The DCC Aeneid is now complete through Books 1 and 2, thanks to the work this summer by an outstanding group of students under the guidance of Dr. Lucy McInerney (Dickinson '15, PhD Brown '24). https://blogs.dickinson.edu/dcc/2024/08/13/aeneid-progress/

Apollonius, Argonautica 4, edited by Peter Hulse (@chesswoodseats) has launched at last. This one has been a long time coming. The notes are rich and chock full of philological acumen, mythographic detail, and literary observation. The introduction is very substantial, there is a set of original cartoons by Rosemary Hulse, audio recordings by Peter Pond and Rosemary Hulse, abundant images, and maps. It's an amazing treasure trove of an edition.

The update of our theme in Drupal just went live. It was a significant amount of work, but should not materially affect the user experience. Please let us know if you notice anything amiss. The update from the no longer supported Zurb Foundation theme to the DXPR theme required a thorough re-making of the CSS and the transfer of all the existing content. Drupal developer Ryan Burke led the process. He had important help from Hayden Alexander ('24), who worked on the project in the course of his Spring 2024 Internship in Digital Publishing with DCC and Project Director Chris Francese.

New at DCC: Navigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis, “The Voyage of Saint Brendan the Abbot,” edited by William Turpin. It’s a medieval Irish adventure involving monks on a boat, otters, a gryphon, volcanic islands, and the Promised Land of the Saints. Enjoy!

New at DCC: Eutropius: Breviarium ab urbe condita, edited by Kristin Masters with help from several Dickinson College students and faculty. Eutropius’ Breviarium is a summary of Roman history from the founding of Rome (traditionally set at 753 BCE) to the reign of the emperor Jovian (364 CE). It was dedicated to the reigning emperor, Valens (r. 364–378). Eutropius aimed to collect “the conspicuous achievements of the Romans, whether in war or in peace … [as well as] those topics which appeared exceptional in the lives of the emperors” Because of its important content and straightforward style, Eutropius’ work became a classroom staple in ancient times, and has remained so. I am most grateful to all the contributors for making possible what I am confident will be a useful resource for all students of Latin!
