News from the CDLI: Fondation Martin Bodmer cuneiform collection

Fondation Martin Bodmer cuneiform collection in CDLI

The Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI), in partnership with the Fondation MartinBodmer, Cologny, Switzerland (Bodmer Museum, ), is pleased to announce the addition of new digital content to its web offerings. 

Though modest in numbers, the twenty-six select cuneiform artifacts in the Bodmer Museum in fact cover a very broad swath of Babylonian history, ranging from five proto-cuneiform tablets from the late 4th millennium BC, through Early Dynastic royal and legal inscriptions (ca. 2800-2400 BC), an Old Akkadian votive stone vase dedicated to the divinized Naram-Sin (ca. 2300 BC), a group of eight Ur III accounts (ca. 2050 BC), two 2nd millennium administrative and royal inscriptions, down to a barrel text of the great neo-Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II (600 BC). 

Facilitated by the kind assistance of University of Geneva graduate student Émilie Pagé-Perron, one of us (Vacin) was able to scan the artifacts as part of a digitization mission to the Musées d’art et d’histoire Genève (currently in preparation for web release), and the results of the Bodmer effort have now been added to CDLI pages and are viewable through a dedicated Bodmer web page. 

The Ur III account FMB 39.2 is assigned to University of Geneva graduate student Emmert Clevenstine. The majority of the remaining artifacts, including seven further Ur III texts, appear to be unpublished, and we welcome publication references, or notices of interest in publishing these texts by specialists, sent to us directly or the CDLI. 

The imaging at Cologny and post-capture processing at UCLA were made possible by funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; they are part of the on-going mission of CDLI to ensure the long-term digital preservation of ancient inscriptions on cuneiform tablets, and, in furtherance of humanities research, to provide free global access to all available text artifact data.

Online Exhibition: Nicholas V. Artamonoff Collection

Nicholas V. Artamonoff Collection

The Nicholas V. Artamonoff Collection includes 543 photographs taken in Istanbul and five archaeological sites in Western Turkey (Ephesus, Hierapolis, Laodicea on the Lycus, Pergamum, Priene) from 1935 to 1945. The high quality photographs are of great value as they show buildings, sites, and objects that no longer exist or are in a better state of preservation than today. As Ernst Kitzinger (a former director of Dumbarton Oaks) informed Artamonoff himself in a letter of December 13, 1962, the collection has “great documentary value […] because of the subsequent vicissitudes that have befallen some of the monuments concerned."

The Image Collections and Fieldwork Archives (ICFA) of Dumbarton Oaks holds the original negatives of these photographs. They were acquired on July 11, 1962, through the support of Robert Van Nice, a Research Associate at Dumbarton Oaks who had worked in Istanbul conducting a large scale survey of the architecture of Hagia Sophia. Since coming to Dumbarton Oaks, Artamonoff’s photographs have been used in publications and research by many distinguished scholars...

About the 3D Models The 3D models provided for each artifact are available for download in three formats: VRML, 3D PDF, and OBJ. The models provided for the OBJ format are available in original quality or "high resolution" as well as reduced quality or "low-resolution." The models provided for the VRML and 3D PDF formats are only available in low-resolution only. The file size of the high resolution models ranges from 50-100mb and is determined largely by the artifact size and original scan resolution. It is not uncommon for some of the larger, more detailed vessels to have more than 1,000,000 triangles in the original model. The original, high resolution models are provided to facilitate detailed metric analysis using one of the free data viewers suggested below.

The file size for the reduced quality or "low resolution" models ranges from 2-5mb. Most of the low resolution models have been reduced to ~25,000 triangles unless the original high resolution model contained less than 25,000 triangles in which case the low resolution model was reduced to half the original model size. The low resolution models were created to facilitate a 'quick view' of each artifact and are provided for visualization purposes.

VRML Format and Free VRML Viewers VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is a standard format for representing 3D models. VRML is a text-based format and was designed largely for the display of 3D graphics on the web. In fact, most VRML viewers including the ones listed here interface directly with your web browser (although stand alone applications are available)...

New Book from the Oriental Institute: Perspectives on Ptolemaic Thebes

Announced today:

SAOC 65.

Perspectives on Ptolemaic Thebes
Occasional Proceedings of the Theban Workshop.

Peter F. Dorman and Betsy M. Bryan, eds.

Purchase Book Download PDF Terms of Use

The manuscript consists of seven papers presented at the Theban Workshop, 2006. Within the temporal and spatial boundaries indicated by the title, the subjects of the papers are extremely diverse, ranging from models of culture-history (Manning and Moyer), to studies of specific administrative offices (Arlt), a single statue type (Albersmeier), inscriptions in a single temple (DiCerbo/Jasnow, and McClain), and inscriptions of a single king (Ritner). Nonetheless, all the papers are significant contributions to scholarship, presenting new interpretations and conclusions. Two papers (DiCerbo/Jasnow and McClain) are useful preliminary reports on long-term projects. The cross-references in Arlt and Albersmeier’s and in Manning’s and Moyer’s papers attest to value added by presentation at the workshop.

ARCHIBAB Updated

ACHIBAB has been Updated:  Seals/SCEAUX, Year-Names/NOMS D'ANNEES, Bibliography/BIBLIOGRAPHIE, Texts/TEXTES

ARCHIBAB: New queries, More data!

Since December 19, 2011, the site ARCHIBAB (<http://www.archibab.fr>)
has entered the third phase in its development.

New queries:
SEALS.
-It is now possible to research the inscription of seals rolled on
printed texts: “Seal of .../ son of …/servant of ...”
(etc.). A search by character string is also available.
-One may obtain all listings as well as a transcript for each seal as
it appears in the corpus, sorted by date or by reference.
-Other validations (uninscribed seal, sissiktum and finger-nail
impressions) as well as any marginal notices by scribes are also taken
into account and may also be subjected to a search.

YEAR-NAMES.
-It is now possible to search year-names in the database: by dynasty,
by ruler, and (eventually) by year.
-The database permits access to all texts with year-names or eponyms,
arranged chronologically and by the entry used in each tablet.
-For the time being, only Mari year-names are completely treated in
that way; for other dynasties, the work is in progress.

- Improved searching by strings. From now on, for any search on a
string of letters, it is possible to use accented (diactrics) letters
(e ≠ é ≠ è, s ≠ ṣ ≠ š, etc.). If necessary, however, this feature can
be turned off. Come Spring 2012, it will be possible also to search by
names (personal,divine or place) as well as by specific noun. The
automatic indexing that makes this step possible is already
functional.

More data:
BIBLIOGRAPHY.
-By keeping the Bibliography up-to-date, it is now possible to
establish that 31,752 Old Babylonian  archival documents are so far
published, including ARM 32, now in press.

TEXTS.
-More than 6,000 texts are now cataloged in the database. To have a
complete list, click on the “Texte(s)” tab; under "par
publication,” place an @ at the default selection (“publié(s) dans le
recueil de textes…”). It might take about a minute, but with a good
Internet connection you can get the full list.
-The catalog gives a description of the text, with relevant
bibliographic information, transcription (blue sheets), and
occasionally, a photo and/or copy (in red).

Mari texts have received special attention:
- The complete catalog of published letters from Mari is now available
in full (2,519 letters), many of them in transcription (especially ARM
1, ARM 26/1, FM 2, 7, 8, and 9).
- For some volumes, photos of the texts are also available (currently
about 300 texts): FM 7, 8, 9, 12, and ARM 31.

Additionally there is a complete catalog of texts from Alalah.

More than 2,000 texts are currently in process and will be posted
soon, among them older publications or those in such recently
published volumes as Santag 9, YOS 15, CUSAS 15.

Many thanks are extended to contributors: Boris Alexandrov and Rients
de Boer from the year past. This year’s roster includes Ilya Arkhipov,
Firas Hammoush, Anne-Isabelle Langlois (courtesy of the Collège de
France) and Hervé Reculeau (in collaboration with project HIGEOMES).

Many thanks too to all the colleagues who send us electronic copies of
texts they have published; their efforts save us much  time and
effort.

*******************************************

ARCHIBAB: nouvelles recherches, plus de données !

Depuis le 19 décembre 2011, le site ARCHIBAB (http://www.archibab.fr)
est passé à la phase 3 de son développement.

Nouvelles recherches :

– SCEAUX. On peut désormais faire des recherches sur les légendes des
sceaux imprimés sur les textes : sceau de …, fils de …, serviteur de
…, etc. Une recherche sur chaîne de caractères est en outre
disponible. On obtient pour chaque sceau la liste et la transcription
de toutes les empreintes présentes sur les textes de la base, triées
par date ou par référence. Les autres marques de validation (sceaux
anépigraphes, marques de sissiktum ou d'ongle) accompagnées d'une
mention par le scribe en marge du texte sont aussi prises en compte et
peuvent faire l'objet d'une recherche particulière.

– NOMS D'ANNEES. On peut désormais faire des recherches sur les noms
d'années des textes de la base : par dynastie, par roi et
éventuellement par année. La base donne la liste de tous les textes
portant un nom d'année (ou celui d'un éponyme), en ordre chronologique
et avec éventuellement le libellé tel qu'il figure sur chaque
tablette. (Ne sont actuellement intégralement accessibles de cette
manière que les données des textes de Mari ; le corpus des noms
d'années pris en compte sera bientôt étendu).

– Amélioration des recherches par chaînes de caractères. Désormais,
pour toute recherche sur une chaîne de caractères, une recherche
diacritée stricte est possible (e ≠ é ≠ è, s ≠ ṣ ≠ š etc.) ; en cas de
besoin, on peut la désactiver.

Au printemps 2012, une recherche sur les noms propres et le
vocabulaire sera possible, grâce à un système d'indexation automatique
désormais au point.

Plus de données :

– BIBLIOGRAPHIE. La bibliographie étant constamment tenue à jour, le
bilan des publications permet de donner le total des textes d'archives
paléo-babyloniens intégralement publiés : 31.752 (y compris ARM 32,
actuellement sous presse).

– TEXTES. Plus de 6.000 textes sont désormais catalogués dans la base
(pour avoir la liste complète, dans « Recherche de textes/par
publication », mettre dans la première case un @ : on obtient le
résultat après environ 1 minute, avec une liaison ADSL de bonne
qualité). Le catalogue donne accès à une description du texte, avec,
selon les cas, les données bibliographiques afférentes, sa
transcription (fiches de couleur bleue) et parfois aussi la photo
et/ou la copie (signalé en rouge).

Un effort particulier a été fait pour les textes de Mari :

– le catalogue complet des lettres de Mari intégralement publiées est
désormais disponible (2.519 lettres) et beaucoup d'entre elles sont
déjà disponibles en transcription (notamment ARM 1, ARM 26/1 ; FM 2,
7, 8, 9).

– pour certains volumes, les photos des textes sont également
disponibles (actuellement, près de 300 textes) : FM 7, 8, 9, 12 ; ARM
31.

On dispose aussi du catalogue complet des textes d'Alalah.

De nombreux autres textes (plus de 2.000) sont actuellement en phase
de vérification et seront postés prochainement (recueils anciens, ou
publications récentes comme Santag 9, YOS 15, CUSAS 15, etc.).

Un grand merci aux collaborateurs du projet : l'an passé Boris
Alexandrov et Rients de Boer, cette année Ilya Arkhipov, Firas
Hammoush, Anne-Isabelle Langlois (grâce au Collège de France) et Hervé
Reculeau (collaboration avec le projet HIGEOMES).

Un grand merci également aux collègues qui nous envoient les fichiers
des textes qu'ils ont publiés : cela nous fait gagner un temps
précieux.
