I see that there's a call for papers out for the annual meeting of the Renaissance Society of America, San Francisco, February 19-21, 2026: “Premodern Mapping Today”.

Deadline to submit abstracts: July 30, 2025. Details and contact: rsa.org/forms/FormResponseView

"We invite abstracts addressing any aspect of mapping in the premodern world (pre-1700), from any mapping tradition. We welcome papers of any kind, from those that address a single map, text, or object to those that address broad questions in the theory or historiography of maps and mapping. We are especially interested in papers that push scholarly conversations about maps and mapping in novel directions, including work that will eventually appear in collections or monographs."

When studying medieval vernaculars, digital humanists are faced with a major challenge: The lack of standardized spelling. Most Natural Language Processing techniques do not work well for medieval languages.

To get around this, Kimberly Lifton trained custom word-to-vector models—tools that map how words relate to each other—on 15th century French manuscripts and inventories mentioning Muslims during the rise of the Ottoman Empire. ⬇

It's like a scene from "The Antiques Roadshow." In 1946, Harvard Law School paid $27.50 for what it believed to be an unofficial copy of the Magna Carta. Two medieval history experts analyzed it and have concluded that it's actually the real deal: A rare, lost original Magna Carta from 1300 (the reign of King Edward I) that could be worth millions. Here's more from @BBCNews.

By way of @rogueclassicist and Chuck Jones' Ancient World Online (AWOL) blog, I see that this open-access ebook (available also in print) is now available:

Sarah Derbew, Daniel Orrells, and Phiroze Vasunia, eds. Classics and Race: A Historical Reader. London: UCL Press, 2025. doi.org/10.14324/111.978180008.

"... provides scholars and students with an exploratory intellectual history of the complex relationships between Classics and racist/anti-racist thought-systems. It collects together a series of readings of historical primary sources from the late medieval period until the mid-twentieth century, bringing to light how the classical tradition and post-ancient constructions of race have informed each other. Each reading is accompanied by an essay, written by a leading specialist who offers a discussion of the primary source..."
