Ahir va morir J. D. Hawkins, un gegant dels estudis anatòlics. Editor del corpus d'insripcions lúviques jeroglífiques, un monument impressionant des del punt de vista epigràfic, lingüístic, històric i arqueològic. És una grandíssima pèrdua per als nostres estudis.

What an amazing day! Thanks to Katharine Shields for concocting the workshop and to Institute of Classical Studies (ICS) for supporting it. It was refreshing to meet like-minded colleagues to discuss strategies to promote the teaching of languages such as Middle Egyptian at UK HE institutions
