Will Noel was a groundbreaking scholar who worked tirelessly to make the medieval world matter, to opening up the (historically) restrictive space of manuscripts to open access, and a kind and generous human being. I will miss him terribly.
We are extremely saddened to hear that Will Noel passed away yesterday. He was a pioneer in the field of digital manuscript studies, a relentless advocate of open access, friend and colleague to many in the DM community. He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his family.

It’s difficult to describe how color and light drips down your back in Alexei Mansour’s work, whom I’ve been very fortunate to collaborate with this year. Byzantine art is nothing if not an experience of texture and the amorphous reflecting of light—something I think about a lot—

Is there anyone here on Twitter who reads Thai? I’m looking to translate a few sentences from this (supposedly) 19th-century Thai folding book, which i believe is about medicine. #thailanguage #manuscriptstudies

Bob Ousterhout meant a lot of things to a lot of people, and not simply as a field-defining scholar. The best seminar of my grad career was taught by him. I didn’t have the chance to tell him that I used his masterful E. Medieval Arch. in my own teaching this past semester.
