La Chronique des activités archéologiques de l’École française de Rome présente des compte-rendus d'opérations archéologiques auxquelles l'École française de Rome est associée ou qui sont conduites par des équipes françaises en Italie, en Afrique du Nord et dans les Balkans. Les responsables des opérations y présentent les résultats préliminaires de leurs recherches archéologiques, de la Préhistoire à la fin du Moyen Âge. La Chronique auparavant publiée au sein des Mélanges de l’École française de Rome fait depuis 2012 l'objet d'une publication propre, électronique et à flux continu.

Several new texts have been recently added to the corpus of the Cuneiform Commentaries Project (http://ccp.yale.edu).

Thanks are expressed to the following scholars, who have contributed their editions and feedback: Yoram Cohen, Uri Gabbay, Strahil Panayotov, Matthew Rutz, and Henry Stadhouders. We would like to renew our invitation to Assyriologists around the world to contribute their editions of as yet unedited commentary tablets, for which they will receive full credit.

In addition, the website has been migrated to a new server (Acquia Cloud), which has resulted in a considerable improvement in both performance and speed.

Best wishes,

Enrique Jiménez (Senior Editor of CCP)

⁂

CCP 3.1.u94.b (Astrological): The fragment VAT 9434 has received scant attention since it was published in copy in the early 1940s. (Read more)

CCP 3.2.11 (Enūma Anu Enlil / Sîn ina tāmartīšu 11): This small fragment from Kuyunjik preserves badly damaged remains of the last line of a commentary, together with the beginning of a catchline and a rubric. According to the latter, it would be the 11th [tabl]et of a mukallimtu-commentary on Enūma Anu Enlil. (Read more)

CCP 3.5.34 (Ālu 34): This fragment belongs to the British Museum’s “Babylon Collection” (its accession number is 81-4-28,294). (Read more)

CCP 3.6.3.A (Izbu 7 A): This almost perfectly preserved tablet contains a thirty-four line commentary on the 7th tablet of the teratological series Šumma Izbu. (Read more)

CCP 3.8.1.B (Iqqur īpuš, série génerale B): The tablet MLC 2627 probably stems from the city of Uruk, in Babylonia. It represents the only published commentary on a tablet with a projection (a so-called amulet-shaped tablet) discovered to date. (Read more)

CCP 4.1.3.A (Sagig 3 A): This small fragment from Uruk contains remains of a commentary on the third chapter of the medical series of diagnoses and prognoses, Sagig. (Read more)

CCP 4.1.3.B (Sagig 3 B): The present tablet, previously unidentified, consists of two nearly joinable fragments from the British Museum’s “Sippar Collection,” which in all likelihood stem from Babylon or Borsippa. The colophon dates the tablet to the 8th month of the 46th year of an Antiochus, during a period of co-regency with another Antiochus, “his son.” The only possible date is 266 BCE. (Read more)

CCP 7.2.u44 (Uncertain): This tiny fragment from the British Museum’s “Babylon Collection” preserves meager remains of a lexical list or tabular commentary dealing with field pests. (Read more)

CCP 7.2.u49 (Uncertain): The previously unpublished fragments BM 41481 and BM 41635 belong both to the British Museum’s 81-6-25 consignment of tablets, which is reported to stem mostly from Babylon. (Read more)

CCP 7.2.u51 (Uncertain): This previously unpublished commentary is preserved in two small fragments that have been joined back to back, in a so-called “sandwich join.” Both fragments belong to the 81-6-25 consignment, reported to stem from the city of Babylon. (Read more)

As part of its lemmatization project, the TLG® digitized a number of Greek lexica. Headwords are linked to the TLG® texts so that the user can do a search in the TLG® corpus through the dictionaries. The following lexica are currently available:

The Liddell-Scott-Jones (LSJ) lexicon was released in February 2011.

Cunliffe's Lexicon of the Homeric Dialect was our second project released in September 2012.

Powell's Lexicon to Herodotus.was released in June 2014 as part of the beta release of the TLG new site.

Thanks to an agreement with the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the TLG® has recently developed a digital version of the Lexikon zur Byzantinischen Gräzität (LBG).
This project is ongoing with more lexica soon to be added to this site..

Getty Scholars' Workspace™ is an online environment designed to support collaborative art-historical research. It provides a space and a toolset that enable research teams to examine digital surrogates of works of art and primary source materials, build a bibliography, translate and annotate texts, and exchange ideas. With Scholars' Workspace, research and communication are consolidated into a single online location accessible from anywhere.

Marcus Aurelius surrounded by philosophers (detail), artist unknown, ca. 1660. Study Photographs of Tapestries. The Getty Research Institute, 97.P.7

The outcome of a project conducted in Scholars' Workspace might be an exhibition, a seminar, a digital or print publication, a scholarly talk, or something else entirely. While it is not designed to produce these outcomes itself, Scholars' Workspace helps research teams to organize their materials, such as texts and images, and facilitates analysis, investigation, and communication. The workspace is designed to accommodate the multiple perspectives that are typical of humanities research.

Getty Scholars' Workspace was made possible in part through generous support from the Seaver Institute.

Features

Bibliography builder: collaboratively manage citations online Comparison tool: upload images and create comparisons on a digital light table Essay tool: write, edit, and annotate texts Forum: record and store project-related correspondence in a centralized location Image tool: upload, crop, and annotate images Manuscript presentation tool: upload a manuscript or other archival document and record team transcriptions and translations Timeline: create an illustrated list of relevant dates in chronological order

Before Getting Started

Can I install Getty Scholars' Workspace on my own computer?
If you have the necessary technical skills, you can install a local version of Getty Scholars' Workspace, but it is not recommended as this disables its collaborative features.
Will I need help from a technology specialist?
We strongly recommend that an experienced system administrator install and maintain the instance of Getty Scholars' Workspace for use on a server at your institution.
I am interested in publishing something similar to Pietro Mellini's Inventory in Verse, 1681 (2015). Will Getty Scholars' Workspace allow me to produce a similar publication?
Getty Scholars' Workspace is a research environment only. It has no ability to directly publish to the web or any other platform. It does have the ability to export the data and other assets produced during the course of a research project.
Is Getty Scholars' Workspace used to analyze only items in the Getty Research Institute's Special Collections?
No! Getty Scholars' Workspace can be used with digital content from any archive of any person or institution.
Does the Getty Research Institute offer technical support for general users of Getty Scholars' Workspace?
No. Neither the Getty Research Institute nor any part of the Getty Trust offers direct technical support. Installation instructions and a user guide are downloadable below. The open-source community may generate more significant support.
What are the system requirements for Getty Scholars' Workspace?
Getty Scholars' Workspace is built in version 7.21 of Drupal, an open-source content management system. Visit Drupal.org for the most current details on system/server requirements.
Is Getty Scholars' Workspace open source?
Yes, Getty Scholars' Workspace is distributed under the GNU General Public License, version 3.

Links to online copies of volumes of the Bibliotheca Teubneriana and other Teubner books of interest to classicists in the public domain. Sources: archive.org, Gallica, Hathi Trust, Google Books.

NB: Hathi copies are generally provided by Google. Some archive.org files are taken from Google too; these are marked here as “(G)”. An asterisk (*) indicates that access to the book outside the US seems to be restricted.

I'm adding a volume per day - hence the title. The official site of the Bibliotheca at De Gruyter says that the collection has above 2K titles, so even if only a fraction of them are in the public domain and available online the project could take several years to complete.

The radiocarbon dates of Epipalaeolithic and early Neolithic sites in the Near East are here compiled and analysed in order to compare the sites in chronological context and check if differences between sites are due to chronological differences alone. This compilation does not intend to be complete but only comprises sites analysed within the frame of the SIGN Project (www.vorderasien.uni-freiburg.de/sign_benz). 

The preliminary results provided here are intended as a working platform for all those who are interested in the comparison of cultural and environmental developments during the important transitional phase from foraging to farming. References to all radiocarbon dates are given in the descriptions of the sites: the references in the text are only to discussions and archaeological data. All authors and readers are welcomed to help complete and correct the files. The more researchers who offer us their cooperation, the better a basis for archaeological interpretation this compilation will be. Consequently, it has seemed useful to publish all the compiled files (OxCal) ready for calibration analyses, which will facilitate chronological analyses without the need to retype dates.

Kinyras, in Greco-Roman sources, is the central culture-hero of early Cyprus: legendary king, metallurge, Agamemnon’s (faithless) ally, Aphrodite’s priest, father of Myrrha and Adonis, rival of Apollo, ancestor of the Paphian priest-kings (and much more). Kinyras increased in depth and complexity with the demonstration in 1968 that Kinnaru—the divinized temple-lyre—was venerated at Ugarit, an important Late Bronze Age city just opposite Cyprus on the Syrian coast. John Curtis Franklin seeks to harmonize Kinyras as a mythological symbol of pre-Greek Cyprus with what is known of ritual music and deified instruments in the Bronze Age Near East, using evidence going back to early Mesopotamia. Franklin addresses issues of ethnicity and identity; migration and colonization, especially the Aegean diaspora to Cyprus, Cilicia, and Philistia in the Early Iron Age; cultural interface of Hellenic, Eteocypriot, and Levantine groups on Cyprus; early Greek poetics, epic memory, and myth-making; performance traditions and music archaeology; royal ideology and ritual poetics; and a host of specific philological and historical issues arising from the collation of classical and Near Eastern sources. Kinyras includes a vital background study of divinized balang-harps in Mesopotamia by Wolfgang Heimpel as well as illustrations and artwork by Glynnis Fawkes.

Bibliography

In der Arbeitsstelle befindet sich eine umfangreiche Sammlung von Filmen und Photokopien von Handschriften antiker medizinischer Texte in griechischer, lateinischer und arabischer Sprache; diese Materialien werden den auswärtigen Mitarbeitern des Vorhabens für ihre Editionsarbeiten zur Verfügung gestellt.

Die in den Besitz der Arbeitsstelle übergegangenen Teile von Nachlässen renommierter Gelehrter (K. Deichgräber, H. Gossen, G. Helmreich, J. Ilberg, H. Schöne) enthalten Vorarbeiten für Texteditionen unserer Reihen und das Manuskript zu einem nicht publizierten "Lexikon der Naturwissenschaften für das klassische Altertum" in 11 Mappen.

Die 40 Mappen umfassenden handschriftlichen Materialien, die zur Vorbereitung des Katalogs von H. Diels, Die Handschriften der antiken Ärzte, I. u. II. Teil, 1. Nachtrag, Berlin 1905-1908, dienten, bestehen in Beschreibungen von Handschriften medizinischen Inhalts aus den Beständen zumeist europäischer Bibliotheken.
Die Handbibliothek des Akademienvorhabens, die systematisch erweitert wird, zählt zu ihren Beständen Textausgaben der antiken medizinischen Autoren vom Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts bis in die Gegenwart, die dazugehörige Sekundärliteratur, spezielle Arbeiten zur antiken Medizin sowie allgemeine medizinhistorische Darstellungen und medizinische Nachschlagewerke.

Die in Karteiform angelegte umfassende Bibliographie zur Geschichte der antiken Medizin wird seit 2002 auch in Form einer Datenbank fortgeführt.

The CMG features an extensive collection of films and photocopies of ancient medical manuscripts in Greek, Latin and Arabic; these materials have been made accessible to foreign project collaborators for use in preparing their editions.

That portion of the estate of renowned scholars (K. Deichgräber, H. Gossen, G. Helmreich, J. Ilberg, H. Schöne) which has come into the possession of the project office contains preliminary work for the text editions in our series, as well as a manuscript for an unpublished “Lexicon of Sciences for Classical Antiquity”, in 11 folders.

The 40 folders of extensive handwritten materials that served in the preparation of H. Diels’ catalogue, Die Handschriften der antiken Ärzte, Parts I and II, Supplement 1, Berlin 1905-1908, contain descriptions of medical manuscripts from the collections of predominantly European libraries.

The library of the Academy project, which is being systemically enlarged, numbers among its holdings text editions of ancient medical authors from the beginning of the 16th century to the present, the corresponding secondary literature, special works on ancient medicine, as well as general medical histories and medical reference books.

Originally compiled in index card form, the extensive bibliography for the history of ancient medicine has, since 2002, also been maintained as a database.

Rome’s enduring contribution to world civilization can, and should, be communicated in a way that combines the hard facts, solid reasoning, and new discoveries of university research with the excitement and immediacy of on-location filming in Rome. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million.

Ancient Rome Live (ARL) is an immersive journey that provides new perspectives about the ancient city. A multi-platform learning experience, ARL first and foremost presents original content:

• a clickable map of ancient Rome
• a library of videos arranged according to topic
• live streaming from sites in Rome and her empire.

ARL provides an interactive platform to engage the many layers of Rome: monuments, people, places, and events.  Ancient Rome Live  is a valuable resource for teachers- and a lot of fun for anyone interested in history.

Later in 2015 ARL will release an ebook, app, and free online course.   WIth all of these new, coordinated formats, ARL will change the way ancient Rome is studied.

La epigrafía es el estudio de las inscripciones antiguas. 

La historia de la epigrafía, si bien con algunos conatos en la Edad Media, comienza con los humanistas del Renacimiento, cuyo interés arqueológico les llevó copiar y dibujar inscripciones.
A partir de 1853 comenzó la recopilación de todas las inscripciones latinas en una sola obra, el Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (CIL), que fue encomendada en un principio a Th. Mommsen y que aun hoy está sin terminar.  

Las inscripciones latinas más antiguas que se conocen datan de los primeros tiempos de la historia de Roma, y se pueden fechar en torno al siglo VI a.C. Si pasamos por alto la fíbula de Preneste, cuya autenticidad es hoy muy discutida, el testimonio más antiguo en latín es el llamado lapis niger (imagen y descripción). 

La información epigráfica tiene una grandísima importancia en el estudio de la historia de Roma, ya que proporciona documentos de primera mano sobre aspectos sociales, económicos, jurídicos, religiosos...

En ExtremaduraClásica queremos ofrecer al estudiante de secundaria este sencillo manual para iniciarse en el mundo de la epigrafía.
