About Roger Pearse

• I went to Merton College, Oxford.
• My main current project is the Additional Fathers collection of out-of-copyright English translations of the fathers not otherwise online.
• I'm also interested in manuscripts and the transmission of texts from antiquity.  I'm very interested in ways to get medieval and ancient manuscripts online.
• I collect joke books. And Fred Bassett books. I'd love to be able to cartoon - I have a visual imagination - but I'm never going to have the time.
• I'm a Christian.
• I've been to Egypt six times so far, and am interested in Egyptology and the ancient world.
• My leisure reading includes a lot of science-fantasy novels, and a certain amount of verse. I won't threaten to read my verse at you!  I'm also a compulsive reader of patrologies -- handbooks of early Christian writers.
