80 years ago, my great-grandmother Lily Ebert was in Auschwitz for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. Today, at 100, she celebrates with 38 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild. After a year of war and rising antisemitism, we hope and pray for a new year of peace.

Ginny is also founding member of a great multidisciplinary NEH-funded team, CODICES, which conducts optical, chemical, and computational analyses of manuscripts and early printed books. Science + Humanities!♥️

Virginia Blanton (USA) -- doyenne of nuns' literacies in the Middle Ages. Tireless co-organizer and co-editor (with Patricia Stoop) of the watershed Nuns Literacies conferences and volumes. #TeamNun loves women who love women who loved books!

Julia Rohn (Scotland) -- aspiring archivist and the newest member of #TeamNun. Gearing up for a deep dive into untapped archives of the nuns of Santa Maria della Stella. #TeamNun loves archivists and the repositories that give them access!

Honest people aren't afraid of the truth.

If you don’t fit in, you’re probably doing the right thing. Unknown

Yay for @Diane_Watt's brilliant biography of Margaret Paston, out today! GOD'S OWN GENTLEWOMAN @iconbooks is a fascinating tale, using the Paston letters as stepping stones through Margaret's life, loves, griefs and political turmoil. She was quite a woman!🥳📚🌟

Last day in Bonn for now. A great two weeks here!

Looking forward to leaning more as work continues -- and to future collaboration with the team!

The current excavation at Dalheim is essential to extending our understanding of women's religious life in the Middle Ages. As archaeologist Roberta Gilchrist has noted, women's communities have too often been overlooked or undervalued -- by archaeologists AND historians.

The #LWL team is following up on the results of a recent high-tech non-destructive survey of the women's precinct south of the church and interpretations of the space based on excavations in and around the church conducted in 1990.

Dalheim's women's monastery was abandoned in the first half of the fourteenth century -- its physical remains appropriated after 1429 for a new community of Augustinian regular canons
