First classical Greek exam done, thus ending the semester. I'm usually wrecked after a language exam, so no exception there (and not over-committing at all 😬).

Still, time now to relax and/or get my notes in order for second semester Greek. (Yes, I'm a mature-age student, why do you ask?)

My next novel is due for its pre-order on Jan 17, so I'm sitting here editing like the wind. I'm sure I can make it, but why do no two Hittite dictionaries quite agree on any words? #writing #ParanormalWomensFiction #WritersProblems #Hittite #AncientLanguages

The Department of Linguistics of the University of Viena maintains the fantastic project called “Comprehensive Edition of Tocharian Manuscripts” (CEToM), which aims at setting up an integrated corpus of Tocharian (both A & B). Their webpage offers more than 1600 documents with transcriptions, transliterations and translations, etc. It is a commendable and impressive work, which can be accessed through the following link:

The "Cascajal Block" is an #Olmec engraved slab found in the State of #Veracruz , #Mexico in 1999. It has been dated to around 900-650 BC (its dating is still controversial) and may represent the oldest #writingsystem in the #Americas , since it contains 62 #undeciphered glyphs (many if them repeated). It is still kept in the village of "Lomas of Tacamichapan", where it was originally found. 1st photo is mine.

TLDR: How can I retain my Latin? :)

I'm looking for any advice on retaining ancient languages when you have to focus your studies on a different area for a time.

I am taking ancient Greek next year after spending two years studying Latin. But I am keen to retain my current level of Latin - to the extent possible without the daily intensity of the last two years. With Greek to learn, a day job in a different area and family commitments, I know this will be a challenge.

I'd be grateful for any advice on what strategies you have found useful for retaining (even improving?) language fluency, especially in ancient languages.

I have some general thoughts at this stage (LLPSI, periodically translating passages as we did in class, reading parallel texts, etc.).

However I'm interested in any more specific strategies that have worked for the Mastodon history community.

Ok, time for a formal #introduction. Part of the great #twittermigration of '22, trying to get something settled here in the event of a Twitter crash-and-burn.
I wrangle #Bible data for Faithlife/Logos for my day job. I've translated and/or edited: an edition of the #Greek New Testament (SBLGNT), a Bible #translation (LEB), the Apostolic Fathers (Lexham Press), Apocryphal Gospels (Lexham) and am contributing to a forthcoming translation of OT Pseudepigraphal material (Lexham).
I've published transcriptions and translations of early Christian papyri called "Fragments of Christianity" (Appian Way Press); I've contributed to Tony Burke's NT Apocrypha volumes (Eerdmans).
I am also researching and writing the Baylor (Press) Handbook on the Shepherd of Hermas. Besides all that, I have a minimal part-time gig wrangling data for Clear.Bible.
Phew. So, interests include #apocrypha, #pseudepigrapha, #earlychristianity, #ancientlanguages, as well as #csharp and #python. Also #wct adjacent.
