An opened early medieval manuscript from Lorsch.
It's always a personal highlight to visit the University Library at the end of the semester, but this time we were shown a real treat: Cod. Pal. lat. 864, containing excerpts from Gregory of Tours' Histories and Fredegar's Chronicles - written in Lorsch around 800! #MedievalSky

Freeë mech, dass déi nei Ausgab vun der "Hémecht" elo och a physescher Form ukomm ass. Ënner anerem mam Gilles Genot zuer "Herrschaft über das Herzogtum Luxemburg im 15. Jahrhundert".
Ich habe die Ehre, ganz sanft in die aktive Hochmittelalter-Forschung reintegriert zu werden. Ein bisschen Werbung für diejenigen, die sich dort stets intensiv zu Hause fühlen:
Am 28.01.26 wird Prof. Dr. Philipp Gassert (Universität Mannheim) in der Reihe "Heidelberger Vorträge zur Landesgeschichte" über "Demokratische Neuanfänge in Baden-Württemberg 1946/47" sprechen; mehr Infos gibt es auf der FPI-Homepage:

The Internet Medieval Sourcebook is 30 year old today. with an inception date of 26th January 1996.
It turns out that although not in any sense breaking new scholarship, it remains my most longstanding contribution to the republic of letters.

Oh, I had almost forgotten about this one. Delighted to see it's still used in class, but I'll have to draw you a new (coloured) version at some point!
Fingers crossed, James!
This is a really interesting post, which complicates what I thought we knew in the best possible ways!
