Supported by a grant from Vanderbilt&#8217;s\u00a0Office of\u00a0the Vice Provost\u00a0for Research and Innovation, Prof. James Zainaldin organized the colloquium, building on the success of a similar workshop that he organized in the department in fall 2024. Prof. Zainaldin says, \u201cMy inspiration for the workshop is a book I\u2019m writing\u00a0with Jon Master\u00a0on Seneca\u2019s <em>Consolation to Marcia<\/em>\u00a0for Cambridge University Press. We found\u00a0last year\u2019s workshop so helpful that we decided to do it again!&#8221; This year\u2019s colloquium allowed scholars to exchange forthcoming work, discuss principles and best practices in text-editing and commentary-writing, and above all to engage in close, joint study of a range of Latin texts from antiquity to the Renaissance. Thanks to Emory University (Prof. Jonathan Master), University of Oklahoma (Prof. Ben Watson), and the Thesaurus linguae Latinae (Dr. Adam Trettel) for valuable co-sponsorship of this event. We look forward to next year\u2019s iteration!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/as.vanderbilt.edu\/classical-mediterranean-studies\/2025\/10\/13\/classical-and-mediterranean-studies-hosts-international-colloquium-on-latin-philology\/zaindaldin-spotlight\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-929\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-929\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2025\/10\/13170131\/Zaindaldin-spotlight-300x259.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"843\" height=\"727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2025\/10\/13170131\/Zaindaldin-spotlight-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2025\/10\/13170131\/Zaindaldin-spotlight-1024x883.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2025\/10\/13170131\/Zaindaldin-spotlight-768x662.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2025\/10\/13170131\/Zaindaldin-spotlight-1536x1325.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2025\/10\/13170131\/Zaindaldin-spotlight-2048x1766.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vanderbilt Department of Classical and Mediterranean Studies hosted an\u00a0international colloquium on September 29 and\u00a030, with scholars visiting from\u00a0the U.S. and Europe to share work on Latin philology, textual criticism, and commentary-writing.
