Sevaniae in republica Tennesseensi
Magister Scholiae Sancti Timothei et Georgii Hale
There's not much to say about myself right just now. I graduated as a Latin major in the long-suffering Department of Classics here at Sewanee in May of 1996. I began this project when, in January of that year, I was supposed to read Erasmus' Antibarbarii for a class, and I found that there was only one copy of this text in the library, and, the night before the class, there were four of us waiting to read. Since I had little confidence that the copy would devolve to me in sufficent time, I went back to my room and confidently turned to the web. I fully expected to be downloading a text in a matter of minutes. Three hours later, I confronted the bleak probability that, not only was the Antibarbarii not on the web, there was no Erasmus whatsoever on the web, save a short passage from the Colloquia in Latin on the wonderful web page of James J. O'Donnell. This being intolerable, I set about to remedy the situation, and two weeks later, with the kind assistance of Gerald Smith, professor of religion and computer factotum, and Andrew Gallian, I started scanning texts/ and putting them on the web. This project was somewhat interrupted when I was called away to teach Latin and Greek at St. Timothy's/Hale School in Raleigh, North Carolina, where I now am. I have gladly received advice, comment, and constructive criticism from Chris Willett (aka Tiny), Jordana Tonn (aka Jorje Geko), and Rayid Ghani, and I am glad for any advice, comment, etc. that you, kind reader, might wish to send me.
If you wish, you may
Have a look at the "Birth of the Virgin," the woodcut from which I took the angel above, or you may look at some other woodcuts and engravings of Albrect Durer's.
