Open Access Journal: Electronic Journal of Mithraic Studies

Electronic Journal of Mithraic Studies
The Electronic Journal of Mithraic Studies (EJMS) is a revival of the Journal of Mithraic Studies edited by Dr. Richard Gordon. It is a place where researchers on Roman Mithraism can publish the product of their research and make it freely available for other interested people. The journal concerns all aspects of the mysteries of Mithras, including history, archaeology, theology, sociology, others. Its span includes related religions and cults such as Persian Zoroastrianism and other cults in the Roman Empire. The EJMS is based at the University of Huelva, Spain, and is managed by an Editorial Board composed of scholars of Mithraism and Roman Religion with international projection. A more complete description is included in our formal baseline document.

The material published in the EJMS includes papers and archaeological reports. Accepted languages are English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Dutch and Flemish. The EJMS follows an "open yearly volumes" approach suitable for Internet publication which consists on gradually building its volumes during the year, while keeping currently collected material accessible all the time. The EJMS has now opened Volume I for the year 2000 and asks for your participation.

Submitted material is subject to referee by the Editorial Board or external reviewers appointed by th Editorial Board. Electronic submission can be performed by sending the documents as email attachments to antonio.grilo@inov.pt. The first page of the document should include the title of the work, complete name of the authors, their affiliation, name of contact author and respective email address. Submitted papers should preferably be Word 97 or compatible documents conforming to the parameters defined in the EJMS stylesheet.

Paulys Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft
At Wikisource
Paulys Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft (RE) ist eine umfangreiche Enzyklopädie zum Altertum, die ab 1890 von Georg Wissowa (1859–1931) herausgegeben wurde und erst 1980 abgeschlossen wurde. Sie führte die von August Friedrich Pauly (1796–1845) begründete Real-Encyclopädie der classischen Alterthumswissenschaft in alphabetischer Ordnung (1837–1864) fort und war als komplette Neubearbeitung konzipiert.

Dumbarton Oaks Hagiography Database

Dumbarton Oaks Hagiography Database
Hagiography was one of the most important genres of Byzantine literature, both in terms of quantity of written material and the wide audience that read or listened to these texts. The Dumbarton Oaks Hagiography Database Project is designed to provide Byzantinists and other medievalists with new opportunities of access to this important and underutilized corpus of Greek texts. Included in the database is information from the Greek vitae and martyria of one hundred and nineteen saints of the 8th-10th c., accounts of the translations of their relics, and collections of miracles, as well as notices from the Synaxarion of Constantinople (a 10th-century liturgical collection of brief hagiographical notices). The project provides a subject index (the database proper) on many aspects of Byzantine civilization, from everyday life to liturgical vessels to toponyms...

Open Access Database: Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture Known in the Renaissance

Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture Known in the Renaissance
census logo Der Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture Known in the Renaissance ist eine interdisziplinäre Forschungsdatenbank, die einem zentralen Problemfeld der Renaissanceforschung, der Antikenrezeption, gewidmet ist.
Erfasst werden die in der Renaissance bekannten antiken Monumente mit den zugehörigen bildlichen und schriftlichen Renaissancedokumenten und Orts-, Personen- und Zeitangaben sowie Abbildungen und bibliographischen Daten.
Als Forschungsinstrument richtet sich der Census nicht nur an die Fächer Kunstgeschichte und Archäologie, sondern an alle am Nachleben der Antike interessierten Disziplinen.

Open Access Journal: Pegasus

Pegasus - Berliner Beiträge zum Nachleben der Antike
ISSN 1436-3461
Pegasus 8 Einmal im Jahr erscheint das mehrsprachige Periodikum des Census -  der Pegasus. Er versteht sich grundsätzlich als Diskussionsforum für alle mit antiken Traditionen befassten Disziplinen. Anders als die Datenbank des Census setzt er keine zeitlichen  Begrenzungen, sondern öffnet den Blick auf alle nachantiken Epochen. Neben Untersuchungen, die dem breiten Spektrum der Antikentradition gewidmet sind, werden hier Ergebnisse präsentiert, die unmittelbar der Arbeit mit der Datenbank entstammen. So zeigt sich im Pegasus die Präsenz der antiken Bilderwelt wie sie uns –  gefiltert durch den Blick früherer Epochen – auch heute noch gegenwärtig ist.

Seit 2010 werden die Pegasus-Hefte, deren Erscheinen mindestens fünf Jahre zurückliegt, als PDF-Dokumente auf dem edoc-Server der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften bereitgestellt.

(Partially) Open Access Journal: Revue d'assyriologie et d'archéologie orientale

[First posted 8/23/09, updated 12/23/10] 

Revue d'assyriologie et d'archéologie orientale
La Revue d'assyriologie et d'archéologie orientale est l'héritière d'une longue tradition, puisqu'elle a vu le jour en 1884 (une esquisse de son histoire a été publiée dans le n°100, 2006, p. 5-12). Son contenu a évolué sur le fonds comme sur la forme en fonction des besoins de chaque époque. Mais elle est restée fidèle à son but initial: communiquer les résultats de la recherche sur l'histoire et les civilisations du Proche-Orient antique.

Actuellement, elle est publiée en une livraison annuelle de 192 pages. Les contributions y sont essentiellement en français, en anglais et en allemand. Le directeur de la revue est assisté d'un Comité scientifique international de dix membres, compétents dans l'ensemble du domaine couvert par la revue; en cas de besoin, le Comité fait appel à des relecteurs extérieurs.

    News from CDLI: Arizona State Museum cuneiform collection in CDLI

    Arizona State Museum cuneiform collection in CDLI 
    The Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative, in partnership with the Arizona State Museum (ASM) in Tucson, Arizona--established in 1893 by the Arizona Territorial Legislature, the ASM  is the oldest and largest anthropology museum in the American Southwest--is pleased to announce the addition of new digital content to its web offerings. 
     
    In early December of this year, UCLA staff member Jared Wolfe scanned 117 ASM tablets, and further processed the tablet surface images according to CDLI's "fat-cross" standards. The majority of the text artifacts in the collection were published in hand copy and transliteration by David I. Owen & Ewa Wasilewska ten years ago (JCS 52, 7-53); earlier publications are, with this effort, complemented with an additional 20 heretofore unpublished texts. The entire ASM collection can be accessed here. We note that during his stay in Tucson, Mr. Wolfe was kindly given imaging access to the small private collection of Prof. Anne Kilmer; the five texts, published in part by Daniel Foxvog in 1993-1994 (ASJ 15, 79 and JCS 46, 11), may be viewed here.
     
    This imaging and image processing was made possible by funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and is part of the on-going mission of CDLI to ensure the long-term digital preservation of ancient insc-riptions on cuneiform tablets, and, in furtherance of cuneiform research, to provide free global access to all available text artifact data.
