@DrFrancisYoung Palimpsested ancient texts may not have been known about or recorded until relatively recently, so who knows

When was the last point (in Europe) when we were still losing texts transmitted from antiquity? Could we have lost texts at the dissolution? At the French Revolution? Or was every survival known about by that point?

We are looking forward to be back @sfzhamburg in March and April for an exciting course on #ancient and #medieval #inks and the methods we use to recover them. Pupils in grades 8 to 10 can sign up until 29 March sfz-hamburg.de/angebote/koope…

Join us in Hamburg this July for our most comprehensive #SummerSchool to date, 'An Interdiscplinary History of #Writing'! Accommodation is included, fee waivers and substantial support for travel costs are available csmc.uni-hamburg.de/study-at-csmc/…

Last week, we launched 'With Stylus, Brush, or Quill', an introduction to #writing across cultures for children at primary school. After the first session on #cuneiform tablets, we can't wait for the next sessions on #Chinese, #Hebrew, and #Arabic scripts! csmc.uni-hamburg.de/news/2023-03-0…

Just MSI being awesome blogs.bl.uk/digitisedmanus…

Major in English, minors in French and women's studies. Now I'm a multispectral imaging technician at a major university. My English degree introduced me to manuscripts, codicology, and paleography, and helps me translate science info to humanist colleagues. #iwasanenglishmajor

The call for applications for the next HLCEES Summer School, "Working in Manuscript Studies: Traditional and New Approaches, with a focus on the Ethiopian and Eritrean tradition" (4-15 September in Hamburg), is now open until 15 March. We particularly welcome female participants.

📢Vacant position: We're looking for a PhD student to join our Grad School and participate in the our Research Fields on 'Multigraphic Written Artefacts' or 'Multilingual Written Artefacts' Applications welcome until 30 March! uni-hamburg.de/en/stellenange…

@Sonja_Drimmer @AChillGhost You'll probably have better luck with something under 400nm. Weirdly, you can find some very cheap LED flashlights with 385/395nm as pet urine detectors. You might also find an inexpensive Wood's lamp at 365. Looks like your current setup is pretty good, though! Fascinating find.

@malenaratzke @BoehlauVerlag @MedievalUpdates @SHoltzhauer @V_R_Tweets Congratulations, Marlena!

@KirsteenPaton Harry Murray of Nazareth College in Rochester, NY, may be interesting. Longtime affiliation with the Catholic Worker movement, sociology research on homelessness, got students involved hands-on, overall moral beacon.

@oishani Soondubu jjigae!! Or tteokkboki

@baileymeyers Paradigm. Pronounced it "paradiggum" for months before someone corrected me and still can't hear it any other way in my head.

hey kids who learned their vocab from reading, what word that you mispronounced still haunts you

@bbeckyL Great questions! The field would definitely benefit from a piece dedicated to MSI! I help run the system at Hamburg's CSMC, and I'd love to discuss these questions more (Twitter is just too short, as Anna said)!

Yo #medievaltwitter. There have been a few major multi-spectral imaging discoveries this year and most coming against the backdrop of big funding cuts for the arts. It's got me thinking about some big Qs and I'd like to write about them. Would love to hear what you all think!

Re-found this spider squashed inside a book from 1492 when checking a reference. First time we saw it, we meant to ask if any scientists out there are interested in doing #DNA analysis of #insects, #flies, #moths, #spiders etc we have found in ancient books or MSS. If so, DM us.

Doing research on #cultural #heritage objects often provokes ethical dilemmas. In a short lecture series, members of our #ethics working group reflect on the manifold moral responsibilities of researchers: csmc.uni-hamburg.de/register-semin… All lectures in hybrid format, all welcome!

What can the study of #material evidence tell us about the transmission of #manuscripts in different cultures?

Spending your #lunchbreak in front of a screen is usually a bad idea - unless it's for the Digital Lunch Seminar Series! In easily digestible bites, two scientists from two disciplines present their joint research on #manuscripts csmc.uni-hamburg.de/news/2022-10-1…
