Curious about the connection between philology and heresiology in Roman antiquity? Do you wonder why everyone hated Marcion? www.mohrsiebeck.com/en/article/a... Thanks @sabrinainowlocki.bsky.social for the chance to explore these questions!

Challenging philological and critical understandings of authenticity, The Authentic Paul tells the story of numerous critical scholars, from antiquity to the modern period, who have laboured to make a book of Paul’s letters free from textual variation and forgery. buff.ly/nNkVMjQ

Forthcoming from OUP, early 2025 (featuring Peter from GA 1751)

A book cover with the title Scriptural Figures and the Fringes of the New Testament Canon, by Kelsie G. Rodenbiker. The image is of the Apostle Peter from GA 1751. He holds a scroll with the beginning of 1 Peter and around his head are bubbles of text affirming his status as the "chief of the apostles."

How did so many Egyptian antiquities end up at @romtoronto.bsky.social ? We know a little more about this process now thanks to two letters of BP Grenfell, which I have now published and contextualized.

Inky paw print on a sherd from Thebes, Egypt, recording Maieuris paid their taxes at around 94 CE. I've flipped the image so the paw print is facing up & the text is inverted. My guess is this was a cat, it's a cat kinda thing to do no? But I'm not an expert. 6.5x6.4cm #MuseumWork #RomanEgypt #Cats

Honored to be included among esteemed colleagues in @kelsbot.bsky.social's special issue of Early Christianity, "Perceptions of Pseudepigraphy across the Ancient Mediterranean." Let me know if you need a PDF and I'll be happy to send one your way—whenever I myself manage to download it 🙃

First page of a journal article by J. Gregory Given titled "Discerning Fiction in the Letters of Ignatius of Antioch." Abstract: Interpretive difficulties in the letters attributed to Ignatius of Antioch have long suggested to some readers that these letters are pseudepigrapic. This article builds upon recent work on ancient letter collections to consider whether some versions of Ignatius's letters might be read as works of fiction. Acknowledging the epistemological difficulty of recognizing ancient epistolary fiction, I present an initial reading of the Greek Long Recension that highlights the narrative arc and some literary tropes evident in the collection. In particular, I compare the correspondence between Ignatius and Mary of Cassabola with features of the imperial romances, especially a notable letter exchange in Leucippe and Clitophon.
