We’ll take any chance to talk about etymology! 😁 And if you haven’t listened to their related episode about Isidore, the great medieval etymologist, we heartily recommend it!
For our new bonus episode, @Alliterative and @AvenSarah from @AllEndlessKnot joined us for a conversation about the joys of etymology and the delights of reading dictionaries.

I’ve read a lot about the Aeneid, and bits of it, but never the sporting contests. The Spouter Inn, on book 5: do recommend.

Where does the library end and the archive begin? Shelves, Liber Floridus, and Shipwrecked Books. We get personal with Dr. Suzanne Akbari from @TheSpouter.

The art of calligraphy on a dried leaf, was practised widely in Ottoman Turkey. This was difficult & delicate work. The leaf was dried, & the tissue removed to leave the skeletal membrane, with gold ink applied over it.
For Ramadan, here are 20 exquisite examples…

On the latest installment of the HH Podcast, Suzanne Akbari (@thespouter @the_IAS @oldbooksnewsci) talks w/ Sarah & Josh about our personal collections of books & knick-knacks & what a personal archive can (and can’t) tell us about the past. Listen here: holdinghistory.org/post/suza…

Saddened about the passing of David Melnick. Working on the full edition of "Men in Aïda" was one of the highlights in my early publishing life.
Read his work, it is absolutely wonderful, witty, sexy, and brilliant!
RIP David Melnick, whose “Men in Aida” (a homophonic translation of the first few books of the Iliad) is a touchstone work of experimental (and very gay) poetry. legacy.com/us/obituaries/sfg…

I keep returning to this, partly cuz @BackCampusGreen & @wordgarbler wonderfully parse 'casual' v 'urgent': a talk or kitchen-table mtg can look casual even tho' its aims are urgent.
I also loved their respect of ways Maracle worked thru bodies & gender, e.g., "if you do... 1/x
We remember Lee Maracle by reading and thinking with her book I Am Woman: A Native Perspective on Sociology and Feminism.

Loved the CLR James episode of @HistPhilosophy -- James is generally one of the most fundamentally humane and inspiring figures in the whole Africana tradition.

It's a professional thrill to be involved in the care of this extraordinary and truly huge manuscript!
