Still obsessing about the Ten Plagues in medieval Haggadot. Here's the Fourth Plague in the Sarajevo Haggadah. These animals aren't just wild, they are WILD!

Absolutely brilliant afternoon Tyler School of Art and Architecture Temple University celebrating the opening of the student exhibit, The Art of the Book! I delivered a keynote address about the Beauvais Missal and their leaf, which is included in the show. #BeauvaisMissalSelfie tyler.temple.edu/events/art-boo…

The UK mandate to publish #OA has unintended consequences and the financial models don't really work just yet. Publishing costs money, and someone has to bear those costs. If not the reader, there aren't a lot of other options: author, publisher, author's institution, donor.

I'm preparing a lecture on illuminated Haggadot and am obsessed with this illustration of the first two plagues (rivers of blood, and frogs) in the Rylands Sephardi Haggadah (John Rylands Research Institute and Library Hebrew MS 6) digitalcollections.manchester.ac.uk/view/MS-HEBREW…

Happy Eclipse Day! May your skies be clear and your glasses properly protective. To celebrate, I'm re-reading 'Nightfall' by Asimov - an amazing short story (later a novel) that Asimov published when he was only 21. Read the original here: archive.org/details/Astoun…
