If you trained a large language model on the masters dissertations from the Canon Law course at Cardiff University, would this be the canonical LLM LLM?

I spot two grants of arms, and is that a charter under the Great Seal?

Well there was going to be a thread, but I kept getting the "you are over the daily limit for sending Tweets" message despite sending a grand total of two tweets from this account, and scheduling doesn't work with replies. So you can read it on mastodon: hcommons.social/@dr_pda/109831…

So this slide from @spil030's talk to @burgonsoc sent me on a deep dive into the provision of tertiary education in colonial #Auckland. I was sure that there had been university education in Auckland earlier than 1883. Thread.

Legally inclined followers might be interested in my recent post on Mastodon in which I discover that conveyance by livery of seisin has been abolished in New Zealand every few decades since 1842! hcommons.social/@dr_pda/109505…

I see under "Miscellaneous", @Sotherans used to offer "Arms found, printed, and engraved". This reminds of my unfinished survey of the 19th century heraldic trades, where heraldic stationers or "heraldic offices" offered similar. A useful reminder to check general stationers too.
