Johannes Haubold, professor of classics, Leigh Anne Lieberman, digital project specialist in the Department of Art and Archaeology, and Princeton University’s Papers of Thomas Jefferson have received grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
Haubold received a grant for the project “Library of Babylonian Literature,” which will enable the preparation of six volumes of 10 texts to be published by Bloomsbury in London. The texts date from roughly 2000 B.C.E. to 500 B.C.E., and offer an expansive view into Babylonia, an ancient world culture centered in what is now Iraq.
Lieberman’s grant is for the project “Teaching Ancient in a Digital Age: Emerging Methods and Literacies in the Ancient Mediterranean Classroom,” a series of virtual and in-person workshops on digital methods and resources available for the study and analysis of ancient texts and materials.
Princeton University’s Papers of Thomas Jefferson, a collaborative publishing hub for Jefferson source material in print and electronic format, was awarded a grant for the continued publication of the presidential papers of Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826). The project is preparing the definitive scholarly edition of Jefferson’s correspondence and papers.
