December 2010

Simon Corcoran gives a presentation on the Fragmenta Londiniensia at the conference "Palaeography and Post-palaeography: Manuscripts from the First to the Twenty-First Century", Institute of English Studies, Senate House, London. This also includes discussion of his identification of a Greek fragment associated with the London Fragments as coming from the Testamentum Domini, an early Christian "Church Order" work, which does not otherwise survive in Greek and is known principally in a Syriac translation of the seventh century.

Simon Corcoran publishes in the Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies an article on Murison's engagement with the editions and manuscripts of Theophilus's Greek paraphrasis of Justinian's Institutes.
