Michael Menzel reflects on Louis the Bavarian’s constitutional legacy, emphasising his role in establishing a genuine elective monarchy, free from papal interference. Although this was ultimately short-lived, Louis was certainly no ‘minor king’, as he was described. t1p.de/3v42j #medievalsky
Klaus Herbers presents a letter by Pope Stephen V (885–891) that has received little attention in research so far. It is preserved only in a manuscript from Montecassino and deals with parricide. t1p.de/3v42j #medievalsky
Simon Grigo and Peter Orth present a newly discovered fragmentary textual witness of the first Latin translation of the Acts of the Second Council of Nicaea (787). This witness has survived in the form of the cover of a 17th-century book, which is now held in Cologne. t1p.de/3v42j #medievalsky
Alexander Patschovsky examines the frescoes in the Church of the Augustinian Hermits in Constance, commissioned by King Sigismund. He edits the surviving sources describing the frescoes—of which only fragments survive today—and provides a more detailed analysis. t1p.de/3v42j #medievalsky
Mikuláš Netík focuses on the ‘Appendix’ to the ‘Historia de expeditione Friderici imperatoris’, which is strongly connected to Leopold V of Austria. He analyses the strategies used to justify Leopold’s actions, who was excommunicated after capturing Richard the Lionheart. t1p.de/3v42j #medievalsky

Excellent news - @monumenta.bsky.social to the rescue of online access to Deutsches Archiv!
Indeed, this is a major problem. But all articles of the Deutsches Archiv (and the older Neues Archiv) can be researched in our OPAC and we have a PDF of each article publicly available. As of now, the old "Archiv" (1819–1874) is still work in progress. (1/3)
Throughout Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages, a vast corpus of potentially dangerous texts was dismissed as unorthodox and unauthorised by Christian scholars and policy makers. Yitzhak Hen explores some of the mechanism that allowed the dealing with such texts. see mgh.de/en/blog/post...
Today, 19.1. at 6 p.m. Veronika Lukas presents her edition in Regensburg: mgh.de/de/blog/post...

Thank you for posting this feedback (even if it comes a little late) @pseudo-isidore.bsky.social ! Digital services - and especially the dMGH - are very important to the MGH.
Interesting to chat to a research student in Turkey, working on Carolingian Francia, who said his work is only possible because of the digitised @monumenta.bsky.social.

In CONSTRINGERENT, you can see the difference between T and E starting a ligature, and also how R behaves differently depending on what it's joined up to. Note that, just to confuse you, the last E in this word does have a tiny bit of an indentation at left, but nothing like in T masquerading as E.

Replying to @carinr.bsky.social
Note especially the difference between ligatures starting with t and ligatures starting with e. T bends up and around to join the next letter, resulting in a form that looks a whole lot like an e. The actual e also goes into ligature, but does not have an indent in its left side. Example follows...
