Disability Volume!
It does not often happen that we can announce the appearance of a book volume which is dedicated to the study of disabilities in antiquity. Congratulations to our colleagues for this fine volume, which includes papers on Greek, Roman and early Middle Ages, as well as on Buddhism. The bibliography on our website will be expanded shortly!
