Baltic-Pontic-Studies (BPS)
ISSN: 1231-0344
Baltic-Pontic-Studies (BPS) jest rocznikiem wydawanym od roku 1993 przez dwa Instytuty - Prahistorii i Wschodni - Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu (UAM). Koncepcja periodyku eksponującego w wersji anglojęzycznej dorobek archeologii biokulturowego pogranicza Zachodu i Wschodu Europy uformowała się w środowisku realizatorów umowy o współpracy naukowej pomiędzy Uniwersytetem im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu i Instytutem Archeologii Narodowej Akademii Nauk Ukrainy w Kijowie (1992). Członkami Rady Redakcyjnej zostali wybitni reprezentanci „archeologii pogranicza” z ośrodków naukowych Polski, Ukrainy i Białorusi. W ramach przyjętej w BPS formuły działania impulsy do przygotowania kolejnych tomów wychodzą z grona członków Rady Redakcyjnej. Wskazują oni węzłowe problemy badawcze, wymagające dyskusji, a następnie ekspozycji - w postaci zestawu artykułów lub też opracowań monograficznych - i zarysowują optymalne formy intensyfikacji pożądanych studiów. W pierwszym zakresie dotyczy to składu zespołu potencjalnych współrealizatorów, a w kolejnych - uzgodnień programów kooperacji oraz form wsparcia organizacyjno-finansowego w oparciu o środki pozyskiwane najczęściej w systemie grantów. Poszczególne tomy BPS zawierają zatem wyłącznie artykuły zamawiane. Do chwili obecnej ukazało się 15 tomów periodyku. BPS znajduje się na liście ERIH. 


Baltic-Pontic-Studies (BPS) is a yearbook published together by two institutes of the Adam Mickiewicz University (UAM) in Poznań, Poland - the Institute of Prehistory and the Institute of Eastern Studies since 1993. The idea of a journal that would present in English the effects of the archaeological work concentrated on the biocultural borderland between the West and East of Europe was born among the signatories of the Agreement on Research Collaboration between the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and the Institute of Archaeology of Ukraine's National Academy of Sciences in Kiev (1992). Seats on the Editorial Board were accepted by distinguished scholars of 'archaeology of the borderland' from the academic centres of Poland, Ukraine and Belarus. Under the mode of operation adopted at the BPS, stimuli for new volumes are given by members of the Editorial Board. They suggest crucial research issues, calling for a discussion and then presentation in the form of a set of papers or monographs, and outline the best ways to undertake their studies further. First, the Editorial Board members choose a team of potential contributors and, second, decide on the forms of collaboration and sources of financing; the latter usually come in the form of grants. Thus, BPS volumes carry exclusively commissioned papers. BPS is on the ERIH list.

Journal for the Evangelical Study of the Old Testament
ISSN: 2169-0685
Journal for the Evangelical Study of the Old Testament (JESOT) is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the academic and evangelical study of the Old Testament. The journal seeks to fill a need in academia by providing a venue for high-level scholarship on the Old Testament from an evangelical standpoint. The journal is not affiliated with any particular academic institution, and with an international editorial board, online format, and multi-language submissions, JESOT cultivates and promotes Old Testament scholarship in the evangelical global community. The journal differs from many evangelical journals in that itseeks to publish current academic research in the areas of ancient Near Eastern backgrounds, Dead Sea Scrolls, Rabbinics, Linguistics, Septuagint, Research Methodology, Literary Analysis, Exegesis, Text Criticism, and Theology as they pertain only to the Old Testament. The journal will be freely available to the scholarly community and will be published bi-annually online. Hard copies will be produced by request. JESOT also includes up-to-date book reviews on various academic studies of the Old Testament.

      Würzburger Jahrbücher für Altertumswissenschaft
      ISSN: 2365-8444
      Die im Jahre 1975 begründete ‚Neue Folge‘ der Würzburger Jahrbücher hat zwei angesehene Vorläufer:

      Um 1930 schufen Carl Hosius, Friedrich Pfister und Joseph Vogt die ‚Würzburger Studien zur Altertumswissenschaft‘ als eine Reihe von Monographien. In den Kreis der Herausgeber sind später noch Alexander Graf Stauffenberg und Josef Martin eingetreten.

      Meist waren es herausragende Würzburger Dissertationen, die in den Heften veröffentlicht wurden. Aber auch Festgaben für Carl Hosius (unter dem Titel ‚Studien zu Tacitus‘) und für Heinrich Bulle gehörten zu dieser Reihe, die mit Unterstützung der ‚Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften bei der Universität Würzburg‘ (des späteren ‚Universitätsbundes Würzburg‘) herausgegeben wurde. Sie ist dem 2. Weltkrieg zum Opfer gefallen.  

      Unmittelbar nach dem Ende des Krieges haben dann Josef Martin und Friedrich Pfister unter Mitwirkung von Wilhelm Ensslin, Hans Krahe und Hans Möbius die ‚Würzburger Jahrbücher für die Altertumswissenschaft‘ ins Leben gerufen. Als Verleger gewannen sie Ferdinand Schöningh, Paderborn-Würzburg.

      Diese Jahrbücher erhielten – entsprechend den veränderten Bedürfnissen – den Charakter einer Zeitschrift mit breiter Thematik, die z.B. auch das Weiterleben der Antike mit einbezog. Vom Bayerischen Staatsministerium für Unterricht und Kultus, von der Stadt Würzburg und vom Universitätsbund Würzburg wurden sie unterstützt.

      Den Herausgebern gelang es, zahlreiche erstrangige Gelehrte zur Mitarbeit zu gewinnen. Viele Beiträge sind noch heute gültig. Vier stattliche Jahrgänge (1946-1950) liegen von dieser ersten Folge der Jahrbücher vor.  

      Hier haben die ersten Herausgeber der Neuen Folge angeknüpft; es war ihr Streben, nicht nur ein Forum für die Würzburger Altertumswissenschaftler zu schaffen, sondern darüber hinaus angesehene Gelehrte des In- und Auslandes zur Mitarbeit zu gewinnen. Sie haben sich zu ihrem Teil bemüht, das rege Leben, das in diesen Disziplinen herrscht, zu spiegeln, das wissenschaftliche Gespräch unter den Fachgenossen zu fördern, neuen Ergebnissen ans Licht zu verhelfen.

      Diesen Zielen fühlen sich in gleicher Weise die neuen Herausgeber verpflichtet, die mit dem Band 22 die Nachfolge angetreten haben.

      Happy New Year to Ancient World Online readers everywhere. You are looking at AWOL pages well over a million times a year now, and I'm grateful for your interest. If you have ideas for making AWOL better, send them along. If you know of open access scholarship worthy of mention, let me know!

      Make sure you look at The AWOL Index which systematically describes ancient-world information resources on the world-wide web. The bibliographic data presented herein has been programmatically extracted from the content of AWOL - The Ancient World Online (ISSN 2156-2253) and formatted in accordance with a structured data model. In continuous operation since 2009, AWOL is a blog authored by Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University.

      This publication, The AWOL Index, is an experimental project, developed jointly by Jones and Tom Elliott, the Associate Director for Digital Programs at New York University's Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW), with the assistance of Pavan Atri, Roger Bagnall, Dawn Gross, Sebastian Heath, Gabriel McKee, Ronak Parpani, David Ratzan, and Kristen Soule.
      Creation of The AWOL Index was made possible by a grant from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation.

      Parvum lexicon stemmatologicum
      The Parvum lexicon stemmatologicum (PLS) is a scholarly digital resource providing explanations for technical terms related to stemmatology, a discipline of classical and mediaeval philology aiming at understanding the historical evolution of textual traditions. The PLS was initiated, within the framework of the Studia Stemmatologica research network, by Odd Einar Haugen, who was its editor-in-chief until May 15, 2015.

      The necessity of creating such a digital resource becomes evident if one realises that stemmatology is by nature an interdisciplinary discipline, using concepts and methods from a variety of different fields: linguistics, codicology, palaeography, book history, etc. In addition, stemmatology is at the same time an old discipline (dating back from the first half of the nineteenth century in its modern form and from the Hellenistic period in its most ancient attestations) and a discipline that has recently undertaken a methodological revolution, not only because of the digital turn in the humanities, but perhaps more importantly because of the influence of phylogenetics. The PLS attempts to address the challenge of integrating old and new concepts, and besides includes the presentation of methods and tools used in stemmatology and sometimes borrowed from other disciplines, such as computer science, mathematics or biology.

      Moreover, as any other venerable discipline of the humanities, stemmatology has developed according to more or less national schools or traditions, in which the same concepts are not always used in exactly the same way. The PLS tries to address this linguistic aspect by providing equivalents of the terms in French, German, Italian, and – where appropriate – Latin.

      The list of editors and contributors to the PLS reflects the multidisciplinary and multicultural dimensions of this collective scholarly endeavour. In the last weeks before the release of this version 1.0 (Nov. 13, 2015), much of the work of reviewing this very complex dictionary has been taken up by Marina Buzzoni, Aidan Conti, Odd Einar Haugen, in addition to the two present editors.
      The lexicon is certainly not yet perfect, the length and depth of entries varies and there may even be contradictions left here and there, but we agreed that its present state is good enough as a first online version (also available as pdf and html downloads for off-line use). We are working on ideas to turn this resource into a second, completely revised version as a book publication. If you have suggestions, corrections, improvements, do not hesitate to send them to stemmatology (at) gmail.com.

      CDLP (Cuneiform Digital Library Preprints) is pleased to announce the posting of two new contributions, both by Daniel A. Foxvog. His "Introduction to Sumerian Grammar" and his "Elementary Sumerian Glossary,” are henceforth available as CDLP 2 and CDLP 3 at  <http://cdli.ucla.edu/?q=cuneiform-digital-library-preprints>.

      These manuscripts have, for several years, been available for download through Foxvog's personal comcast website, now retired; we are grateful to him for his proposal to have their revised and updated versions persistently hosted as freely available CDLP files. Both are indispensable reference works for specialists and instructors, though, as formally unpublished, less cited than they deserve. We hope that with a persistent web presence they will continue to be of use to readers of Sumerian texts, and to those teaching or working on Sumerian grammar and lexicography.

      We take this opportunity to encourage scholars to contribute their unpublished manuscripts to the CDLP in future, following the guidelines found in the lead page of the series.

      Cuadernos de Arqueología nace en 1993 con el objetivo claro de servir a la comunidad científica. En sus páginas da cabida a cualquier trabajo que, utilizando el método arqueológico, se proponga hacer Historia. Para ello hay que recuperar el paso del hombre, un pasado múltiple, tanto remoto como reciente, porque la Arqueología llega hasta ayer. Para ello el arqueólogo no sólo debe conocer y utilizar todas las técnicas que desde campos bien diversos inciden en su objetivo, sino que además tiene que saber interpretar correctamente sus resultados. Estos principios serán los que animen el espíritu de esta publicación
      Cuadernos de Arqueología was founded with the clear aim of serving the academic community. It welcomes work whose goal is to articulate history from an archaeological perspective. This involves recovering the history of humankind, both distant and recent, since archeology runs up until yesterday. To achieve this, archaeologists have to understand and use all the techniques from a wide variety of fields that affect their goals and know how to interpret their results properly. This publication draws on these principles.

       Syriac Palimpsest Digital Release  at OPENN

      1 The Syriac Galen Palimpsest

      This manuscript contains an eleventh-century liturgical text that is very important for the study of the hymns of Byzantine and Melkite Christianity. The manuscript's value is further increased by the fact that it is a palimpsest, with an older and very significant undertext. The undertext dates back to approximately the ninth century, and contains Syriac translations of Greek medical texts. Preliminary investigations have identified several leaves from Galen's major pharmacological treatise, known in Latin as De Simplicium Medicamentorum Temperamentis et Facultatibus, and in the Syriac and Arabic traditions as the "Book of Simple Drugs". The translation seems to be by Sergius of Resh Ayina, the great sixth-century scholar who was the first to translate the Greek medical corpus and who laid the foundations for the transmission of Greek science into the Islamic world. Part of the same text has been preserved in a British Library manuscript, which is useful for comparison, but the palimpsest is much larger. For further reading, see S. Bhayro, "Syriac Medical Terminology: Sergius and Galen's Pharmacopia" in Aramaic Studies 3 (2005), pp. 147-165.

      Philadelphia, PA, January 6th, 2016—The Penn Libraries is proud to announce their role as online host and one of the leaders in a partnership that will create the country’s largest regional collection of digitized medieval manuscripts. This role is made possible through a grant of almost $500,000 awarded to Bibliotheca Philadelphiensis, a new project organized by the Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries (PACSCL) and funded by the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) with generous support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
      The project, involving a total of 15 partner institutions, and led by the Penn Libraries, the Free Library of Philadelphia, and Lehigh University, will complete the digitization and online presentation of virtually all of the region’s medieval manuscripts – a total of almost 160,000 pages from more than 400 individual volumes. PACSCL first showcased the variety and depth of Philadelphia collections in a 2001 exhibition, “Leaves of Gold: Manuscript Illumination from Philadelphia Collections,” at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.  The exhibition and its associated catalogue drew heavily upon the manuscripts to be digitized in this project and sparked a surge in scholarly interest in the Philadelphia collections.

      The manuscripts in this project range from simple but functional texts intended for the students of science, philosophy, and religion to jewel-like works of art in the collections of such institutions as Bryn Mawr College, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Free Library of Philadelphia’s Rosenbach Museum.

      Bibliotheca Philadelphiensis’ images and metadata will be hosted by the Penn Libraries’ manuscript portal, OPenn (http://openn.library.upenn.edu). The images will be released into the public domain at high resolution and available for download (by the page, manuscript, or collection) with descriptive metadata. “Penn Libraries is thrilled to be collaborating with the Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries to create data on the Middle Ages for the twenty-first century from American collections,” remarked William Noel, Director of the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts at the Penn Libraries.

      The project participants include the following area libraries and museums: Bryn Mawr College, Chemical Heritage Foundation, College of Physicians of Philadelphia, Franklin and Marshall College, Free Library of Philadelphia (lead contributor and co-principal investigator) Haverford College, Lehigh University (principal investigator, fiscal agent, and dark archive), Library Company of Philadelphia, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Rosenbach Museum and Library, Swarthmore College, Temple University, University of Delaware, University of Pennsylvania (OPenn host and lead imaging/metadata center), Villanova University.
