Hmm, so a twenty minute paper should be about 2000 words (especially as many of my audience are second-language English speakers and don't need me gobb(itt)ing away at fast speed... so, maybe, just maybe, i shouldn't have just added what appears to be a 600 word excersus into an interesting aside ;)

I'm presenting in Cologne on Thursday about the production of a 9th-century #Lombard #lawbook (Vatican, BAV, MS Vat. Lat. 5359) and the interactions of the #scribes who shared the writing process!

#Communicators or all interested parties 😀

I installed the #Metatext (free, open source) app for Ipad. No ads or tracking. It's very good.

It's a seamless experience to read the "Posts and Replies". Fluid, no work at all. It greatly improves the #mastodon experience.

I recommend it for those who interact in depth. Give it a try.

If you ever came across discrepancies in terms of numbers given in the PGM, this might help:

Somebody here asked me a question related to a scribe working at his desk. In case others are interested in how this practice is visualized in manuscripts (and what it tells us), this older blog post I wrote may be of interest:

Below are some images from that post (shelfmarks mentioned in post).

Hey #Scribes! Today’s the last day for #NaNoWriMo22 so get your last minute writing in now! Don’t forget to update your final wordcount!

Hey #Scribes out there! We’re almost at the end of #NaNoWriMo22 and it’s time to do some last minute sprinting (if you’ve fallen behind) or smug superiority (if you’re right on track or ahead of schedule). Good luck, and happy writing!

Nov 25: Feast of St Catherine of Alexandria, one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers & patron saint of, inter alia, #scribes, #scholars, #librarians, #archivists, #students, #philosophers, #girls / unwed #women, #lawyers. Her reputation for learning & wisdom led to her patronage of librarians, & anyone associated with knowledge; her debating skill & persuasive language led to her patronage of lawyers. #Manuscripts #MedievalManuscripts #Medievodons @bookhistodons @medievodons

Hey #scribes, have a happy #thanksgiving and don’t forget to make some time between dinner and dessert to get a few words in towards your #NaNoWriMo22 project! Today’s goal is to end at just over 40k!

Wherever ye may be in the fediverse, #StarTrekBooks people, especially fellow #authors #writers #scribes #hacks or whatever you call yourselves… #StarTrek scribblers past and present, let us all reconnect here and become mutual follows.

On Friday I will be speaking of watermarks and letterlocking in the missives sent from the castle of Raseborg in 1389-1521. The paper is part of the annual seminar of SKAS, the Spciety of Medieval Archaeology in Finland (in Finnish). #Raseborg #medieval #histodons #watermarks #letterlocking #missives #communication #scribes #15thCentury #informationmanagement #Tallinn #Finland
