I’ll also say on coins that the American numismatic society has given me use of free images before on a couple occasions

Thanks, sorry for the double post. A link was added for a bizarre and unknown reason

I see it’s a for-profit site (although may be wrong) which can cause some issues for some publishing agreements which request no uploads to commercial services

Can I ask what drew you to researchgate? Considering some options and currently have humscommons (or whatever the rebrand is now)

And when I say unable to find, I can’t access the referenced catalogue. It may well document how it made its way from Cyprus to the Fayum, to presumably Utah

Sorry Heubeck. The entry in the linked collection has an error.

Does it come from Cyprus? Allegedly it was excavated from the Fayum, but the provenance history is somewhat difficult to follow. I’m unable to find the previous ownership documented in the 1983 catalogue. The publication reference by Henbeck expressed doubts about the dating

I’m currently working on something on age, war and violence, so this caught my eye. Perhaps I can send you a draft of the piece which you might have thoughts on if that’s of interest, although judges material is only marginal in what I’m doing

Very true. This map representation does makes the tradition seen out of step at least with the wider context
comment in response to

I think part of the issue is that a “borders” map is a problem for thinking about power networks in the ancient world. It presents a particular vision of control and boundary management which surely didn’t exist, and would constantly be in flux

I believe Josephus also writes about David and Solomon being able to do cast out demons

A very lovely story about sir Terry

Goblins and orcs just being a kind of evil and unredeemable species in LOTR gives Pratchett some spaces to work with ideas about extreme prejudice in his later books. I may be taking a brief break from discworld before starting up a new series (maybe death?) to try and do some more Norwegian reading
comment in response to
post
Snuff is one of the most moving discworld books. There’s a lot going on with how the goblins are thought of and that a large part of their story is kind of passively accepting what is done to them. I’m not sure about this as an idea, but the fantasy element perhaps allows it.

I have arrived at the end of the Sam Vimes series. Thud and Snuff are both excellent, with more ideas being added to dwarf and troll cultures and belief. For whatever reason I’d recalled much more of Thud being outside of AM but it’s nice to see Vimes in fill pomp will all the guards behind him

Kittim although not sure it’s a slur. My fellow Jewish studies scholars can probably come up with a few

Gratulerer!

Check against the publication agreement for the publisher. Usually any author accepted manuscripts before typesetting are fine to upload at any time, and people can read the substance if nothing else.

Humanities commons was the go to a while back. As a non-profit, uploading off-prints is typically within most publication rights (usually after an embargo period). I still put things there

In my field, this means publishers who have a good reputation and presence at conferences. Alternatively, if they offer good access options through OA or because it is a low cost publication, then this might be good. I would usually look to see if they have published things in my area first already
comment in response to

I may have once had an email from them. Checking out their website and the Norwegian refs for how reputable they are, they don’t seem predatory to me at least. Generally I would suggest publishing with places you know and people are likely going to be able to find it.

In his preface, Tolkien talks about the friends who never came back from the war. I think perhaps one survived, and the hobbits’ miracle is very deliberate and poignant

I had a nice personal email from the new MP a few months ago. The previous only ever sent out fairly standardised letters. My feeling is that personalised emails to MPs perhaps carry a little more weight than generated mass emails, but either way, it’s good for them to see what constituents think
comment in response to
post
Second this. Although depending on what the whips’ line is you may or may not get essentially a form response. If you have some links which help your case then these can be helpful to add in. Your MP may have some requirements for contact on their website and how they should be addressed.

If you need some dragons, then the Daniel addition Bel and the Dragon, and if you stray into the NT then Revelation
