Congratulations to the 25 humanities researchers who have received a 2025 Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) from Australian Research Council — including Dr Emma Cole who delivered the 2024 Trendall Lecture [bit.ly/3PZ4c34] & Humanities Travelling Fellowship recipient,

It's here friends! The latest issue of Parergon - an open issue with something for everyone: Orderic Vitalis, Spenser, Chinese translations of Chaucer, plus special clusters of articles on Renaissance art & science and medieval and early modern poetry. muse.jhu.edu/issue/51926

Where to start with such an exciting issue of Parergon? Horses anyone? Pia F. Cuneo's open access article looks at Hans Baltung's puzzling woodcuts of cavorting horses: "Art, Sex, and Science: Talking about Horses in Hans Baldung's 1534 Woodcuts". muse.jhu.edu/pub/62/article…

Call for Papers via The Medici Archive Project ➡️ The Medici and the Princely Courts of Central and Eastern Europe. October 15, 2024 deadline: ow.ly/IC4q50Tgy5q #RenTwitter #earlymodern

Now, what else do we have from Parergon vol 41.1? A special article cluster on Renaissance art and science! In her introduction to the cluster, Andrea Bubenik looks at the fuzzy boundary between art and science in early modern thought. muse.jhu.edu/pub/62/article…

Let's keep going with our survey of Parergon Journal's themed articles on Renaissance art and science. Emily Poore's article looks at the Isenheim Altarpiece, examining Grünewald's paintings depict the physical and spiritual symptoms of disease. muse.jhu.edu/pub/62/article…

Next up from Parergon Journal's cluster of articles on Renaissance art and science is Pia Cuneo's open access article on Hans Baltung's puzzling woodcuts of cavorting horses. Artistic ingenuity? Symbols of sexuality? Just horses? muse.jhu.edu/pub/62/article…

Our final article from Parergon Journal 41.1's cluster of articles on Renaissance art & science is from Peter Mason, looking at the intersection of numismatics and botany. Yes really. It's a fascinating detective tale that spans the 1st to 15th centuries. muse.jhu.edu/pub/62/article…
