Repost of a message by Steffen Patzold @ academia.com, part 1: Seit diesem Monat ist die neue Datenbank NPPM zur Onomastik und Prosopographie des Mittelalters online: nppm.ub.uni-tuebingen.de.

still working on the OA glitch, thank you for your patience!

meanwhile, happy to send a PDF to folks who can't wait to ready it--send me an email or drop me a message.

It is intended to bring together members of the academic community with interests in hagiography, the cults of saints, and related topics for collaboration, conferences, new publications, and other opportunities.

We also have shamelessly copied and hope to emulate @networknorse.bsky.social

I’d heard rumours that a Playmobil Cistercian monk was a thing that existed, and I can now confirm those rumours are TRUE. It’s not easy to get hold of tho - a special limited edition for Eberbach Abbey

I'm delighted to say that my translation of the Latin Passion of St Cnut the Holy (in a volume edited by @hopesteffen.bsky.social and others) has now been published by Museum Odense and is freely available to download from the museum's website: download.museumodense.dk/files/publik...

I just remembered that there is a nice German paper on the William of Malmesbury passage by the late Thomas Ricklin.
Do you both know this piece?

BIG news coming, but a sneak peak at a recent project at @thejohnrylands.bsky.social - the 1546 Mappemonde has been under some close scrutiny! New #imaging means the original 43mp image is now an astonishing *552 megapixels* the detail is extraordinary!

This list of ‘books in Irish script’ (Libri scottice scripti) was compiled in the mid-9th century as part of a catalogue of the library of Sankt Gallen Abbey, testifying to the large number of Irish manuscripts that were already in its collections at this time.
