Thank you, Elena - so did I, and it was a pleasure for me, too🙂

Thank you, Vinicius!

Likewise, I am very grateful to the Societas Celtologica Europaea, to all the other wonderful participants of the symposium, as well as to @researchireland.ie, @galwayclassics.bsky.social and the Research Office Galway for their support.

It also felt historical to give the perhaps first keynote ever on Dicuil, exactly 1200 years after his last sign of life, the publication of his books on ‘The First Syllable’ and ‘The Measurement of the Earth’, and seven years since I started work on Dicuil, funded by @researchireland.ie

It was a tremendous honour to give a keynote on The Legacy of the Irish Scholar Dicuil at the Fourth European Symposium in Celtic Studies in Bonn last Wednesday. I can’t thank @elenaparina.bsky.social and her team enough for the invitation, welcome, and the perfect organisation of the conference!

The Fourth European Symposium in Celtic Studies starts tomorrow! So much looking forward to welcome all the wonderful scholars @cgschweizer.bsky.social @bernhardbaver.bsky.social @ninacnock.bsky.social @metamedievalist.bsky.social @medievalireland.bsky.social and a lot of others!

First, in Session 1020 (Programme page 252), we have my own colleague Christian Schweizer (@CAMPSGalway.bsky.social) discussing ‘Dicuil’s Grammatical Texts’. (@IMC-Leeds.bsky.social) #IMC2025

Jacopo Bisagni's new article on the Sun’s night journey and its cosmic battle with a tide-making sea monster (sometimes called Leviathan) has just been published in JML. This narrative is found in De cursu solis in nocte, a text which Jacopo discovered in the ninth-century manuscript Laon MS 422.

Nearing the end of season 2 & we've hit over 100K listens on the podcast 🥂. Thanks to all of our guests for sharing their time & expertise! Thoroughly enjoyed talking medieval Ireland over the last 38 episodes, more anon! @maynoothuniversity.ie @researchireland.ie

Since I had trouble finding any "brief introduction to XML and TEI" that was either brief or genuinely introductory, I decided to write one myself: www.pmoran.ie/posts/guide-...

Thank you very much, Charles!😊

Thank you so much, Niamh!
