Don't think I'll be able to make the short flight to Reykjavik unfortunately.
Nigel was a great scholar and a lovely man and this is a very fitting tribute.

He was wonderful. He covered for my St Hilda’s tutor’s sabbatical one term and also coached us in how to analyse exam questions to write good exam essays, which was literally a life skill.

Thank you, Jo, we're very glad you think so.

Oh Nigel Palmer was a wonderful tutor. Abiding memories: him playing snatches of mediaeval music in lectures on a recorder (a bit Lucky Jim!) and my turning up for a tutorial in his room at Oriel drenched by a heavy shower and him running to find me a towel. 1/2
The back cover of the new issue of @@mediumaevum.bsky.social features my predecessor, the late great Nigel Palmer, with an appeal for the travel fund being established in his name. For more on that, visit mediumaevum.org.uk/donate/palme... .
The latest issue of @@mediumaevum.bsky.social in my editorial hands and soon to be in yours. It ranges from Beowulf to Henry VIII, from Sicily to Scandinavia, and includes articles by the likes of @@edolmans.bsky.social, plus a review of recent Silk Roads exhibitions by @@peterfrankopan.bsky.social.
