Hittite Epigraphic Findings In The Ancient Near East
The present web-site has been developed with the purpose of creating a general geographic map of the epigraphic findings belonging to the Hittite Kingdom (1600 – 1150 BC). The findings listed here concern texts, seals, and inscribed objects written either in Akkadic or Hittite.

Data come from more than 70 archaeological sites spread over a territory extending from the Western Anatolian coast to the Tigris valley and from the Northern Anatolian coast to the Syro-Lebanese border. 


The web-site and its contents have been created and are currently curated by Dr. Dario Fossati. The page was realized as part of the project "Creazione di una mappa interattiva dei ritrovamenti epigrafici nei siti anatolici e siriani sotto controllo ittita" and has been supervised by Professor Franca Pecchioli Daddi of the University of Florence.

It is part of the research project PRIN 2009 "Modelli di costruzione fisica ed ideologica del territorio e identità culturali: città sacre, santuari, complessi funerari in Siria, Anatolia e Transcaucasia nelle Et� del Bronzo e del Ferro", supervised by Professor Stefania Mazzoni.

http://www.raco.cat/public/journals/160/cover_19172.jpg
Tamid ofereix un recull anual de treballs originals dels membres de la Societat Catalana d’Estudis Hebraics dels diferents camps o èpoques en què solen dividir-se els estudis hebraics: l’època biblicotalmúdica, l’edat mitjana (amb la vasta producció cultural dels jueus de la Catalunya medieval) i els temps moderns (incloent-hi l’estudi de la literatura contemporània en llengua hebrea). Els articles que conté aquesta publicació són el fruit d’investigadors que treballen aquests camps d’una manera específica, coneixedors de primera mà de la documentació històrica i filològica pertinent i assabentats dels estudis més recents en la matèria. Però al mateix temps, Tamid inclou, traduïts al català, els treballs d’erudits de fora que, pel coneixement aprofundit que tenen d’algun tema, mereixen ser coneguts entre nosaltres.

 Happy New Year!

AWOL passed the one million page views threshold this autumn(1,133,268 as of today, to be exact), and is now approaching 5500 subscribers by email, three and a half years after I deployed that function.  I'm gratified that such a large number of you find AWOL interesting enough to voluntarily add another piece of email to your busy queues each day.

You may follow AWOL directly via News Feed (user count not easy to discover), via Feedburner (these are the ca. 5500 email subscribers), on Facebook (825 likes),  or on Twitter @ISAWLibrary (572 followers).  You can also follow AWOL on Google+.

AWOL' s Alphabetical list of Open Access Journals in Ancient Studies currently includes 1056 titles. We reached the 1000 title benchmark a little more than a year ago.  I'm  currently editing and revising the list - a slow process

The following graph charts the growth of traffic on AWOL over its lifetime:

Peitho: Exa­mina Anti­qua
ISSN: 2082-7539
http://peitho.amu.edu.pl/wp-content/themes/peitho/images/peitho_logo.png
PEITHO / Exa­mina Anti­qua is an inter­na­tio­nal jour­nal devo­ted to the inve­sti­ga­tion of ancient Greek, Roman and Byzan­tine tho­ught. Foun­ded in May 2010, the jour­nal is edi­ted by the Insti­tute of Phi­lo­so­phy at Adam Mic­kiewcz Uni­ver­sity in Poland.

PEITHO publi­shes rese­arch papers and short notes in the fields of phi­lo­so­phy, lite­ra­ture, history and lan­gu­age. The lan­gu­ages of publi­ca­tion are English, French, Ger­man, Ita­lian, Latin and Polish.

The deci­sion to esta­blish an inter­na­tio­nal scho­larly jour­nal for the study of ancient tho­ught and its recep­tion has been promp­ted by the desire to esta­blish a com­mon gro­und for a fru­it­ful exchange of views between various Hel­le­ni­sts and to sti­mu­late the debate on the ancient roots of our continent.

Evi­den­tly, Greek phi­lo­so­phy is one of the stron­gest foun­da­tions of Euro­pean cul­tu­ral iden­tity. Con­se­qu­en­tly, the jour­nal aims to show this immense intel­lec­tual heri­tage. While PEITHO focu­ses on reve­aling the ancient sour­ces of ideas that are fun­da­men­tal to modern Europe, the credo of the jour­nal is that without under­stan­ding the ori­gins of these ideas it is vir­tu­ally impos­si­ble to under­stand our con­ti­nent in its pre­sent shape.

DAPHNE - Data in Archeology, Prehistory and History on the Net
http://www.daphne.cnrs.fr/daphne/images/DAPHNE.png;jsessionid=6D687F2220561F86D06EF42A56FAD729 
DAPHNE (Data in Archaeology, Prehistory and History on the Net) is a portal providing a single entry point to free subject-oriented bibliographic databases.
Subjects : Prehistory, Protohistory, Archaeology (from early human evidences to the industrial era), Sciences of Antiquity (all aspects : religion, politics, society, philosophy, economics, art, daily life, etc.) and History until the year 1000 on all continents.
Data Types : Bibliographic records covering international literature and resulting from the indexing and analysis of various types of documents (journal articles, books, conference proceedings, exhibits, theses, journals, electronic resources, etc). Records include keywords and abstracts (depending on the analysis specificity).
Special Features : The main idea behind this portal is to provide relevant answers to targeted queries through the use of precise and up to date indexing languages.
Thus, DAPHNE pools together data from three databases : BAHR, FRANCIS (Prehistory and Protohistory, Art and Archaeology files and part of the History and Science of Religion), FRANTIQ-CCI.
This pooling of resources takes two forms :
  • Terminological convergence (indexing term matching) and
  • Data convergence according to the MODS international format for DAPHNE
However, the three databases continue to exist on their own and can be searched separately.
DAPHNE guaranties that the data are available at no charge. Therefore, non CNRS users can have free access to part of the FRANCIS database.

An Analytic Bibliography of Online Neo-Latin Texts
By Dana F. Sutton
The enormous profusion of literary texts posted on the World Wide Web will no doubt strike future historians as remarkable and important. But this profusion brings with it an urgent need for many specialized on-line bibliographies. The present one is an analytic bibliography of Latin texts written during the Renaissance and later that are freely available to the general public on the Web (texts posted in access-restricted sites, and Web sites offering electronic texts and digitized photograpic reproductions for sale are not included).
This page was first posted January 1, 1999 and most recently updated on December 21, 2012 . The reader may be interested to know that it currently contains 43,800 records. I urge all those are able to suggest additions or corrections to this bibliography as well as those who post new texts on the Web, to inform me by e-mail, so that this bibliography can be kept accurate and up to date. I take this opportunity to express my gratit5de to all the individuals who have supplied me with corrections and information (I extend especial thanks to Klaus Graf, Tommy Tyrberg and J. R. Stockton, who are both responsible for the addition of many hundreds of bibliographical items to this list.
A few further Neo-Latin on-line texts are omitted he because an invalid URL address is provided. Over the passage of time, of course, some of the URL addresses given here may be changed or broken. If you become aware of such difficulties, I would be grateful to have them drawn to my attention.

NOTE: in addition to standard abbreviations, in this bibliography the special abbreviation dpr (“digitized photographic reproduction”) is employed; unless otherwise specified, the file in question is in PDF format. Other abbreviations used are: GDZ = Göttinger Digitalisierungszentrum; HAB = Herzog August Bibliothek, Wolfenbüttel; MDZ = Münchener Digitalisierungszentrum.
NOTE: Access to post-1864 items on the Google Books and University of Michigan University Library sites appear to be at least partially blocked for residents of at least some non-US nations.
NOTE: Two sources of texts listed here, La Biblioteca Virtual de Andalucia, and the Universitat de Valéncia Biblioteca Digital, appear to be in the process of rebuilding their sites, and a number of texts previously posted by them are not currently available. These have therefore been at least temporarily withdrawn from this bibliography, but I would hope that they will eventually be posted once more.
NOTE: Many books posted by Google Books are registered here as if they were posted by Internet Archive. The reason for this is that Google Books offers no catalogue to its holdings, and evidently relegates that responsibility to Internet Archive, at least to some unknown degree, which therefore, to a certain extent, functions as a “front end” to Google Books.

Late Antique and Early Medieval Inscriptions
By Mark Handley
The purpose of this website is to provide a full collection of links to on-line databases, books, Phds, and articles on late antique and early medieval inscriptions, covering the period from A.D. 300 to 900. So far there are over 520 such links.
As can be seen from the tags above, the links are organized by region. Please note that the regional bibliographies provided here are limited purely to what is freely available on-line.
The 'New publications' page is intended as a resource to enable those interested to keep track of new publications. By contrast, it is not limited to what is available on-line. 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.

sAb Corpus Prosopographie
version 4
by Etienne Vande Walle
The author provides a database (in French) of the sAb-titel during the Old Kingdom and FIP. It is in PDF-format, 349 pages, with 3 (private) photos. Suggestions and corrections are invited.
Based on this material, the author published an article (in English) about the sAb-titel in the June 2011 issue of the journal Egyptological.
Version 4 (January 2013) was a major update (over a dozen pages added).
"Le présent ouvrage a pour objet de mettre à la disposition du lecteur une banque de données basique relative aux titres sAb à l’Ancien Empire et à la Première Période Intermédiaire. Elle s’articule autour de 79 titres regroupés en autant de sections, chacune d’elles contenant les occurrences du titre que j’ai pu récolter.

Chaque occurrence fait l’objet d’une entrée numérotée comportant le nom du titulaire, l’époque, le lieu de la découverte (avec mention des coordonnées de la Topographical Bibliography de Porter et Moss lorsqu’elles sont disponibles) ou la référence muséale, une bibliographie sommaire, et la titulature du défunt à laquelle j’ai pu accéder.

Mon initiative a pour objet de situer sAb dans le terreau des titulatures de la période concernée afin de définir le contexte dans lequel les porteurs du titre se meuvent, et de contribuer de la sorte à une meilleure préhension de leur secteur d’activité et de leurs compétences..."
