Very sorry to hear this news: Andy was a good friend to me (and to many) and a fine scholar. The best early modernist to come out of SE London (a joke he would appreciate). www.abdn.ac.uk/cems/

Walter de Staplecat, Simpkin IV, Teabag, Balthasar and Benny D Cat take the stage as we meet the college cats of Oxford. And, of course, Magdalen’s Ozymandias. Read on for our photo special. (Includes a cat map.) oxfordclarion.uk/college-cats...
College cats of Oxford
Once upon a time, we featured an image of Magdalen's kitten, Ozymandias, in our newsletter. We figured it might be a gentle contrast to our regular diet of planning and local politics.

I would love to see a project that mapped the contents of recipe books to locations to see if collections are curated specifically to manage particular environments

Breda O'Brien: Not far from the tricolours of Dublin’s inner city, 50 faith communities are doing vital work

Ed Miliband is the latest energy secretary to focus on a net zero policy that doesn’t add up. Leaders gathering in Brazil must start asking the right questions

I have written quite lot of a longish book but about a chapter or so away from a first full draft I seem to have lost motivation. Help!

It’s really striking to me that Catherine Connolly clearly has loads of friends and Heather Humphreys appears not to (I accept that friends may well be a part of her private life and I totally respect that). But it’s interesting

In town browsing the early modern Irish history shelves as you do and reminded again of Bríd McGrath’s tangible and intangible impact of all of us who work on this stuff. I’d love to have heard her views on today’s election

100% not that our overlords recognise this form of permanent knowledge creation - editions are never properly acknowledged in research exercises or promotions
Couldn’t agree more. Same for literary texts. 👇
David Hayton once told me that the best thing a historian can do to be immortally relevant is to produce a scholarly edition of a primary source. Our monographs will be superseded, a good primary edition is permanent. Anyway, here's mine, just out.
