We’ve just kicked off our workshop “AI-based Methods for the Humanities”. Judging by the happy faces in the group photo below 👇, this is going to be a fascinating exchange of ideas!

Thanks to @stephenaj.bsky.social's fabulous article (still available at link below) I have had a look at this equally fabulous interactive astrolabe alexboxer.com/astrolabe/. It's a really useful tool for understanding what the instrument does and a lot of fun to play with! #histsci #astronomy

Sorry for being late to this discussion, I've just returned from the ICHST in New Zealand. But it's great to be able to read through this super interesting conversation. I think it's a great idea to use this platform for this kind of exchange!

Today is the anniversary of Hans Meier’s death (17/4/1941). A former Warburg librarian, he was taken far too soon, leaving behind the most extensive transcription of Michael Scot’s Liber introductorius. Here's a blog I wrote on this: warburg.sas.ac.uk/blog/michael... @warburginstitute.bsky.social
