Text editing is coming along nicely for the summer 2024 Dickinson Latin Workshop on Luisa Sigaea. We'll have a clean Latin text with macrons, vocabulary lists, and some notes. I hope you can join us!

According to Prof. Ribeiro, readings for the Luisa Sigaea summer workshop will include a broad selection, including her letters, parts of the Dialogue, and her classicizing poem Syntra.

John's work is a didactic poem on the secrets of Lexington, the Athens of the West. :D

A multidisciplinary team, including classicists as our own Dr. James Brusuelas, was responsible for this amazing feat!

For the first time in more than 2,000 years, text has been read from part of the still-closed Herculaneum scrolls.

The technical approach that helped recover the writing was developed by @ukyengineering professor Brent Seales and his team. 👏

The Herculaneum scrolls are among the most iconic and inaccessible of the world’s vast collection of damaged manuscripts.

Since being burned and carbonized by the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79CE, they’ve been deemed “unreadable.”

Until now.

Luisa Sigea (1522-1560) is a very unusual example of a female scholar for both Portugal and Spain. Educated by her father, Diego Sigeo, Luisa was particularly famous for knowing Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Chaldean, and Arabic as well as some modern languages.

Our own Dr. James Brusuelas is part of the amazing team working on the Herculaneum papyri. This week, groundbreaking results of that work are being presented here, at the @universityofky !
