Sadly, I won't be able to join the @rsaorg.bsky.social this year due to teaching commitments in Paris, but you'll find @emodir.bsky.social members around such as @stefanovil.bsky.social, @tntwining.bsky.social and more!

If you are not a member yet, do not hesitate to ask questions and join us!!!

I’m delighted to share that my colleague Francesco Quatrini (Università di Firenze) and I (@sorbonneparis1.bsky.social) have been elected co-directors of @emodir.bsky.social (Early Modern Religious Dissents and Radicalism) at the latest General Assembly.

Thrilled to chair and co-organize three EMoDiR panels at RSA San Francisco 2026 on The Devil and Dissent: from demonology and Reformation polemic to political demonization and gendered stage representations #RenTwitter #earlymodern #RenTwitter #earlymodern

I think you’ll agree that it’s both sharp and a lot of fun.

Might be a long shot, but could potentially be Niccolò del Benino, discussed in Andrea Miroglio "Niccolò del Benino. L'avventura di un mercante-imprenditore fiorentino in America" and, more briefly, here: historia-hispanica.rah.es/biografias/5...

This looks great--can't wait to read it!

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS PROGRAMME 🤩
And more excitement to come in 2026 as well.

I often get driven to despair about the health of #earlymodern studies because of how it's deemed 'not useful' and 'unpopular in recruitment' and then I see just how much brilliant and varied work we do despite all that
