Travel and Religion in Antiquity volume cover
Posted by Phil Harland. Categories: Travel and Religion[4] Comments
As you may have noticed, there is a “Travel and Religion in Antiquity” subsite here on my site which supported a multi-year seminar at the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies. I have been working on editing some of the contributions from that seminar, and these will come out later in 2010 (probably in the Fall) in a volume titled Travel and Religion in Antiquity (in the series Studies in Christianity and Judaism). Wilfrid Laurier University Press has already designed the cover, which incorporates a photo (pertaining to safety in travel) I recently took in the Capitoline museum in Rome:

Philip, pardon a moment of design geekery — but is that Canada Type’s Jupiter typeface? It’s a very handsome use of the face (whatever it turns out to be).

Hello Akma,
I think you’re right about the typeface. It is a rather cool typeface despite how geeky it is to talk about that.

It’s hard to tell from just the image, but I don’t think I’d have used that swash-R beside the L in your last name — the angle of the L looks as though it jostles the tail of the R — but the other special characters and ligatures look quite lovely.
