Well, this is big news!!! "We have completely virtually unwrapped and read PHerc. 1667 — the scroll the Vesuvius Challenge community knows as Scroll 4 — without ever touching its pages. It is the first Herculaneum papyrus to be digitally unrolled and read in full, end to end" https://scrollprize.org/firstscroll

André Lavoie has a new article on Lawrence Durrell in Montréal&#39;s Le Devoir, and the ILDS conference in Vancouver this coming summer has a lovely mention! He was also kind enough to reach out to me and to Isabelle Keller-Privat as well as the Montréal playwright Serge Boucher for comments. &quot;Faut-il relire… Lawrence Durrell?&quot; https://www.ledevoir.com/lire/959643/faut-il-relire-lawrence-durrell
