A Job

• The University of Milan is advertising a three-year research position in “late medieval thought.“ (Thanks to Shane Wilkins for the pointer.)
• Marginally worth noting, in this connection, is that Fordham’s Center for Medieval Studies is advertising their Medieval Fellows Program, which comes with all the privileges of association with Fordham except for a salary.
