Open Access history of ancient philology, grammar and scholarship

LGGA Lessico dei Grammatici Greci Antichi
Progetto diretto da Franco Montanari, Valter Lapini, Fausto Montana, Lara Pa
Il LESSICO DEI GRAMMATICI GRECI ANTICHI (LGGA) intende fornire uno strumento di consultazione di base online per gli studiosi dell'antichità greco-latina, in particolare per le ricerche sulla storia della filologia, della grammatica e dell'erudizione antiche.


Il contenuto è costituito da schede relative ai personaggi che hanno dato contributi di vario genere alla ricerca erudita e filologico-grammaticale nel mondo antico, ordinati alfabeticamente secondo il nome latino.


Il repertorio comprende ora un totale di 559 personaggi. Le schede vengono progressivamente rese disponibili e scaricabili in formato PDF. Per accedere a questo servizio gratuito è sufficiente registrarsi con il proprio indirizzo di e-mail alla comparsa dell'apposita finestra.


La preparazione dei files pdf comporta un lavoro di rifinitura e completamento delle voci del lessico. Le schede di alcuni dei grammatici più importanti, che richiedono una voce enciclopedica molto ampia e complessa, vengono via via rese disponibili per il download in una versione comprendente la sola bibliografia aggiornata, mentre la trattazione generale e gli eventuali testi saranno aggiunti in un secondo tempo. Questa soluzione è attualmente adottata o prevista per Aelius [2] Herodianus, Apollonius [09] Dyscolus, Aristarchus, Aristophanes, Didymus, Eratosthenes, Galenus, Iulius [2] Pollux, Zenodotus.


A partire da luglio 2007, il Lessico dei Grammatici Greci Antichi ha adottato una politica di peer review, che prevede di sottoporre ciascuna scheda alla valutazione di almeno due revisori esterni prima che questa sia pubblicata..

The LGGA (Lessico dei Grammatici Greci Antichi) means to provide an online reference tool for scholars of Greek-Latin Antiquity, especially for studies on the history of ancient philology, grammar and scholarship.


The contents consist of files on the personalities who variously contributed to erudite and philological-grammatical research in ancient world, alphabetically ordered by Latin name.


The catalogue includes now a total of 559 grammarians. Files are made available progressively, as soon as work on a file is completed and can be downloaded in pdf format. To access this free service you have just to sign in with your e-mail address when the relevant window appears.


The preparation of the pdf files entails a polishing and completion work on the entries of the lexicon. The files concerning some particularly important grammarians, that call for a more extended and complex encyclopedic entry, are made available for download as they are filled in just with the updated bibliography, while the general discussion and possible texts will be added on in a second time. This handling has been chosen for Aelius [2] Herodianus, Apollonius [09] Dyscolus, Aristarchus, Aristophanes, Didymus, Eratosthenes, Galenus, Iulius [2] Pollux, Zenodotus.


From July 2007 the Lessico dei Grammatici Greci Antichi has adopted a peer review policy, which consists in submitting each entry to at least two external reviewers before publication.

Open Access Old Assyrian Texts

Altassyrische Texte
Karl Hecker
... Die Eingabe des Kültepe-Materials erfolgte dann eigentlich nie kontinuierlich und systematisch, sondern mußte wegen anderer Aufgaben immer wieder für kürzere oder längere Zeit unterbrochen werden. Daraus resultierten zahlreiche Inkonsequenzen und Diskrepanzen, z.B. in der Umschrift anatolischer Orts- und Personennamen, aber auch zahlreiche Unvollständigkeiten vor allem bei der aufgenommenen und ausgewerteten Sekundärliteratur. Dieses Manko wird erst jetzt, wo meine Files im Rahmen des Hethiter-Portals veröffentlicht werden sollen, bedeutsam und kann möglicherweise auch nie vollständig beseitigt werden. Wenn ich meine Files jetzt trotz dieser und vielleicht anderer, mir noch nicht aufgegangener Mängel publik mache, dann zum einen, weil ich dem Angebot der Kollegen G. Wilhelm und G.G.W. Müller, das Hethiter-Portal der Mainzer Akademie als Bereitstellungsforum zu nutzen, nicht widerstehen konnte, und zum anderen, weil meine in der letzten Zeit stark nachlassende Sehkraft die Fähigkeit zur Computer-Arbeit stark einschränkt und ich daher befürchten muß, daß meine Daten unbenutzt und damit wertlos werden. In dem hier gegebenen Rahmen aber mögen sie dem einen oder anderen doch noch von einigem Nutzen sein.

Natürlich soll in der nächsten Zeit das hier vorgestellte Material vervollständigt und darin enthaltene Fehler beseitigt werden. Verbesserungsvorschläge -sowohl zu Fehlendem als auch zu Lesungen- werden selbstverständlich und dankbar entgegengenommen (Anschrift am Schluß); ich fürchte, daß deren Zahl zumindest anfangs beträchtlich sein wird und daß deren Ausführung nicht zuletzt dewegen nicht immer unmittelbar erfolgen kann. Für den geneigten Benutzer ergibt sich daraus allerdings die Notwendigkeit, die einzelnen Files immer wieder aufs neue einzusehen...
