I remember reading this at the Library of Lettere Moderne in Bologna, during my study abroad (early 2006). It's such a trip.

Llull was never an alchemist per se. He was acutally against alchemy. It all starts with the pseudo-Lullian text known as Testamentum Alchemicum and after that is off to the races. Michaela Pereira and Jen Rampling's The Experimental Fire offer good accounts of this tradition.

#WalterBenjamin flüchtete vor Krieg und Diktatur, besaß ein Visum für die USA und hatte sich bis zum spanischen Grenzort Portbou durchgeschlagen. Doch dort verweigerte man ihm die Einreise.

Argumentos como panes en este artículo de Mario Aguiriano contra la columna de Reyes Mate en El País, que enfurece y entristece a partes iguales. Excelente artículo también para ayudarnos a pensar (mejor) históricamente

🇵🇸Opinión | Manipulaciones sionistas y responsabilidad histórica.

"El historiador Reyes Mate, con su último artículo publicado en ‘El País’, ha querido jugar, en su versión intelectual, el mismo papel que los antidisturbios en La Vuelta."

Apparently, it's #InternationalOwlAwarenessDay!
Here is my favourite #owl, depicted on a #Roman mosaic found in Uzès southern France, dating second half of the 1st century BC.

A Roman mosaic depicting an owl with wide eyes, brown and red body, and blue feet, set against a cream-colored background with a black geometric border. The owl looks a bit deranged.

Alex de Waal has worked on humanitarian causes across the globe for over 40 years.

“There is no case, over those four decades, of such minutely engineered, closely monitored, precisely designed mass starvation of a population as is happening in Gaza today.”

So, here it is. Thanks to a new state law that was NEVER DEBATED, Indiana University has committed itself to abolishing majors in African-American/African Diaspora Studies: American Studies; Art History; French; Italian; Religious Studies etc. DOZENS of majors. www.ipm.org/news-section...
Indiana public colleges cut almost 20% of degrees
Public Indiana colleges and universities have eliminated 19 percent of their degree programs to meet requirements added to the state’s budget, according to the Commission for Higher Education.
