Tuesdays, 11am-12. 

Due to popular request we have descended from Beatrice-worthy heights (the I-House cafe) to the nether-regions of Dwinelle (Hist Grad Lounge, 2414 Dwinelle).  We will be finishing up Einhard on Charlemagne over the next couple of weeks; I have extra copies of the text, but we've been skipping around according to whim, so I can't say what section we will read next.  What awaits post-Einhard is undecided.  If you want to exert influence, start coming now: a candidate who isn't nominated can't get elected.

A dose of medieval . . .

Pisces dicti unde et pecus, a pascendo scilicet. Reptilia ideo dicuntur haec quae natant, eo quod reptandi habeant speciem et naturam; quamvis se in profundum inmergant, tamen in natando repunt.

                                                                  Isidore of Seville, Etymologies, De piscibus, XII.vi
