Welcome!
The Furman/Leipzig Open Philology Fellowship consists of a group of three students from Furman University in Greenville, SC who are dedicated to the preservation of the ancient lanuages through digital technology. The fellows joined the project with the help of Dr. Christopher Blackwell after meeting Professor Monica Berti after her visit to Furman University in March of 2015. While the Open Philology Project has multiple projects within itself, the Fellows are working specifically with Athenaeus' text of the Deipnosiphist and are concerned with the text reuse within the document from the Iliad. More information about the overarching project can be found on Leipzig University's Digital Humanities website. The goal of this fellowship is not only for the fellows to discover, document, and comment on the text reuse, but also to interest their peers in the Classics and Digital Humanities disciplines through their work and collaboration with Leipzig University. To stay updated with the project, please keep visiting this website as well as follow the social media platforms created for documentation.
