The Human Adventure, James Henry Breasted's 1935 film centered around the archaeological projects of the Oriental Institute is online at The Oriental Institute's Youtube Channel.
This 1935 film, produced by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago under the supervision of Dr. James Henry Breasted was written and told by his son, Charles Breasted. Though we no longer think about archaeology in the same way, this film gives us insight into the early days of the field.

Causing His Name to Live: Studies in Egyptian Epigraphy and History in Memory of William J. Murnane
Culture and History of the Ancient Near East Volume 37
Edited by Peter Brand and Louise Cooper
(E. J. Brill Academic Publishers: Leiden, 2009)
ISBN 978 90 04 176447 * ISSN 1566-2055
William J. Murnane (1945-2000) dedicated his life to the epigraphic recording and historical interpretation of the monuments of pharaonic Egypt. In tribute to his important contributions to Egyptology, a prominent group of his colleagues and students offer a range of new studies on Egyptian epigraphy and historiography. Amarna studies loom large in the volume as they did in Murnane's own work. Several chapters investigate the art, history and chronology of the reigns of Akhenaten and his immediate successors. Other contributions deal with historical issues, especially those connected with the epigraphic and archaeological aspects of the Theban temples of Karnak and Luxor. The book is richly illustrated with photographs and drawings.

Through the generosity of E. J. Brill, all of the content of the book Causing His Name to Live will remain available here for free public use. Although the content is the same, the typesetting and formatting of the material on this website differs from that of the printed book.

9th International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East (ICAANE)
Welcome to the Homepage of the 9th International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East (ICAANE), which will take place in Basel (Switzerland) from June 9-13, 2014.

The Congress is organized by the University of Basel, as a co-operation of the Faculty of Humanities, the Faculty of Science, and the Faculty of Theology.
The Congress is the most prestigious event of this kind for Near Eastern archaeologists. It is held biannually in different cities. Earlier congresses were held in Rome (1998, 2008), Copenhagen (2000), Paris (2002), Berlin (2004), Madrid (2006), London (2010), and Warsaw (2012).

The ICAANE is the only world-wide international conference on the archaeology of the Near East, and is attended by specialists on Ancient Near Eastern Archaeology from leading research institutions, museums and scientific centres - about 1000 participants, delivering 450 speeches.

Classics and Class (1615 - 2015) 
http://www.classicsandclass.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/c-c.jpg
Classics and Class in Britain (1789-1939) is an AHRC-funded research project based at King’s College, London. Our primary aim is to present and amplify the many lost voices of British working-class men and women who engaged with ancient Greek and Roman culture throughout the period. We intend to show the richness and diversity of the responses to ancient Greece and Rome among those who are often considered to have been excluded from it. By presenting their stories now, via our growing digital archive, we also hope that their example may inspire a more inclusive atmosphere for participation in classical culture across society today, when the increasing cost of university education in Britain has made it even more urgent to explore the popular perception of Classics as an elitist subject available only to the rich and privileged.

Our perception of the historical relationship between Classics and the divisions between citizens on the criterion of social class is distorted because the crucial voices–those of the working class–have yet to be heard. An exploratory conference organised by Edith Hall which was funded and hosted by the British Academy in July 2010 revealed that this ‘exclusionist’ model is usually taken for granted, and conventionally supported by a few passages in canonical 19th-century authors such as Dickens, Eliot, and Hardy. The meeting also underlined the neglect suffered by the evidence for contact with Classics produced by working-class people themselves (autobiographies, memoirs, letters, records of recreational activities, political banners, leaflets).

CDLI News: The National Museums Scotland

CDLI News
The National Museums Scotland (NMS) and the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative are pleased to announce the addition of the digitized NMS cuneiform corpus to CDLI’s website.
With approximately 250 objects in storage, the collection of the NMS is the largest of its kind in Scotland. It is remarkable due to its diversity, covering various periods of Mesopotamian history and beyond. Although a majority of the corpus consists of cuneiform artifacts made of clay (mainly tablets and bricks), the collection contains several nice examples of Neo-Assyrian reliefs as well.
It is not surprising that administrative records dating to the last century of the 3rd millennium BC, the so-called Ur III period, have a fair share in this collection. An edition of this still mostly unpublished corpus is planned for the near future together with further smaller Scottish collections of cuneiform artifacts. Although much of this material consists of small receipts, some larger specimens of Ur III accounts are noteworthy, thus the fragment of a large Ur III account, whose date is unfortunately broken. The account deals with work performed for the house of the third king of the Ur III dynasty, Amar-Suen, and mentions a variety of workers (those that are present, missing and dead). Similarly significant documents are a literary letter addressed to a king that is known from several places and that uses sophisticated epithets, and a Sumerian love incantation with just one duplicate, adding valuable information to the understanding of this composition due to its excellent state of preservation.
Besides Sumerian literary texts, there are quite a few well-preserved legal texts in the NMS dating to the Old Babylonian period. Due to such internal criteria as names and places referenced in the records, we learn that a substantial number originate from the site of ancient Kish. Others such as NMS A.1909.405.28 might originate from Sippar. Fragments of its original envelope are still preserved. Furthermore, there is an Old Babylonian letter written in Akkadian dealing with the rights to a field.
Although there are no texts in the collection from Mesopotamia proper that date to the second half of the 2nd millennium BC, there is a brick with a Middle Elamite royal inscription by the Shutrukid king Shilhak-Inshushinak commemorating the restoration of the temple of Kiririsha-of-Liyan (see K. Wagensonner, CDLN2014:018 [forthcoming]).
Aside from these clay tablets, the most noteworthy objects held by the collection are its Neo-Assyrian period (ca. 911-612 BC) relief. Among the latest datable texts in the collection are those dating to the Neo-Babylonian (ca. 626-539 BC) and the subsequent Achaemenid periods (547-331 BC). The well-preserved tablet NMS A.1909.405.23 derives from the vast archive of the Egibi family, whose business spanned over five generations (see C. Wunsch, Das Egibi-Archiv [=Cuneiform Monographs 20. Groningen 2000]). This text, from the third year of Darius, testifies to the purchase of a plot of land; it has a duplicate in the British Museum (BM 32180 + 33125; see Wunsch op.cit., no. 199A). Due to the better preservation of the Edinburgh tablet, the whole transaction is better understood.
Noteworthy for this late stage in Mesopotamian history is also a royal inscription by the Neo-Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II (605-562 BC), inscribed on a clay barrel cylinder. This inscription is known from several examples, among others a similar barrel in the John Rylands Library (Manchester). Last but not least, one should draw attention to a bilingual version of a lamentation, whose copy in Edinburgh dates to the second half of the 1st millennium BC as well. A strikingly similar text in terms of scribal hand and spacing is a bilingual prayer in the Manchester Museum.
Thanks to the cordial assistance of NMS curators, the results of the National Museums Scotland collaboration have now been added to CDLI pages.
Any queries regarding the collection should be directed to Margaret Maitland, Curator of the Ancient Mediterranean (m.maitland@nms.ac.uk); any corrections or comments on the catalogue and associated online files should be directed to CDLI (cdli@ucla.edu).
The imaging in Edinburgh was undertaken by Kathryn Kelley and Klaus Wagensonner (University of Oxford). The RTI capture of the Neo-Assyrian relief in the collection as well as some chosen cuneiform texts were done by James Miles (University of Southampton). Post-capture processing was undertaken by Klaus Wagensonner. The NMS digital capture was made possible by funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and is are part of the on-going mission of CDLI to ensure the long-term digital preservation of ancient cuneiform inscriptions, and, in furtherance of humanities research, to provide free global access to all available text artifact data.

Fragmentary Latin Grammarians (FLG)

Fragmentary Latin Grammarians (FLG)
Fragmentary Latin Grammarians (FLG) is a project dedicated to gathering, for the first time, all Latin grammatical texts which are preserved exclusively in fragmentary form. Our primary purpose is to compile a complete list of the authors of such texts, be they grammarians, teachers, erudites or any other author who may have written works on grammar, regardless of their position in society or their literary activity. These authors have been frequently quoted by late Latin grammarians and their ideas contributed to the evolution of ancient linguistic thought. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in this field, but a complete corpus is not available and modern editors are confronted with the daunting task of locating the quotes within texts, delimitating them and only then analysing them.

Readers can access relevant information on these fragmentary texts, including grammarians’ lives and works as well as an overview of each of these authors’ thought. As for the fragments themselves, they will be available in a new book edition in the near future, published by the FLG group. In the meantime, readers will be able to consult existing editions through the links provided here, in particular G. Funaioli’s (GRFF: Grammaticae Romanae Fragmenta, Leipzig1907), which covers the period from the beginning to the end of the Republic. A. Mazzarino’s edition (GRFM: Grammaticae Romanae Fragmenta aetatis Caesareae, Turin1955), which deals with the beginning of the imperial period, is not available on the internet. However, whenever possible, we provide alternative editions, like we do for the authors of the late imperial period, where no editions exist.

Protrepticus: A Reconstruction of Aristotle's Lost Dialogue
by D. S. Huchinson and Monte Ransome Johnson

http://www.protrepticus.info/Resources/tanbgrd.gif 
The Protrepticus was an early work of Aristotle, written while he was still a member of Plato's Academy, but it soon became one of the most famous works in the whole history of philosophy. Unfortunately it was not directly copied in the middle ages and so did not survive in its own manuscript tradition. But substantial fragments of it have been preserved in several works by Iamblichus of Chalcis, a third century A.D. neo-Pythagorean philosopher and educator. On the basis of a close study of Iamblichus' extensive use and excerption of Aristotle's Protrepticus, it is possible to reconstruct the backbone of the lost work, and then to flesh it out with the other surviving reports about the work from antiquity (for example in Alexander of Aphrodisias and other ancient commentators on Aristotle). It is also possible to identify several papyrus fragments of the work, and many references and literary allusions in later authors, especially Cicero, whose own lost dialogue Hortensius was a defense of philosophy modeleld on Aristotle's. 

In 2003, we began a project to reconstruct the lost work by reevaluating all the possible sources of evidence for it. We post regular updates about the project on our blog, where you can access a quick introduction to the project. A good place to start is with the latest version of the provisional reconstruction. If you have been assigned to read Aristotle's Protrepticus in a course, this is probably what you are looking for.
 
For those looking for more detail about our methods of reconstruction and the basis of evidence, you will find on this website our working files on a new critical Greek edition, translation, commentary, and reconstruction of Aristotle's Protrepticus. From the table of contents page, you will be able to access drafts of various parts of the book. From the evidence page, you may find links to critical editions, along with translations and commentaries on the ancient evidence.

From the essays page you may access our 'Authenticating Aristotle's Protrepticus', published in Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy (2005). For those wanting to learn more about the philosophical context of Aristotle's Protrepticus, you may be interested in the unpublished essays 'The Antidosis of Iamblichus and Aristotle's Protrepticus' and 'Protreptic Aspects of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics'.
