The Herculaneum Library and the LACUNA Project: New Insights into Philodemus’ On Gods, Book 1
Summary:
After an introduction to the Herculaneum library, charred by the eruption of Mons Vesuvius in 79 AD, this seminar will present ongoing research conducted within the framework of the LACUNA project, which focuses on the theological papyri of Philodemus. Particular attention will be devoted to new readings emerging from work in progress toward a new edition of his work On Gods, Book 1, last edited by Hermann Diels in 1916.
