The next portion of Tools of the Trade will focus on a series of “core toolkits” for a variety of languages. These will be linked here as they roll out over the next few days. The first five, in order, will be:

1. Classical Greek,
2. Homeric Greek,
3. Mycenaean Greek,
4. Classical Latin, and
5. Akkadian.

If any more are added, I’ll link them here as well. I’m planning on doing Phoenician and Middle Egyptian at some point, and maybe even posts on families, probably Semitic and Indo-European. After that, there will be two more posts on epigraphic tools, followed by a series of computational ones, and then probably some meta-tools (e.g., guides to digital organization, etc.). After that it’s anyone’s game, and I fully welcome suggestions. Feel free to email me here if there’s anything you’ve been wanting to get into but haven’t found good resources for.
