Our annual Noel O’Connell Memorial Lecture, jointly organised with the Irish Literary Society, will be given this year by Nollaig Ó Muraíle on 'James Hardiman and his manuscript collection in the British Library’ at the Irish Cultural Centre, Hammersmith, on Thursday, 28 May 2026 at 7.30 p.m.

Brittany to Auxerre: Networks of Knowledge along the Loire and Beyond : Find an Expert : The University of Melbourne <p> Christianity dominates the intellectual and literary culture of the early medieval Latin West, and central to this culture are the biblical commentaries, glosses, and glossaries that facilitated the study and interpretation of scripture. Long dismissed as mere patchworks of patristic sources, these works, both anonymous and attributed, are now recognised as creative and innovative contributions to an interconnected tradition of scholarship — and as invaluable witnesses to the intellectual activity of their times and places of production. This project will investigate the networks of knowledge that connected the major religious and intellectual centres of ninth- and tenth-century Francia, with a particular focus on the Loire and Burgundy regions, home to celebrated houses such as Fleury, Auxerre, Tours, Orléans, and Reims. </p> <p> The successful candidate will take as their starting point the <em>Glossae Floriacenses (currently being edited by the primary supervisor),</em> attested at Fleury and Reims and containing Old Breton and Old English glosses. This work provides compelling early evidence of the regional connections under investigation. The candidate will focus on Genesis as a biblical book that attracted an especially substantial and varied corpus of commentary and glosses, thus making it an ideal case study for identifying textual relationships and moments of creative intervention. In addition to this compilation, the project will survey a wide range of published, in-progress, and as-yet-unstudied exegetical compilations to trace the transmission, adaptation, and innovation of material across this geographically and intellectually rich landscape. </p> <p> The candidates should have a strong knowledge of Latin, and knowledge of palaeography, medieval textual culture, and textual transmission would be an advantage. </p> <p> <strong>Notes to interested applicant</strong>: please attach a statement of interest to your CV document when submitting your Expression of Interest. </p>

I’d love to hear the etymology of ‘booyakasha’!

Niche question for Welsh medievalists. While testing the prototype of a new TOC creator that links our data to IIIF resources, using the daunting Liber Landavensis as an example, I quickly got confused. The mystery of the absent f. 56v was easily solved (it's mislabelled) but ...

Same! All I've heard today are rejections!

Thank you!

We all know I have the wrong kind of patronymic for Rannís success, but still - fuck them!

Got to love national funding bodies waiting for European funders to announce results so you can get two rejections in the space of an hour
