Publication Cover
The Revue d’histoire des textes is published by the IRHT. It covers a vast chronological and geographic realm; it focuses on texts composed before 1500 from the Latin, Greek, Romance and oriental linguistic domains. It publishes preliminary material for critical editions as well as studies on the whole of a given textual tradition, illustrated as necessary by the edition of short texts and of previousy unpublished fragments. An index of all the manuscripts cited makes each volume a valuable tool for authors of catalogues, as well as for cultural historians and, in general, for all those interested in the transmission of intellectual heritage. 

La Revue d’histoire des textes est publiée par l'IRHT. Elle couvre un très vaste domaine, chronologique et géographique; elle s'intéresse aux textes des domaines linguistiques grec, latin, roman et orientaux, composés avant l’an 1500. Elle publie des matériaux préliminaires à des éditions critiques et des études portant sur l'ensemble d’une tradition textuelle, illustrées au besoin par l'édition de textes courts et de fragments inédits. Un index des manuscrits cités fait de chaque volume un instrument de travail précieux pour les auteurs de catalogues, aussi bien que pour les historiens de la culture et, en général, pour tous ceux qu'intéresse la transmission du patrimoine intellectuel.

      Digital Corpus of Literary Papyri (DCLP) News
      We are pleased to announce the first release of the Digital Corpus of Literary Papyri (DCLP), a comprehensive, searchable and browsable digital collection of literary and subliterary texts surviving on papyrus and other portable materials from Egypt and other areas of the ancient Mediterranean. The project was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft within their Bilateral Digital Humanities Programm and directed by Roger Bagnall and myself. In addition to the core team, represented by James Cowey, Tom Elliott, Holger Essler, Carmen Lanz, and Marcel Keller, we received crucial support from Willy Clarysse and Mark Depauw in Leuven, who furnished the nearly 15,000 Leuven Database of Ancient Books files that serve as the descriptive backbone of each record. Further assistance was given by the Anagnosis project in Würzburg, Nicola Reggiani and the Corpus of Greek Medical Papyri project at the University of Parma, Gianluca Del Mastro and the the Centro Internazionale per lo Studio dei Papiri Ercolanesi in Naples, Daniel Riaño (Madrid), Julia Lougovaya (Heidelberg), Valeria Piano (Florence), Dot Porter, and Winona Salewsky. Josh Sosin, Hugh Cayless and Ryan Baumann at Duke University's Collaboratory for Classics Computing deserve special thanks for their help transferring the papyri.info code stack to Heidelberg and their work reintegrating DCLP into the papyri.info environment. Once we have completed integration testing, papyri.info will serve as the DCLP home.
      DCLP has produced both software and digital content of value to scholars who work with ancient literature and book culture (e.g., classical philologists, theologians, and ancient historians). Nearly 15,000 fragments of ancient literary works have been documented in the form of open, digital "metadata" records available online on the DCLP demonstration website LitPap.info, and nearly 1,000 searchable texts have been encoded and incorporated into these records to date.
      Examples can be found here:
      School tablet with Pythagoras sententia and conjugation paradigm
      The website itself constitutes another important output of the project: a version of the software that powers Papyri.info, customized for the specific needs of literary papyri. In addition to the LitPap.info, all DCLP code and data are openly available from https://github.com/DCLP.
      DCLP texts can be searched together with DDbDP documents, which is in fact the default search setting, or alone as a single corpus. To limit a search only to DCLP, select “All DCLP records” in the drop-down menu under “Collection,” or click here. The interface itself will be familiar to anyone who has used papyri.info and offers several browsing options, including by Author/Work, Series, and TM Number. TM browse is only a temporary service; in the future, users will be able to search by specific TM numbers.
      As with papyri.info, DCLP is community supported. We welcome submissions by colleagues and students around the world in the form of updated metadata, Greek or Latin texts, emendation proposals, new or re-editions of texts. In particular, we are interested in increasing the number of transcriptions of previously published papyri.
      If you have questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me.

      Digital Papyrology I. Methods, Tools and Trends

      Author:
      ISBN: 9783110547474 9783110547603Year: Pages: viii, 318Language: English
      Publisher: De Gruyter

      Abstract Since the very beginnings of the digital humanities, Papyrology has been in the vanguard of the application of information technologies to its own scientific purposes, for both theoretical and practical reasons (the strong awareness towards the problems of human memory and the material ways of preserving it; the need to work with a multifarious and overwhelming amount of different data). After more than thirty years of development, we have now at our disposal the most advanced tools to make papyrological studies more and more effective, and even to create a new conception of "papyrology" and a new model of "edition" of the ancient documents. At this turining point, it is important to build an epistemological framework including all the different expressions of Digital Papyrology, to trace a historical sketch setting the background of the contemporary tools, and to provide a clear overview of the current theoretical and technological trends, so that all the possibilities currently available can be exploited following uniform pathways. The volume represents an innovative attempt to deal with such topics, usually relegated into very quick and general treatments within journal articles or papyrological handbooks.

      La collezione dei Papiri dell'Università di Genova (PUG)
      La collezione dei Papiri dell’Università di Genova (PUG) è costituita da quasi quattrocento frammenti di provenienza egiziana, per lo più in lingua greca e di contenuto documentario.

      Il nucleo originario della collezione è quello oggi conservato al Dipartimento di Antichità Filosofia, Storia (D.A.FI.ST.). Esso è composto da oltre duecento frammenti, acquistati da Augusto Traversa sul mercato antiquario negli anni Cinquanta del secolo scorso. Include testi assai vari per datazione e contenuto e anche un piccolo gruppo di frammenti in copto.

      Un secondo gruppo di papiri è conservato presso il Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza (D.D.G.). Esso venne costituito negli anni Settanta e Ottanta attraverso nuove acquisizioni operate a più riprese da Mario Amelotti. Comprende papiri in lingua greca, prevalentemente di età tolemaica.
      Il catalogo digitale
      Il catalogo dei papiri, qui consultabile attraverso la pagina "Papiri" dal menù in alto, comprende al momento tutti i frammenti editi conservati al D.A.FI.ST. e una parte dei frammenti editi conservati al D.D.G. (quelli pubblicati nel volume IV e successivamente).
      Per ciascun papiro edito – nei volumi della serie PUG o in altre sedi – si può visualizzare una scheda corredata di immagini digitali, con informazioni su dimensioni, contenuto, edizioni e riferimenti bibliografici. Sono inoltre presenti link a Trismegistos (TM) e a Papyri.info (PN).
      Le ricerche nel catalogo possono essere effettuate in modalità veloce, per numero di pubblicazione nella serie PUG o per macro gruppi (Dove, Cosa, Quando), oppure in modalità di ricerca "avanzata" (menù a sinistra, ultima voce), su più elementi della scheda (ad esempio contenuto, datazione, luogo di conservazione) e con la possibilità di combinare più criteri.

      Chronique des activités archéologiques de l’École française de Rome
      ISSN électronique: 2282-5703
      La Chronique des activités archéologiques de l’École française de Rome apparaît en 1984, dans le volume 96-1 des Mélanges de l’École française de Rome-Antiquité (MEFRA). On y trouve une présentation des activités de l’année précédente, qu’il s’agisse des résultats préliminaires des campagnes de fouilles conduites par l’École française de Rome ou par des équipes françaises en Italie, en Afrique du Nord et dans les Balkans, des colloques et des séminaires, ainsi qu’une présentation des publications.
      À partir de 1986, on trouve également une Chronique des activitésarchéologiques pour le Moyen Âge dans les Mélanges de l’École française de Rome-Moyen Âge Temps Modernes (volume 98-2). Progressivement, ces deux livraisons annuelles de la Chronique sont limitées au compte-rendu des opérations archéologiques (fouilles, prospections, étude de matériel, préparation de publication).
      Depuis 2012, la Chronique des activités archéologiques de l’École française de Rome sort des MEFRA et des MEFRM pour devenir une nouvelle revue électronique, dans laquelle les responsables d’opérations auxquelles l’École est associée ou conduites par des équipes françaises en Italie, en Afrique du Nord et dans les Balkans, présentent les résultats préliminaires de leurs recherches archéologiques, de la Préhistoire à la fin du Moyen Âge.

      Colors of Classical Art
      The classical tradition as embodied by the arts of ancient Greece and Rome is typically characterized by its idealized forms, naturalism, and interest in the human figure. In the eyes of most viewers today, color plays a limited role in this aesthetic—pristine white marble characterizes temples and statues, and a palette of black and red defines Greek pottery. This perception, however, is inaccurate, and there is increasing evidence that the cities and houses of the Greeks and Romans were once full of color: statues and marble buildings were richly painted, the surfaces of bronze statues and objects were manipulated to vary and modify their colors, and even the black and red pottery traditions were more varied than they first appear. In addition, colorful objects that were made from perishable materials, such as textiles and paintings, survive in very limited quantities.
      The use of color influenced the development of both pattern and naturalism in art; it reflected interest in artistic exchange, luxury and status, as well as cultural and religious traditions. A renewed study of the colors of classical art across a wide range of media helps us to understand better the complexities and wonders of the classical world. 
      This website, which is part of a larger project that also includes a special exhibition and a self-guided tour of the permanent gallery, represents an in-depth collaboration between the Indiana University Art Museum and the Department of the History of Art; it was designed in conjunction with two classes and incorporates the research of both graduate and undergraduate students.

      Geographic data now available via Pelagios
      Coptic SCRIPTORIUM has partnered with Pelagios Commons to make geographic data drawn from published Coptic SCRIPTORIUM texts available via Pelagios’ Peripleo search engine and API. Each entry links a geographic location, identified by its Pleiades resource number, to a query for that term in ANNIS, our search and visualization interface. Therefore, each geographic entity in our data appears only once in the Pelagios data set, regardless of how many times the entity appears in our published texts. Queries cover corpora published as of April 2017 (release 2.3.1), including more recently published documents in those corpora, but do not include corpora new to our most recent release. The list of geographic entities included in this dataset dates to April 2017, and does not include locations unique to more recent publications.

      Varia Anatolica
      http://www.persee.fr/renderCollectionCover/anatv.png
      L'Institut Français d'Études Anatoliennes, fondé en 1930 sous le nom d'Institut Français d'Archéologie de Stamboul, se dota en 1933 d'une collection destinée à publier les travaux en archéologie de ses membres appelée Mémoires de l'Institut Français d'Archéologie de Stamboul. Doublée en 1935 par les Études orientales, qui accueillaient des travaux issus d'autres disciplines, ces deux collections fusionnèrent en 1959. La Bibliothèque Archéologique et Historique de l'Institut Français d'Archéologie de Stamboul perdura jusqu'en 1976, année où elle fut rebaptisée Bibliothèque de l'Institut Français d'Études Anatoliennes, s'adaptant ainsi à la nouvelle dénomination. Dans le courant des années 80, la diversité des recherches menées à l'IFEA liée au développement du département d'études contemporaines décide le directeur à (re)créer des collections à orientation disciplinaire. Successivement, Varia Turcica (1985) pour les études turques, Varia Anatolica et la revue Anatolia Antiqua (1988), pour l'archéologie anatolienne voient le jour et sont suivies en 1991 par la création d'Anatolia Moderna, revue annuelle d'histoire qui connut 10 numéros.

      Varia Anatolica publie monographies, catalogues, ouvrages collectifs ou actes de colloques en archéologie anatolienne, de la Préhistoire à l'époque seldjoukide. Sa version en ligne est diffusée en accès intégral sur le portail Persée avec un embargo de 2 ans et sa version imprimée est diffusée par la librairie De Boccard à Paris.

        Wisconsin Palmyrene Aramaic Inscription Project
        The Roman-controlled city of Palmyra (1st c. BCE–3rd c. CE), once a major economic hub in the Levant, is the source of thousands of inscriptions in a dialect of Aramaic, as well as many in Latin and Greek (Yon 2012). The entire corpus of Palmyrene Aramaic inscriptions known before 1996 has been collected in the comprehensive volume, Palmyrene Aramaic Texts (Hillers & Cussini 1996); those inscriptions discovered since 1996 have been recently published as well (Yon 2013; see also Yon 2012 for the Greek and Latin inscriptions from Palmyra). These studies have contributed greatly to the study of Palmyrene Aramaic, but none of them have directly addressed the development of the locally indigenous script (paleography), nor do the studies of Hillers & Cussini 1996 and Yon 2013 provide photographs or drawings of the inscriptions (in contrast, see Yon 2012 for photos of the Greek and Latin texts), nor do they provide translations. Previous studies of the script (paleography) have usually been limited to short, now outdated articles whose authors worked without the benefit of high-quality photographs and comprehensive textual editions (e.g., Naveh 1970; Klugkist 1983).
        The immediate goal of the Wisconsin Palmyrene Aramaic Inscription Project (WPAIP) is to re-collate the corpus of Palmyrene Aramaic inscriptions as we are able, providing detailed photographic records and new editions of each epigraph. In this project, several facets of the inscriptions will be investigated. These facets include the development of and stylistic variation within the Palmyrene Aramaic script; the language represented in the epigraphs; the onomastic features (personal naming conventions) and prosopography (familial relations) exhibited in the epigraphs (e.g., Stark 1970; Piersimoni 1995); and the modes and avenues of the inscriptions’ distribution through the antiquities market since the 19th century. These goals are commensurate with those of the Palmyra Portrait Project of Aarhus University in Denmark (link below), which is currently working to compile a comprehensive catalogue of Palmyrene portraiture. Yet, the compilation of the corpus of epigraphic texts for the purposes of research is important not only for its own sake, but because of its preservation of Syrian cultural heritage in the face of recent Syrian political unrest. This new danger poses a clear and immediate threat not only to the current Syrian population, but to Palmyrene antiquities as well, placing a major portion of Roman-era Syrian culture in jeopardy. The ruins of the ancient city are in danger, with increasing numbers of objects being sold on the black market. In light of the imminent threat to Palmyra and its unique cultural and linguistic heritage, the immediate goals of this project contribute to a much wider goal as well: the participants hope, in some small way, to make a lasting contribution to the preservation of Palmyrene history and culture.
