The Topographical Bibliography of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic Texts, Statues, Reliefs and Paintings now has eight published volumes (volumes i and iii in two parts, while volume viii will eventually consist of at least six parts). These list ancient Egyptian monuments still in situ, those found in controlled excavations or those for which the original location can be established with certainty, and now also monuments the provenance of which is not known.

The first seven volumes cover the whole of Egypt and areas outside Egypt; the eighth includes monuments of provenance not known. The first three volumes have been revised and issued in a second edition. All volumes are in print.

* Volume VII. Nubia, The Deserts, and Outside Egypt. (1st ed.) 1995, unchanged reprint of the 1952 edition in hard cover and reduced format. ISBN 0900416 041.

The first two parts of the eighth volume were published in the Spring of 2000.

The Journal of Roman Studies is now available in JSTOR

The Journal of Roman Studies
ISSN: 0075-4358
JSTOR Coverage: 1911-2005 (Vols. 1-95)
Moving Wall: 3 years
The Journal of Roman Studies publishes papers in the full range of the field which the Roman Society was established to promote, i.e. 'the study of the history, archaeology, literature and art of Italy and the Roman Empire, from the earliest times down to about A.D. 700'. The emphasis is on historical themes, but there are also articles on literary, archaeological and art historical topics, including issues of cultural and intellectual history that cut across these categories. Papers are intended to make a fresh and significant contribution to the understanding of the Roman world and to stimulate further discussion. Articles primarily on the archaeology of Roman Britain are published in the Society's sister journal, Britannia.

The usual month of publication is November. The contents list and abstracts of the most recent volume are available on the Society's web-page, as are the contents of the five preceding volumes.

Open Access Books from The Syriac Studies Reference Library

The Syriac Studies Reference Library
The Syriac Studies Reference Library is a collection of rare and out-of-print titles that are of vital importance for Syriac studies. It is especially rich in early manuscript catalogs, dictionaries, and grammars, and contains many of the indispensable editions of Syriac texts that were produced in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. This collection was scanned from the holdings of the Semitics/ICOR Library of The Catholic University of America. More about the project…

Open Access Books from the Center for the Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts

Center for the Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts
The Center for the Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts is devoted to the recovery, study, preservation, and publication of ancient religious texts. Our primary focus is upon textual research and the development of print and electronic editions and research tools which advance the study of the Bible and its context, early Christianity, and the Christian East. Since 1997 the Center has been involved in research and preservation projects relating to the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Herculaneum papyri, Syriac manuscripts from the Vatican Library, and many other texts and collections. All of these projects are characterized by a successful collaboration between traditional textual scholarship and emerging technologies.

Admin: AWOL by Email

In the righthand side bar is a form allowing you to receive notifications of updates to AWOL by email. This seems useful for those for whom news feeds are not. Your address will be safe. Neither AWOL nor feedburner will send spam. Since I announced this feature in early June, nearly three hundred people have joined the list.

If you are reading this in a newsreader you will have to click through to see the form in the sidebar. If you are reading this by email you have already done what's required. The sofware requires a confirmation of your request to join, and the fact that several have not confirmed makes me suspect that the confirmation requests are being trapped in spam filters. I'll be contacting all those people separately.

Finally. Please use the comment function available on each posting if you have something to say. And if you know of something I should consider including, please let me know (cejo at uchicago dot edu)

Open Access Journal: Museum Helveticum

Museum Helveticum
Seit 1944. Jährlich 4 Hefte. Vol. 66/2009. Publiziert in Verbindung mit der Schweizerischen Vereinigung für Altertumswissenschaft und mit Unterstützung der Schweizerischen Akademie der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften.

Das Museum Helveticum ist die einzige Schweizer Zeitschrift, die Beiträge aus der gesamten klassischen Altertumswissenschaft veröffentlicht, einschliesslich der Papyrologie, Epigraphik und (mit Einschränkungen) Archäologie. Es will nicht nur die Schweizer Forschung fördern und repräsentativ darstellen, sondern auch die Kontakte mit der internationalen. Forschergemeinschaft pflegen und vertiefen. Entsprechend steht die Zeitschrift zum einen den in der Schweiz Lehrenden und Lernenden offen und versteht sich auch als Mittel der Nachwuchsförderung, zum anderen ist sie seit ihren Anfängen auch Publikationsorgan der internationalen Forschergemeinschaft; dementsprechend ist neben den drei Landessprachen Englisch häufige Publikationssprache. Entstanden ist das Museum Helveticum während des Zweiten Weltkrieges aus der Zusammenarbeit einiger damals führender altertumswissenschaftlicher Lehrstuhlinhaber, die, abgeschnitten von den bisherigen europäischen Publikationsorganen, der schweizerischen Altertumswissenschaft ein Diskussionsforum schaffen und gleichzeitig die Zusammengehörigkeit betonen wollten; die erste Nummer erschien 1944. Nach Kriegsende wurde die Zeitschrift zum Organ der schweizerischen altertumswissenschaftlichen Forschung.
