@FarahmBazzi Mabroek, Farah, wat prachtig. Heel veel geluk samen!!

@lukasik_c @Radboud_Uni @ERC_Research @IvOCNijmegen Thanks, Candace, was great to have you with us!

“Rewriting Global Orthodoxy” has been an incredible project to think with and it was lovely to be at @Radboud_Uni for its concluding conference. Special thanks to @hlvdberg for spearheading this generative space on religion and migration.

@jedwardwalters Thanks, James!

@jedwardwalters But of course we have biases of our own we’re not yet aware of

@jedwardwalters Yes, indeed! Much of my work has tried to counter these rather long-lived biases. Great to see the times (and scholarship) are changing!

@FarahmBazzi @arbeiderspers @EstherCHendriks @elettinga Van harte, Farah! En veel succes met het schrijven

I’ve been following the work of #Iraqi artists for quite a long time. Their work has an unparalleled elegance and a spirit I am in love with 💜💚 So - every Saturday, I’ll grace your timeline with the art of a favourite 🪄✨ This will be an ongoing thread 😊 1️⃣ Wasmaa Al-Agha

@archeohistories Most certainly fake

Bible Manuscript written in Syriac, written in Jesus' native language; about 2000 years old. Israel Museum, Jerusalem #archaeohistories

@jjvpeperstraten Hfst 25 van Melvilles Moby Dick: walvisolie

Geen dierlijke ingrediënten meer in de gewijde olie waarmee koning Charles III zal worden gezalfd.

@DiegoMalara7 And mostly implicitely: Arundhati Roy, God of Small Things

Novels that focus/touch upon Orthodox Christianity (beyond the usual suspects)? Suggestions welcome

@DiegoMalara7 Sinan Antoon, Bagdad Eucharist (Ya Maryam)

@DiegoMalara7 Franz Werfel, 40 Days of Musa Dagh

@DiegoMalara7 Elias Khoury, Jalo

@jedwardwalters @Mar_Musa Indeed, the way the letters are connected is very similar to later East Syriac cursive

@RenaNetjes These were Jews who came from Kurdistan and indeed, in majority were Aramaic speakers. For a great intro to this, see @arielsabar My Father’s Paradise arielsabar.com/my-father-s-pa…

(At least) some who are called Kurds in Israel are actually Assyrians and speak Neo Aramaic. (I remember an academic explaining all this on Israeli TV, but I can't find it..) youtu.be/5oVp0HlWT8g

Afgelopen zaterdag overleed hoogleraar wijsgerige antropologie Philippe Van Haute. De Vlaamse filosoof stond bekend als een van de grootste kenners van Freud en Lacan in het Nederlands taalgebied. ‘Ontsporing behoort tot de kern van het mens-zijn.’ filosofie.nl/philippe-van-h…

De Radboud Universiteit in Nijmegen is nog steeds katholiek en blijft dat ook. Tijdens het gesprek met de Nederlandse bisschoppen legde paus Franciscus de nadruk op de pastorale nabijheid van de kerk bij ‘tutti’, iedereen. Ook bij lhbti’ers. nd.nl/geloof/katholi…

Out now: ‘Jacob of Serugh. Homily on the Apostle Thomas and the Resurrection of Our Lord’ by @philipforness in the Corpus Scriptorum Christianorum Orientalium Series @PeetersPub bit.ly/3h8y4ep

@The_Archpoet @PembrokeOxford Ah, great! That sure is something I try to address in that piece. In my Scribes and Scriptures I’ve tried to address the importance of (Syriac) colophons for historical research a bit more broadly, over and above the issue of ‘historical data’ that happen to be included.

@hlvdberg @PembrokeOxford This is fascinating! Thank you very much for sharing it with me. By the way, my 4th lecture in the series on Armenian colophons is entitled "Colophons as Sources for Women’s History".

Please join me for the 2nd lecture on the colophons of medieval Armenian manuscripts (in person only): "Colophons and the Economy of Salvation" Tuesday, 1st November | 5:00-6:30 pm The Allen & Overy Room, @PembrokeOxford, Oxford For more details, see pmb.ox.ac.uk/event/armenian…
