David Ratzan (ISAW/NYU) now delivers "Materiality and intertextuality, or why it matters that we know how much books cost in the Roman world" https://dmratzan.github.io/2026-nyu-lmu-materialities/papers.html#dmr
He promises: a critical consideration of the ways in which the field of classics has and hasn't engaged with the notion of intertextuality without coming to grips with the reality of materiality (and in particular the lack of a "theory of books" interrelated with the field's "theory of literature").
