examining texts on a particular descent community claiming prophetic descent: the descendants of ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Jilānī, from a translocal perspective.

Also: I am excited to see something growing here that I didn't think was possible a few months ago. Glad to be here with you all!

fyi: I have enabled automatic deletion of posts after one month.

#Introduction: I go by Atlas on the internet, and I research and write about #personalknowledgemanagement (or #PKM) from a historical perspective – particularly #notetaking.

I have wider interests in #bookhistory #manuscripts #historyofknowledge #intellectualhistory #libraryhistory #digitalhumanities #medieval #earlymodern #renaissance

I'm not a professional, just somebody who adds more to my Zotero library than I can ever hope to read.
