‘The Medieval Moon’ by Ayoush Lazikani review

So happy and grateful for this kind review by Dr Francis Young:

This is a great question and it sounds like you've found a potentially really exciting avenue to explore. I'm not a Latinist so I don't feel I should be giving advice on this, but I really hope you get a helpful response soon!

For medieval people, the Moon was both a riddle and a blessing As a symbol, the Moon did not have an easily decipherable meaning – which encouraged medieval people to read it in playful ways.

Really happy to have been able to share some of my research on the moon with The Conversation:

I hope we each have a chance to 'speak the language of the moon' today 😊. #medievalmoon

That is so kind and thoughtful! Thank you very much 😊.

Thank you very much for your interest! I really hope you enjoy the book 😊.

Very excited to be speaking at the Wantage Literary Festival on Halloween! I hope I'll be spooky enough. 😊

Just read a wonderful chapter by Anu Aneja, ‘The errant feminine of Bhakti and Sufi aesthetics’. Highly recommended. 😊
