Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Historian: Some call those years the Dark Ages but in reality that was a time of great intellectual ferment.

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a manel at a conference, workshop, or symposium in Italian Studies, I would likely have enough funding to organize a two-day conference on the persistence of manels in Italian Studies, inclusive of sumptuous meals for all participants.

A book of anagrams based on the names of Neapolitan noblewomen by Giambattista Basile. Making a living as a poet is tough! #earlymodern

I just submitted the review—forthcoming in the next issue of "Quaderni d'Italianistica"—to a book I truly enjoyed when I first read it and was later offered to review. How nice is it when it happens? #skystorians #earlymodern

Maybe one of the reasons there are so many unhinged academics is that in order to keep your job, you’re constantly required to tout yourself as a Scholar of World-Historical Significance, even as your office’s ceiling tiles slowly dislodge themselves to fall on your head.

TIL about Pietro da Rombulo, a merchant from 15th-century Sicily who traveled to Ethiopia, India & China. In 1450, Rombulo was a diplomat on a historic visit of Ethiopian ambassadors to Italy. We only know about him because humanist Pietro Ranzano interviewed him in Naples. #medievalsky #skystorians

Fellow #skystorians, what are your favorite essays/readings to problematize periodization labels such as "Renaissance" and #earlymodern? I'm looking to revamp my suggested readings on my syllabi re: periodization

Take your dragon out for a fly. This is an #earlymodern advice (from Athanasius Kircher), on how to and when to use your private #dragon to make an impression. The image is part of Kircher's 1678 "Mundus Subterraneus" (access: www.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/view/bsb1... ), and ... 1/2

Just submitted the form for a new #earlymodern graduate course that will feature a ton of book history, forgery studies, and critical theory. Fingers crossed it gets accepted! If it is, it will be taught in Italian Studies and as a seminar within UofT's Book History & Print Culture program 🥰
