If any medievalists are still here: anyone attending the Leeds IMC, I will be driving from East Anglia via Cambridge on the Sunday. I have two PhD students in the car so far, but if anyone else would like to join us for a very cheap ride to Leeds, then get in touch!

The incredible story of how two British academics, including our very own Professor Nicholas Vincent, discovered that a 'copy' of the Magna Carta held by Harvard University was in fact genuine, making it 'one of the world's most valuable documents.' bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I’m teaching an advanced online class in medieval Latin from May 27 to July 3 as part of the Marco Summer Language Program. This would be good preparation for the Toronto Level II exam in September, but of course it would have other uses too. #medievalLatin #medievalTwitter

We're pleased to announce that registration is NOW OPEN for the 2025 Marco Summer Language Program, now featuring Latin AND Syriac! For full info about each course, including meeting times and how to register, visit marco.utk.edu/summerlanguage…! #medievaltwitter #ClassicsTwitter

Today is the feast of the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary, 'Lady Day'. In England it was once the spring quarter-day, when accounts were settled and servants took new jobs; until 1752 it was also the start of the New Year. A day for new beginnings, new life in more ways than one.
