It was a great pleasure to meet the speakers and commentators last Friday. Thanks again to the GHIL‘s team for making it happen. I am looking forward to the next Medieval Germany Workshop in 2028 already!
#Throwback to last Friday! Thanks for a wonderful workshop on medieval Germany! 🏰 It was inspiring to get insights into so many different projects — from nuns' letters and Hildegard of Bingen to accounting records and the artistic world of Nuremberg. 1/5
