I love Anthony Grafton for his love for the epistemologically & morally grey figures and areas between & & that emerge when the new gets to be born. Here he talks very accessibly about his new book about such a seminal figure in : the Magus. (With expert slurs to modern .) @histodons https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/the-magus-enlightened-magician-or-renaissance-charlatan/id256580326?i=1000653614822

CHUNK. Among printers, a journeyman who refuses to work for legal wages; the same as the flint among taylors. See FLINT.

Who's the youngest person to have ever voted in a UK election? Eighteen years-old? Sixteen? How about two?

TO COAX. To fondle, or wheedle. To coax a pair of stockings; to pull down the part soiled into the shoes, so as to give a dirty pair of stockings the appearance of clean ones. Coaxing is also used, instead of darning, to hide the holes about the ancles.

    TITTER TATTER. One reeling, and ready to fall at the least touch; also the childish amusement of riding upon the two ends of a plank, poised upon the prop underneath its centre, called also see-saw. Perhaps tatter is a rustic pronunciation of totter.

    Early medievalists: does anyone by chance have a copy of Frank Carey's typewritten list of MSS from St. Germain d'Auxerre? I've seen a dozen footnotes citing it but only as a photocopy at IRHT in France or the Vatican Library
    -- Catal. I. 26.9 (int 22).

    "MSS from the Scriptorium of Saint-Germain d 'Auxerre" (1956) 5pp

    WorldCat doesn't know it. Not in IA or Google Books. Thanks!

    Plusieurs collègues / ami(e)s sur l'annonce récent du gouvernement du d'un nouveau musée.

    Catherine Larochelle, Camille Robert, et al., « Les risques d’un retour au "récit national" » @histodons

    https://www.lapresse.ca/dialogue/opinions/2024-05-02/musee-national-de-l-histoire-du-quebec/les-risques-d-un-retour-au-recit-national.php

    Un extrait de l'article : L’histoire est certainement un ingrédient du lien social, mais osons penser au-delà des grands personnages afin de saisir comment les collectivités, dans leurs différentes configurations, influencent le cours des évènements. Car, au fond, quel est le rôle de l’histoire – cette discipline rigoureuse, mais toujours partielle et partiale, constamment actualisée et débattue ? Est-ce de transmettre « l’amour de la nation », comme on l’a entendu durant la conférence de presse ? Nous pensons, pour notre part, que l’histoire peut nous apprendre à vivre collectivement. Pas en raison d’une admiration des ancêtres, mais grâce à la meilleure compréhension qu’elle offre des sociétés humaines, de ce qui les fonde, les travaille et les distingue. Or, la société québécoise est issue de nombreux endroits, non d’un seul. Si on veut que l’histoire favorise notre compréhension du présent, il faut mettre en lumière cette pluralité d’expériences et de trajectoires.
