Ah, and don't forget to enjoy #RenSA26 and #SanFrancisco on my behalf! ๐๐
Sadly, I won't be able to join the @rsaorg.bsky.social this year due to teaching commitments in Paris, but you'll find @emodir.bsky.social members around such as @stefanovil.bsky.social, @tntwining.bsky.social and more!
If you are not a member yet, do not hesitate to ask questions and join us!!!
Despite the cancellations and issues, the papers (included that of @christinekooi.bsky.social) will hopefully foster fruitful and interesting discussions! :)
If you are at #RenSA26 in #SanFrancisco, don't miss @emodir.bsky.social demonic series of panels, organized by Maria Ivanova in collaboration with @janmachielsen.bsky.social and @stefanovil.bsky.social! ๐๐๐

Thank you, Christine. I'm sorry I won't be able to meet you in person at RSA, but I hope we'll have opportunities to connect soon!
Thrilled to chair and co-organize three EMoDiR panels at RSA San Francisco 2026 on The Devil and Dissent: from demonology and Reformation polemic to political demonization and gendered stage representations #RenTwitter #earlymodern #RenTwitter #earlymodern

We look forward to strengthening EMoDiR as an open, collaborative, international network and to supporting new research on religious minorities, dissent, and radicalism in the early modern world.
We are also deeply grateful to EMoDiRโs founding scholars (@stefanovil.bsky.social, Daniela Solfaroli Camillocci, Adelisa Malena, Federico Barbierato, but also @pagurusbernhardus.bsky.social), whose vision and dedication built this vibrant community.
Warm thanks to Xenia von Tippelskirch for her outstanding leadership, generosity, and guidance over the years โ and for continuing to support us during this transition.
Iโm delighted to share that my colleague Francesco Quatrini (Universitร di Firenze) and I (@sorbonneparis1.bsky.social) have been elected co-directors of @emodir.bsky.social (Early Modern Religious Dissents and Radicalism) at the latest General Assembly.

๐ฎ๐น CALLING ITALIAN NATIVE (OR NEAR-NATIVE) SPEAKERS ๐ฎ๐น
Are you fluent in Italian?
Join me in transcribing & editing Moraisโs Italian materialsโor share with your Italian-speaking students, friends & colleagues. Itโs easy & fun! ๐
This work also ties into my @ec.europa.eu #MSCA BookSHUK project at Modena and Penn. Especially fascinating: Moraisโs exchanges with Marco Mortara (1815โ1894), which illuminate Jewish book circulation, private libraries & Italian-American intellectual networks ๐๐
Under the guidance of Laura Newman Eckstein & Arthur Kiron, my work involves transcribing and editing AI-generated transcriptions of Moraisโs Italian letters.
These letters are preserved at Pennโs

Sabato Morais (1823โ1897) was an Italian-American rabbi of Portuguese descent from Livorno, Hazzan in Londonโs Spanish & Portuguese Synagogue, Rabbi of Mikveh Israel in Philadelphia from 1850. Educator, philanthropist & co-founder of the Jewish Theological Seminary in NY
Iโm delighted to share that Iโve joined the Sabato Morais Transcription Project @upenn.edu as part of my internship for the JTS/AJL Graduate Certificate in Hebraica & Judaica Librarianship.
