#JeudiManuscrit

Le 5 mars 1535, les représentants de la Ville de Lyon prennent une #délibération consulaire dans laquelle ils décident de remplacer François #Rabelais dans ses fonctions de #médecin à l'Hôtel-Dieu de #Lyon, du fait de ses absences répétées.

Voici donc sous vos yeux ébahis la lettre de #licenciement
de Rabelais, conservée aux #ArchivesDeLyon sous la cote BB 55 (abîmée par un dégât des eaux ancien).

@Athenenoctua @charly @archivistodon @histodons @litterature @CharlesNepote @Poslovitch je suis un grand admirateur de l'écriture de cette époque, et il existe, forcément, un univers alternatif où je suis paléographe et où j'entre dans l'intimité de ces tracés.

Mais dans cet univers je suis un pauvre clown qui ne peut s'empêcher de penser (et d'écrire) qu'il y a moyen d'attaquer aux prud'hommes pour vice de forme (illisibilité) .

Historian here.

This sort of thing--increasingly common--is not helpful to your cause. The more so as we mark V-E Day and the defeat of #Nazism.

Jewish students had put forward a motion stating that they deserved full rights in the ANU--and supporting a two-state solution

@CitizenWald @histodons @worldwarshistory It should take less than 5 seconds of introspection to realize what a fucked up and intentionally hateful, bigoted gesture this is. The fact that these protesters couldn't even muster that much effort speaks volumes about how rotten parts of this movement are.

If you get intimidated by the dirty pigeons in your local park or town center, you may only have yourself — or at least, your ancestors — to blame. Snopes looks at the urban legend that humans originally domesticated pigeons to be companions and no pigeons cannot survive without humans, and finds it mostly true.

I asked the pigeons that have swarmed and taken over my house and they rated this mostly true.

The first board game printed in America was called "The Travellers' Tour." It described itself as a "pleasing and instructive pastime," and consists of a hand-colored map of the then-24 states, with numbered circles, and a numbered list of 139 towns and cities. The game used a teetotum — an alternative to dice but without the gambling connotations — and was based on players' memories and geographical knowledge. Here's @TheConversationUS's Matthew Wynn Sivils on what the game can teach us about the U.S. in the 19th century. Tell us in the comments what board games you recommend!

HARP. To harp upon; to dwell upon a subject. Have among you, my blind harpers; an expression used in throwing or shooting at random among the crowd.

    I see what you mean, but that's not what's happening here?

    "HARP" is the headword. Two examples of the word "harp" or its derivatives, used in context, then follow.

    It stands as the crowning achievement of Western classical music.

    200 years ago today, Beethoven premiered his instantly beloved Symphony No. 9 in D minor.

    Widely praised as a groundbreaking composition, the symphony has and continues to influence artists across the cultural spectrum, and to spark joy.

    @TheConversationUS @histodons Dudes. ‘Crowning achievement of Western classical music'?

    Only if you look at everything through a romanticism-tinged lens and ignore 500+ years of music before Beethoven and 200 years of music after.

    Beethoven 9 is a great piece of music. But it's hardly 'The Best Piece of Music Ever.'

    There is loads of wonderful music out there that is equally as important and inspiring.

    TUP RUNNING. A rural sport practised at wakes and fairs in Derbyshire; a ram, whose tail is well soaped and greased, is turned out to the multitude; any one that can take him by the tail, and hold him fast, is to have him for his own.
