The new project mapping 7,000+ ancient letters is impressive: romanletters.org . The database & geolocation (although noting Pleiades rather than just AWMC would be nice) are great. But I absolutely cannot get over use of AI—however transparent—for translation. 🚨 Value human translators 🚨

AI translation transparency
Modern English translations were produced using Claude (Anthropic), working from either the Latin/Greek original or an existing 19th-century English version. Translation work was guided by two internal documents: a translation guide covering late antique epistolary conventions, rhetorical register, and how to handle common formulaic phrases; and a modern voice guide specifying tone, vocabulary level, and how to avoid archaism while remaining faithful to the original.
Al-generated translations are clearly marked in the interface. They are provided for accessibility and research convenience, not as authoritative scholarly translations. The original Latin or Greek is preserved alongside every translation, and 19th-century English versions are shown where available. Corrections from domain experts are
welcome.

Since I've been grumpy about distant-reading of lyrics, let me share this spectacular figure from Sobchuk & Beheim 2025, which traces two themes in Eng fiction 1850-1940, and decomposes change to new-authors, author-exits, and individual-change. Real progress in our understanding here.

Figs 6a and 6b from https://royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article/292/2040/20242033/104775/Does-literature-evolve-one-funeral-at-a-time-Does

Decomposed trendlines that illustrate two scenarios, earlier demonstrated with simulations (figure 3). (a) A topic of war, coinciding with the First World War. It is a clear example of a change associated with an abrupt external event, when authors of various age cohorts stopped writing whatever they were writing before and began writing about this, most pressing, issue. As expected, the surge around the war is associated with the positive effect of individual change. (b) A topic of the Wild West, strongly associated with frontier fiction. This topic is driven by a cohort effect: its growth is associated with the entrance of many new authors (thus, positive entrance effect), and the decline coincides with the retirement of authors (negative exit effect). So, the topic was mostly used by a particular generation of writers and ceased existing when this generation retired.
