For several weeks (read: months..) I have been in process of moving from Drammen (close to Oslo) to a place in the southern part of Norway, called Kvinesdal. What a terrible load of planning, packing, transporting, unloading, unpacking, relocate, finding the stuff I need in all the boxes.
Who can keep up with what Philo studies are published in such circumstances? Not me. But here are some stuff I discovered recently via the Brill web site.
