When the Greeks Ruled Egypt: From Alexander the Great to Cleopatra 

October 8, 2014 - January 4, 2015
http://isaw.nyu.edu/logo.png
When the Greeks Ruled Egypt: From Alexander the Great to Cleopatra examines the interactions between Greek and Egyptian cultures during the nearly 300-year period when Egypt was under Greek rule. With some 150 objects, the exhibition reveals the many and diverse ways in which cultural tropes were strategically used by Egypt’s Ptolemaic rulers as a means of asserting power and provoking loyalty among the conquered population. In the process, it also reveals the intense familial intrigue that characterized the Ptolemies as they sought to maintain their position.
In exploring the ways in which two long-lasting, very different cultural traditions were brought together, the exhibition shines a light on the fluidity of the very idea of specific cultural identity. Indeed, When the Greeks Ruled Egypt has great contemporary resonance, reminding us that the use of culture—and family—for political ends is hardly unique to our era.

Collatinus: Lemmatiseur et analyseur morphologique de textes latins
Collatinus est une application libre, gratuite et multi-plateforme (Mac, Windows et Debian GNU/Linux), simple à installer et facile à utiliser. 

Collatinus est à la fois un lemmatiseur et un analyseur morphologique de textes latins : il est capable, si on lui donne une forme déclinée ou conjuguée, de trouver quel mot il faudra chercher dans le dictionnaire pour avoir sa traduction dans une autre langue, ses différents sens, et toutes les autres données que fournit habituellement le dictionnaire.

En pratique, il est utile surtout au professeur de latin, qui peut ainsi très rapidement, à partir d’un texte hors-manuel, distribuer à ses élèves un texte inédit avec son aide lexicale. Les élèves s’en servent souvent pour lire plus facilement le latin lorsque leurs connaissances lexicales et morphologiques sont encore insuffisantes.

Principales fonctionnalités

  • lemmatisation de mots latins ou d'un texte latin entier,
  • traduction des lemmes grâce aux dictionnaires de latin incorporés dans l'application,
  • affichage des quantités (durée longue ou brève des syllabes) et des flexions (déclinaison ou conjugaison).

WORDHOARD: An application for the close reading and scholarly analysis of deeply tagged texts
http://wordhoard.northwestern.edu/userman/images/icon.gif
The WordHoard project is named after an Old English phrase for the verbal treasure 'unlocked' by a wise speaker. It applies to highly canonical literary texts the insights and techniques of corpus linguistics, that is to say, the empirical and computer-assisted study of large bodies of written texts or transcribed speech. In the WordHoard environment, such texts are annotated or tagged by morphological, lexical, prosodic, and narratological criteria. They are mediated through a 'digital page' or user interface that lets scholarly but non-technical users explore the greatly increased query potential of textual data kept in such a form.

It is a basic assumption of WordHoard that new kinds of historical, literary, or broadly cultural analysis will be supported through the forms of data access that are made possible when literary texts are treated in the manner of linguistic corpora. Deeply tagged corpora of course support more finely grained inquiries at a verbal or stylistic level. But more importantly, access to the words of a text at such microscopic levels also lets you look in new ways at the imaginative worlds created by those words.

In its current release WordHoard contains the entire canon of Early Greek epic in the original and in translation, as well as all of Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Spenser. The section on Provenance, Copyrights, and Licenses provides detailed information about the texts.

The Orlando W. Qualley Papyrus Collection
Orlando W. “Pip” Qualley, professor of classics and vice president of Luther College, spent the 1924-25 academic year in Egypt. He was on the staff of an archaeological project of the University of Michigan at a site named Karanis, a city of the ancient Roman period. During that year he purchased for Luther nine ancient papyrus fragments from an antiquities dealer in Cairo for use in his teachings. In 2014, these papyri were rediscovered in his collection during a special cataloging initiative in the Luther College Archives.  The papyri underwent modern conservation at the University of Michigan and are now housed properly in glass and have been added to an international catalog of papyrus fragments.

Just appeared in ANCIENT NEAR EAST MONOGRAPHS / MONOGRAFIAS SOBRE EL ANTIGUO CERCANO ORIENTE

Israel and the Assyrians: Deuteronomy, the Succession Treaty of Esarhaddon, and the Nature of Subversion
 
Was Deuteronomy created to be a subversive text based on Assyian treaties?
In this new book Crouch focuses on Deuteronomy’s subversive intent, asking what would be required in order for Deuteronomy to successfully subvert either a specific Assyrian source or Assyrian ideology more generally. The book reconsiders the nature of the relationship between Deuteronomy and Assyria, Deuteronomy’s relationship to ancient Near Eastern and biblical treaty and loyalty oath traditions, and the relevance of Deuteronomy’s treaty affinities to discussions of its date.
Features:
  • A thorough investigation of the nature and requirements of subversion
  • A focused examination of the context in which Deuteronomy would have functioned
  • An appendix focused on redactional questions related to Deuteronoy 13 and 28
C. L. Crouch is Lecturer in Hebrew Bible in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom. She is the author of The Making of Israel: Cultural Diversity in the Southern Levant and the Formation of Ethnic Identity in Deuteronomy (Brill, 2014).

Les inscriptions grecques de Thespies
Paul ROESCH, directeur de recherches au CNRS, membre de l'Institut Fernand-Courby au sein de la Maison de l'Orient et de la Méditerranée Jean-Pouilloux à Lyon, est décédé en 1990 en laissant inachevé ce qui devait être son grand œuvre, le corpus de la cité béotienne de Thespies, soit un peu plus de 1400 inscriptions, ce qui en fait le plus important ensemble épigraphique de la région.
Durant de nombreuses années, Paul Roesch avait rassemblé une documentation impressionnante, faite en particulier de photographies et d'estampages, préparé nombre de lemmes, établi les textes et les apparats critiques, rédigé un certain nombre de traductions et de commentaires. Après sa disparition, la famille de Paul Roesch confia les archives de notre collègue à l'Institut Courby, devenu depuis l'UMR HiSoMA, à charge pour notre équipe de mettre cette documentation à la disposition du public savant.
Trois collègues et amis de Paul Roesch, Gilbert ARGOUD, Professeur émérite à l'Université Jean-Monnet de Saint-Étienne, membre de l'Institut Courby, Albert SCHACHTER, Professeur émérite à l'Université McGill à Montréal et Guy VOTTÉRO, Professeur à l'Université de Nancy 2, ont, à partir de 2000, entrepris de mettre au net le manuscrit de Thespies sans dénaturer le travail déjà réalisé.
C'est le résultat de cette entreprise que l'on trouvera ici, sur le site de l'UMR HiSoMA, sous l'égide de laquelle elle fut lancée. Il nous a semblé que l'outil informatique était le moyen le plus approprié et le plus rapide de faire connaître le travail de Paul Roesch sur les inscriptions de Thespies et de rendre ainsi l'hommage qu'il mérite à un savant dont les travaux sur la Béotie font toujours référence. Les recherches sur la Béotie et sur Thespies vont se poursuivre, puisqu'il reste les inscriptions funéraires à présenter et qu'il nous faudra donner accès à une documentation photographique particulièrement précieuse et à la collection des estampages.

Revue d'Histoire des Textes (RHT)
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.

Exemplaria Classica
ISSN: 1699 - 3225
http://www.uhu.es/publicaciones/ojs/public/journals/3/pageHeaderTitleImage_es_ES.gif
 In recent years the University of Huelva has been at the vanguard of studies in textual criticism and codicology. Throughout the pages of its annual publication Exemplaria Classica (Vol. 8 (2004-); superseding Exemplaria (1997-2003), which was not restricted to Classical literature), a wide array of material with a textual focus (whether Textkritik, Textgeschichte or Überlieferungsgeschichte) has been treated in all corners of Greek and Latin literature. The first volume boldly announced the admirably rigorous line that the journal wished to pursue: "we are convinced, against the fashions of the day, that the classical texts carry their own meaning. This meaning is not a mere construction or ideation of the critic... We discourage speculative or heavily theoretical commentaries which are not firmly anchored in the discussion of texts and factual information" (A. Ramírez de Verger, Vol. 8 (2004), pp.3-4).
