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.

The Waters of Rome
http://www3.iath.virginia.edu/waters/chiesa/chiesa_tiber_island_small.jpg
A refereed, on-line journal of occasional papers concerned with water studies and the city of Rome.
Authors are invited to submit articles on any aspect of the hydrological or hydraulic history of Rome from the prehistoric to the present day, to be considered for publication. Articles that investigate water and water infrastructure as a system (rather than examining an individual feature) within a social, cultural, or technological context are particularly welcome. Our interest is to stimulate discussion about water's role in urban development, especially within the context of issues of infrastructural and landscape urbanism studies. Every submission is reviewed by the editor and a minimum of two outside reviewers who are authorities drawn from the disciplines of history, classics, architecture, landscape architecture, archaeology, architectural and art history, and geography.

Ägyptologische "Binsen"-Weisheiten I – II : neue Forschungen und Methoden der Hieratistik ; Akten zweier Tagungen in Mainz im April 2011 und März 2013
Verhoeven-van Elsbergen, Ursula (Herausgeber)

Bemerkung:Zweitveröffentlichung der Verlagsausgabe; Verhoeven-van Elsbergen, Ursula veröffentlicht unter: Verhoeven, Ursula
 Das Hieratische, die kursive Form der Hieroglyphen, diente als Handschrift der Alten Ägypter und wurde über 3000 Jahre lang tagtäglich für vielfältige Zwecke verwendet. Nicht nur Verwaltungsangelegenheiten, sondern auch Texte der Literatur, Religion und Wissensgebiete wurden mit ihr notiert. Hieratisch schrieb man mit Tusche und Binsenstengeln (in römischer Zeit mit Rohrfedern) auf unterschiedlichste Textträger wie Papyri, Leinen, Leder, Holz oder Ostraka, aber auch auf Steinobjekten und Monumenten in der Form von Dipinti, Graffiti oder Inschriften. Die Auswertung der zahlreichen hieratischen Quellen stellt einen integralen Bestandteil der ägyptologischen Forschung dar. Die systematische Analyse der altägyptischen Kursivschriften, ihrer Schreibpraxis und paläographischen Details ist aber in weiten Teilen ein Desiderat des Faches. 

Zwei Tagungen in Mainz (2011 und 2013) hatten sich zum Ziel gesetzt, der Erforschung von Phänomenen und Problemen des Hieratischen als Schriftart neue Impulse zu geben. Der nun vorliegende Sammelband beinhaltet 17 Beiträge internationaler Spezialistinnen und Spezialisten zu Stand, Methoden und Perspektiven der Hieratistik als einem integralen Bestandteil der Ägyptologie. Die Autoren hinterfragen die entwicklungsgeschichtlichen Parallelen und Unterschiede zwischen den Schriftarten Monumentalhieroglyphen, Kursivhieroglyphen und Hieratisch, drei Aufsätze widmen sich auch dem spätzeitlichen Abnorm- oder Kursivhieratischen und römerzeitlichen Besonderheiten. Außerdem werden anhand von Quellen verschiedener Epochen regionale, gattungsbezogene und persönliche Spezifika sowie die hieratische Epigraphik und Papyrologie beleuchtet.

History of Cartography
http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/HOC/HOC_logo.jpeg
The first volume of the History of Cartography was published in 1987 and the three books that constitute Volume Two appeared over the following eleven years. In 1987 the worldwide web did not exist, and since 1998 book publishing has gone through a revolution in the production and dissemination of work. Although the large format and high quality image reproduction of the printed books (see right column) are still well-suited to the requirements for the publishing of maps, the online availability of material is a boon to scholars and map enthusiasts.

On this site the University of Chicago Press is pleased to present the first three volumes of the History of Cartography in PDF format. Navigate to the PDFs from the left column. Each chapter of each book is a single PDF. The search box on the left allows searching across the content of all the PDFs that make up the first six books.

Charaktêres: The Handbook and Analysis of Ancient Ritual Signs Project 
Print
Kurzdarstellung
Zauberzeichen bilden eine formenreiche, bisher nicht gedeutete Gruppe antiker Zeichen, die ausschließlich in Kontexten der Interaktion mit höheren Mächten auftreten und als nicht lesbar oder kryptisch klassifiziert werden. Die frühesten Belege aus dem 1. Jh. n. Chr. sind in griechischer, kurz darauf in hebräischer und lateinischer Sprache aus Griechenland, Großbritannien und Frankreich überliefert, etwa gleichzeitig mit einer griechischen Ritualanleitung aus Ägypten, in der erstmals der antike Fachbegriff Charaktêres in Erscheinung tritt. Bereits im 2. Jh. ist die Verwendung von Zauberzeichen im gesamten Römischen Reich und in Verbindung mit griechischen, ägyptischen, römischen und jüdischen Elementen verbreitet. Seit dem 3. Jh. finden sich die Zeichen in demotischen und koptischen Texten und seit dem 4. Jh. in aramäischen.

A short history

The Charaktêres Project started in 2008, in 2010 I set up a blog to make the research progress available to everyone who is interested in the topic. I had always worked on the Charaktêres alongside my jobs. Now, in november 2016, I received a grant by the German Research Foundation which means I will be able to focus on the research full time. Thanks to this grant the Charaktêres Project will be situated at the University of Erfurt from January 2017 to December 2019.

Art & Cultural Heritage Law Newsletter: A Publication of the Art & Cultural Heritage Law Committee
This committee is composed of attorneys with an interest in the field of art, cultural heritage, and cultural property law and who work in a variety of settings, including private practice, museums, government, and academia. This area of law is concerned with both movable and immovable property of artistic, cultural, religious and historic interest. Topics recently considered by the committee include the 1970 UNESCO Convention and international trade in antiquities, underwater cultural heritage, art works stolen during the Holocaust, ratification of the 1954 Hague Convention on the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, and the impact of war on the cultural heritage of Iraq. Within a diverse field with often sharply differing opinions, the committee endeavors to represent a variety of perspectives and welcomes all with an interest in this timely and fascinating subject.

Juxta is an open-source tool for comparing and collating multiple witnesses to a single textual work. Originally designed to aid scholars and editors examine the history of a text from manuscript to print versions, Juxta offers a number of possibilities for humanities computing and textual scholarship.
As a standalone desktop application, Juxta allows users to complete many of the necessary operations of textual criticism on digital texts (TXT and XML). With this software, you can add or remove witnesses to a comparison set, switch the base text at will. Once you’ve collated a comparison, Juxta also offers several kinds of analytic visualizations. By default, it displays a heat map of all textual variants and allows the user to locate — at the level of any textual unit — all witness variations from the base text. Users can switch to a side by side collation view, which gives a split frame comparison of a base text with a witness text. A histogram of Juxta collations is particularly useful for long documents; this visualization displays the density of all variation from the base text and serves as a useful finding aid for specific variants.
The desktop version of Juxta also allows users to annotate Juxta-revealed comparisons and save the results, and can output a lemmatized schedule (in HTML format) of the textual variants in any set of comparisons. It can run on any modern Macintosh, Windows, or Unix computer with Java 1.5 installed.
Juxta has also been developed as a web service with a limited set of the features available in the desktop application. This web service can be integrated into a host site and controlled via a well-documented API. This web-service powers Juxta Commons, the destination site for using Juxta on the web. No download is necessary: simply upload or link to your sources and start collating! Screencasts and a user guide are available, and the R&D team would appreciate your feedback during this beta release.
The source code for Juxta is distributed under the Apache License and available on GitHub. There are separate public repositories for the desktop and web service versions of Juxta. There is a Google Groups forum for developers.

Antiochepedia = Musings Upon Ancient Antioch
Antioch on the Orontes (Greek: Αντιόχεια η επί Ορόντου; Latin: Antiochia ad Orontem) was one of the most important cities of the Graeco-roman period. The ancient city stood on the eastern side of the Orontes River. It is currently partly covered by the modern city of Antakya. It was founded in the 4th century BC by Seleucus I Nicator. Antioch eventually rivaled Alexandria as the chief city of the Near East and played a particularly strong role in the late Empire.

Kerameikos.org
http://kerameikos.org/ui/images/banner.jpg
Kerameikos.org is a collaborative project dedicated to defining the intellectual concepts of pottery following the tenets of linked open data and the formulation of an ontology for representing and sharing ceramic data across disparate data systems. While the project is focused primarily on the definition of concepts within Greek black- and red-figure pottery, Kerameikos.org is extensible toward the definition of concepts in other fields of pottery studies.
See the github account at https://github.com/kerameikos, which contains repositories for the RDF data and the publication framework. This framework could be applied to other linked data thesauri.
