Rome Awards: Greek funerary epigrams from Rome in context

where Gerald re-used passages from his previous works, and passages in the ‘Invectives’ which were themselves later re-used, and I studied the changes made to fit these passages to their varying contexts. I developed an account of Gerald’s writing and revision process —revision often done in response to contemporary political changes. I transcribed the manuscript, collated it with the previous printed editions and Gerald’s other works, identified sources and allusions, corrected errors and corrupt passages, translated the text into English, and began assembling a historical commentary and introduction. The library of the BSR itself was most helpful for this last task. This work will be presented at conferences and seminars in summer 2022 and will underpin my new edition of the ‘Book of Invectives’, again in the series Oxford Medieval Texts.
