• W4242127462 abstract "ReviewEssay: OnFirstLookinginto the Digital Loeb Classical Library1 he Loeb Classical Libraryhasbeen amainstayofanglophoneClassicsfor many years. The earliest volumes in the series, which, in its own nowquaint words, “gives access to all that is important in Greek and Latin literature,” date back a little over a century. In its new incarnation the whole collection can appear on your computer screen, though at a price that will regrettably restrict access. Should you join thisclub,or urge your institution to do so, in an era of rising institutional subscription costs in all fields? In this review, I will offer myfirst impressionsand some suggestions for improvement.2 The homepage of loebclassics.com has the look of a glossy catalog for the printvolumes.Asaresult,however,the pathsbywhich users need toenter the site do not stand out as clearly as they might. These paths are “Browse” on the left, below the masthead, and a “Search” box to the right of the masthead, but equal prominence is given to such items as“About the Library”. The Browse Menu Onecanfirstofallbrowse“Authors”,astrictlyalphabeticallist.Onceanauthorhas been selected, a list of works will appear that can be limited by Form (prose/poetry) or by Genre / Subject, which can make sense for a prolific author like Plutarch,whereonecanselectgenresfrom‘Analytics’(e.g.Against theStoicson Common Conceptions) to ‘Zoology’ (e.g. Beasts are Rational). One can also choose 1 I would like to thank students and colleagues at Chicago and beyond for sharing their views, and in particular Andrew Horne, Larry McEnerney, Catherine Mardikes, and Peter White for their commentson an earlier version of this review. 2 This review will steer clear of the economic aspects beyond mentioning that individuals can subscribe for $65 per year, after an initial fee of $195. By way of full disclosure, I should add that in 2007, I receivedfundingfrom theLoeb foundation(lclf.harvard.edu), which supportsa broadrange ofresearchprojectsintheClassicsfromtheincomeoftheLoebClassicalLibrary.Ontheotherhand, I am a grateful beneficiary of open-access policies of many digital projects, including most notably the Perseus Project. More recently, various dictionary projects have also made their data available, such as the Dicionario Griego-Español and the Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources. Forthephilologicallyinclined,mystudentsandIhavedevelopedperseus.uchicago.eduandLogeion, a collectionof lexicographical resources. T BOOK REVIEWS 494 to browse “Greek works” and “Latin works” through another alphabetical list of authors or by period,3 form, and genre. These criteria are easier to apply in this collection than in many other collections, if they can be used as a searching criterion at all. To take another paid resource as an example, tragedies and satyr plays are designated as such in TLG, but I do not see how one can use that information to limit one’s search in the current (January 2015) interface. One is restricted to searchingwork bywork or author byauthor. How do these options compare to standing in front of a well-ordered bookcase at home or in the library? Muscle memory will probably get you to Aeschylusor LetterstoAtticusonyourshelffaster,butIfindmyselfin more trouble when it comes to authors who do not have their own full volumes; the logic of wheretheMinorAtticOratorsorGreekMathematicalWorksgoontheshelftendsto escape me. This is no problem in the digital realm--Dinarchus and Euclid are as easytofindinthelistingsasareAeschylusandCicero.Topreservequickaccessto one’s own canon-of-the-canon (the Aeschylus volumes, say), it is furthermore possible to designate certain bookmarks(not volumes, as far as I can make out) as “MyLoebs”,which are then gathered in a separate menu.4 Reading Having found the volume that we were looking for, we quickly find ourselves on the first two facing pages of the main text by clicking on the title of the work. The Digital Loeb comes into its own here, and yet it is also likely to be the source of some confusion. The good part first: the presentation is spare and elegant.
