A list of books added to the ISAW Library in May 2018 is now available online on the ISAW Library website. The titles are sorted in the website version according to thematic topics (e.g., "China, South Asia, & East Asia" and "Near East & Asia Minor"); and within each topic, the titles are organized according to Library of Congress classification. The authors and titles of works in non-Roman languages are given in their original script. This list is also available in a Zotero library and as a ~~browsable map created using Google Fusion Tables~~. [Update, February 2021: Our new map interface is now live. The map for May 2018 is available here.]

285 items were added to the library's collection in May. Included among these was the donation of a complete run of the Journal of Roman Archaeology from the library of the late Alan Cameron. We are grateful to Prof. Cameron's family for their gift of this important publication. Significant runs of other journals were also added to the collection this month, including the following journals on Armenian and Byzantine history from the library of Nina Garsoïan:

20 volumes of Revue des études arméniennes (Oak Collection PK8001 .R4)
15 volumes of Travaux et mémoires, published by the Centre de recherche d'histoire et civilisation byzantines (Oak Collection DF503 .C45)
12 volumes of the Journal of the Society for Armenian Studies (Oak Collection DS161 .J68)
9 volumes of L'Orient Syrien (Oak Collection BX100 .O69)

Pottery, and classical pottery in particular, was also a focus of May's new acquisitions. We added several volumes of the series Roman and Late Antique Mediterranean Pottery to the collection:

El comercio tardoantiguo (ss. IV-VII) en el noroeste peninsular a través del registro cerámico de la Ría de Vigo, by Adolfo Fernández (Large Collection DP402.V5 F47 2014)

Once upon a time in the East: the chronological and geographical distribution of terra sigillata and red slip ware in the Roman East, by Philip Bes (Large Collection NK4285 .B45 2015)

May's new titles also included a wealth of material on the Yungang Caves, sites near the Black Sea coast, several papyrological publications, and more.

As always, the titles added to the ISAW Library for the entire academic year may be found both on our website and in our Zotero library. You can also follow our progress on Facebookand Twitter.
