Writing on my boy Gregory and here the poor people of Naples want to change their newly-appointed bishop. Please pause to appreciate the level of shade Gregory throws: 'we congratulate you for having tested him out so thoroughly, during just a few days'.

It's a no, then.

Brilliant news for early medievalists.

In case you missed it, this collection of articles is now available online, & I am very thrilled to be a part of.

Looking forward to the four-hour epic historical drama based on the Royal Game of Ur in 2027.

We have launched a new call for candidates who will spend 12 months at the Centre for Research on Ancient Civilizations (Uniwersytet Warszawski) working on a project of their choice (and holding the title of CRAC fellow, which I hope you appreciate:). See: bit.ly/3xwuWkY

I'm delighted to have an article in this collection edited by Cordelia Heß and Gustavs Strenga, which gave me the opportunity to write about medievalism in modern Denmark. The book is open access, & can be found here: degruyter.com/document/doi/1….

That's a wrap! Final changes to Orbis Romanus submitted, together with the approval of the manuscript for publication, which is scheduled for 14th May 2024. Very much looking forward to knowing what you think of it!! 🤓 global.oup.com/academic/produ…

Paweł Nowakowski, '‘Pray, do not focus on their barbarous tongue.’ The written and spoken languages in monasteries of early Byzantine Syria'. At Warsaw Late Antique Seminar on Thursday, 4.45 p.m. CET, in person and on Zoom. See also our website: lateantiqueseminar.historia.uw.edu.pl

Your attention please! I am having a little launch for my book after a seminar paper by Emily Corran on Thursday 2 May at 7pm, at the IHR, London. Please come - to both seminar and launch preferably - and let me know here if you are so we can plan.

What if we thought of the changes in late antique urban politics not as a sign of 'polis' (in itself a term not useful throughout the Broad Mediterranean) decline but instead as broadening political participation? And can monks be part of urban politics?

Officially out in one week, but apparently copies are already being shipped!

But it is the publisher which is the unnecessary information! 😵‍💫
