I was fortunate to be among the founding editors of EAPS w. Cynthia Brokaw and Peter Kornicki. Glad to see it is still going strong. In this issue I contribute a review of a book with an important mission but that shows some of the signs of what has gone wrong in academic publishing

Come on, Belgium. Play like Sunzi tonight. We're up against one of the big states, one that hasn't lost in 35 games and that has so far not allowed any team to score against them. One goal is already a plus, but there may be ways to go for more with Master Garcia. 加油!

Aber: Wir brauchen einen neuen Parkplatz ... denn 'meine' Zeit @univie.ac.at endet und damit mein Zugriff auf den Webspace. D.h.: Wir suchen dringend (!) einen Host, der ein ziemlich großes Blog migriert und längerfristig zugänglich macht ... Vielleicht @dehypotheses.bsky.social ???

Nothing to see here? Well, this is a slow moving 🧵 for #skystorians and others about #eyeglasses of the past, about how to read in the past, where to buy eyeglasses, and how to do with them in general. The hashtag is #HowToDoWithGlassesInThePast Let's roll.

RIP Stephen Owen. 35 years ago I crossed the pond for the first time. I was delighted to take classes on poetry from the beginnings, the early medieval period, to the Tang and Qing, 5 in all, with the inimitable Steve Owen. Steve radiated the joy of research and the pleasure he took in writing.

This manuscript by Anselmus Faust, dated 1612, is the oldest surviving European manual on bookbinding. Written in Latin & Dutch, it was created for the St Bernard's Abbey near Antwerp. What makes it especially unique is its rare dos à dos binding: 2 books bound back-to-back, sharing a single spine.

I learned so much from attending the workshop for the full release of the Digitizing Vietnam Hub and Platform at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University last weekend. It was rewarding to see that IMMARKUS was integrated in the workflow for creating these full-text collections.

Time flew by, but it was a real treat to visit Vancouver. It was great catching up with old and meeting new friends, planning ongoing and future projects, and attending some great @asianstudies.org panels from which I learned a great deal. Txs all, looking fwd to meeting again in Boston next year.

Want to know more about how Koreans wrote classical Chinese (also called literary Sinitic)? Join us at KU Leuven on March 20 for a book presentation of Yannick Bruneton's Grand manuel de chinois classique Hanmun and a workshop on the question of the periodization of the Koryǒ dynasty.
