Similarly, Arabic, Syriac, and Armenian writers who preserve otherwise lost texts receive notice. Renaissance humanists and great classical scholars are of interest not for their own sake, but for their research activities. Medieval Latin, humanistic, or modern Neo-Latin is out of scope. The influence of ancients on moderns is likewise not in scope. We will, however, excerpt articles on theoretical aspects or methodological questions related to the investigation of classical antiquity, but then again we will not take articles dealing with instructional methods.
Some articles are more difficult to judge than others.
We must often ask ourselves whether an article contributes a new perspective on an ancient text or on ancient society, or whether its focus really lies elsewhere. If it tells us about Nietzsche, then we reject it. Judgments must be made. An author can always protest, however, if one feels one's article has been unfairly excluded. Bibliographic citations are checked and re-checked.
