We continue #emdiplomacy insights during #BlackHIstoryMonth and
want to draw your attention to the #Borno sultanate at the shores of Lake #Chad. Like the neighbouring #Kanem sultanate it was ruled by the Sayfawa dynasty from the 14th century. According to Rémi Dewière, “Kanem and Borno extended their commercial and diplomatic networks from Morocco to Mecca in the #middleAges, to northern Ghana and Instanbul in the #earlymodern period, and then to European countries in the 19th century.” The first known Borno diplomat was Idrīs b. Muḥammad, a cousin of the Borno sultan who was mentioned in the context of a mission to the Mamluk Egypt in 1391. In the decade following 1551, the sultans of Borno dispatched two embassies to Tripoli. In 1574 and 1577, the Borno Sultan Idrīs b. ʿAlī sent an ambassador, al-Hāǧǧ Yūsuf, to Istanbul. (1/5)

Bonjour ! #Introduction

Je ne sais jamais quoi dire ici, sans doute parce que je suis l'archétype du mec trentenaire blanc cis de classe moyenne sans intérêt. Le genre de profil omniprésent sur le Web et qui gagne à se faire discret.

Je garde un œil sur ces hashtags :

Hello! My #English is decent enough.

A giant vulva and labia, wearing a crown, and holding a crossbow and what is either a firey torch or a flogger/whip/cat of nine tails, rides on horseback

Medieval brooches sure were something.

Bonjour ! #Introduction

Je ne sais pas encore si je serai très actif ici : mon usage de Twitter était strictement en lecture seule depuis plusieurs années. On verra.

Si je parle, ce sera très vraisemblablement d'une des choses suivantes :

Hi Mastodon!

Here is my #Introduction!

I am a #postdoctoral fellow from the FNRS in #Belgium, at ULiège (UR "Transitions"), on #religious #experiences of #disabled people!

So, an "expert" on #MiddleAges #Disability, #OldAge, and #Gender mostly!

My first book will be out on January 23! Its title: "Disabled clerics in the Late Middle Ages, Un/suitable for divine services?"

I am both proud and frightened, but for now, I have to finish the #Index, so, see you soon here!

The great #historian of the #Chinese #MiddleAges #Tang #唐, Chen Yinke (or -que) #陳寅恪 (1890-1969), spent the last 20 years of his life in #Guangzhou #廣州. Chen, who had lost his eyesight during #middleage, used to take walks on this walkway in shining white concrete leading to his house, as he was still able to distinguish light and dark under the bright #Cantonese sun. I took these photos when I was studying Chinese and #philosophy at Sun Yat-sen University #中山大學 in Guangzhou from 2005 to 2007.

More interested in interacting than content creation mostly though. Thus probably more boosting and commenting than tröting.
