Today marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Arturo Alfonso Schomburg. Born in San Mateo de Cangrejos, Puerto Rico, his collecting, archiving, and writing of global Black history has impacted millions. Muchísimas gracias, Sr. Schomburg por todo. cc: @SchomburgCenter
as always, you don't need to be a member of @MideastMedieval to read/submit to @alusuralwusta. however, membership dues help keep the journal running. please consider becoming a MEMber today. while you’re at it, check out all the other stuff MEM is up to! middleeastmedievalists.com
the article is open access, so you can read, download, & share it here: journals.library.columbia.edu/index.php/alus… here’s the full abstract:
New article alert, kicking off 2024! Join us today with a new article by Mathieu Tillier about a forgotten judge of the Abbasid period—his teachers, his works, & some mysteries about his life. & uncover what he thought about Baghdad in the aftermath of the miḥna (inquisition)
I can't quite believe it's real, but my new article came out in @GlobalHistJnl today! It's about Maya Angelou's work as an anti-colonial journalist in Cairo and Accra, which framed the struggle for civil rights within a global campaign against empire. Link and thread below:
thrilled to announce the publication of Navigating Language in the Early Islamic World: Multilingualism and Language Change in the First Centuries of Islam. The result of a @marcoinstitute symposium, edited by me, Antoine Borrut, & Manuela Ceballos brepols.net/products/IS-97…
@MideastMedieval Thanks for the shoutout @MideastMedieval! We’d love to publicize all of the great work you do on H-Sicily!
My project is an open-access, critical heritage study of the medieval Islamic ceramics of Balis, Syria (750-1260). It will publish six interpretive chapters reflecting a decade of collaborative work with our Syrian colleagues and a catalog of over 1,000 drawings and photographs.

Sure, we talk about Homer's catalogue of ships and Hesiod's catalogue of women, but what about Xenophon's catalogue of good dog names (On Hunting VII.5)? Some of my favorites are Aktis (Sunbeam), Froura (Look-out), Chara (Joy), Augo (Glitter), and Styrax (Spike).
