Early modern musicology friends: is there a convenient guide, published or otherwise, to pre-modern musical notation? It’d be of enormous help. TIA #skystorians #earlymodern #musichistory

Nyboder in Copenhagen, public housing built for the common sailors of Christian IV’s navy. Most of the development was rebuilt sometime later and a 2nd storey added to each building…except for this one remaining single-storey unit on Sankt Pauls Gade. #earlymodern #skystorians

I am so proud of and honored by this award. Working with the wonderful editors at EH, Mark Hersey and Stephen Brain, was transformative for me as an author and as an editor. My deep thanks, too, to the extraordinary readers who saw what I was trying to do and helped me to do it better. #earlymodern

Spotted at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo: Sandra Gamarra Heshiki’s collage of European portraits painted over with Indigenous South American pottery, collapsing longstanding divides between European high art and Indigenous ‘anthropology’ in museums. #earlymodern

George's death is told as an #Easter story in @thorntonsbooks.bsky.social. He and his younger brother, Christopher, repaired their relationship on Easter eve, before taking communion together on Easter Sunday. George then died on Easter Monday which Thornton refers to as Black Monday. #EarlyModern 🗃️

Photo of a memorial plaque to the Wandesfords, including George Wandesford at the top, at St Michael's, Kirklington.
3 April 1651 #OTD Alice’s brother, George Wandesford, was buried in St Michael’s Church, Kirklington. His body was brought from Catterick ‘by coach to Kirklington in the company of all the gentry in that part of Yorkshire with a greater lamentation and sorrow’ (Book 1). #EarlyModern 🗃️

In early modern Italy many medicines, especially patent ones, came with a little sheet informing patients of how to use them, when, and for what. Medical regulation came out of state offices and guild government #earlymodern #histmed

#earlymodern literature peeps: this dude has an early modern drama PhD and is moaning that his advisor "read every tragedy written in English until 1640" because almost all of them were "garbage," even though the process was "gruelling but instructive."
