Anyone particularly confident with early modern paleography?? This is such a lovely suggestion about readers' multilingual interactions with early prints, and the Seven Sages in particular!

Finally recovered from the joyful exhaustion (and covid!) of #IMC2024 (hence the belated post) and already looking forward to 2025! The brilliant panels, organised by @bmeb.bsky.social, included papers from Ida Toth, @janebonsall.bsky.social, Jutta Eming, Ramani Chandramohan, Ruth Avon Bernuth.

It's great to be able to share what I've been working on for the last year (though still very much in progress!)! 😀 If you're interested in digital humanities work, #medieval manuscript studies, or the 'Seven Sages' tradition, please have a look around - I'd love to get your thoughts on this!

Some exciting news: the project's database is now publically visible! 👀 Though still in process, we are really excited to share the beta version of the site - hopefully a useful tool for studying the Seven Sages/Dolopathos/Sindibad manuscript tradition! 🤓 db.seven-sages-of-rome.org/index.php/Ma...

Feeling just a little *too* cheerful this week? Join our reading group on Friday for some very sad stories about some very good dogs, as we compare versions of the ‘faithful hound’ tale from different parts of the #medieval Seven Sages tradition!

We hold a monthly virtual reading group exploring different versions of the Seven Sages tradition! Tomorrow's discussion of the Hebrew text will include: inexplicable ageism; analogues for the Tristan-as-beggar fidelity trick; and what ✨magic spells✨ are most useful when committing robbery. Join us!
