Sometimes working with manuscripts gets us really, really close to the people from the past allowing us to hear their voices. This is a story of a letter from a schoolgirl to her teacher, written probably sometime at the end of the 9th or the beginning of the 10th century. A thread 🧵 #medievalsky /1

Combien de temps un ouvrier médiéval travaillait-il, par jour, par semaine, par an ? Comment s'organisait une journée de travail ?
Un document fascinant de la cathédrale de Rouen permet de répondre à ces questions. Un fil ⬇️ ! #medievalists #medievalsky

Je suis sûr que vous avez déjà vu cette enluminure, très souvent utilisée - comme ici par E. Bastié - pour illustrer des corvées médiévales.
Et si je vous disais que cette enluminure ne représente pas du tout ce qu'on croit y voir... ?

A neat tool I just came across: Viabundus, a digital road map of northern Europe 1350-1650, that lets you calculate contemporary travel routes/times. In 1500, going Amiens → Köln by horse took almost 7 days and 13 toll payments.

Dans une conférence donnée hier, J.-L. #Melenchon parle de l'histoire médiévale de l'islam et... il dit n'importe quoi (cf cet extrait). Au menu, raccourcis et erreurs, pour renforcer une vision de l'histoire mise au service d'un discours politique.

Au Haut Moyen Âge, les calligrammes sont très à la mode. Et le champion toute catégorie, c'est Raban Maur (780-856), moine puis archevêque de Mayence. Ici, je vous présente un incroyable poème à l'impératrice Judith. Un fil ⬇️ #medievalists #medievalsky

Ces petites perles de verre bleu n'ont l'air de rien. Mais elles chamboulent nos connaissances historiques.
Car ces perles, fabriquées à Venise, ont été retrouvées en Amérique... et elles y sont arrivées AVANT Christophe Colomb. Un fil ⬇️ ! #medievalists #medievalsky

of the many successors that emerged from the transformation of the Roman West/ Twitter, some failed quickly (Post/ Ostrogoths), others became insular & technocratic (Mastodon/ Visigoths), yet more became decadent (Threads/ Byzantium), while still others adapted & thrived (Bsky/ Franks) #medievalsky

we all thought Twitter’s collapse would be swift and sudden like the fall of the Roman Empire but instead it’s been a steady, irreversible decay like the fall of the Roman Empire

C'est en forgeant qu'on devient... forgeronne ! Eh oui, au Moyen Âge, on rencontre des femmes forgeronnes dans les sources : pas dans la fiction, dans la vraie vie. Des femmes qui travaillent le fer et le feu, fabriquant armes et outils...

I laughed out loud at #AnnDroid, but there’s a line in the last episode that is a little too close to home for medievalists. Sarah Kendall and Diane Morgan are amazing. #MedievalSky
