greek-accentuation has finally hit 1.0.0 with a couple more functions and a module layout change.

The library (which I’ve previously written about here) has been sitting on 0.9.9 for a while and I’ve been using it sucessfully in my inflectional morphology work for 18 months. There were, however, a couple of functions that lived in the inflectional morphology repos that really belonged in greek-accentuation. They have now been moved there.

There is syllabify.debreath which removes smooth breathing and replaces rough breathing with an h. And there is syllabify.rebreath which reverses this.

The other big change made is there are no-longer three top-level modules—everything is enclosed in a greek_accentuation package so instead of from syllabify import * you say from greek_accentuation.syllabify import *.

You can pip install greek-accentuation==1.0.0. The repo is at https://github.com/jtauber/greek-accentuation.

greek-accentuation is made available under an MIT license.

Thanks to Kyle Johnson of the wonderful Classical Language Toolkit project for encouraging me to finally do the 1.0.0 release.

Figura. Studi sull’immagine nella Tradizione Classicaè una rivista internazionale di accesso illimitato in rete, destinata alla divulgazione di ricerche attuali e di testi di riferimento sulla Tradizione Classica. Il suo dominio comprende studi sulla cultura visiva e testuale dell’Antichità, ma anche sulle appropriazioni e sulle trasfigurazioni di questa tradizione operate dal mondo antico e post-antico. Si può intendere per mondo post-antico anche il periodo contemporaneo, in modo che il taglio che fa da quadro di riferimento ai testi proposti dalla rivista non è temporale, ma concettuale, cosa che richiede una precisazione.

Figura. Studi sull’immagine nella Tradizione Classica is a new international journal to be published twice yearly online with unrestricted access, in order to  disseminate current research and writing on the Classical Tradition’s repertoire. The journal will encompass studies of Antiquity’s visual and textual culture, as well as appropriations and transfigurations of this legacy in the ancient and post-ancient world. Post-antiquity may be taken to include the contemporary period, therefore the cut-off used as a frame of reference for content proposed by Figura is conceptual rather than temporal, which calls for a distinction in this respect...

Soraya Estavi, Zahra Asghari, Ali Aarab, Reza Rezaloo, Aliye Amirinejad

Abstract | References PDF (661 K)HTMLXML  Pub. Date: June 9, 2016

Launched in January 2014, Diogenes (ISSN 2054-6696) is a peer-review and open-access journal edited by the postgraduate students at the Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies, University of Birmingham. This collaboration of postgraduate students aims at providing a venue at which postgraduate students can further develop their research ideas and communicate them to a general audience.

The unique combination of research interests at the Centre brings together the often separate fields of Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies. We look forward to any article that actively engages with any of these fields, from universities in the UK and abroad.

It is published twice a year: in April and October.

About SEDRA

The Syriac Electronic Data Research Archive (SEDRA) is a linguistic and literary database of the Syriac language and literature. Its acronym derives from Syriac word ܣܕܪܐsedrā whose meanings include 'array', 'series' as well as 'order' and 'rank', all of which are terms that are associated with database theory.

Project History

SEDRA was established in 1988 by Alaph Beth Computer Systems, a one-person firm founded by George A. Kiraz and based in Los Angeles, that developed, inter alia, Syriac fonts. An early brochure of the company stated that SEDRA "will come on floppy disks in ASCII format."

Kiraz wanted to "crowd source"—analog style—the creation of a linguistic database of the Syriac language. Kiraz sent out letters to his clients who used his Syriac fonts with the word processor Multi-Lingual Scholar and asked them to volunteer to type the lexica of Margoliouth, Payne Smith and Brockelmann with specific ASCII tagging. A new entry began with a caret (^) and English glosses of Margoliouth's dictionary were delimited by a percent sign (%). A letter dated March 22, 1990 reports the status of the project and promises to look into the possibilities of using SEDRA "in Artificial Intelligence applications, especially Natural Language Processing." In addition, Kiraz signed an agreement on March 2, 1988 with the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center for Preservation and Research and obtained a permission to use the Peshitta New Testament Electronic Database, originally developed by The Way International.

SEDRA went through three incarnations. SEDRA I (1989) derived its data from the database provided by the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center which provided the data as a flat file database. The data was converted to db_VISTA, a database management system that provided a programmable interface in the C programming language for writing database applications.

SEDRA II (1990) contained additional tables and fields necessary for the generation of Kiraz's Concordance to the Syriac New Testament (1993). Moreover, the entire text of the New Testament was vocalized and pointed, punctuation and accent marks were added, and the text was normalized to represent the BFBS edition of the Syriac New Testament as the text used by The Way was based on other manuscripts, primarily from the British Library. To accomplish the vocalization and pointing process, a program was written that skipped over words which had been vocalized before. Hence, the word ܒܝܬܐ'house,' which appears 201 times in the corpus, is vocalized only once as ܒ݁ܰܝܬ݁ܳܐ. Initial bgdkpt letters were always marked with a quššāyā point; an algorithm was written to convert the quššāyā into rukkākhā if the preceding word, if any, ended in a vowel and was not followed by a punctuation mark. The dot on the feminine object pronominal suffix ܗ̇ was not included in the pointing, and was added later on by another algorithm based on morphological data.
The next incarnation of the project was SEDRA III (1991). The first change was the move from a relational database model to a network model where ordered, one-to-many parent-child relations simplified the process of concordance generation. In this model, a parent record would have a pointer to the first child record in another table. That child record would have a pointer to the next child, and so on. As laptops at the time had small hard drives of about 10 or 20 MB, SEDRA III converted its fields into bit fields. For instance, two bits were sufficient to indicate person (00 for 1st person, 01 for 2nd, 10 for 3rd). SEDRA III contained 2,050 roots, 3,559 lexemes, 31,079 word forms and 6,337 English meanings (particular to the context of the New Testament). It was published in 1993 on the web site of the University of Cambridge, and later on Beth Mardutho's site hosted by The Catholic University of America's Semitics Department, as a non-commercial open source database. A number of developers downloaded SEDRA III and used it for lexical and concordance applications. One such developer was James W. Bennett who used SEDRA III underlying the BFBS Peshitta in his online Syriac Library Browser and General Syriac Tools.

In February 2013, George Kiraz and James Bennett teamed up to develop SEDRA IV (this web site). Starting from SEDRA III, the database was converted back into a relational database, the binary fields where expanded (now person is a numeric fields with textual references), and additional tables and fields were added. The lexemes table was expanded to include all the words in the Brock-Kiraz dictionary (ca. 15,000 words). Source data from printed lexica were imported either in image or text format. More importantly, a morphological generation component was added to the system with a grant from the International Balzan Prize Foundation under the direction of Peter Brown (Princeton University) and in collaboration with Syriaca.org.

SEDRA IV was launched in March 2015 at the Fourth Hugoye Symposium on Syriac and the Digital Humanities (Beth Mardutho and Rutgers University) and a crowd sourcing call went out asking scholars to tag images of scanned lexical entries to the lexemes of the database. It is expected that SEDRA IV will expand as a crowd sourced project.

As of today (08/01/2016), SEDRA contains 3228 roots, 17905 lexemes, and 44270 words.

Das 'Papyrus Portal' hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, alle in Deutschland befindlichen Papyrussammlungen virtuell unter einem Dach zusammenzuführen, so daß für den Benutzer eine effiziente Suche in den Beständen all dieser Papyrussammlungen und eine einheitliche Präsentation der Treffer möglich ist. Die Trefferliste bietet die wichtigsten Informationen zu einem Objekt und einen Link auf die ausführlicheren Originaldaten der lokalen Datenbanken.
Einige deutsche Papyrussammlungen haben bereits ihre Bestände vollständig digitalisiert und elektronische und im Internet benutzbare Datenbanken angefertigt (Bonn, Bremen, Erlangen, Gießen, Halle, Heidelberg, Jena, Trier und Würzburg). Einige der genannten Sammlungen haben ihre Katalogisierung und Digitalisierung noch nicht abgeschlossen (Leipzig), bzw. erst begonnen (Berlin). Schließlich werden auch die anderen Papyrussammlungen Deutschlands in naher Zukunft damit beginnen, ihre Bestände zu digitalisieren und elektronische Kataloge im Internet zur Verfügung zu stellen. Verweise auf die einzelnen lokalen Präsentationen sind unter dem jeweiligen Ortsnamen innerhalb dieser Anwendung zu finden.
Die Projekte zur Digitalisierung und elektronischen Katalogisierung fanden in den letzten beiden Dekaden statt, was zur Folge hatte, daß sie mit verschiedenen Entwicklungsstufen von Betriebssystemen und geeigneter Software konfrontiert waren. So entwickelten sie auch verschiedene Lösungen, um die jeweilige Papyrussammlung im Internet zu präsentieren. In Heidelberg , Köln , Trier und Bonn wurden auf der Grundlage der Datenbanksoftware FileMaker unterschiedliche Lösungen entwickelt. Berlin und Bremen haben ihre Sammlungen in die jeweiligen dortigen Systeme integriert. Schließlich wurde auf Grundlage von MyCoRe eine weitere Möglichkeit geschaffen, die zunächst im Papyrusprojekt Halle-Jena-Leipzig Verwendung fand und dann auch von anderen Sammlungen ( Erlangen, Marburg, Würzburg sowie Gießen ) übernommen wurde. Aufgrund dieser Vielfalt ist es bisher nicht möglich, alle deutschen Papyrussammlungen gleichzeitig zu durchsuchen, wie man beispielsweise über das Advanced Papyrological Information System (APIS) alle teilnehmenden amerikanischen (und einige andere) Papyrussammlungen gleichzeitig durchsuchen kann. Deswegen wurde die Idee geboren, ein Instrument zu entwickeln, mit dem man auch die deutschen Papyrussammlungen gleichzeitig durchsuchen kann.
Die Projektbeteiligten hatten sich im Vorfeld der Projektkonzeption gegen ein Harvesting der Daten durch eine zentrale Instanz ausgesprochen. Somit werden zum Zeitpunkt einer Anfrage alle beteiligten Datenbanksysteme direkt abgefragt. Dabei arbeiten die Systeme in den Papyrussammlungen völlig autonom. Sie sind auch für den Inhalt ihrer Datenbanken selbst verantwortlich. Eventuelle Unterschiede zwischen den lokalen Datenbanken wurden entweder im Zuge des Projektes vereinheitlicht oder werden während der Suche durch Konkordanzen ausgeglichen. Damit ist nicht nur eine Vereinheitlichung der verschiedenen Lösungen in den Papyrussammlungen erreicht, sondern darüber hinaus auch ein Standard geschaffen worden, wie zukünftig Papyrussammlungen zu katalogisieren sind.
Eine ausführliche Darstellung des Konzeptes des 'Papyrus Portals' finden Sie in der Dokumentation des Projektes . Außerdem wurde eine Mailingliste (collection@rz.uni-leipzig.de) eingerichtet, um Fragen und Informationen zum 'Papyrus Portal' auszutauschen. 


The aim of the PapyrusPortal is to connect all German Papyrus Collections virtually to ensure an efficient search in the inventories of all these collections and present the results in a homogeneous standard view. The hit list offers the most important information for each object and a link to the full original data in the local database.
Some of the German Collections already digitised their inventories completely and are offering the data on their websites: Bonn, Bremen, Erlangen, Gießen, Halle, Heidelberg, Jena, Trier und Würzburg. Others have not finished yet (Leipzig), others only have started (Berlin). Some other collections are planning to digitise their inventories and make them public via internet databases. Links to the local collections can be found under the respective toponym.
The projects of digitising and electronically cataloguing took place in the past two decades. Therefore different operating systems were used and so evolved various solutions of online presentation: the collections in Heidelberg , Cologne , Trier and Bonn were using Filemaker, Berlin and Bremen integrated their systems on-site. The Papyrusprojekt Halle-Jena-Leipzig and other collections such as Erlangen, Marburg, Würzburg and Gießen were using MyCoRe. Because of these various systems it was impossible to browse all German collections, like it was possible with APIS Advanced Papyrological Information System (APIS) for the American papyrus collections (also including some non-American collections). Hence the was an idea to develope a website that is able connect all German collections and browse them simultaneously.
The participants militated against harvesting the data by a central authority. Thus the query of data takes place in all systems immediately. The different systems in the collections are working autonomous and responsible for the contents of their databases. Differences between the local databases have been standardised in this project or equalized with concordances. In this way a standard for future cataloguing in papyrus collection was created.
A detailed description of the concept can be found here: documentation of the project (in German). Furthermore a mailinglist was setup to share information and questions concerning the PapyrusPortal.

The Open Journal of Archaeometry is a new, peer-reviewed, Open Access, international scientific journal published by PAGEPress Publications. It is devoted to the publication of research articles, short communications and review papers on every aspect of archaeometry.
Archaeometry – also known as archaeological science – applies scientific techniques to the analysis of archaeological materials. Research topics mainly comprise the following disciplines and analyzing techniques:

• chemical and physical analyses of artifacts, concerning provenance, technology types of use and authenticity;
• dating methods providing archaeologists with numerical and relative chronologies;
• environmental approaches providing information on past changes in landscape, climate, flora, and fauna;
• anthropological studies dealing with diet, nutrition, health and pathology;
• mathematical methods for data treatment with the purpose of handling, analyzing, and modeling large data sources;
• remote-sensing and geophysical-survey applications assisting underground and underwater archaeology;
• conservation sciences involving the study of decay processes and the development of appropriate methods of conservation and restoration.

The Open Journal of Archaeometry may also host contextually relevant announcements, book reviews and abstracts from scientific meetings. Every article published in the Journal will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field and decided upon by members of the Editorial Board.

An Open Access journal for the history of all forms of scientific thought and action, ancient and modern, in all regions of South Asia.   See further, Focus and Scope. 

We take “South Asia” as an inclusive, non-political, socio-geographic term referring to the area from Afghanistan to Sri Lanka, from Pakistan to Bangladesh, and of course India. Research on the influences of South Asian cultures beyond these borders is also welcome, for example Nepalese or Tibetan influences on China, Sri Lankan influences on the Maldives, or Indian influences in South-East Asia.

We take “science” to be broadly conceived, and to include all forms of rigorous intellectual activity that adopt at least to some extent a quantitative and empirical approach, as in the German “Die Wissenschaft,” that covers most forms of academic scholarship. Theoretical discussions of the meaning of “science” in the South Asian context are welcome. They should presuppose some familiarity with topics such as those raised in sources like Grant, A History of Natural Philosophy (2007), Latour, Laboratory Life (1979), Staal, Concepts of Science in Europe and Asia</i> (1993, PDF), Shapin, “Science and the Modern World” (2007, PDF), Netz, The Shaping of Deduction (2003, PDF of review by Latour), Pollock, “The Languages of Science in Early-Modern India” (in Forms of Knowledge in Early Modern Asia, 2011), and similar reflective works that explore Global History, the interpretation of Modernities, and the general meaning of science in the pre-modern world.

HSSA welcomes submissions for peer-review.

Currently it covers the years 2008-2012, and includes c. 200 publications. Scholars are warmly invited to email me with news of their recent relevant publications for inclusion in this list. Similarly, anyone with comments, criticisms, additions or corrections, along with anyone who thinks copyright is being infringed by a link should email me at mark3handley 'at' hotmail 'dot' co 'dot' uk (my email is shown this way to try and avoid generating spam).

A new feature has been added to the site - "Notes on Late Antique and Early Medieval Inscriptions". This will be a page for me to informally-publish short articles. The first such note is now available.

For a full bibliography of my own publications to date (including Dying on Foreign Shores. Travel and Mobility in the Late-Antique West, Journal of Roman Archaeology Supplementary Series Vol. 86 (Portsmouth RI, 2011)), with available links, click on the 'My publications' tab.

Le iscrizioni parlano un linguaggio assai diverso dalle altre fonti, più saltuario e conciso delle cronache, più vivo e vario dei documenti, e gran parte della nostra storia e cultura di quell’età è chiusa nella forma delle loro lettere, nelle particolarità della loro lingua, negli atteggiamenti del loro stile e nelle allusioni del loro contenuto (Augusto Beccaria, 1909)

VATESis an occasional publication that aims to bring contemporary Latin poetry to the attention of an English-speaking audience. The purpose of the journal is to promote both the reading and the writing of new Latin verse in an attempt to reverse the decline of Latin poetry composition in the English-speaking world.

Published electronically in pdf format, the journal is sent free of charge to any individual or organisation who wishes to see it. They in turn are encouraged to circulate it – either electronically or by printing copies – to an even wider audience. The hope is that the very existence of such a forum for the dissemination of Latin verse will encourage readers to contribute.

The journal is not 'academic' in tone: it is intended for anyone with an interest in the subject. In order to make the publication as accessible as possible, featured Latin poems are accompanied by English translations and all editorial articles are in English.

The journal also features articles on the history of the genre and hints and tips about writing Latin poetry.
