Woods, Gillian 2016. In the beginning…the origins of predynastic religion. PhD Thesis, Cardiff University.
This work covers the Western Desert to the Nile Valley during the period ca. 6500-3750 calBC and determines the aetiology and nature of early Predynastic (Badarian- ca. 4350-3750 calBC) belief systems. The migration of peoples from the Western Desert to the Nile Valley as a result of the commencement of aridification in ca. 5300 calBC would have influenced belief systems. Throughout, a flexible theoretical framework is used to interrogate the heterogeneous evidence. The catalyst for the work is Bárta’s retrospective interpretation of the rock-art motifs in Wadi Sura as early representations of ancient Egyptian deities and the beginnings of ancient Egyptian religion. The motifs are also linked to Middle Kingdom concept of the dead by Le Quellec. These two interpretations are examined and are proved to be incorrect. The conclusion is that the motifs are the result of a shamanic rain ritual. Archaeological evidence reveals there was no direct contact between Wadi Sura and the Nile Valley. The rock-art in Dakhleh Oasis and environs was also analysed as was the megalithic site of Nabta Playa. Although different, both appear to have had concerns about rain and fertility. Ceramic evidence reveals contacts between Nabta Playa, Dakhleh Oasis and the early Badarian sites. This suggests that at least part of the aetiology of beliefs was the Western Desert. The interrogation of mortuary evidence at Gebel Ramlah, associated with Nabta Playa and that of the Badarian period reveals a belief in an afterlife, rebirth and regeneration. The role of the living is considered vital for the dead to achieve this transformational status. At all sites the supernatural and symbolism appear to play an important role as does shamanism. It is apparent that the concepts of fertility, an afterlife and rebirth formed the basis of the early Predynastic belief systems. No recognisable deities existed.

    Freimann-Sammlung der Universitätsbibliothek Frankfurt
     Die Judaica-Sammlung der Universitätsbibliothek Frankfurt am MainRussische Zeitungen. entstand Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts durch großzügige Spenden Frankfurter Juden. Ihr langjähriger Leiter, Prof. Dr. Aron Freimann Wikipedia, baute sie bis 1933 zur umfangreichsten und bedeutendsten Spezialsammlung des europäischen Kontinents aus. Die Sammlung mit ihren ca. 15.000 Titeln ist in einem Katalog verzeichnet und umfasst die gesamte historische Literatur zur Wissenschaft des Judentums bis 1932.

    Das Projekt

    Infolge des Dritten Reichs und des Zweiten Weltkriegs ist die Freimann-Sammlung in der Frankfurter Universitätsbibliothek nicht mehr vollständig vorhanden. Ziel des Projekts ist die Erfassung der in alle Welt verstreuten Werke der ehemaligen Sammlung, ihre Digitalisierung und virtuelle Rekonstruktion in der Datenbank. Als "Virtuelle Judaica-Sammlung" steht sie weltweit für jeden Internetbenutzer zur Verfügung und bietet verschiedene Suchmöglichkeiten an.

    Projektpartner

    Das Digitalisierungsprojekt wird durchgeführt in einer Kooperation des Sondersammelgebiets Judentum der Universitätsbibliothek Frankfurt am Main und des Lehr- und Forschungsgebiets Deutsch-jüdische Literaturgeschichte an der RWTH Aachen.Das Projekt wurde von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) gefördert.

    The Freimann Collection comprises the literature of Science of Judaism (Wissenschaft des Judentums) in European languages and is part of the historic Judaica collection. It was created at the end of the 19th century through generous donations of Frankfurt Jewish philanthropists. Professssor Dr. Aron Freimann, Wikipedia long-time curator until 1933, formed it into the most significant Judaica collection of the European continent before World War II. In 1932 a catalog of all titles was published, reprinted in 1968 as bibliography thus compiling the complete historic literature of Wissenschaft des Judentums.

    The project

    Due to National Socialism and the Second World War the collection suffered partial losses and is no longer complete.
    This portal aims to create a complete digital collection of the historic resources by complementing it with digital facsimiles of the missing titles from other libraries all over the world. The database offers various search options, downloading and printing of the texts.

    The project was sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG) in the years of 2007-2010 and carried out in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Hans Otto Horch, former Professor at the Lehr- und Forschungsgebiet Europäisch-Jüdische Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte at the RWTH Aachen University. Various libraries have contributed digital facsimiles to the portal.
    Since 2011 the project continues in cooperation with the Center for Jewish History / Leo Baeck Institute in New York and is sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH).

    Early Puzzles
    Salve amice, ut vales? Puzzles and riddles are as old as history itself. Ancient Greeks and Latins - from Epimenides ("all Cretans are liars") to Eubulides of Miletus ("this statement is false"), from Archimedes ("Ostomachion puzzle") to Celsus ("posthumous twins" problem) - were ingenious inventors of puzzles and paradoxes. They appreciated particularly simple and neat recreational math problems, playwords and riddles and used them for educational purposes. This page is a tribute to the inventiveness of our ancestors. Some ones of the puzzles presented here are from the late Roman and medieval period.

      On this page you'll find a collection of interesting latin rebuses and riddles, pangrams, a vanish puzzle, magic ROTAS squares, Greek and Latin palindromes, chronograms, tongue twisters, famous double-meaning sentences, anagrams, a verbal labyrinth, some jokes, and finally the Archimedes' puzzle (aka 'Stomachion' or 'Ostomachion'). Specta, lege atque delecteris. Vale!

    Cahiers du Centre d’Études Chypriotes
    thumbnail 
    Depuis 1984, les Cahiers du Centre d’Études Chypriotes (abréviation CCEC), propriété de l’association dont ils portent le nom, publient des études sur l’histoire et l’archéologie de Chypre, de l’Antiquité à nos jours, souvent dans le cadre de dossiers thématiques. La parution est annuelle depuis 1997 (semestrielle auparavant). La période la plus représentée est l’Antiquité, de la fin du IIe millénaire av. J.-C. au début de l’époque byzantine ; les études historiographiques tiennent, depuis l’origine, une place importante. La revue publie également des comptes rendus d’ouvrages récents. Les auteurs sont principalement des archéologues, des historiens et des historiens de l’art. La plupart des articles sont rédigés en français ou en anglais, mais les textes en allemand, en grec et en italien sont également acceptés. La revue s’adresse à un public de spécialistes : étudiants avancés, enseignants, chercheurs, conservateurs. Elle est soutenue financièrement par la Fondation A. G. Leventis (Londres).

    AGER
    L'association AGER a été créée au mois de février 1991. Son objectif est de promouvoir la recherche dans le domaine de l'archéologie et de l'histoire rurale de la Gaule romaine, d'en valoriser l'image et de participer à une relance des recherches en la matière.
     
    Dans ce but elle organise un Colloque tous les deux ans et diffuse chaque année un Bulletin de Liaison, de 25 à 35 pages, contenant diverses informations et actualités des recherches.

    DIO: The International Journal of Scientific History
    ISSN: 1099-5757
    DIO is primarily a journal of scientific history & principle. Most articles are authored by astrononomers, physicists, mathematicians, & classicists — not historians. There are no page charges.
    • Since 1991 inception, has gone without fee to leading scholars & libraries.
    • Publisher & journal cited (1996 May 9) in New York Times frontpage story on his discovery of data blowing open the famous 70-year Richard Byrd North Pole controversy. [Featured in DIO 10 [2000], co-published with the University of Cambridge.]
    • See also New York Times Science 2010/9/8, or fuller version(including link to DIO) on NYT website.
    • Journal is published primarily for universities' and scientific institutions' collections; among subscribers (by written request) are libraries at: Oxford University, Cambridge University, Johns Hopkins, Cal Tech, Cornell University, the universities of Chicago, Toronto, London, Munich, Göttingen, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Tartu, Amsterdam, Liège, Ljubljana, Bologna, Canterbury (NZ); the US Naval Observatory, Royal Astronomical Society (London), Royal Observatory (Scotland), British Museum, Russian State Library, International Center for Theoretical Physics (Trieste).
    • Contributors include world authorities in their respective fields, experts at, e.g., Johns Hopkins University, Cambridge University, University of London.
    • New findings on Mayan eclipse math, Columbus' landfall, and Comet Halley apparitions.
    • Journal first to reveal orbital evidence proving the priority of Paris Observatory's U.Leverrier as Neptune's 1846 discoverer, and overturning history's harsh verdict on J. Challis (Cantab) for missing the planet. On Leverrier's instruction, Neptune was found at Berlin Observatory 1846/9/23 within 1° of his computed spot — still, 1 1/2 centuries later, astronomical history's #1 miracle-event.
    • [DIO 2.3, 4.2, 7.1 & DIO 9.1 [1999], the last cited at Scientific American 2004 Dec p.98 for the key finding that undid England's long-previously-accepted priority claim.]
    • Includes occasional satirical supplement, customarily devoted to an ever-bubbling stream of math-science howlers, published by the most dissent-suppressive History-of-astronomy professorial deities.
    • Entire 1993 volume [DIO vol. 3] devoted to the first (and still the only) critical edition of Tycho's legendary 1004-star catalog.
    Scholars familiar with DIOare urged to bring it to the attention of the serials departments of appropriate institutional libraries.

    WOMEN IN JUDAISM: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL is an academic, refereed journal published exclusively on the Internet, and devoted to scholarly debate on gender-related issues in Judaism. The ultimate aim of the journal is to promote the reconceptualization of the study of Judaism, by acknowledging and incorporating the roles played by women, and by encouraging the development of alternative research paradigms. Cross-methodological and interdisciplinary, the journal does not promote a fixed ideology, and welcomes a variety of approaches.

    "I had never considered myself religious. I am the daughter of a secular city, of the generation that witnessed the Holocaust to ask: 'Is God dead?' For me as for other Jewish feminists, religion perpetuated the patriarchal tradition that denied women access to Judaism's most sacred rituals and enshrined them within the strict confines of their biological role. The Judeo-Christian religion kept alive that feminine mystique which was at the heart of the problem.
    It took the confidence born of the women's movement for me and other Jewish feminists to embrace our Jewishness, but in a new way. We took the task of making Judaism accept that women are equal to men in the sight of our God." [Betty Friedan, Life So Far: A Memoir (New York: Simon & Schuster, 2000), 330.]

    "In the month of Nissan, 5479 [1719], a woman was kneeling by the bank of the Moselle, washing her dishes. It was about ten o'clock at night, and of a sudden it became as light as day, and the woman looked in the Heavens, and the Heavens were opened, like unto a ...[word illegible]... and sparks flew therefrom; and then the Heavens closed, as one closes a curtain, and all was dark again. God grant that it be for our good!" (The Memoirs of Gluckel of Hameln, Translated by Marvin Lowenthal, p. 277)

    Interpretatio:Sources and Studies in the History of Science, Series A
    Journal Homepage Image
    This peer-reviewed publication is devoted to the history of premodern science understood as a subject that includes not only what was variously called science from antiquity up to the early modern period in cultures ranging from Spain to India, and from Africa to northern Europe, but also the diverse contexts in which this science figured at a given  time. It aims to make fundamental texts in the history of science accessible to the modern reader both online and in print, primarily (but not exclusively) by means of editions, translations, and interpretations that satisfy the requirements of specialists but still address the needs of non-specialists and general readers.
    Interpretatio comes in two forms. The first, Series A, is comprised of brief  items (each numbered and paginated separately) that are published as they are ready. The second, Series B, is for monographs, collections of essays, and the like.
    Interpretatio is intended for readers interested in the history and interpretation of the various disciplines called science in the West from antiquity until the modern era, as well as in intellectual history and philology.

    Archéo-Nil: Revue de la société pour l'étude des cultures prépharaoniques de la vallée du Nil (Partial content)
    ISSN: 1161-0492
    Fondée en 1990 par Béatrix Midant-Reynes, la revue Archéo-Nil est consacrée à la préhistoire et à la protohistoire de la vallée du Nil. Ses champs d'intérêt concernent une chronologie très large, depuis les premières communautés néolithiques jusqu'à l'émergence des sociétés complexes, dans une aire géographique
    tout aussi étendue, de la Méditerranée jusqu'aux sources du Nil, et dans les régions désertiques périphériques. Elle se situe au carrefour de différentes disciplines telles que la préhistoire, l'égyptologie, l'archéologie, l'anthropologie ou l'ethnologie. Archéo-Nil est une revue destinée aux spécialistes, mais se veut tournée
    à la fois vers les échanges d'idées entre les acteurs des différentes disciplines concernées et un public beaucoup plus large. 

    Archéo-Nil publie chaque année un numéro thématique regroupant des articles de synthèses, des notes d'information, des comptes rendus d'ouvrages scientifiques ou de colloques, ainsi qu'une bibliographie des volumes et articles récemment parus. Les contributions sont rédigées en français et en anglais par des spécialistes internationaux. La revue est disponible dans toutes les bibliothèques et les centres d'études liés au monde de l'égyptologie et de la préhistoire orientale. Le comité de rédaction de la revue est assisté d'un comité de lecture regroupant 20 scientifiques (égyptologues, préhistoriens et archéologues)
    de huit nationalités différentes. 

    Les adhérents de la société Archéo-Nil reçoivent la revue de l'année par courrier postal. Les anciens numéros sont en vente à la librairie Cybèle. Les articles des volumes épuisés peuvent être téléchargés sur ce site.

    A Latin Macronizer

    A Latin Macronizer
    This automatic macronizer lets you quickly mark all the long vowels in a Latin text. The expected accuracy on an average classical text is estimated to be about 98% to 99%. Please review the resulting macrons with a critical eye!

    The macronization is performed using a part-of-speech tagger (RFTagger) trained on the Latin Dependency Treebank, and with macrons provided by a customized version of the Morpheus morphological analyzer. An earlier version of this tool was the subject of my bachelor’s thesis in Language Technology, Automatic annotation of Latin vowel length.

    If you want to run the macronizer locally, or develop it further, you may find the source code on GitHub.

    Treebanking is the activity of annotating texts syntactically. It is part of a relatively new field of research exploring the potential of linguistic annotation for a great variety of purposes, ranging from natural language processing tasks, such as machine translation or summarization, to linguistic research, where computational treatment of data has been significantly impacting method and results in linguistics.

    Continuing the pioneer work at the Perseus Project, where the first texts were treebanked (Ancient Greek and Latin Dependency Treebank 1.0), the Humboldt Chair for Digital Humanities promotes the building of the Ancient Greek and Latin Treebank 2.0 within the project Treebanking: building a linguistic corpus for Ancient Greek and Latin, started on 2015.

    The aim of the project is twofold: (1) produce new treebanked data following a new specification and (2) develop annotation and conversion tools, so that annotation can be as automatic as possible and data can be converted into different formats: this is particularly relevant in that the newly produced data will also be released as part of the project Universal Dependencies.

    Currently, our annotation can be performed online through the Perseids platform: users are freely granted access to Arethusa, a new annotation environment currently allowing three layers of linguistic annotation: the morphological layer, the syntactic layer, and the advanced syntax (or semantic) layer.

    Morpheus PoS tagger allows semi-automatic annotation for morphology. The annotator is provided with some morphological analyses for each word. S/he can choose one of them or add a new one, if the right one is missing.

    The syntactic annotation consists in building syntactic trees according to a dependency grammar model and assigning a grammatical relation label, such as SBJ or OBJ, to each node of a tree on the basis of its relationship with the governor node. The current implemented model builds on the one developed for the Prague Dependency Treebank 2.0.

    Ancient Greek can also be annotated for semantics. The advanced syntax (or semantic) layer allows annotation of the categories identified in Smyth’s grammar (where the term “syntax” is used in a broader sense, to also cover semantic roles).  Starting from the morphosyntactic annotation of a word, the annotator is algorithmically guided to the identification of a relevant semantic role (e.g., genitive > genitive proper > genitive of possession).

    Currently, a selection of Aesop’s fables, passages from the Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus), and the fables of Phaedrus are being annotated. The creation of the corpus is documented on github:
