@AHersheyKow @the_IAS Holy moly!!!

@RUClassics @the_IAS Always delightful to find a good home for duplicate books! The volumes here published through 1936 were purchased in that year by Benjamin Dean Meritt, who was spending a year in Oxford and Athens, from Sir Basil Henry Blackwell for 58 pounds 10 shillings (about $288 dollars).

New to the @RUClassics departmental study collection: a complete set of the Pauly-Wissowa Realencyclopädie (plus supplements & indices). Many thanks to Aaron Hershkowitz (PhD '18; Acquisitions @the_IAS Library) for facilitating the transfer from the Institute for Advanced Study!

This Thurs (15 Feb, 1230 PM), AB 1100 (15 Seminary Place, New Brunswick): Prof Sarah Nooter (@UChicago) speaks on "Lives that bend, lines that break: Simoeisius on the banks in the Iliad". Presented by @RUClassics GSA. Also via ZOOM (register here:) rutgers.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

It's the 175th anniversary (9 Feb) of the foundation of the short-lived Roman Republic of 1849! And as it happens, @RUClassics has collaborated with @HLSlib to digitize 225+ ultra-rare broadsides & pamphlets from Harvard's amazing Italy 1848-49 collection hollisarchives.lib.harvard.edu/repositories/5…

Fantastic news—so pleased to see this great appointment!

On the blog, Vinya Lingamneni (@RUClassics '26) publishes for the 1st time 6 letters of 1707 from Louis XIV & his family to Ippolita Ludovisi, Princess of Piombino, upon the death of her husband Gregorio Boncompagni. So interesting for court communications villaludovisi.org/2024/01/28/new…
