Many archives, services, e-publications, with particular interest on classics, religious studies, and medieval studies.

Meanwhile, for a little light reading, click here for a late antique Latin poem of uncertain origins but pleasing content that I ran across lately. If you are not easily moved to tears by the plight of the weak, click here for the last will and testament of a late Roman pig who has run afoul of the cook. If in the midst of such readings, a concern for the elegance of your Latin style should come upon you, feel free to consult the grammarian Donatus on "barbarism" for guidance.
