Bartolomeo Pareto’s 1455 map placed “Scandre beco” (Skanderbeg) at the heart of the Balkans while he was still alive. One of the rarest moments in cartographic history: a territory identified not by a place name, but by a living leader Europe’s shield against Ottoman expansion.

Sir Noel Malcolm was at Harvard University when he was receiving constant calls from international media. At the outset of the war in Kosova in 1998, he published the most important international historical account of the country. By the time he was receiving those calls, the war was already well underway, ending in June of 1999 following the NATO intervention. His work was timely, as propaganda was being used to justify genocide, and it documented the systemic discrimination of Albanians. He set the record straight at a moment when distorted history was being weaponized, so that the truth of the past could shape a more just future. I had the honor of having a number of discussions with Sir Malcolm last night in London, who is currently at Oxford University, and of expressing my gratitude for what remains the most definitive English-language scholarly account on Kosova.

Two almost identical old hand-colored postcards from Banjska in Kosovo. One has a church where the other has a monastery or fortress (?) On one there is a white plis and on the other card the plis is red. Both cards from my collection.

Yesterday we had perfect weather to visit the ancient site of Apollonia. Here’s the 2ndC AD Monument of the Agonothetes, the 3rdC BC Nymphaeum, the obelisk of Apollo, and me! #archaeology #Albania
