Conventions:

• Boldface in a list of authors = large number of books found or at least a fairly exhaustive search for them, boldface in a list of sources = most significant ones in the list; ALL CAPS = most important authors.
• Within each author's page, first come "Editions" (original language texts), then "Translations," with complete editions or translations coming first in each instance, then editions or translations of individual works, grouped or ordered in a way that makes sense for the author. Lastly, "Studies" (books about the author) or "Tools" (e.g. concordances, lexica). Within a single category (e.g., complete works of X), reverse (descending) chronological order. The exception: for "Classics of Scholarship," larger categories are "Works" (in ascending chronological order), "Editions" (ancient texts edited by the scholar), and "Studies" (books about the scholar).
• Editions and translations should include the title of the work (either as generally known or specifically from the title page of the edition) and the name of the editor
• Links to Google Books are (becoming) keyed to the book id number.

PeriodO is a gazetteer of scholarly definitions of historical, art-historical, and archaeological periods. It eases the task of linking among datasets that define periods differently. It also helps scholars and students see where period definitions overlap or diverge.

The PeriodO client is an application that runs in your browser. It can be used to browse and edit any dataset that conforms to the PeriodO data model. But most people are probably interested in looking at the canonical dataset curated by the PeriodO project.
When you first load the client, you are prompted to select a backend. A backend is simply a location from which the client will load data. The client supports three kinds of backends:

• A web backend loads data from a specified URL. Data loaded from a web backend can only be browsed, not edited.
• A file backend loads data from a local file. Data loaded from a file backend is also browse-only.
• An IndexedDB backend loads data from a local database running in your browser. Data in an IndexedDB backend can be edited as well as browsed. (Note that Safari does not yet have full support for IndexedDB.)

The Digital Classicist is a decentralised and international community of scholars and students interested in the application of innovative digital methods and technologies to research on the ancient world. The Digital Classicist is not hard-funded, nor owned by any institution. The main purpose of this site is to offer a web-based hub for discussion, collaboration and communication.

• Seminars: Digital Classicist-themed seminars are hosted by the Institute for Classical Studies, University of London (from 2006); DAI, Berlin and Leipzig Department of e-Humanities (from 2012), and Tufts University, Boston (from 2015). We archive here all of the programmes and outcomes of these seminars (which include three peer-reviewed publications) and all media is published via our RSS feed.
• Discussion list: hosted by JISCmail, for the discussion of all aspects of Digital Humanties, e-Science, and cyberinfrastructure as they apply to the study of the ancient world; technical questions and advice; event, publication, and job announcements. Membership is open to anyone who wishes to sign up.
• Stoa Blog: founded by Ross Scaife and hosted by the University of Kentucky, the Stoa is a source for news and discussion of classical and digital matters, especially with a focus on web standards and Open Access/Open Source publication. Ross's work both predated and was the inspiration for the Digital Classicist.
• Wiki: the heart of the Digital Classicist website, supporting collaboratively contributed and edited materials of various kinds: digital tools for the study or manipulation of ancient data; classical projects that employ advanced computational methods; technical questions of interest to classicists and archaeologists. Reports on postgraduate dissertations and other works-in-progress are especially welcome. Wiki accounts need to be approved by an editor, but this is only to cut back on spam not to limit participation to any putative élite.

We seek to encourage the growth of a community of practice, which is open to everyone interested in the topic, regardless of skill or experience in technical matters, and language of contribution. Membership of the community is entirely open, and measured only by the numbers of users of our various sites. There is no formal executive or board; the most active members tend to take on administrative duties. As a general principle, key sections of the website or summaries of discussions will, where possible, be translated into the major languages of scholarship (dependent upon volunteer translators).
In Memoriam: Ross Scaife (1960-2008)

‘Curse tablets’ are small sheets of lead, inscribed with messages from individuals seeking to make gods and spirits act on their behalf and influence the behaviour of others against their will. The motives are usually malign and their expression violent, for example to wreck an opponent’s chariot in the circus, to compel a person to submit to sex or to take revenge on a thief. Letters and lines written back to front, magical ‘gibberish’ and arcane words and symbols often lend the texts additional power to persuade. In places where supernatural agents could be contacted, thrown into sacred pools at temples, interred with the dead or hidden by the turning post at the circus, these tablets have survived to be found by archaeologists. 

Our written evidence for the Greek and Roman world mostly derives from literary texts written by and for small aristocratic groups, but in curse tablets we hear different voices, of provincials and non-citizens on the edge of empire, women and slaves. With the growing number of discoveries, scholars have become more familiar with the scripts and are reading texts with greater confidence. Since the major discoveries of curses at Bath and at Uley Roman Britain has been at the centre of the study of curse tablets, since the province is currently the principal source for new discoveries of curses in Latin. 

The following pages introduce curse tablets in the ancient world at large and in Britain in particular. They outline the preparation of curses, from making the tablet through writing the text to dispatching the curse to the gods. They examine the languages and scripts in which they were written, the cursers, the scribes and those who were cursed. Motives for cursing and the supernatural powers engaged to put curses into effect are investigated. We explore too where tablets are found and how they are preserved and interpreted by archaeologists and historians. 

Throughout this introduction cross-references are made to the tablets and to the archaeological sites presented elsewhere in this website. Evidence from other curse tablets in Britain, especially Bath, and across the ancient world is also used.

En 1974, Pierre Lévêque crée la revue Dialogues d’Histoire Ancienne, conçue comme un espace de présentation et de discussion des études sur l’histoire des sociétés antiques, de leurs structures sociales, économiques, religieuses et culturelles.

Revue d’histoire ancienne généraliste publiée par l’Institut des Sciences Techniques de l’Antiquité (ISTA) de l’Université de Franche-Comté, elle s’efforce également d’offrir des approches diverses, d’inventorier des domaines nouveaux, de s’intéresser à des espaces considérés trop longtemps comme périphériques.

Trabajos de Egiptología inició su andadura en 2002, con el propósito de recoger la producción científica de la naciente Egiptología española, al tiempo que abría sus páginas a contribuciones de autores de centros extranjeros para favorecer un diálogo entre especialistas de nuestro país y exteriores a él. Las intenciones de los creadores de la revista, Miguel Ángel Molinero Polo, Antonio Pérez Largacha, José Ramón Pérez-Accino y Mª Covadonga Sevilla Cueva, se recogen en el texto con que se abría el número 1, en forma de Editorial.

Aun siendo activos protagonistas en el desarrollo de una Egiptología española, los miembros del primer Consejo Editorial asumieron desde el principio una decisión difícil y que podía ser mal entendida: que los artículos que se publicaran estuvieran escritos en alguna de las lenguas oficiales de la Egiptología, sabiendo que el español no forma parte de ellas. La revista no es de divulgación sino de investigación y, por tanto, lo lógico es escribir en alguna de las lenguas en que los propios egipcios –que son los primeros destinatarios de los trabajos sobre la Historia de su país– y los demás egiptólogos, así como un público internacional, puedan entenderlo. Esto no es impedimento para que esa investigación pueda darse a conocer en español, posteriormente, a través de otros medios. El uso de nuestra lengua se contempla para situaciones especiales y la propia revista ha editado un número, el 5 (un grueso volumen dividido en dos tomos), compuesto íntegramente por textos en español.
En la actualidad, Trabajos de Egiptología está producida por el Centro de Estudios Africanos de la Universidad de La Laguna y sostenida económicamente por Isfet. Egiptología e Historia.
 
Hasta el momento se han editado seis números cuyo contenido, así como el PDF de los artículos de los primeros números, puede verse en la página: Índices. Ya se ha enviado un correo  solicitando artículos para el numero 7, que se publicará en 2016.

Trabajos de Egiptología. Papers on Ancient Egypt was founded in 2002 with the aim of publishing the scientific production of the expanding Spanish community of Egyptologists, while at the same time welcoming external contributions as a way to promote a fruitful dialogue between international and Spanish specialists. More details regarding the journal´s objectives can be found in the editorial article that appears in the opening pages of TdE 1 (Editorial, in Spanish).

The editors decided from the beginning that the contributions to the journal should be written in the internationally accepted academic languages of Egyptology. Nevertheless, volume 5 has been published with texts in Spanish and Portuguese because of the relevance of the articles and the event that originated them, the Third Iberian Congress of Egyptologists.

Trabajos de Egiptología is produced by the Centro de Estudios Africanos de la Universidad de La Laguna and financially supported by Isfet. Egiptología e Historia.
 
Six volumes of TdE have been published so far. Their contents and PDF of the articles of previous numbers can be seen in the section: Index.

The Anne Jeffery Archive is a collection of papers and photographs assembled by L.H. Jeffery (known as "Anne Jeffery") throughout her working life. It was bequeathed to the Faculty of Literae Humaniores at Oxford University on her death in 1986 and comprises one hundred foolscap folders, two "scribbling diaries" and one large tin of photographic negatives.

The section of the archive relating directly to the production of The Local Scripts of Archaic Greece ("LSAG") has been catalogued and digitised, as part of a programme of work (Script, Image and the Culture of Writing in the Ancient World) funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. This portion of the archive amounts to about five thousand pages of notes filed in seventy-seven of the folders. The notes themselves are typically written in pencil and include observations, bibliography, transliterations and drawings of epigraphic documents. The drawings, of which there are roughly four thousand in this section of the archive, are of particular interest. Many are originals and in numerous cases the images sketched by Jeffery give a clear impression of the three-dimensional context of a given piece of ancient writing. This is all the more true when the drawings are combined with photographs from the archive, about six hundred of which concern texts catalogued in LSAG. The photographs are mostly black and white negatives taken by Jeffery herself using a medium format (6cm x 6cm) Rolleiflex camera, the few exceptions being the occasional print obtained for the purposes of research or sent by others with a request for expert advice.

Anne Jeffery did not originally intend her papers to become an archive and so was frugal and imaginative in her choice of stationery. Some notes were made on clean sheets of paper of a fairly standard size but others were made on whatever scraps came to hand, whether the backs of draft publications, administrative circulars or odd envelopes. Many of these materials do not age well and the result is that the archive is deteriorating. This factor has added urgency to the digitisation project.

The papers and photographs in the Anne Jeffery Archive complement and enrich LSAG. They add substantially to the brief entries on individual inscriptions in the book. The aim of this project is to make the archive available in electronic form as a new and extensible resource for studying the development of the Greek alphabet.

introduction | search & browse inscriptions | map gallery | about Anne Jeffery | about this site

Ethiopia is one of the countries with the most ancient Christian history, and the only country in Africa where Christianity became official religion as early as in the 4th century A.D. It is also one of the very few African regions where the history has been documented in written sources: manuscripts in possession of ca. 600 monasteries and 20,000 churches, some of which date back to early Middle Ages, have been estimated to number dozens of thousands. 

Only a minor part of these archives have so far received scholarly evaluation, only less than one tenth of manuscripts have been microfilmed or digitalized, and only those that have come in possession of European libraries have been duly catalogued and are well protected. A great part of this unique heritage is on the verge of extinction, and urgent action needs to be taken to save it from complete disappearance. 

The Project Ethio-SPaRe (ERC Starting Grant 240720; Dec. 2009 - May 2015) was dedicated to the preservation and scientific analysis of manuscripts located in Ethiopian churches and monasteries, with the focus of the activities being in the region of Tegray in the north of the country.

The main tasks of the project include:

• identify the most important monastic libraries and archives
• create inventories and shelflists
• protect and create digital copies of the most precious witnesses
• analyse and classify the types of texts
• create searchable databases that will allow quantitative and qualitative research into Ethiopian literature
• create virtual manuscript libraries
• catalogue manuscripts according to modern requirements
• critically edit the most important texts
• publish and analyse a number of witnesses
• perform research into the literary history
• perform research into oral traditions
• widely disseminate research results

This website offers the key data on the project, including field mission reports, public presentations and project publications, meetings and conferences, and the annotated data repository for archives, manuscripts and objects; please use the navigation panel on the left.

Bioarchaeology of the Near East (printed version ISSN 1898-9403, online ISSN 1899-962X) is published annually in one volume. The aim of the journal is to promote research on the history of human populations inhabiting South-Western Asia (chiefly Mesopotamia, Syria, Palestine, Anatolia, Iran, and Egypt). It will publish original contributions in which methods of physical anthropology and bioarchaeology are used to answer historical questions. Three kinds of texts will be considered for publication: original papers, general review articles (especially those focussing on methodological issues), and short fieldwork reports. Papers of two first categories will be subject to peer review.

The editors welcome contributions focusing on the biological background of historical processes observed in past populations in the region where most ancient civilisations of the Old World emerged. This includes large-scale studies e.g., on migrations, secular trends, microevolution, temporal changes or regional differences in the quality of life, disease patterns or demographical profiles, but also local studies or diagnostic case studies of distinguished individuals. Papers using not only biological, but also archaeological and textual evidence are mostly appreciated. For more effective exchange of information the journal also includes short fieldwork reports on human remains excavated at archaeological sites located in the region of interest.

Welcome to the ENcoding COmplex Writing Systems (ENCOWS) discussion list. This list arises from a first workshop on applying EpiDoc/TEI markup to complex, non-alphabetic scripts organized by Christian Prager and held at the University of Bonn, at which Mayan, Aztec, Linear A and Cypro-Minoan, Hieroglyphic Luwian, and Cuneiform were represented. We welcome discussion of all aspects of encoding complex writing in these and other languages, including epigraphy, text transcription, object and historical metadata, vocabularies and terminology, publication and infrastructure.

We plan to discuss the following topics:

1. Text description
      - Encoding of original characters and their alignment/layout (tei:sourceDoc/EpiDoc; SVG; separate Character dictionaries)
      - Encoding of (phonematic) transcription and philological markup (Unicode; EpiDoc; ...?): https://goo.gl/RvS5zu
      - Linking between the two (RDF; id-pairs; xpointer; …?)
2. Terminology to describe features of complex writing systems: https://goo.gl/f5edy3
     - Collate markup features (superset of everyone's projects)
     - Vocabulary for decipherment, transcription, transnumeration…
     - Vocabulary for logograms/phonograms/semograms/...
     - Typology of ligatures/monograms
3. Metadata of the text artefacts
     - Collate historical/descriptive features (superset of everyone's projects)
     - Metadata and their mapping onto TEI: https://goo.gl/ISc5bp
     - Shared vocabularies / metadata standards
4. Shared infrastructure and research environment 

     - Publication platform.
     - Customizable tools.

An exploration of Latin usage in poetry of Croatian author Paulus Ritter Vitezović, including a comparison of his verse-endings with those of Ovid.

About Ritter's poetic language

The hypothesis is that relatively little of poetic language characteristic for Ovid's epistles (Heroides, Tristia, Ex Ponto) is present in the Neo-Latin epistles by Ritter Vitezović.
The hypothesis will be tested by examination of verse clausulae (verse endings): one, two, or three words at the end of verse. We want to see how many clausulae from Ovid's epistles appear in Ritter Vitezović's texts.

Additionally, we will use the same procedure to compare beginnings of Ovid's and Ritter Vitezović's verses.
