[No longer] Open Access Journal: Eikasmos

[Update 1 December 2011 - articles are now available for purchase only]

Eikasmos: Quaderni Bolognesi di Filologia Classica
Fondata da Enzo Degani nel 1990, la rivista «Eikasmós. Quaderni Bolognesi di Filologia Classica» si è sempre caratterizzata per una vocazione squisitamente critico-testuale ed esegetica (la prima sezione di ogni numero è per l'appunto di «Esegesi e critica testuale»), per una rigorosa attenzione alla storia della filologia classica (cui è consacrata la seconda sezione di ogni volume) e per un costante impegno di aggiornamento e valutazione degli studi del settore (alle recensioni e alle segnalazioni bibliografiche sono riservate le ultime due sezioni della rivista).


Founded by Enzo Degani in 1990, the review «Eikasmós. Quaderni Bolognesi di Filologia Classica» is devoted to textual criticism and exegesis (the first section of each issue is dedicated to «Esegesi e critica testuale»), to the history of classical scholarship (the second section of each volume), and to a systematic and up-to-date survey of scholarly works in the fields of classical studies (the two last sections of each issue include reviews and a bibliographical supplement).

Data Bank «Eikasmós»

From this page it is possible to enter the data bank «Eikasmós», yearly updated with the complete tables of contents of the review, an abstract and the full text (as a searchable pdf file) of all the articles and reviews (except those published in the last two issues). It offers several ways of searching and consulting all these data.

Open Access Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae

Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae
[online since 31 October 2004]
Der Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae ist eine Publikationsplattform, die das Akademienvorhaben Altägyptisches Wörterbuch an der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften im Internet zur Verfügung stellt. Im Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae wird ein digitales Corpus von Texten in ägyptischer (auch demotischer) Sprache zur computergestützten Recherche publiziert. Die Lemmatisation und morphosyntaktische Annotation des Textmaterials erlauben die gezielte Recherche unter lexikalischen, philologischen, linguistischen und kulturhistorischen Fragestellungen. Den Texten ist stets eine fortlaufende Übersetzung beigegeben, die insbesondere Nichtspezialisten und Forscher benachbarter Disziplinen bei der Orientierung im Material unterstützen soll.
   Das digitale Textcorpus, das die Substanz dieses Informationssystems repräsentiert, ist in der Kooperation mehrerer Projekte entstanden und wird in dieser Kooperation fortentwickelt. Beteiligt waren und sind das Akademienvorhaben Altägyptisches Wörterbuch mit seinen Arbeitsstellen an der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (Berlin) und der Sächsischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig, das Projekt Demotische Textdatenbank der Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur (Mainz, Arbeitsstelle Würzburg) und das Totenbuchprojekt der Nordrhein-Westfälischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (Bonn). Seit 2005 kooperiert auch das Projekt des Leuven online index of Ptolemaic and Roman Hieroglyphis Texts von der Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Die Kooperationsbeziehungen prägen entscheidend Entstehung und Konzeption dieser Internet-Publikation.
   Das Anliegen des Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae ist es, im Sinne eines virtuellen Wörterbuches ein neues und im Rahmen der Ägyptologie neuartiges Instrument der lexikographischen Erforschung des Ägyptischen verfügbar zu machen. Das Projekt schließt sich damit eng an das Anliegen und die Methode des großen Wörterbuches der ägyptischen Sprache an, das Adolf Erman 1897 an der Preußischen Akademie der Wissenschaften inauguriert und zum Erfolg geführt hat. Als ein Zeichen der Bewunderung für diesen überragenden Forscher auch auf dem Gebiet der ägyptischen Lexikographie wurde daher der Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae erstmals zum 31. Oktober 2004, dem 150. Geburtstag Adolf Ermans, zur allgemeinen Benutzung freigegeben.

Material: In der derzeitigen Version umfaßt der Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae ein digitales Corpus von rund 440.000 Textwörtern. Das entspricht im Umfang mehr als einem Drittel des Textarchivs, auf dem das Wörterbuch der ägyptischen Sprache fußt. Folgende Textgruppen sind vertreten:
  • Texte des Alten Reiches und der Ersten Zwischenzeit (Grabinschriften insbes. der neueren Publikationen von Gräbern in Giza, Saqqara und Achmim; Felsinschriften; Briefe und Briefe an Tote; Akten und Vermerke)
  • Pyramidentexte
  • literarische Texte des Mittleren Reiches (Erzählungen, Dialoge, Lehren)
  • Briefe des Mittleren und des Neuen Reiches
  • das Totenbuch in mehreren Handschriften des Neuen Reiches und der Spätzeit
  • späte Ritualbücher (aus der Ptolemäerzeit)
  • demotische Texte (eine umfassende Auswahl literarischer, religiöser und administrativer Texte).
Funktionen: In der gegenwärtigen Fassung erlaubt der Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae die Suche nach Lemmata anhand der Transkription, der Übersetzung und der bibliographischen Referenz, auch kombiniert und unter Verwendung regulärer Ausdrücke. Zu den Lemmata können die Belegstellen eingesehen, größere Belegkotexte angezeigt und in den vollständigen Texten navigiert werden. Aus der Darstellung der Belegkotexte ist es möglich, alle anderen Wörter in ihren jeweiligen Zusammenhängen nachzuschlagen. Ferner ist es möglich, Angaben zu Herkunft, Datierung, Bibliographie, Textträger usf. einzusehen. Die Einordnung jedes Texts und Objekts in eine an der räumlichen und entstehungsgeschichtlichen Gliederung des Materials orientierte, hierarchische Baumdarstellung erlaubt es weiter, den Kontext eines Texts (etwa in der Dekoration eines Monumentalgrabes) zu erkunden.
Integration des Digitalisierten Zettelarchivs: Über die Lemmaliste des Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae ist auch der Einstieg in die Navigation im Digitalisierten Zettelarchiv möglich. Dadurch wird Belegmaterial für Lexeme, die im bisher digital erschlossenen Corpus noch nicht auftreten, zugänglich. Zudem bietet das Digitalisierte Zettelarchiv umfassende Information zur hieroglyphischen Schreibung der Wörter. Die Navigation im Digitalisierten Zettelarchiv aus dem Kontext des Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae erfolgt ohne den Einsatz von Java-Applets.
Perspektive: Die Publikationsform des Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae im Internet ist dynamisch angelegt. In regelmäßigen Intervallen - mindestens einmal jährlich - wird eine aktualisierte Version publiziert, in der sowohl der Umfang des digitalen Textcorpus wie die Zahl und Leistungsfähigkeit der zur Recherche und Navigation verfügbaren Funktionen wachsen werden. Im Bereich der Funktionen wird in Bälde die direkte Suche nach Texten und die Suche nach Wortkombinationen zur Verfügung gestellt werden.
Nutzungsbedingungen: Zur Nutzung des Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae ist eine Registration erforderlich. Die Nutzung ist kostenfrei. Bei der Nutzung sind die gültigen Copyright-Bestimmungen zu beachten. Hinweise zur Zitation des Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae sind in der Hilfe-Dokumentation enthalten.
A free tool, the Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae requires registration.  Upon registration/login users are directed to:

    Visible Language: Inventions of Writing in the Ancient Middle East and Beyond 
    Edited by Christopher Woods
    OIMP 32




    Writing, the ability to make language visible and permanent, is one of humanities' greatest inventions. This book presents current perspectives on the origins and development of writing in Mesopotamia and Egypt, providing an overview of each writing system and its uses. Essays on writing in China and Mesoamerica complete coverage of the four "pristine" writing systems — inventions of writing in which there was no previous exposure to texts. The authors explore what writing is, and is not, and sections of the text are devoted to Anatolian hieroglyphs of Anatolia, and to the development of the alphabet in the Sinai Peninsula in the second millennium BC and its spread to Phoenicia where it spawned the Greek and Latin alphabets. This richly illustrated volume, issued in conjunction with an exhibit at the Oriental Institute, provides a current perspective on, and appreciation of, an invention that changed the course of history.

    The British Library Digitised Manuscripts

    The British Library Digitised Manuscripts launched today.
    Today we launch our Digitised Manuscripts site, which features full coverage of 284 Greek manuscripts drawn from our Additional and Harley manuscript collections. The manuscripts, dating from the sixth to the 18th centuries, encompass a wide range of literary, historical, biblical, liturgical and scientific texts. Some of the manuscripts are beautifully illuminated, including an artistic highlight of the collection, the Theodore Psalter (Add. MS 19352).


    Add_ms_19352_f190r

    The Theodore Psalter, Add. MS 19352, f. 190r
    This 18-month project, funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, is a pilot for our wider plans to digitise the medieval and earlier manuscript collections. We will be enhancing the functionality of the site and adding more content - both Greek and Latin manuscripts - over the next 18 months.

    Open Access Ancient Law Journals

    These are the open access eJournals focused on ancient law of which I am aware.  Are there others?  Please let me know.

    Open Access Journal: Byblos: Revista de Historiografía Histórico-Jurídica

    Byblos: Revista de Historiografía Histórico-Jurídica
    ISSN 1885-3129
    La Revista Virtual Byblos nace de la dificultad planteada en los últimos años de estar al tanto de la ingente producción bibliográfica que en los campos histórico e histórico-jurídico se ha generado. En los países anglosajones, donde el desarrollo de los recursos en red está más avanzado, hace tiempo que algunas universidades, aprovechando la extensión de las listas de distribución de correo, han creado páginas web donde el staff universitario y los miembros de dichas listas cuelgan periódicamente reseñas y, sobre todo, recensiones críticas de los trabajos leídos por todos ellos, de modo que, mediante este procedimiento, se consigue que el trabajo de lectura de todos enriquezca a gran número de personas, que se evitan la penosa tarea de leer gran cantidad de estudios.

    Catalogue of Paraliterary Papyri

    Catalogue of Paraliterary Papyri
    Professor Marc Huys and Collaborators
    The CPP is an electronic catalogue of paraliterary papyri based on a Filemaker Pro database and implemented for the internet with php-programming. It contains descriptions of Greek papyri and other written materials which, because of their paraliterary character, cannot be found in the standard electronic corpora of literary and documentary papyri, the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG) and the Duke Data Bank of Documentary Papyri (DDBDP), so that they cannot be easily consulted or searched by non specialists. Generally, these texts have been published in scattered editions and, because of their diversity, have never been brought together in one collection. With the CPP project we want to fill this gap by making all the source materials easily accessible. This includes also a digital version of full text editions of the paraliterary fragments, both in plain beta code and in Unicode. The texts in beta code are simple transcriptions without any accentuation or diacritical signs, designed only to allow for easy searching. They are inserted into the CPP database as a separate field. The Unicode versions, on the contrary, are being presented as documents made accessible out of the CPP by a link. All Greek texts have been encoded with XML according to the TEI-guidelines and by an automatic conversion program they are now systematically being translated in the HTML-files displayed online. Although the CPP collection does not have the ambition to produce new scholarly editions, the texts are never simple reproductions of one particular edition but they are based on our own representation of the most recent edition or simply of the one we considered the best, and of the comparison with other editions. For the purposes of specialised research consultation of the printed editions remains necessary. In addition the CPP contains some unpublished material, but generally, less detailed information is available for these items, depending on the policy of the owning institution. The Search System has been designed so as to make possible many different types of complex searches, of which the Search Page presents some predetermined selections.

    News from the Centre for Computer-aided Egyptological Research

    Centre for Computer-aided Egyptological Research

    The CCER is circulating this announcement:
    Dear colleagues and friends of the CCER.


    The team of the Centre of Computer-aided Egyptological Research (CCER, Utrecht University) has developed pioneering and useful computing tools and international projects for Egyptological research since 1990 (among other things Manual de Codage, Multilingual Egyptological Thesaurus, Glyph for Windows & Extended Library, Coffin Texts Word Index, Egyptian Treasures in Europe, Global Egyptian Museum). The CCER was the driving force of the group Informatique & Egyptologie and the Horssen Meetings. CCER inspired Egyptological scholars, students and institutions to make use of these upcoming new ICT tools and helped them to implement them.


    Now 20 years after the founding of CCER it is time to accept that CCER has become part of history and that the well-known CCER site must switch to another life and a new concept. Some years ago it appeared that there was no future for CCER in the Netherlands. Besides its director retired. Therefore I have decided to stop finally also the shop of the site www.ccer.nl by the end of this year. I"ll transmit by then the site and all rights to my former assistant Hans van den Berg. He was my gifted and much appreciated "life-ware" and "soft-hand" during many years. He would like to use this site to record the history of Computing & Egyptology. He will continue and maintain some useful tools for Egyptology on this site as well.


    Until the end of this year there will be a sale with reduced prices of all available products of the former CCER (Glyph for Windows, Hieroglyphica, Coffin Texts Word Index etc.).


    Glyph for Windows is a 16-bit program and will not run with 64-bit (x64) operating systems. Because there will be no upgrade of the 16-bit version of Glyph and the extended library, I advise all of you to keep a PC with Windows XP, 32-bit Windows Vista or 32-bit Windows 7 to run specially Glyph for Windows in order to be able to process your hieroglyphic texts. The last version of Glyph for Windows Professional edition (including the extended library) which is compatible with aforementioned operating systems can be ordered for only Euro 100 (including Hieroglyphica).


    I would like to thank all colleagues, assistants and friends for the collaboration and confidence during those pioneering years,


    Dirk van der Plas

    Digital Collections at the University of Michigan Libraries

    The University of Michigan Digital Library Production Service (DLPS) Digital Collections has a new and improved list of collections. This allows for much easier access to the resources they serve. Among those relating to antiquity are the following (most are open access):

    The Bulletin of the University of Michigan Museums of Art and Archaeology features scholarly articles related to subjects of interest to both UMMA and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, particularly their collections, exhibitions, and fieldwork programs. Written principally by graduate students, faculty, and curators affiliated with the museums and the Department of the History of Art at the University of Michigan, the Bulletin is peer reviewed and distributed internationally. Each volume includes accessions lists as well as several short essays on recent acquisitions or significant holdings. This collection contains volume 15 through the present. This collection contains volume 1 through 14.

    The Egyptian Amulet catalog is a collaborative project between the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, and the University of Michigan's Digital Library Production Service. Initally developed on a fairly small scale (roughly 360 items), the catalog's purpose was to demonstrate the feasibility and value of transfering the Kelsey catalog of artifacts from a proprietary database system to an SGML-based system providing ubiquitous web access.
    This collection contains an online version of the catalog of objects from the ancient world (coins, textiles, pottery, sculpture, etc.) that are held by the University of Michigan's Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It includes descriptions of over 98,000 objects and fine art photographs. The database is being expanded to include images of many of the artifacts.
    This database is a subset of the online version of the catalog of objects that are held by the University of Michigan's Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It contains over 5,000 descriptions of textiles and over 3,000 images of textile artifacts

    The Advanced Papyrological Information System (APIS) is a collections-based repository hosting information about and images of papyrological materials (e.g., papyri, ostraca, wood tablets, etc.) located in collections around the world. It contains physical descriptions and bibliographic information about the papyri and other written materials, as well as digital images and English translations of many of these texts. When possible, links are also provided to the original language texts (e.g., through the Duke Data Bank of Documentary Papyri). The user can move back and forth among text, translation, bibliography, description, and image. With the specially-developed APIS Search System many different types of complex searches can be carried out. APIS includes both published and unpublished material.
    The Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists (BASP) has been the official journal of the American Society of Papyrologists since its first publication and is devoted to papyrology and related disciplines. This database makes all issues of BASP available electronically, except the two most recent issues.

    The Papyrology Room book collection consists of several thousand volumes of text editions, monographs and journals that deal with ancient and Graeco-Roman Egypt. The majority of the books in the Papyrology Rooms are shelved according to LC call number. However, editions of papyri, ostraca, etc., are listed according to a standard acronym as listed in John F. Oates, et al., (eds.), "Checklist of Editions of Greek, Latin, Demotic, and Coptic Papyri, Ostraca, and Tablets" (Oakville, Conn., 2001).
    The Patrologia Latina Database is the full-text electronic version of the Patrologia Latina by Jacques-Paul Migne (1844-1855 and 1862-1865), including all prefatory material, original texts, critical apparatus, indexes and illustrations. It contains 221 volumes of early Christian (patristic) writings in their original Latin.
