Als je nog andere dingen voor de feestdagen wil bestellen zoals #Noordzee kabinetjes (€23,50) of #basterkabinetjes (€59,95/€69,95) of #Schelptekeningen (€59,95 geloof ik) dan kun je dat ook al aangeven in DM want ik weet niet of ik overal genoeg voorraad van kan maken

Just submitted a review of Wolfram Kinzig's amazing book A History of Early Christian Creeds.
It was such a joy reading it and discussing it back in the summer at the book launch.
Go read it or perhaps, given the length, browse it - you will never think about the Nicene creed in the same way again.

The sheer size of the ballot papers in the Netherlands caused problems yesterday. One man got his hand stuck in a ballot box when he tried to push the folded sheet down. It took half an hour to free him. A woman lost her wedding ring, which was retrieved at the count.

TIL that my aunt, who passed away at 83 yrs earlier this week, was born in Liegnitz, now Legnica in Silesia, Poland. A historic place, well known for the battle of Liegnitz in 1241. I will need to go and visit it.

A precious moment of full attention. The very moment you find something very special in your archival research or in your academic reading is pure gold, as curious #skystorians do know. Awe can be found everywhere as the man in this 1627 oil painting by Rembrandt van Rijn demonstrates 🗃️ #academicSky

This is a Grateful Dead Skull. Notice the deeply baked look in its eyes.
This is a stoner skull, not a Nazi skull. You may end up locked in on the couch listening to endless riffs, but you won’t end up locked in a camp. 4/x

A neat tool I just came across: Viabundus, a digital road map of northern Europe 1350-1650, that lets you calculate contemporary travel routes/times. In 1500, going Amiens → Köln by horse took almost 7 days and 13 toll payments.

I hardly ever post about disappointing books here, but this is one. With chapters on Nuremberg, Louvain, Kassel, Hven, Mortlake(!) and Prague, the author tries to paint a picture of the development of astronomy in the 16th century. She does not succeed. 1/2
