The Letters of Libanius

The Letters of Libanius

Beginning as a simple spreadsheet which catalogued the different editions and translations of all of the works of Libanius, this project quickly grew into something much bigger. It now stands as a database that catalogues as much metadata about the letters of Libanius as possible. A second goal was quickly added to this project, which is to represent spatially the distribution of Libanius' letters across the Roman Empire. A third goal was recently added to this database, which is to create a digital prosopography on the people that are involved in Libanius' epistolary network. This project, much like this website, is still in its infancy however, but letters and prosopographical information are added on a somewhat regular basis. This simple website attempts to link together all of the aspects of this big project.
