The Department of Greek and Latin, University College London, with the collaboration of the Department of Classics, King's College London, is pleased to announce a training day on working with Greek poetic fragments, to take place at UCL, 2 July 2014.
Training Day on the methodology of working with Greek Poetic Fragments (2 July 2014)
The training day, led by an international team of distinguished papyrologists and literary scholars, is primarily addressed to postgraduate/doctoral students who work on ancient literary texts and wish to develop or improve the technical skills needed to treat fragments. The workshop team will offer basic guidance on key aspects of methodology. The day's agenda will be split into two parts:
a) A methodological session (morning) which will include a number of lectures addressing issues such as hands and styles, marginalia, scholia, other kinds of annotation in papyri, the use of abbreviations, sigla, lacunae, indirect tradition, etc.
b) A practical session (afternoon) which will include a number of workshops during which the participants will have the opportunity to work with specific papyri and fragments as case studies and put the principles into practice.
To increase the benefit for participants, material to be treated during the workshop (papyri, diplomatic transcriptions, translations, some bibliography) will be distributed well in advance, giving participants time to prepare.
