The Lives of Latin Texts collects papers presented at a 2018 conference in the Department of the Classics at Harvard University in honor of Richard Tarrant on the occasion of his retirement.

The papers collected in The Loeb Classical Library and Its Progeny explore the legacy for which James Loeb is best known, the Loeb Classical Library, and the three series it inspired, and take stock of these series in light of more general themes bearing on translations of "classical" texts and their audiences.

These larger rhythmical structures are the minimal independent utterances in lyric discourse.

The topics offered in East and West range throughout the ancient world from the second century bce to late antiquity, from Hellenistic Greece and Republican Rome to Egypt and Arabia, from the Second Sophistic to Roman imperial discourse, from Sulla's self-presentation in his memoirs to charitable giving among the Manichaeans in Egypt.
