Looking for a flat in London for September (flexible). Open to studios, 1-beds, or any nook where the heating works and there isn't much mold. As someone studying divine intervention and mystical revelations, I am starting to believe that finding something affordable might require both.

Dr Eduardo Fernández Guerrero PFSS25\250045 ‘European Translations of African Christianity: Ethiopian Religion through Humanist Writings’ School of Advanced Study, University of London £292,548.00 This project investigates the production and dissemination of knowledge about African Christianity in Europe during the sixteenth century, focusing on Ethiopian Christianity and its representation by European authors. Central to this research is the examination of texts by African Christians, their European translations and adaptations, and the dynamics of their readership: more especifically, the main case study revolves around the Ethiopian writings by Damião de Góis and Ṣägga Zäᵓab on Ethiopian religious practices as a key site for negotiating early modern genealogies of Christian and European identities. Unlike most previous scholarship, which has often focused on diplomatic and geopolitical aspects or individual Ethiopian figures, this project uses religion and ethnography as lenses to explore the transcontinental co-production of knowledge, particularly in the context of the Protestant Reformation and Iberian colonial expansion, thus aiming to recenter African agency in European early modern intellectual history.

I’ll be working on transcontinental knowledge production, focused on early modern Ethiopian and European intellectual collaborations, Ṣägga Zäʾab and Damião de Góis. Really looking forward to connecting with and learning from new colleagues! See you in London!

Dear #Skystorians
If any of you, by any chance, will be in the French National Archives at Pierrefitte next week, I need a document. I would be very grateful (and pay you for your time) if you could take some pictures for me. It shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes. Please DM me
