Morning Medieval Miscellany

A quick MMM before heading off to Nawlins.

• Cranky Professor uncrankily discusses the layers in a 9th century mosaic.
• Eileen Joy reminds us of the "Glossing is Glorious" conference this weekend, as does Nic D'Alessio.
• Lingwe calls into question the math of my student calculating the Miltonian distance between Heaven and Hell.
• Magistra et Mater has a post on rationality and irrationality in medieval economics.
• News for Medievalists has updates on the medieval implications of the recent earthquake in Italy.
• Apparently, medieval Hungarians ritually sacrificed dogs. h/t Ninalog
• The final arrange for the K'zoo medieval bloggers meet-up are set.
• Quid Plura has an image of a little-known avatar of Thor.
• Steven Till has a post on Cerdic, first king of Wessex.
• Studies of Popular Culture and the Middle Ages has their mission statement, a list of relevant sessions at PCA/ACA this week, and a CfP for the International Congress on Medievalism.

Unless I get unexpected internet access, probably no blogging until Saturday at the earliest.
