Over the years, Alaric has created various resources--translations, editions, scans, random handouts and the like--mainly for teaching and sometimes for other things. He thought he might as well put them on the web incase people find them useful. Feel free to use them (and improve them), but if you do, Alaric would appreciate it if you let him know, just to make him feel useful (email alaric@cantab.net). This page represents a growing and eclectic selection of material, often in a slightly incomplete form. Have fun!
