New pinned tweet time! My book came out in 2020, and the link to it on the @boydellbrewer website has changed. It's been reviewed as an 'impressive study', 'a refreshingly different approach' and 'a full and rich portrait of an institution'. boydellandbrewer.com/9781783274956/…

@oldenoughtosay On a very pragmatic note, look at which colleges might have internal funding for DPhils. For sheer fun, I do like the deer park at Magdalen...

Reposting for UK budget day and because I've just been finding more medieval women active in the Dublin exchequer.

I promised @RebeccaMenmuir and @onslies that I'd write about 13th century women working in the exchequer- here you go!

@ElizabethCBiggs Thank you so much - I’m going to try Colmán Ó Clabaigh first, but I might take you up on that very kind offer if he’s not the right person for my slightly odd name xref request.

@ConorMcDonough4 I know you’re about to take a twitter break, but can I borrow your brain and your monastic and clerical network connections before you go? Do you know anyone who works on or has an interest in the Knights Hospitallers in Ireland (esp in Waterford)?

@sarahxgilbert I can check details in that I'm constantly coming across the Hospitallers in the Irish receipt rolls, so if that sounds of use for you?

I should stress - this is a very boring detail and I do not expect clarifying it to cause any great revelations about … anything tbh … I just have a bit of a loose end in my catalogue record due to my own ignorance.

I’m super pleased that we’re getting closer to having translations of all the receipt rolls @UkNatArchives, alongside Connolly’s translation of the issue rolls and full digitisations of the originals. There’s so many wonderful details in them!

A rare and remarkable occurrence of two female printer-publishers not only working together but using their given names: Yolande Bonhomme's imprint and Charlotte Guillard's colophon in an edition of Augustine published in Paris in 1541 (USTC 204524)! hdl.handle.net/10481/10736

Very much looking forward to seeing the Guild of St Anne deeds join the medieval collections available through @VirtualTreasury. Deeds are such telling and important records for finding out more about people's ordinary lives.
Royal Irish Academy Library@Library_RIA

We are delighted to announce a new project with our partners @VirtualTreasury to enhance access the Guild of St Anne collection. This collection offers a wealth of info about Dublin’s social structure & civic culture from 13th - 18th C. Read more here: ria.ie/2024/09/30/med…

@DJMHarland I was curious, so went hunting. This 2023 article by Blair et al cites to the unpublished report, so I'm guessing not published yet, but there's also a 2021 publication listed that might have more details: doi.org/10.1080/006659…
