News: 33 New titles added to Ancient World Digital Library

33 New titles added to Ancient World Digital Library
By Gabriel McKee
02/02/2017 
This January a selection of 33 newly-digitized volumes was added to the Ancient World Digital Library (AWDL), containing both high-quality scans of public-domain content as well as more recent publications released through new partnerships with publishers and academic organizations.
The recent additions include the first volume in a new partnership between AWDL and ISLET-Verlag, a Dresden-based publishing house founded in 2002 by Cornelia Wunsch. ISLET specializes in publishing cuneiform archives, economic and legal texts, and other Assyrian and Babylonian materials. The first volume in the series “Babylonische Archive”, Mining the Archives, is now viewable in AWDL. More volumes from ISLET will follow.

The newly-added titles also include four volumes of monographic supplements published by the Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists (BASP): Roger S. Bagnall and K.A. Worp’s Regnal Formulas in Byzantine Egypt, Kathleen McNamee’s Abbreviations in Greek Literary Papyri and Ostraca, D. Brent Sandy’s The Production and Use of Vegetable Oils in Ptolemaic Egypt, and John F. Oates’ The Ptolemaic Basilikos Grammateus. With these four volumes, AWDL continues its partnership with the American Society of Papyrologists, whose series American Studies in Papyrology currently has 15 titles available in AWDL.

Papyrology is further represented by three historical titles from Harrassowitz Verlag, original published in the 1940s-1960s: Wilhelm Schubert’s Die Papyri der Universitatsbibliothek Erlangen, Erich Lüddeckens’ Ägyptische Eheverträge, and Ludwig Koenen’s Eine ptolemäische Königsurkunde (P. Kroll). Through AWDL, these long out-of-print volumes are now accessible to scholars worldwide.

Lastly, the new additions to AWDL include 25 public-domain volumes, primarily on Egyptological topics. These titles, several of which have long available in low-quality scans from sources like the Internet Archive and Hathi Trust, have been completely re-digitized for AWDL. These high-quality scans will prove far more useful than what has been digitally available until now, particularly for titles like Beschreibung der aegyptischen Sammlung des niederländischen Reichsmuseums der Altertümer in Leiden that include photographic plates.

As always, titles in AWDL can be read online in full resolution or downloaded in either high- or low-resolution PDF format. In addition to searching for titles, you can also find titles by using the AWDL Atlas, a browsable map of all of the titles available on the AWDL site; by browsing for topics under the “Collections Overview” tab; or looking at individual series in the “Series” tab.

Judaism and Rome: Re-thinking Judaism’s Encounter with the Roman Empire

Judaism and Rome: Re-thinking Judaism’s Encounter with the Roman Empire
 Arch of Titus, Rome (82 CE)
Welcome to the website for the ERC project "Re-thinking Judaism’s Encounter with the Roman Empire: Rome’s Political and Religious Challenge to Israel and its Impact on Judaism"!
On this website you will find useful resources for studying Roman imperial ideology, or Roman imperial discourses, artefacts and performances, displayed in literary records, epigraphy, numismatics, as well as through monuments, statues and other material artefacts. There is a particular focus on sources connected to the three sub-themes of the project, “Roman Power,” “Roman Law” and “Roman Citizenship”.
You will also find Jewish, Greek, Egyptian and Christian sources documenting the responses of some of the provincials of the Roman empire to the challenge of Roman domination. By "responses," however, we do not intend only the provincial sources that explicitly mention Rome and address issues such as Roman law courts or grants of Roman citizenship. We also take into account the way the Roman imperial context led provincials to formulate their own conceptions of power, law, and citizenship or membership with a given group.

The website Judaism and Rome aims to:
  • give access to some important sources, providing as much information as possible: images, original text, translation…
  • provide the reader with an original and detailed analysis of each source, a service that is very rarely offered on the internet, and which makes this website comparable to a rich sourcebook
  • promote interdisciplinary discussion between scholars working on Roman history, Jewish Studies, Epigraphy, Numismatics, Classics, Patristics, History of Christianity, etc.
There are multiple ways to perform a search and to find sources that are relevant to your specific interests. Please look at “How to search".

Open Access Journal: The Archaeological Journal

The Archaeological Journal

Introduction

Caerphilly Castle The Royal Archaeological Institute (RAI) is a leading national archaeology society and since 1844 we have annually published the Archaeological Journal. The journal contains papers on the Institute's interests, which span all aspects of the archaeological, architectural and landscape history of the British Isles. It presents the results of archaeological and architectural survey and fieldwork on sites and monuments of all periods as well as syntheses and overviews of such work in the British Isles.
The RAI has digitially scanned and made available the first 120 years of the Archaeological Journal, which are available to view through this website.
More recent journals, from Volume 121 through to the latest published articles, are available through the RAI´s commerical publishers Routledge on the Taylor & Francis website. These are free to subscribing libraries and members, and are otherwise available on a pay-per-view basis.
