All the CSEL volumes prior to 2010 now available in PDF online.

This is really going to bring the CSEL series right to the front of everyone's minds. Someone over there is being very clever.

Congratulations! It might be useful to post a list of the letters selected. I had trouble finding one even on the publishers website. This is the best I could find, from the preview's table of contents.

This workshop has not been advertised that much, but for anyone interested in Late Antique Latin historiography and recent groundbreaking developments in our understanding of it this looks extremely interesting. I am really sad I will not be able to attend.

George and Justin's book has challenged the phantom of Kaisergeschichte, arguing for a big history work of Sextus Aurelius Victor, preserved only through abbreviations and fragments. Bleckmann expressed his scepticism of their thesis in a review of their book, dismissing it as just another model.

So pleased this is finally out: "Social Network Analysis", with my favourite writing buddy, the incomparable MΓ‘irΓ­n MacCarron, in Brill's Companion to Roman Prosopography. We hope it will be useful, also for teaching!
The whole volume looks great, congrats to the editors!

Like many others, I deleted my Academia[dot]edu account yesterday. I have given some thought to the cause and implications. Perhaps not the end of my reflection on the matter, but I think we need to have some kind of discussion about these current developments and how they affect our research.
