New Editions of Turner, Cavallo and Maehler

A couple years ago, I announced that the the Insitute of Classical Studies in London was preparing a new edition of E.G. Turner's classic Greek Manuscripts of the Ancient World (second edition, with Parsons). This week, I spoke with Richard Simpson, Director of Publications, and he informs me that a new edition of G. Cavallo and H. Maehler's Greek Bookhands of the Early Byzantine Period A.D. 300 – 800 (1987) is also in the works! These are two of the most important manuals on Greek palaeography to date and I am super excited to know that both are coming back in print. Simpson also informs me that there will be online editions of these volumes as well. If you were to buy them used from places such as Amazon, they will run you a couple hundred bucks or more. So, good news all around.
