Topics
The scientific meeting “Ancient Greek Theatre in the Digital Age” aims to explore the challenges and limitations of digital tools in the study of ancient Greek theatre. We especially look for papers that present experiences, project proposals and research perspectives relating to:
a) digital critical editions of ancient Greek dramas, including fragmentary ones, and of ancient scholia to plays;
b) collaborative and open access editions of ancient Greek dramas and new paradigms of authorship and accessibility in the digital age;
c) digital archives and online lexica of ancient Greek theatre.

International Conference “Ancient Sexuality Revisited”
(King's College London, June 26-28th 2025)
Organised by Jean-Christophe COURTIL (Toulouse/Institut Universitaire de France) and Martin DINTER (King's College London)

Great battles have been fought in the field of Ancient Sexuality in the past. While not all scores may have been settled, research has moved beyond some debates which have long dominated the field. “Ancient Sexuality Revisited” invites abstract of up to 300 words which reflect the recent shift in interest towards engagement with ancient law, ancient science and ancient medicine. We encourage readings which showcase how ancient sexuality permeates Greek and Roman literature and culture and highlight the ramifications of ancient law, science and medicine for the conceptualisation of ancient sexuality.

This book sheds new light on the Latin background of various Old English homilies, and of certain homilies from related vernacular traditions. Two broad themes are treated, the Nativity of Christ and Christian eschatology; the volume contains five Latin texts dealing with each theme. Critical editions, full English translations, and detailed introductions and commentaries are included, as well as case studies that demonstrate the relevance of each text to one or more homilies written in Old English, and, in a few cases, early Middle English and Old Norse. While the volume is intended for scholars of early English preaching, many of the texts hold considerable intrinsic interest and should have general appeal for medievalists, students of preaching, and those working on the transmission of biblical apocrypha in the Latin West.
