Digital Humanities tools

Interactive instruments I have built for research and teaching. Feel free to use them. Most are best viewed on a larger screen.

Footnotes to Plato (and Others), 1827–2022

Footnotes to Plato (and Others) is a tool for scholars in ancient philosophy, classics, theology, reception studies, intellectual history, history of the humanities, and digital humanities. It tracks citations to five ancient authors—Homer, Pindar, Plato, Aristotle, and Paul—across a corpus of 48 academic journals, published between 1827 and 2022.

Late Roman History Writing, 200 BCE – 510 CE

An interactive timeline of the Latin- and Greek-writing historians of Rome: lifespans, dates of composition, the periods each work covers, historiographic form, authors' religious identities, and how completely the texts survive. Filter and toggle to trace the lineage from Greek to Latin historiography across seven centuries.
