In searching out this word, I also discovered that Bar Bahlul (fl. mid-10th C) cited one "Ibn Sina," but presumably not the famous #IbnSina who died in 1037 CE, who was not born until c. 980 CE. Bar Bahlul describes his "Ibn Sina" as "I asked the Rumi (Byzantine?) physician Ibn Sina about this." According to the digitized text of Bar Bahlul's dictionary in the Simtho corpus, Bar Bahlul cites Ibn Sina five times, all in the first letter of the alphabet, and never thereafter.
This is like the phenomenon that if you share a name with a really famous person, no one can ever find you on the internet.
Does anyone happen to know anything about this #Byzantine(?) physician named Ibn Sina in the tenth century, probably in #Baghdad?

One of the things I did not expect when I started editing this #medieval #Syriac text (#Shbadnaya 's magnum opus) was catching places where he must have misinterpreted his own source(s). He never cites Bar Bahlul, but he uses hundreds of glosses from Bar Bahlul's dictionary, so it's one of his most important sources.
Today again I tried to explain a word in Shbadnaya's work which is not in any dictionary (ܡܦ̈ܘܫܐ), and the closest I can find anywhere is in Bar Bahlul's definition of "luminary" (ܡܲܢܗܪܢܐ), where he gives as synonyms ܐܡܦܘܡܐ and ܐܡܦܘܫܐ (a near match, with an extra letter in front). Bar Bahlul then defines it as "which gives light to the house and is called al-rawzana" (ܕܡܲܢܗܪ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܘܡܬܩܪܐ الرَوزَنة). The last word is #Persian and means "window," but Shbadnaya seems to be referring to a lamp, so perhaps he didn't understand the Persian word in Bar Bahlul.
Even Bar Bahlul's form ܐܡܦܘܫܐ seems to be a mistake for ܐܡܦܘܦܐ (a different penultimate letter)!

At the International Congress on Medieval Studies last May, I sat for an interview with Earl Fontainelle of the excellent Secret History of Western Esotericism podcast about my work on the 13th-c. Sufi occultist Ahmad al-Buni. That conversation has recently appeared as a pair of podcasts. I can't bring myself to listen to them, but other people tell me they came out pretty well.

Archaeologists working at Neuenburg Castle in central Germany have discovered the remains of one of the original towers that protected the main entrance to the fortress. They were surprised that the tower, which was built around the year 1100, was octagonal in shape.
Neuenburg Castle was built at the end of the 11th century by the Thuringian count Ludwig der Springer, and then expanded in the 13th century.

Sequel to my previous post featuring Nur and Azad with his War-Chicken Tara.
Thankfully, the misunderstanding was all cleared! Azad is a very chill dude, and he's showing Nur mercy.
Tara, on the other hand, took the fact Nur was aiming at her very personally, misunderstanding or not. :P

Visited the abandoned silver/copper/barite mine in Hallwangen, 72280 Germany. It’s a rather interesting one as it dates back to #medieval times and is still excavated by voluntary workers. The earliest record found dates back to 12C and the upper mining gallery “Himmlisch Heer” shows markings that are the result of hand tools while the second gallery “Irmgardsglück” has holes for explosives drilled with machines powered by compressed air. That part also has wider tunnels while the upper part is mostly crawl spaces.
The mine was abandoned and reopened several times for different reasons. The last activity was in 1912 and some stuff like an old rail for push cars and parts of electric installations can still be seen to this day.
I liked especially that we were allowed to walk through the mine at our own pace. I remember a visit to another mine where we were ushered along so fast that the children had trouble keeping up. Not so in this case. Our guide was very friendly and described everything in an exciting way so the children would even pay attention 😀
Speaking of, the guide noticed my interest in the medieval part of the mine and recommended me the De Re Metallica (yes, like the band 🤘) by Georg Agricola, which is apparently a treasure drove on historic mining operations (and myths) and lucky me: A translation in English is available on Project Gutenberg (as well as the original Latin text) – figures included.
I can totally recommend a tour. We got to see a lot of interesting stuff packaged with fascinating stories and explanations. Been to some mines in my life already but seldom did I get to see so many details in such tiny tunnels. Granted, most mines were rather modern and huge drilled exclusively with modern machines.
If you visit don’t forget to greet the tunnel at the entrance with the classic “Glück auf!” shout of the local miners for safe passage and fortune.

A friend shared this with me the other day and I can't stop returning to it - the Ebstorf mappa mundi c.1320, discovered in a convent in Lower Saxony.
30 goatskins stitched together - about about 12ft by 12ft - "1,500 text entries, 534 cities, 500 buildings, 160 bodies of water, 60 islands & mountains, 45 people & mythical creatures, & around 60 animals." (from the German wiki page)
Somehow feels similar to a Tibetan mandala - a sacred kind of geometry.
Time to introduce two new characters: Azad, the desert nomad, and his trusted war-chicken Tara. He was exiled from his tribe after killing his own uncle (who was an absolute piece of garbage) and now he roams the desert doing whatever he pleases.
He lives in the same general area as my other character Nur, but the relationship between sedentary catfolk and nomads is tense to say the least.

So I’m 100% with @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.ioview that people getting conservative as they age is a lie. (My 86 year old dad has gotten more liberal and militant with age. same for my mom before she passed.)
But … I’m finding that I’m preferring old & #medieval things the older I get. (I literally just bought a leather costrel on Etsy) They’re simpler, more environmentally friendly and durable things and suddenly I’m like … oh god, am I turning “conservative”?! Like literally, that’s conserving old stuff …
