Caro S."For this book Coomans spend countless hours exploring records and archives and the result is a book full of often small, personal stories that introduce us to people long gone, names we would never have known if they at one time had not gotten into trouble with the law or had to apply for a permit. But the book also mercilessly destroys those old myths about those dirty middle ages. Well, at least in the low countries.And even though I, as a Dutch person, rather like the idea that we were somehow special and cleaner than everyone else in Medieval Europe, what this book mentions actually fits what we know about how things were in many other countries and regions."<a href="https://fakehistoryhunter.net/2025/08/17/book-review-community-urban-health-and-environment-in-the-late-medieval-low-countries-by-janna-coomans/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fakehistoryhunter.net/2025/08/17/book-review-community-urban-health-and-environment-in-the-late-medieval-low-countries-by-janna-coomans/</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@histodons</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/MedievalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MedievalHistory</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/hygiene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hygiene</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/TheDarkAgesDontExist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheDarkAgesDontExist</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/FakeHistoryHunter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FakeHistoryHunter</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/LowCountries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LowCountries</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/geschiedenis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#geschiedenis</a>

de.hypothesesWhen studying medieval vernaculars, digital humanists are faced with a major challenge: The lack of standardized spelling. Most Natural Language Processing techniques do not work well for medieval languages.To get around this, Kimberly Lifton trained custom word-to-vector models—tools that map how words relate to each other—on 15th century French manuscripts and inventories mentioning Muslims during the rise of the Ottoman Empire. ⬇<a href="https://dhlab.hypotheses.org/4713" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://dhlab.hypotheses.org/4713</a><a href="https://fedihum.org/tags/DigitalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigitalHistory</a> <a href="https://fedihum.org/tags/MedievalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MedievalHistory</a>

Flipboard Culture DeskIt's like a scene from "The Antiques Roadshow." In 1946, Harvard Law School paid $27.50 for what it believed to be an unofficial copy of the Magna Carta. Two medieval history experts analyzed it and have concluded that it's actually the real deal: A rare, lost original Magna Carta from 1300 (the reign of King Edward I) that could be worth millions.
