Vond ik grappig! 😊 Fruin bladerde in 1903 door een Zeeuwse rekening uit 1521 en vond er een kostenpost voor “een rotte mande appelen” voor het aan de kaak te stellen (aan de schandpaal zetten) van een crimineel. De publieke bekogeling met rot fruit was dus van overheidswege geregeld.
Beste van twee werelden!
Ah we're on!
Hoping to stream Dirk van Miert's inaugural @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social with the best possible view, but alas
Ok, it's in Hessels III.ii, 2628-29 (nr. 3843) and 2653 (nr. 3890) but no specifics ☹️
Van Meteren jr gives documents in store to the church, I'll look up the reference in Hessels to see if it gives a clue as to where exactly they are being kept
Yes, "onder" might mean "among" if "schrifterij" means "writings/documents" but it might also mean "in the keeping of" if "schrifterij" is a place but I think you're right that the former makes more sense.
There was one, I think, but cant remember where I read it
Ah so they used the word schrifterij in the sense of librije - a place where you keep writings
I haven't come across it either. Had I been allowed to guess I'd ventured it were the old scriptorium of Austin Friars
Voor wie er binnen het bereik van Omroep West woont: om tien over elf vertel ik in het programma UIT over de tentoonstelling Zorg voor het Verzet. Deze expo over de Stichting 1940-1945 is sinds afgelopen woensdag te zien bij het Nationaal Archief.
A great #bookhistory job.
When you repeat a lie, you spread it.
When you spread a lie, you strengthen it.
When you strengthen a lie, you become an accomplice to it.
In this disinformation age, we must do better.
Avoid falling into simple propaganda traps.
Soms denk je, kan het nog gekker? Jawel. De belastingdienst gaat ons complete BTW-proces uitbesteden aan een Amerikaans bedrijf, te leveren "as a service". Wij staan erbij en kijken er naar: berthub.eu/articles/pos...

Friends & colleagues: please allow me in little self-promotion. I'll be in Ghent 25 May-15 June and Leiden 16 June-7 July for research (geopolitics permitting!). If anyone would like me to come talk to their group/class about my 1572 project, I am happy to do so. Just send me a DM. #earlymodern

Die commentator bij het shorttrack zat echt een eeuwigheid op het verkeerde spoor en snapte het in de herhaling nog niet
I'm sure I'm not the only historian who thought of this analogy.

But Rubio said such nice things in Munich!
Americans will squeeze us for every last drop as long as we remain dependent on their tech and military. They have been bullying Latin and South America, the Arabs, the Vietnamese... It's not new.
What's new is the technology used, and the target: us.
