At last, the cat is out of the bag: it's publication day of 'Heraldry in Urban Society: Visual Culture and Communication in Late Medieval England and Germany' (academic.oup.com/book/58666)! Coincidentally both cats and bags feature, among many other things...

Join us on 12.11. for a panel on ‘A Weak Reich? European Perspectives on Medieval Germany in Conversation’ with Nora Berend (@CamHistory), Klaus Oschema (@dhiparis) & Jörg Peltzer (@UniHeidelberg/@uniofeastanglia), chaired by Miri Rubin (@QMHistory):

The tables and charts in @RoyalHistSoc's new briefing 'The Value of History' are available #OpenAccess, for download and use: bit.ly/40gmrqy
These resources show the scale of cuts but also the positives we need to convey to would-be #History undergraduates 1/4
In another coincidence, the cat-out-of-the-bag idiom works in English and German, just like heraldry did in English and German cities of the later Middle Ages. ;)
I may be biased, but I think we have now reached peak academic event poster, having encounterrd this gem today @HHU_de. For more information: stift-klosterneuburg.at/even…
Everything is ready to go! 😊

Historians and medievalists aren't (yet) impressed with the likes of ChatGPT. One frequent complaint is that the data on which responses are based is unclear/unreliable/superficial. And the AI is not very good at revealing them either (even fabricating bogus citations).
It was easier than anticipated, a least having a little previous Docker knowledge. Perhaps you have got a much more insightful use case in mind than I. This pet project certainly made me all the more excited to see what Digital Humanities people can/will do with LLMs...
It was a pleasure to have you with us! I/we hope to see you again soon.
