Revisiting my research on "Eco-Latin" this afternoon for a paper at the online Prolepsis seminar this afternoon, 3 pm UK time. Fishing in British Neo-Latin waters this time, but Stephen Harrison will talk the Scottish expat George Buchanan and sixteenth-century Paris...

Lovely response from a student in a class on Early Modern France I was observing last week, when I asked why she liked the module: "Culture makes my brain work..." Let's start a range of T-shirts with that slogan!

Besides Warwick University's 60th anniversary, we ought also to celebrate 25 years of Neo-Latin @ Warwick! 😉🎂 Last week I discovered posters for the 2000 & 2001 workshops I organised with the late Peter Mack and Andrew Laird (now at Brown Univ). We're still hosting great NL PhD projects here...

My interest in translations of Latin texts was piqued the weekend before last at the book launch of George Garnett and Magnus Ryan's 2024 translation of Bartolus's "crabbed and terse", "technical, dense and allusive" jurisdict prose full of copyists' errors... Some colleagues do love a challenge 😉🎓!
