They tell me that opting out may limit the impact of the book. All the same, I’m inclined not to sign. Are there others in the same situation who have thoughts/insights on this matter?

Seeking advice from colleagues and friends #classicssky, #ancientsky: the press that has recently published by book is now asking me to sign a AI addendum that would allow them to include the volume in future AI licensing deals. 1/2

Spotted in the wild!
Thanks Carol.

Very pleased to get my hands on @andersdahlsorensen.bsky.social’s important new edition of this text, one of our very few ancient pro-democracy texts, preserved by chance so we don’t know who wrote it, though many love to speculate.
Cover of the Cambridge Classical Texts edition of the Anonymus Iamblichi. It is bright orange and contains this text with a vaguely classical graphic border. I’m holding it in a university lecture room.

Unboxing day! Thanks to all the many people who helped along the way. I hope it’ll generate some interest in these fascinating fragments. Among other things they’re about a people’s own responsibility for preserving its democracy. So not entirely irrelevant for our current moment.
A new edition of the fragments of ‘Anonymus Iamblichi’, fresh off the CUP

@cathomsen.bsky.social in conversation with Marie-Louise Nosch on the occasion of the publication of his ‘Stemmer fra Antikken’. What can we learn about the ancient Greek world by listening to those voices that are rarely allowed to speak in our sources: the women, the poor, and the enslaved?

Is this first og second edition?
andersdahlsorensen.bsky.social
Exactly. And perhaps to be explained by a similar unease about such excretions?

Apologies for the vulgar example, but can we compare “cum” used as a noun in English sexual slang?

As an undeserved break from grading, I made a starter pack. I've no doubt made lots of mistakes, and I hope you'll help me correct them. But I also hope it's helpful to some people who are interested in ancient Greek philosophy.

Update: The Danish government drops its proposal to cut funding for Greek and Latin in gymnasia.

Spent the morning reading some Neopythagorean texts, in memory of Holger Thesleff (1924-2023).
