Recommended Resources for Classics - Fields of Study

The first phase of the project concentrates on the scholar and professional reader Gabriel Harvey – a near contemporary of the Elizabethan poet-courtier Edmund Spenser – who left behind a uniquely large corpus of personal manuscript annotations in early printed books. The breadth and range of these annotations have proved an invaluable source for historians, although their study has been significantly hampered by constraints of time, geographical distance and other resource limitations placed on scholars by the dispersal of Harvey’s collection across libraries throughout Britain, Europe, and north America. The Archaeology of Reading will reformulate a significant number of these scattered volumes within a curated collection of digitized early modern books annotated by several major figures such as Harvey and John Dee, offering users a range of opportunities to explore and mine their notes for data, match up marginalia from one book to related notes found in another, create links to other book citations, and reconstruct reading strategies by stitching together various intellectual patchworks and thematic consistencies. These functions will be enhanced by the project team’s commitment to making both printed text and manuscript annotations available both in the languages in which they originally appear in the sources, as well as through English translation. These manuscript notes will be fully transcribed and searchable in a machine-readable form.

"History of Classical Scholarship (HCS) is the first academic journal exclusively devoted to the history of the studies on the Greek and Roman world, in a broad thematic and chronological sense. We welcome contributions on any aspects of the history of classical studies, in any geographical context, from the Middle Ages to the whole twentieth century, and are keen to host papers covering the whole range of the discipline: from ancient history to literary studies, from epigraphy and numismatics to art history and archaeology, from textual criticism to religious and linguistic studies. We also welcome editions of significant items from the Nachlässe of classical scholars, including letters and documents that may shed light on matters of historical or historiographical interest. We publish papers in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish."

"By agreement with John Cherry and Jack Davis, the editors of the second edition (1995) of the International Directory of Aegean Prehistorians, Nestor will maintain a searchable index of the contents of the directory (now referred to as the third edition, ongoing). An extended Preface to the second edition, a unique snapshot of the profession in 1994, is available here as a pdf document.
