Reposted from the ISAW Library blog (post by Jasmine Smith) With the spread of Covid-19, institutions related to the study of antiquity are finding new and creative ways to continue to engage with their communities and wider audiences.

These include virtual conferences, museum exhibits, and even virtual tours of ancient places. The ISAW Library staff have attended various virtual events.

I’ve been asked to write about the Center for Hellenic Studies from the perspective of someone who has just recently completed their Ph.D. in Classics (I graduated from Harvard in May of 2019); in addition, I will talk about some of my work for the Open Greek and Latin […] more

Brill includes new statement on the ethics of publishing provenanced texts

January 22, 2020 Posted by David Ratzan under News, Professional Ethics
No Comments

The publication of texts and objects remains a core activity in ancient studies, but the last two decades have witnessed a heightened sensitivity to the importance of provenance, both as a necessary object of scholarly investigation and as a central tenet of professional academic ethics. Recent scandals related to faked manuscripts (e.g., the so-called “Gospel of Jesus’s Wife”) and looted objects or stolen objects or texts (e.g., the alleged theft and sale of Oxyrhynchus papyri by Prof. Dirk Obbink) have proved to be object lessons in the scholarly and ethical obligation to take a careful and critical stance on issue […] more
