Well, it's hello from me

Introductions are in my opinion the hardest thing to write. Don't know how Westcott and Hort managed to be so prolix. So without further ado, hello, I'm James, I live in Wales. I had the privilege of pawing over bits of Euripides and Thucydides way back in my youth, before reading Archaeology at university and developing a temporary fixation with epigraphy. Now avoiding mud and cooped up indoors, my current nerdy distraction from real life is of course the whole manuscripts and textual criticism side of things. Joining because I've been meaning to for a while. Doubtless I've encountered many people from here before in other contexts. Anyway, hello, everyone!

Well hello, and welcome!

Tell us more about what you do with manuscripts and textual criticism?

The distinction between escapism and reality is not a dichotomy. There is such a thing as escaping into reality.

Or was it 'Alice in Wonderland'?
