He opened his eyes, and was struck...

After a hiatus I am teaching Mimesis again and have resumed work on Mimesis Annotated. Draft annotations for chapter 3, 'The Arrest of Peter Valvomeres' are now up, here. This is an important chapter that is difficult for students to navigate because of the quantity of untranslated Latin. I hope this helps somewhat!
