Anyone can make a thoughtless joke on Twitter that goes down badly, but this attempted explanation is terrible and unflatteringly revealing - linguistically illiterate and betraying the typical monoglot's lack of understanding of language learning. twitter.com/zoesqwilliams/…

"The bees of Notre Dame, whose escape from the inferno seemed almost miraculous, are thriving and conserving their energy ready to produce honey this summer, just as they have every year since they took up residence on the sacristy roof in 2013."

saying goodbye to @magdalenoxford one collection item at a time: this 1540s Oxford #binding contained my favourite #fragment - this half leaf of a massive Decretals with the majority of the miniature still intact (Magd D.21.6) #medievaltwitter #fragmentology pic.twitter.com/sU5xjN1KRD

"South Estonian has historically been divided into the Tartu, Mulgi and Võro dialects – of these, the only one to retain a significant number of native speakers (10 000's) is Võro, spoken principally in Võru and Põlva counties in south-eastern Estonia."

Timbuktu is - tragically - in the most dangerous part of one of the most dangerous countries on earth for US citizens to visit. US travel advisory says:
"If you decide to travel to Mali: Draft a will."

Father Stewart @ColumbaStewart has the kind of old-fashioned physical courage that we've seldom seen in the world of ancient texts since Rawlinson scaled the cliffs to read the Behistun Inscription. twitter.com/ColumbaStewart…

🆕 research: This stela from Balchiria, Corsica, is estimated to be ~6,000 years old. It's engraved with some sort of goat person, a design that is unlike anything seen in the Western Mediterranean at this time (🆓) buff.ly/2tVxs3C pic.twitter.com/slZvIiS6cM

I can recommend William Layher's excellent article on this subject "Horrors of the East: Printing Dracole Wayda in 15th-century Germany", available here (but institutional login needed, unfortunately):

This woodcut seems to have been first used in the pamphlet "Dracole Waida" printed by Hans Sporer in Bamberg in 1491 [GW 12526]. It was likely used in original and recut form for decades afterwards as well. Here's an image from Sporer's pamphlet and an off-print of the woodblock. pic.twitter.com/Nf127hsq8w

From the late 15th century pamphlets appeared in Bavaria, Franconia & Saxony publicizing the extreme and unusual cruelties committed by Vlad Tepes 'The Impaler’ in Wallachia, otherwise known as Vlad Dracula. This is the original woodcut printing block from one of these pamphlets. pic.twitter.com/P4yOCxHb1R

The mythical forest of Broceliande has been “located” at several areas including the forest of Fougeres in Ille-et-Vilaine #emojibzh When these forests contain dolmens they are often seen in local folklore as being Merlin’s tomb or the home of Morgan etc. #FolkloreThursday pic.twitter.com/fZcdeNTQAq

"Due to "suspicions around the authenticity and origins" of some of the artwork, inspectors seized around 30 objects from four exhibition stands. In addition, during the opening of the fair on Friday, two merchants from both Mali and France were arrested."
