ORACC PDF generator

This tool will let you create PDFs based on selected texts from the ORACC corpora. At the moment it's quite basic, it just loads the text data from the projects individual text JSON files. Some projects have cuneiform signs included, some have normalization, some only have transliteration. Right now the tool is not smart enough to tell you what's available before it generates the PDF.

This tool can be used to create PDFs of texts for classroom use, or personal study and reading. All texts are credited according to the information in the ORACC JSON file. The general workflow is as follows:

Select a corpus to load. This will download and unzip the corpus file from the ORACC Github repository in the background and populate a list of texts from that archive.

Select one or more texts to include in your PDF. It can be useful here to use your webbrowser's find feature (usually Ctrl-F or Command-F) to search for texts. When you've selected the texts you want, scroll to the bottom of the list and hit "Submit".

Select the options for the PDF: page size, and which lines from the text to include (cuneiform, transliteration, normalization). Press "Generate PDF" and wait for the download button to become active.

This tool was created by Willis Monroe, and I'd be grateful for any feedback. Is there a particular corpus or text that breaks the PDF output? Is there an additional needed option? Could the workflow be improved?

Send any issues/queries/improvements my way, either by e-mail, or by using Github's issue tracker.

Celtic personal names of Roman Britain (CPNRB)

A database of the Celtic personal names of Roman Britain (CPNRB)

TS 9 (p. 120) which contains such Celtic names as Cunomoltus and Senovara (we are grateful to Roger Tomlin for permission to repoduce this image).

This database collects all the personal names from Roman Britain which are thought to contain Celtic elements. While personal names from Gaul have received considerable attention over the years in works such as GPN and KGP, the huge increase in the number of names (from the finds in Bath and Vindolanda, together with the publication of RIB II) now makes it imperative that the data is available in a easily searchable format. It is hoped that this database will offer a useful and flexible tool by which the information provided by personal names from Roman Britain can be integrated into the scholarship both of Roman Britain and of name-studies more generally (for a discussion based on the epigraphic data published up to and including 2005, see Mullen 2007a). If funding were available, this database might be a prototype for a much-needed database of all personal names attested from Roman Britain.

The data can be searched and sorted under a number of headings, such as name forms, gender, date, location of find, type of source, etc.; for details, see Further Information.
The database began as a collection of Celtic personal names from Roman Britain created by Paul Russell which was then updated and revised by Alex Mullen. The material has been converted into a database by Pádraic Moran. We are grateful to Jen Pollard for agreeing to host the database on the website of the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic in the University of Cambridge.

This project has received generous financial support from the John Chadwick Greek and Latin Research Fund of the Classics Faculty in the University of Cambridge and from the Legonna Celtic Research Prize organized by the Council of the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth (won by Paul Russell in 2003). We are immensely grateful to both.

One Off Journal Issues: The Contribution of Mineralogy to Cultural Heritage

The Contribution of Mineralogy to Cultural Heritage
(G. Artioli and R. Oberti, editors)
EMU Notes in Mineralogy Volume 20 (2019)

ISBN: 978-0903056-61-8
The chapters contributed to the volume recognize the important and diverse contributions of mineralogy to the valorization, characterization, interpretation and conservation of cultural heritage. The book focuses on examples of materials and methodological issues rather than technical/analytical details. We have attempted to deal with the cultural heritage materials in chronological order of their technological developments, to relate them to past human activities, and to highlight unresolved problems in need of investigation.
