Sir Edward the Infantile didn’t want to leave the castle grounds that night, so for what was likely the first time in recorded history, he covered his ears and employed the now infamous “LA-LA-LA, I CAN’T HEAR YOU!!” tactic - 14th century, Bodleian Lib., MS. Bodl. 264, f. 152v

I would be remiss not to mention the passing earlier this year of Francis Newton, emeritus professor of classics at Duke University, two weeks shy of his 97th birthday.
Francis was one of the most eminent palaeographers of his generation, and he remained active and engaged up to his passing, continuing to publish and attend conferences well into his 90s. But in addition to his scholarship, he was gentleman, kind and attentive to anyone asking advice, and especially encouraging to younger scholars.

Manuscript sold for €300 is now attributed to Cyrano de Bergerac – but questions remain about the play’s authorship
French researchers recently published an edition of a previously unknown 17th-century French play that they argue could be attributed to the French satirist and dramatist Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac.
