  1. The black row below (ꝑtinet, Graphemic Layer) encodes the graphemes.
  2. The blue row above (pertinet, Alphabetic Layer) encodes the alphabetic letters (alphabemes) represented by those graphemes. In this case, grapheme "ꝑ" (in green) represents the three underlined alphabetic letters "p", "e" and "r".
  3. The black box appearing when the user hovers a word with their mouse (pertinet: [pertineo] Verbal, II conjug, Active indicative, resent, III singular, Linguistic Layer) unambiguously encodes the linguistic word beyond any spelling or graphical differences, through a combination of lemma (pertineo) and morphology (Verbal, II conjug, Active indicative, Present, III singular).

The Archaeology of Egyptian Non-Royal Burial Customs in New Kingdom Egypt and Its Empire

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  27 December 2021
The Archaeology of Egyptian Non-Royal Burial Customs in New Kingdom Egypt and Its Empire
This Element provides a new evaluation of burial customs in New Kingdom Egypt, from about 1550 to 1077 BC, with an emphasis on burials of the wider population. It also covers the regions then under Egyptian control: the Southern Levant and the area of Nubia as far as the Fourth Cataract. The inclusion of foreign countries provides insights not only into the interaction between the centre of the empire and its conquered regions, but also concerning what is typically Egyptian and to what extent the conquered regions were culturally influenced. It can be shown that burials in Lower Nubia closely follow those in Egypt. In the southern Levant, by contrast, cemeteries of the period often yield numerous Egyptian objects, but burial customs in general do not follow those in Egypt.

Rome and the Near Eastern Kingdoms and Principalities, 44-31 BC: A Study of Political Relations During Civil War

Book cover Rome and the Near Eastern Kingdoms and Principalities, 44-31 BC: A Study of Political Relations During Civil War 
The study presents a critical analysis of the political relations between Rome and Near Eastern kingdoms and principalities during the age of civil war from the death of Julius Caesar in 44 to Mark Antony's defeat at Actium in 31 BC. By examining each bilateral relationship separately, it argues that those relations were marked by a large degree of continuity with earlier periods. Circumstances connected to the civil war had only a limited impact on the interstate conduct of the period despite the effects that the strife had on Rome's domestic politics and the res publica. The ever-present rival Parthia and its external policies were more influential in steering the relations between Rome and Near Eastern powers.

Israel Finkelstein is a leading figure in the archaeology and history of Ancient Israel. Over 40 years of work and research, he has helped to change the way archaeology is conducted, the bible is interpreted, and the history of Israel is reconstructed. Matthew J. Adams, Director of the W.F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem, sat down with Israel over several sessions to talk about how a lifetime of work has informed the story of Ancient Israel. These conversations became the series Conversations in the Archaeology and History of Ancient Israel with Israel Finkelstein.

Corrigenda: for a list of corrections to the printed text, click here (pdf-file).

Prosopography: All persons mentioned in the texts of Volume I were listed in an exhaustive database. This database has been incorporated within the Prosopographia Ptolemaica on line, which was in turn incorporated in TM People. By using TM People the individuals in P. Count can be placed in the wider context of Ptolemaic Egypt as a whole. The original database, created in Filemaker Pro 7, is no longer fully compatible with current Filemaker Pro versions (currently - in 2021 - version 19), but data can now be downloaded in csv format (see the download box above). In the compressed zip file, you'll find several csv files, one for each table in the original relational database of all people in P. Count.

Tax households: This is a non-relational database with all the families in P. Count. It was used for the figures and statistics in Volume II, Chapter 7. The entire database is now available in csv format, and can be downloaded with the rest of the P. Count files in the download box above. For the tax households database in particular, there is an explanatory document (pdf-file).

Revue Polymnia
The international network Polymnia, created in 1999 by Jacqueline Fabre-Serris and Françoise Graziani to promote the study of the mythographical tradition in Europe from Antiquity to the 17th Century has developed two types of activities: a programme of conferences in the various partner institutions and the publications of bilingual texts with translations and notes in the series Mythographes (Presses Universitaires du Septentrion).

The journal Polymnia continues the research programme of the network. It offers a space for interdisciplinary and diachronic reflection and debate about mythographical texts in Antiquity, in the Middles Ages, and in the Renaissance.

Le réseau de recherche international Polymnia, créé en 1999 par Jacqueline Fabre-Serris et Françoise Graziani pour promouvoir l’étude de la tradition mythographique de l’Antiquité au 17° siècle, a développé deux sortes d’activités: des colloques entre les universités partenaires et une collection de textes bilingues, la collection « Mythographes », publiée aux Presses Universitaires du Septentrion.

La revue électronique Polymnia poursuit le programme de recherche du réseau. Elle propose un espace de réflexion et de débat, interdisciplinaire et diachronique, spécifiquement consacré aux textes mythographiques de l’Antiquité à la Renaissance.
