Barletta Acropolis College of William and Mary, Virginia University of Florida Katherine Keesling This is the first in-depth study of the Georgetown University, Washington DC pictures found on Attic white lekythois. These funerary vases have long been appreciated for their beautiful polychrome images that evoke the style of lost classical wall and mural paintings. This richly illustrated volume closely examines the four major types of scene: domestic pictures, the mythological conductors of the soul, the prothesis (wake), and visits to the grave. Oakley places these pictures in context, documenting relationships between the ‘rites of passage’, Athenian history, and the changing perceptions of death in fifth- century Athens.

But on this occasion there are a few matters I would like to draw your attention to before returning to my cocoon of silence. First, on a sadder note, we record the passing of three former colleagues, Minor Markle, Geoff Adams and John Jory. Obituaries for each of them may be found heading the contributions from the Universi- ties of New England, Tasmania, and Western Australia respectively. It is clear from the tone of these obituaries the respect and affection in which each of them was held, and we mourn their loss accord- ingly. Requiescant in pace. Secondly, I would like to thank all the institutional reps for their diligence and persistence in soliciting information from their colleagues for inclusion in the Newsletter over the years.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-03823-3 — Encyclopaedism from Antiquity to the Renaissance Edited by Jason König , Greg Woolf Frontmatter More Information Encyclopaedism from Antiquity to the Renaissance There is a rich body of encyclopaedic writing from the two millennia before the Enlightenment. This book sheds new light on this material. It traces the development of traditions of knowledge-ordering which stretched back to Pliny and Varro and others in the classical world. It works with a broad concept of encyclopaedism, resisting the idea that there was any clear pre-modern genre of the ‘encyclopaedia’, and showing instead how the rhetoric and techniques of comprehensive compilation left their mark on a surprising range of texts. In the process it draws attention to both remarkable similarities and striking differ- ences between conventions of encyclopaedic compilation in different periods. The focus is primarily on European/Mediterranean culture. The book covers classical, medieval (including Byzantine and Arabic) and Renaissance culture in turn, and combines chapters which survey whole periods with others focused closely on individual texts as case studies. jason konig¨ is Senior Lecturer in Greek at the University of St Andrews.

  • Ancient Libraries Edited by Jason König, Katerina Oikonomopoulou and Greg Woolf Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-01256-1 - Ancient Libraries Edited by Jason König, Katerina Oikonomopoulou and Greg Woolf Frontmatter More information Ancient Libraries The circulation of books was the motor of classical civilisation. But books were both expensive and rare, and so libraries – private and public, royal and civic – played key roles in articulating intellectual life. This collection, written by an international team of scholars, presents a fundamental reassessment of how ancient libraries came into being, how they were organised and how they were used. Drawing on papy- rology and archaeology, and on accounts written by those who read and wrote in them, it presents new research on reading cultures, on book collecting and on the origins of monumental library buildings. Many of the traditional stories told about ancient libraries are chal- lenged. Few were really enormous, none was designed as a research centre and occasional conflagrations do not explain the loss of most ancient texts. But the central place of libraries in Greco-Roman culture emerges more clearly than ever. jason konig¨ is Senior Lecturer in Greek at the University of St Andrews.

  • How the Social Sciences, Humanities and the Arts Can SHAPE a Positive, Post-Pandemic Future for Peoples, Economies and Environments
    Journal of the British Academy, 8, 167–266 DOI https://doi.org/10.5871/jba/008.167 Posted 2 October 2020 Shape the Future: how the social sciences, humanities and the arts can SHAPE a positive, post-pandemic future for peoples, economies and environments Molly Morgan Jones, Dominic Abrams and Aditi Lahiri Abstract: COVID-19 is the most challenging global public health crisis we have faced for many decades. However, it is more than a health crisis. The impacts go well beyond the medical sphere and are changing lives, livelihoods, communities and economies within and across nation-states. The British Academy launched its Shape the Future initiative in May 2020 to bring insights from the social sciences, humanities and the arts together to understand how we can shape a positive future for people, the econ- omy and the environment post-pandemic. These disciplines have a critical role to play in the handling of and recovery from the pandemic. This paper summarises the discussions held during twenty policy and research workshops which considered topics under three broad themes relevant to the post-pandemic future: revitalising societal well-being, recreating an inclusive economy around purpose, and revisiting the histories and cultures of science, policy and politics. Keywords: COVID-19, society, history, culture, policy, SHAPE. Note on the authors: Dr Molly Morgan Jones is Director of Policy at the British Academy. Dominic Abrams is Professor of Social Psychology and Director of the Centre for the Study of Group Processes, at the University of Kent. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2013, and until July 2020 was the Academy’s Vice President (Social Sciences).
