Book (The Destruction of Medieval Manuscripts in England) on a book table at Leeds International Medieval Congress

!! One of my former thesis students is at Leeds IMC and just sent me a picture of my @oxfordacademic.bsky.social book out in the wild #MedievalSky

Thanks Jodie! Hope you're keeping well :)

Same to you 🇨🇦🍁 we've got some kind of heat warning here today so your summer sounds much more reasonable :)

@kmilne.bsky.social Congrats on the great review of Manuals for Penitents in Medieval England in the latest Speculum!

Thanks so much for mentioning this! 😊 I hadn't seen this review yet (I think my issue of Speculum must be on a boat on the Atlantic somewhere :). Hope you're enjoying the summer!

Sounds like such a valuable resource!

Cover of a forthcoming book: Textual and Artistic Representations of Guide Dogs in Northwestern Europe, 1100 - 1500 by Krista Milne

🦮🎉Delighted to announce that my third book is forthcoming this summer:
Textual and Artistic Representations of Guide Dogs in Northwestern Europe, 1100 - 1500

Thanks!

Thanks for the good wishes; really appreciated.

My grandma passed away two weeks ago. Her health had been declining over the past two months and I had wanted to see her but I wasn't able to go back to Canada during the academic semester so I didn't get to say goodbye properly. Love working abroad overall but times like this are so heartbreaking.

happy to help 😊 I've been stuck inside all week due to a bad run injury so random ME translation was a very welcome distraction. Sending good wishes for your work (on Piers? 🤔)

"by this simile... I see a piece of evidence/proof/an indication that whoever sins against the Holy Spirit (he) will never be absolved"

Asoillen (v./to absolve) not super common in ME and worthen (v./to be) here looks identical to the noun, which may be what caused the issue 🤔

Great to hear of more work being done on the alchemical MSS. I discuss Dee's collection briefly in the book as I recall 👍

When I retire I want to open a more historically informed version of Medieval Times for England in which knights have the Virgin painted on the inside of their shields and wealthy guests are expected to bring books of hours and there is an anchorite living in the entryway
