17 Nov 1625: Gian Battista Rinuccini #otd consecrated as Archbishop of Fermo #otd He became a divisive papal nuncio to #Ireland's Catholic Confederation in the 1640s
Oh - and he was also a best-selling novelist
We have some very exciting update to share (and made ourselves an early Christmas present): Last week we granted the imprimatur for the #emdiplomacy handbook!
Now we can hardly wait for December and the publication of the book.
Kinesisk pandadiplomti är väl det mestkända exemplet på hur djur används som diplomatiska aktörer och objekt. Att använda djur inom #diplomati, t.ex. som gåvor är inte ett modernt fenomen utan kan redan ses i det förflutna, på 1700-, 1600- och 1500-talen, och även längre tillbaka. @emdiplomacy berättar regelbundet om och diskuterar tidigmodern diplomati. Och ibland även pandor.
Så används pandorna i Kinas diplomatiska spel https://www.dn.se/varlden/sa-anvands-pandorna-i-kinas-diplomatiska-spel/
The only one apparently not pleased about the conclusion of the #PeaceOfWestphalia was ultra-Catholic Cologne principal #envoy Wartenberg, who locked himself in his quarters & demonstratively displayed his displeasure. Despite the conclusion of the #WestphalianPeaceTreaty is generally considered to mark the end of the #ThirtyYearsWar, the #WestphalianPeaceCongress continued into 1649. The peace had no legal validity until it was ratified, nor was it a reality until it was implemented. 5/5
Cannon salvos were fired several times that day. At noon and in the evening between 8 and 10 o'clock, the city's cannons fired three salvos each. But the companies in Münster also fired gun salvos throughout the day to celebrate the peace. 4/5

A procession consisting of a kettledrum player and 6 to 8 trumpeters as well as the town secretary, followed by three horsemen, paraded through the squares and streets of the town, publicly announcing the conclusion of the #PeaceOfWestphalia. The secretary showed the #WestphalianPeaceTreaty in public - this was as necessary as the announcement to make the abstraction of peace vivid and concrete and thus comprehensible. 3/5
#emdiplomacy
During the services, three companies of citizens with rifles stood in the cathedral square and three armed companies of soldiers stood in the market place. - This both shows the solemnity of the occasion, but also the need to guarantee public order. After the service, the city's mayors and councillors went to the flag-draped town hall to prepare for the public proclamation of the #PeaceOfWestphalia. Like the town hall, other buildings in the city were decorated. 2/5

#OTD 25 October 1648 the solemn publication of the #PeaceOfWestphalia took place in Münster & Osnabrück. #emdiplomacySources inform us in particular about the events in Münster, where the #WestphalianPeaceTreaty had been signed the day before: The day began with thanksgiving services of all denominations. Catholic #envoys gathered in the cathedral church, Lutheran #diplomats met at the Swedish envoys. Reformed envoys held their service in Brandenburg envoy Wittgenstein's house. 1/5 #emdiplomacy
First proofs for the upcoming #emdiplomacy #handbook are here - that does not only mean a lot of work for authors and editors but also that things are becoming real.
Storm Hans stopped me from my travel plans. Instead I spend my time watching the rain and proofreading the #emdiplomacy handbook manuscript. There are both worse and funnier things.
Die beste Art sich vor dem Habilschreiben zu drücken, ist 800 Seiten Druckfahnen vom #emdiplomacy #handbook zu prüfen.
Currently, reading proofs of the #emdiplomacy handbook. And I'm regularly puzzled by English hyphenation. (This doesn't mean German rules are logical. 😉)
Is there a better place to read the #emdiplomacy handbook proofs than on my balcony?
Checking proofs and especially English hyphenation of the #emdiplomacy handbook, I get more and more convinced that it's the same with English hyphenation as with the history of Schleswig-Holstein (according to prime minister Palmerston): Only three persons have understood it, one is dead; the second has gone mad; and the third one has forgotten all about so not to go mad.
Still correcting the #emdiplomacy #handbook proofs and bribing myself with iced coffee.
