Open Access Journal: Rivista di Diritto Ellenico

 [First posted in AWOL 19 July 2010. Updated 26 Dec 2017]

Rivista di Diritto Ellenico - Review of Hellenic Law
La «Rivista di Diritto Ellenico» si propone di costituire uno strumento agile e immediato per consentire la pubblicazione di contributi caratterizzati da un taglio peculiarmente giuridico, senza tuttavia tralasciare l’aspetto più antichistico, nella fattispecie storico, culturale e antropologico. In questo senso, la «Rivista di Diritto Ellenico» si vuole caratterizzare anche come pubblicazione, con cadenza annuale, di materiali concernenti le antichità classiche, definizione solo apparentemente generale per la cosiddetta «giusgrecistica» in Italia, ove il tratto saliente della «grecità» non dovrà intendersi come un limite a volere circoscrivere il panorama degli studi: l’aspetto idiomatico, forse più di ogni altro, è parte insostituibile del concetto di Hellenikon già a partire dal V secolo a.C. e il greco antico conosce una tradizione ininterrotta fino al I millennio d.C. coronata dalle sillogi dei commentatori che riflettono proprio su istituzioni, usi e costumi dell’età classica. Accanto a contributi inediti in questo settore, la cui pubblicazione potrà avere luogo in italiano, inglese, francese, tedesco, olandese, spagnolo e greco moderno, la «Rivista di Diritto Ellenico» si propone anche un obiettivo «dottrinario»: offrire al suo interno le ristampe di saggi di riconosciuto valore scientifico risalenti, in particolare maniera, ai due ultimi secoli trascorsi, in originale o anche in traduzione italiana, anche per venire incontro alle esigenze di reperibilità, spesso tutt’oggi ancora difficoltosa.

Synallagma: Greek Contracts in Context [formerly titled: "Greek Law in Roman Times"]

[First posted in AWOL 12 December 2013, updated 9 November 2017]

Synallagma: Greek Contracts in Context [formerly titled: "Greek Law in Roman Times"]
Created by: Dr. Uri Yiftach Department of Classics, Hebrew University

Welcome to “Greek Law in Roman Times”. This computerized Databank provides electronic access to some 6000 legal documents from Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine times, mostly from Egypt.
These documents and their classifications provide invaluable information concerning the development of law and legal practices from the Ptolemaic to Byzantine period. It also provides information about social and economic issues, such as the value of land in ancient society, the extent of economic independence of women, the circulation of cash-money, how the parties’ age affected the nature and scope of their economic activity etc. GLRT enables users to pinpoint correlations between the various recorded factors. Thus it provides a critical and heretofore-absent tool that enables scholars to discern patterns among the wealth of documents.
The databank classifies each document by its date and provenance, structure, language and other details regarding the parties to the contract and the content of the transaction. The databank contains a link to the text as it appears in the “Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri” as well as to the “Heidelberger Gesamtverzeichnis”. The DDBDP text can be viewed in a small window to the right of the structural synopsis of the document (i.e., ”Clauses”) or as a separate window by following the direct link provided (‘Link to External Databanks’).

The William Davidson Talmud

The William Davidson Talmud
More than fifty years ago, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz Even-Israel took it upon himself to make the Talmud, the central text of Jewish life, available to all. In 1965, he began translating the 37 tractates of the Talmud from ancient Aramaic into Modern Hebrew, with an English translation published in the Koren Talmud Bavli Noé Edition. Ninety percent of the world’s Jewish population speaks English or Hebrew as a first language, so making the Talmud intelligible in these two languages is a colossal achievement, but until now, this precious content was only available to those with access to a physical volume.
Today, Sefaria is excited and humbled to announce the release of The William Davidson Talmud, a free digital edition of the Babylonian Talmud with parallel translations, interlinked to major commentaries, biblical citations, Midrash, Kabbalah, Halakhah, and an ever-growing library of Jewish texts.

The William Davidson Talmud will continually evolve as we add additional commentaries and connections, and will ultimately include Rabbi Steinsaltz’s complete Modern Hebrew and English translations. You can already access 22 tractates in English (Berakhot to Bava Batra) online on our website. The Modern Hebrew translations will start appearing online later this year, and the remaining English tractates will follow.

Project Volterra

Project Volterra
The Projet Volterra was established in honour of the memory of the distinguished Roman lawyer Edoardo Volterra (1904-1984), whose widow left his substantial and rich collection of Roman law books to the École Française de Rome. A catalogue of the older items, with reminiscences by relatives and colleagues, has now been published by Douglas Osler as vol. 3 in the series Bibliographica Iuridica (Frankfurt-am-Main, 2006). The general aims of the Projet Volterra are to promote the study of Roman law in its full social, political and legal context.
The first phase of this project in Britain (Volterra I) ran from 1995 to 2004, based in the UCL History Department, being initially funded by the British Academy and then by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Entitled 'Law and Empire AD193-455', it focused on later Roman imperial legal pronouncements and its primary output was an on-line searchable database of all imperial pronouncements in Latin from the late second to mid-fifth centuries. Although this phase is now finished, its product is a 'living database' that continues to be up-dated and maintained courtesy of periodic funding from the British Academy, which adopted the Projet Volterra in 2005 as one of its long term research projects.
The second phase of the project, entitled 'Law and the End of Empire' (Volterra II), started in September 2005. This comprises two five-year research projects funded by the Arts and Humanities Reseach Council (2005-2010, 2011-2015), and it continues to be based at UCL History. It carries on chronologically from where Volterra I left off. Based on a thorough analysis of the surviving texts and their transmission, the aim of this phase of the project is to produce a history, with supporting database and on-line resources, of the law (Roman, Germanic or ‘barbarian’, and ecclesiastical) in all its aspects in continental Europe between the end of the Roman Empire in the west and the Carolingian period.
The team working on the project initially comprised Professor Michael Crawford and Dr Benet Salway, based in the Department of History at University College London, where they were joined by Dr Simon Corcoran in 1999. The team was augmented by Dr Magnus Ryan, Faculty of History and Peterhouse, Cambridge for the first part of Volterra II (2005-2010).
Three papers from the Colloquium held at the Senate House, University of London, in March 2004, together with a general introduction to the Projet Volterra, were published in November 2007 in the Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies 49 (2006) pp. 214-254.
