However, this new edition is updated frequently. BNJ will publish online 60 authors every 6 months, and every 2 years there will be a revision of those published to date. So readers may find this an important resource. Jacoby Online will be available from any of the computers in the computer-room - please book at the front desk - and any feedback is appreciated.<br /><br />Full information is available from the home page of the BNJ: <a href="http://www.brillsnewjacoby.com/online.html">http://www.brillsnewjacoby.com/online.html</a>Joint Library of the Hellenic and Roman Societies / Institute of Classical Studies Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04915474010816799666noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078941839262652999.post-486268279635230632007-09-22T13:29:00.005+01:002008-11-13T16:02:05.676+00:00New electronic resource on Pompeii<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgADoj_YtLYAO1FzMm6bkwJWHlNGaSFsmHH8sDNi74v6EzivUhcOACZ23fsO8fMlA745umXnt22sG44-WxRBLCjbRS85lzCrEyZywPzGn_SBNuDwat4FiSYUWwuNz26YAT1c7L9Bamn8w/s1600-h/Brogi,_Giacomo_(1822-1881)_-_Pompei_-_ca._1870[1].jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113018254875015282" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="A photograph of Pompeii by Giacomo Brogi (1822-1881)" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgADoj_YtLYAO1FzMm6bkwJWHlNGaSFsmHH8sDNi74v6EzivUhcOACZ23fsO8fMlA745umXnt22sG44-WxRBLCjbRS85lzCrEyZywPzGn_SBNuDwat4FiSYUWwuNz26YAT1c7L9Bamn8w/s320/Brogi%252C_Giacomo_%25281822-1881%2529_-_Pompei_-_ca._1870%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>A fantastic new resource for those researching Pompeii is now available at the Library.</div><br /><div>'The World of Pompeii' edited by John J.
