I mourn the passing of Simon Winchester, a remarkable man—and of course a great friend to the #OED—whom I was lucky enough to call a friend. RIP.

Check out my new podcast series, "Pages of History," in which I speak to leading experts on topics in cross-cultural philology!
The first batch of episodes deals with philology as a science, the Cain and Abel narrative, and the ancient language Aramaic.

$50K First Letters Prize awarded to Erwin Nieuwlaar for finding text in PHerc 343! This is the first time in nearly 2000 years that anyone has read text in this rolled scroll. Our papyrologists reckon it’s part of the expression πᾶ̣ν τ̣ὸ γιν̣όμ̣ε̣[νον, “everything that happens/is generated”
