So, anyway, here's to BretPal, and here's to (hopefully) BretPal 2.0, in which I hope to explore further scribal connections between Brittany, Cornwall, Wales, and Ireland. If someone would like to fund me, that would be great.
(New York, Public Library, MS De Ricci 115)

I am incredibly grateful to the Marie Curie for funding BretPal and to the Classics Department at Galway (@galwayclassics.bsky.social) for being my home these past two years.
(formerly Oslo, Schøyen 2036)

In honour of today's final BretPal workshop, please enjoy the palaeographical nightmare/dream that is Angers 477

And now to end the BretPal workshop, we have @helenthev.bsky.social presenting on CCCC 221 and Gonville and Caius MS 144/194 with this excellent slide of the three scribes’ g letterforms

It was a tremendous honour to give a keynote on The Legacy of the Irish Scholar Dicuil at the Fourth European Symposium in Celtic Studies in Bonn last Wednesday. I can’t thank @elenaparina.bsky.social and her team enough for the invitation, welcome, and the perfect organisation of the conference!

It also felt historical to give the perhaps first keynote ever on Dicuil, exactly 1200 years after his last sign of life, the publication of his books on ‘The First Syllable’ and ‘The Measurement of the Earth’, and seven years since I started work on Dicuil, funded by @researchireland.ie

@cgschweizer.bsky.social, @researchireland.ie fellow at @galwayclassics.bsky.social gave a keynote on The Legacy of the Irish Scholar Dicuil
