Hi Monica,
This sounds like a great idea. Do you think you will have enough
material for four papers in this specific area, or would you be open to
suggestions to widen the topic a little bit? On the one hand I think
eAqua having been working on identifying quotations (and even
paraphrases) in Greek texts, which fits with your theme, I think; and
Charlotte Roueché has a project on quotations and fragments in the works
(I'm afraid I'm woolly on the details, but I believe she's on this
list), so maybe that would be the best part of a panel already...
Alternatively, the theme could be widened a little to include handling
of fragments of other kinds (epigraphic, for example), or to include
discussion of digital commentaries (as suggested by Roshan) or apparatus
criticus. Or maybe this is a second panel? Anyone?
Best,
Gabby
