B: Focus is reconsideration of evidence for how Strabo is positioned as an author in relation to Roman world

— Ryan Horne (@RyanMHorne) March 28, 2017

B: Key question: Is Strabo inside / outside Roman world? Is he more “hellenistic” than Roman?

— Ryan Horne (@RyanMHorne) March 28, 2017

B: Roman world in life of Strabo is *not* static – is developing and changing.

— Ryan Horne (@RyanMHorne) March 28, 2017

B: Strabo’s outlook, based on geography is him as a geographer – history is him as a historian. These are different.

— Ryan Horne (@RyanMHorne) March 28, 2017

B: Historical work plausibly included a sequel to Polybius – question is what is the other terminus? When did he close his history?

— Ryan Horne (@RyanMHorne) March 28, 2017

B: Strabo from a Greek family that was politically engaged in Anatolia when the Romans started involvement in the East.

— Ryan Horne (@RyanMHorne) March 28, 2017

B’s discussion of Amasya reminds me of ancient borderlands

— Ryan Horne (@RyanMHorne) March 28, 2017

B: Opinion has swung between Strabo as peripheral observer of the Roman world or as a metropolitan figure aligned w / Augustan principate.

— Ryan Horne (@RyanMHorne) March 28, 2017

B: Thinks the writer of the entry in the Suda knows no more about Strabo than we do (possibly even less!)

— Ryan Horne (@RyanMHorne) March 28, 2017

B: On balance, Strabo’s name probably given at birth or acquired soon after, reflecting parental choice.

— Ryan Horne (@RyanMHorne) March 28, 2017

B: However, the choice of Strabo does betray some Roman political / cultural influence.

— Ryan Horne (@RyanMHorne) March 28, 2017

B: Does demonstrate Strabo was born into an area that was bicultural – Roman and Greek.

— Ryan Horne (@RyanMHorne) March 28, 2017

B: Thinks it is safe to say Strabo was, however, an outsider in terms of Roman power

B: Strabo’s history disappears by 2nd / 3rd century, geography is a slow burner – quoted extensively after.

— Ryan Horne (@RyanMHorne) March 28, 2017

B: Thinks Strabo’s history became politically irrelevant; therefore not as focused on Roman history.

Hello @JBPiggin. Happy to tell you more. A project has been on-going for more than 10 years to identify all Latin medical MSS in long 12thC

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

Project picks up where Beccaria's 1956 survey of 9-11C MSS left off. (See citation.) So why is long 12thC (1075-1225) important? @JBPiggin pic.twitter.com/24Wsdsivjt

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

Because in this period Latin medicine transformed in several v. important ways. 1) rediscovered old Latin translations (eg Hipp.) @JBPiggin

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

2) Started editing many of these old transs (eg alphabetizing old Dioscorides and recipe collections). Urb. lat. 1383 is example. @JBPiggin

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

3) This was also period of Constantine the African's transs. from Arabic. Trans'd at least 24 diff. texts, incl. De urina cited. @JBPiggin

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

4) Also in S. Italy (perhaps also at @M_C_A_B_B_E_Y) several medical texts were trans'd from Greek. Together, new editions + … @JBPiggin

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

5) + new transs. laid foundation for new medical corpus of 12thC, which is what work at "school" of Salerno was based on. @JBPiggin

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

6) In 2nd half of 12thC, more transs. were made: Burgundio of Pisa trans'd from Greek; Gerard of Cremona trans'd from Arabic. @JBPiggin

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

7) My current list of "long 12thC" medical MSS currently has 550 items. More to be discovered, w/ digitization projects. @JBPiggin

— Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld (@monicaMedHist) February 5, 2017

8) Prelim. studies can be found here: https://t.co/Gy1RceNmG9. Likely that v. soon we will have whole new narrative of #histmed. @JBPiggin

Latest Marathon Reading of the Aeneid

March 13, 2013 ~ David Meadows ~ rogueclassicist ~ Leave a comment

The incipit of a somewhat lengthy piece at Michigan Live:

Thirteen straight hours of poetry reading might sound like many college students’ worst nightmare.

But six Western Michigan University world language students have volunteered for just that, signing on for what is being billed as the university’s first marathon poetry reading this Friday.

Latin 5570, The Teaching of Latin, is holding a read-aloud of Vergil’s epic, “The Aeneid,” on March 15. The enterprise, “To Hell and Back on the Ides of March,” will kick off at 11 a.m. in Knauss Hall and go until all 9,896 lines of the 2,000-year-old poem have been read.

Those of us not versed in lingua Latina – not to worry. The reading will be in English, after a brief opening in which volunteers have offered to read Vergil’s first 11 lines (“I sing of arms and the man”) in about a dozen languages, including Swahili, French, Spanish, Scots and, of course, Latin.

“Our insanity has to have some limits,” said senior Ian Hollenbaugh.

Senior Sean Rogers conducted a trial run by reading the first of the poem’s 12 books aloud. It took 50 minutes and change, he said.

If all goes well, the enterprise should take 12 to 13 hours, with graduate student Sara Miller Schulte joking that Friday’s enterprise is more of a “half-marathon.”

It is the first time WMU has hosted a classics marathon, organizers said. “Homerathons” have cropped up at colleges and universities around the United States in recent years – with readings of “The Odyssey” at Skidmore College in New York, Bucknell University in Ohio, Illinois Wesleyan University and the University of Arizona. […]

What’s unique about this one is that they’ll be livestreaming it … so sometime on the ides you might want to check out their progress at: a marathon reading of virgil’s ‘aeneid
