The network, headed by <strong>Gavin Kelly <\/strong>(Edinburgh) and <strong>Joop van Waarden<\/strong> (Amsterdam), is preparing a comprehensive commentary on the works of the 5th-century Gallo-Roman author <strong>Sidonius Apollinaris<\/strong>. A major eye witness to the end of the western Roman empire, Sidonius has long provided a rich resource for historians of Late Antiquity. Only now, however, is he being reappraised as a significant cultural figure in his own right. The commentary will illuminate Sidonius\u2019 poems and letters from a wide variety of literary, linguistic, historical, and religious perspectives. The blog is designed to complement the commentary: it will feature mini-essays and other short pieces with a particular focus on how readers have encountered and responded to Sidonius&#8217; works from antiquity to the present day.
