>>18581281No. I'm an accountant because I like making money.
I considered becoming a historian, but I wanted to make a decent living. So I fucked up and became a lawyer.
>>18581281Although I have no qualifications, I can say undoubtedly that I am the most knowledable person on this board regarding the history of the Crimean Khanate.
>>18581287What books/sources/material did you study/look at?
>>18581291A bunch of PDFs I found online, all in Russian/Turkish.
>>18581295QRD?
>>18581296A year and a half ago, someone on twitter posted a PCA showing the genetic clustering of the Crimean Tatars, it revealed that there was a massive gap between the "Crimean Tatars of the steppe" (presumably the same population represented on G25) and the "Crimean Tatars of the Coast" who clustered between the Greeks and the Anatolian Turks.I immediately became very fascinated with these "south coast Tatars", wanting to know their origins, and so went on a deep dive through various forums and sites to find any information I could on their history, a great deal of the PDFs I mention come from this cite. https://www.azovgreeks.com/A lot of it what I found deals with the demographic situation in Crimea during the early modern period, another PDF I found elsewhere went into great deal about the military structure of the Crimean Khanate.

>>18581281There are no historians here. In fact, little to no history is discussed in this board. It's just constant atheist vs religion threads where the same people repeat the same tired arguments.

>>18581281I am studying the one STEM topic an Emerging New Technology may make obsolete in the near future. I, however, read books™ and when I feel daring, even primary sources™.Thus, following the long tradition of STEM graduates without qualifications I have become irratonally convinced that the Shang Dynasty and the Roman Empire were not only the same state and but also located somewhere within the district of Choluteca in Honduras and the only reason my authoritative collection of newspaper cut outs and pseudo-linguistic word comparisons hasn't been accepted by Academia is because they are being controlled by Judeo-Masonic Jesuits.
>>18581376>late antique and medieval religion and its diffusion in popular societyWhen will your book about the genocide of 14 million Europeans by the Catholic Church be published, anon?
>>18581400I can most assuredly say never, anon.
>>18581406Sorry, I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm just joking. I love the Middle Ages and have studied them since I was little, although with an excessive focus on battles and weapons. I went to a lecture that discussed "medieval genocide" and ciphera as high as 12 million were being thrown around, haha. I'm curious to read your articles, and also what is your opinion on the growing paradigm shift regarding the term "Dark Ages"? You're probably an atheist, but non-Christian authors are gradually abandoning this term because it's too reductionist. And could you recommend some books that specifically deal with the post-Middle Ages and the social and moral changes in the European mentality? Sorry if I seem lazy, but since you're directly involved in academia, perhaps you have some sources at your disposal.
Hey historians, how does it feel to know that your entire profession is looked down upon because you spew propaganda and lies? You just regurgitate text book bullshit and books anyone can read.

>>18581459The academy has refuted all nationalist ideas, what do you have to say about that
>>18581461enjoy your worthless degree
>>18581425No worries, it's cool. I won't post my articles because I do not want to dox myself, but I can guide you to some pieces of literature on the subject, though it's the early middle ages that is my subject area, not so much the late. I will most definitely point you towards the element of superstition and the supernatural in regards to moral changes in the social milieu. Euan Cameron wrote a very handy overview of this called Enchanted Europe, which is an excellent place to start, as it dispels a lot of misconceptions and myths surrounding both medieval and renaissance society. Social and moral change is also deeply connected to the growing reformatory movement of both pre-Lutheran and post-Lutheran sentiments, and therefore it is worth looking into the spread of localized religious action as going hand to hand with rising literacy rates and bouts of political fury and madness. The Münster rebellion is rather relevant here, as an example as it showcases well the mania of the time. and this type of mania, though official authorities condemned would eventually form into much of the moral panic involving witch trials and so on.Therefore, look at pic related, Euan Cameron's book, Disciplined Dissent by Titone, and of course the Cheese and the Worms (the spread of common literacy should not be underestimated for the change in European mentality, with both positive and negative consequences). As for the "Dark Ages" it was arguably abandoned many years ago as a generalized term. While the term was used to describe a lack of extant literature, writing production and capability, this is no longer seen as the case as medieval Europe was still a hotbed of literature production and copyist tradition. The only place that can arguably be called "Dark Ages" is 6th to 7th century England, as for this brief period of time largely only Bede survives and much of our local knowledge comes from him, but Bede was extremely educated so his library in Northumbria was great.
>>18581468Merely the pendulum swinging. It’ll swing back and then back to the left and over and over until everyone dies.
>>18581480Hehe the cheese and the worms, I know about that book.
>>18581281How do I become an effective pseudo intellectual/armchair historian?
>>18581480Is MacCulloch's book on the reformation any good? Just as an introduction, not to get a deep understanding, of course.
>>18581538I only read that a bit cursory a few years back and from my own opinion I prefer the works of Heinz Schilling, but for an introduction, yeah, it's decent. I am always of the idea that a broader cursory glance over a topic is the best kind of introduction there is. Then after that one can delve into more specific subject matters on the chosen study area. So do continue with MacCulloch if you already own it, as he is serious scholar, as well.
>>18581480Thank you very much for the post and the source, anon. And your library seems full. If you were to educate someone about the Middle Ages, what books would you recommend>As for the "Dark Ages" it was arguably abandoned many years ago as a generalized term.

Apparently, there's a certain Enlightenment bias that has been created over time, isn't there?
How do you differentiate between "introductory" and general books to... what exactly?
