SOLINUS IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
Some of us who are fascinated by Solinus’ astonishingly influential and amazingly neglected Collectanea Rerum Memorabilum are gathering to talk about him and it in Craigard 26, School of Classics at St Andrews on Monday 13th June. Participants will include Eran Almagor (Ben Gurion), Kai Brodersen (Erfurt) and Andy Merrills (Leicester).
There will be no formal papers but we aim to talk about the following themes, each led by one of us.
9.00 WELCOME
9.15 Text and Context (Kai Brodersen)
10.00 Reading Some Solinus. (One or more passages will be circulated to participants in advance)

16.00 TEA
16.30 Solinus, where next? (General Discussion)
