This week we report on the BABEL Working Group Meeting – perhaps the most unusual medieval studies conference you can attend. We also have an interview with Alfred J. Andrea and Andrew Holt about their new book Seven Myths of the Crusades, and share with you our favourite parts of Richard de Bury’s Philobiblon – The Love of Books.
