My work at the moment is funded by a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions postdoc fellowship, and I've posted some updates in this thread on the project's own bsky @thaisisproject.bsky.social - will probably cross-post some here, but do follow if you're interested in all things 'harlot saints'!

The Cotton Genesis (Cotton MS Otho B VI, 5th century) was one of the tragic victims of the Ashburnham House fire in 1731. Today, we’re delighted to release new multispectral imaging of the manuscript, allowing us to read its texts for the first time in hundreds of years. www.bl.uk/stories/blog...

Rescued from the flames: the Cotton Genesis restored to life

New multispectral imaging at the British Library has helped us to read one of the earliest surviving illuminated Bibles.

The student-led group Mearcstapan (united by their desire for inclusive, progressive medievalism) have published their first zine: The Wordhoard! It's beautifully produced and chocked full of creative-critical responses, articles, and even a 'which Old English poetry codex are you?' quiz.

How will UK HE recover from this? Disastrously shortsighted decision-making that is dismantling the very infrastructure of the humanities, and threatening the livelihoods of scholars and teachers who deserve so much better. Senior managers, what are you doing?

East Asian Studies is being gutted at Sheffield - all staff at risk with 8.6 FTE proposed to go (a third of us). Biggest cuts in Chinese and Japanese Studies. We’ll be taking a few days to process. Solidarity to Materials and Chemistry colleagues who are also dealing with similarly bad news.
