Found tucked into a copy of old German school edition of Augustus' Res Gestae by Richard Wirtz a typescript of the Vulgate text of II Corinthians 11.18-12.13, with the title of 'Der Tatenbericht des Apostels Paulus' (i.e. Paul's RG). The connection had not occurred to me before.

A moving ceremony today by His Holiness Pope Leo @Pontifex at the Vatican, recognising English Saint John Henry Newman as a Doctor of the Church. As the world feels increasingly divided, he reminds us that renewal comes from engaging with our differences, not rejecting them.
In a more confined space.
Today is the Feast of All Saints and is also the day that St John Henry Newman will be declared the 38th Doctor of the Church. Listen here as Fr George Bowen of the Brompton Oratory, London, gives a reflection on John Henry Newman on the Saints. As a particular inspiration, Fr…
Exciting news from Cambridge, where a donation has funded a permanent lectureship (“Assistant Professorship”) in the History of Knowledge Pre-1400. The only explicit restriction is “not medicine”, but it is in the Dept of History and Philosophy of Science. jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/53305/
What is it with cats named Larry?
Most researchers have nothing on Larry Richardson. Racking up more than 130 citations in 4 years, he seemed like a scientific superstar in the making. Except the studies were gibberish—and Larry is a cat. This “exercise in absurdity” is an eye-opening look at byzantine world of…
