Since Monday, the #PleiadesGazettteer editorial college has published 9 new and 153 updated place resources, reflecting the work of 7 people. The usual Monday blog post will summarize the full week's worth of such work, but meantime, here's a #SneakPeek at one of the updated place resources, Corsica/Kyrnos (island): https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/472063

This Pleiades record was originally created by importing data from Barrington Atlas Map 48 "Sardinia-Corsica", which was compiled in 1995 by Stephen L. Dyson. Twelve of the records he originated have been updated so far this week alone. Jeffrey Becker updated this one to include the specific name of the island found on the Peutinger Map (INS. CORSICA) and added a reference to C. Hülsen's still-valuable article in RE. In all, 258 Pleiades place resources derive from Dyson's work on BAtlas. Prof. Dyson passed away on May 31, 2026, at the age of 88.

@Sofie schade. Ich beschäftige mich selbst erst seit ein paar Wochen mit dem Thema und bin noch sehr zurückhaltend mit dem Label. Einfach weil die Welt an Zielen, Strategien, Theorie und Praxis so umfangreich ist, dass ich gegenüber den historischen Kämpfen und Gedanken aber auch dem unfassbaren Leid, dem Anarchist:innen weltweit ausgesetzt waren ganz demütig bin.
