For those interested, ‘Publishing in a Medieval Monastery: The View from Twelfth-Century Engelberg’ by Ben Pohl is free to access until the 20th of July from Cambridge University Press.

‘This Element contributes to the burgeoning field of medieval publishing studies with a case study of the books produced at the Benedictine monastery of Engelberg under its celebrated twelfth-century abbot, Frowin (1143–78). Frowin was the first abbot of Engelberg whose book provision policy relied on domestic production serviced by an internal scribal workforce, and his tenure marked the first major expansion of the community's library. This Element's in-depth discussion of nearly forty colophons inscribed in the books made for this library during Frowin's transformative abbacy offers a fresh perspective on monastic publishing practice in the twelfth century by directing our view to a mode of publication that has received only limited attention in scholarship to date.’

I've just finished correcting the proofs of my @editionscg edition and translation of Troilus and Criseyde! As you can see, I did find a couple of things to correct.... I'm going to need new eyes now.

A gold and pendant inscribed with a "magical" Hebrew phrase has been declared treasure.

The jewel was discovered by a metal detectorist at Great Tey near Colchester, Essex, in August 2021.

79 this week from the wiglaf.org/vatican/2023/week7.
Includes a fascinating Caiazzo Missal in Beneventan, another Missal with polyphonic notation, a Ritual for Melfi, some 19th C letters and the usual Sermona, Sarabands and Saints lives. NB the Pal.gr collection added 10 MS, the first in years. All are online at Heidelberg, but the BAV has delayed

It is officially over. The manuscript of my edition/translation of Troilus and Criseyde has been sent to the publisher (Clasiques Garnier)!

Two years and a half of work, 800.067 characters (about 700 pages) and lots of headaches.

I think it's time to celebrate! @medievodons @histodons @bookstodon
