Römische Erinnerungsräume: Heiligenmemoria und kollektive Identitäten im Rom des 3. bis 5. Jahrhunderts n. Chr.

Steffen Diefenbach
 book: Römische Erinnerungsräume
Volume 11 in the series Millennium-Studien / Millennium Studies
https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110204261

Ausgezeichnet als "Das Historische Buch 2008", Platz 1, in der Kategorie "Alte Geschichte"

Between the 3rd and 5th centuries AD Rome underwent a process of transformation which profoundly marked the urban, social, and religious structure of the city. Examing the memory of saints, this study inspects a central field in which this structural change took place. The main themes are, on the one hand, the connection between memoria and various group identities, and, on the other, the specific Christian concept of remembrance, which in turn formed an important prerequisite for the change from a city of late Classical Antiquity to an early medieval city.

 book: Die Landmauer von Konstantinopel-Istanbul
Volume 18 in the series Millennium-Studien / Millennium Studies
https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110203998

The land walls of Constantinople are one of the largest and most important defensive fortifications from Late Antiquity. The subject of this book are the history and topography of the Theodosian Land Walls and the Walls of Blachernae (the so-called walls of the XIVth region, the Komnenian Walls, the section between the Komnenian Walls and the Golden Horn). The central topics are the conception and planning of the Theodosian Walls, the chronology of the Walls of Blachernae, the date of the Golden Gate and the actual gateway of the outer gate, an investigation into the Byzantine names for the gates north of the re-discovered Romanos Gate, the identification of the Mermerkule castle and other localities, as well as an analysis and documentation of the structure itself.

Description
Since 2002, more than a hundred "new" Dead Sea Scroll fragments have appeared on the antiquities market. Most of these fragments are tiny and deteriorated and have later been revealed as modern forgeries. Nonetheless, they have been big business. In this database, we have catalogued all of them, providing information about their content, owners, alleged provenance, their place in the biblical corpus, size, and publication history.

ORACC Dataset Format to LOD FactGrid Cuneiform Wikibase (Oracc2LOD)

The ORACC 2 FactGrid data repository serves as a version-controlled medium between the updates taking place on the ORACC website (https://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/) and the FactGrid Cuneiform Project.

Within this repository we maintain versions of the following files:

1. ORACC_Projects.csv

2. all_merged.csv

3. factgrid_df.csv

4. finaldf.csv

5. RulerCatalogue.csv

Data Descriptions:

1. ORACC_Projects.CSV is a curated list of projects found on the ORACC Project website (https://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/projectlist.html) [accessed March 8, 2024]. It contains the links and license information for each of the projects currently available on ORACC.

2. all_merged.CSV is the resulting data frame from the Metacatalogue Jupyter Notebook (https://github.com/ancient-world-citation-analysis/Oracc2LoD/blob/main/7.1%20-%20Metacatalogue.ipynb). The construction and format of this data is described in the notebook, and the fields are derived from the CDLI (x) and ORACC (y) databases, respectively.

3. factgrid_df.CSV is the resulting data frame from the FactGrid QuickStatement Processing Jupyter Notebook (https://github.com/ancient-world-citation-analysis/Oracc2LoD/blob/main/7.3%20-%20Factgrid%20Quickstatement%20Processing.ipynb). The construction and format of this data is described in the notebook, and the field are derived from the Metacatalogue (above) along with the Properties in FactGrid Directory of Properties for more details (https://database.factgrid.de/wiki/FactGrid:Directory_of_Properties).

4. finaldf.CSV is the resulting data frame from the Large DataFrame of Unique Words Jupyter Notebook (https://github.com/ancient-world-citation-analysis/Oracc2LoD/blob/main/3-Large%20DF%20of%20Unique%20Words.ipynb). The construction and format of this data is described in the notebook.

5. RulerCatalogue.CSV is the resulting data frame from the RulerCatalogue Jupyter Notebook (https://github.com/ancient-world-citation-analysis/Oracc2LoD/blob/main/6-%20RulerCatalogue.ipynb). The construction and format of this data is described in the notebook.

Wikidata Lemmatization Dataset

The Wikidata Lemmatization Dataset was collected using the following SPARQL query: https://w.wiki/9TwH

Languages included in the dataset:

  • Akkadian : AKK (Q35518)
  • Arabic : AR (Q13955)
  • Czech : CS (Q9056)
  • German : DE (Q188)
  • English : EN (Q1860)
  • French : FR (Q150)
  • Hebrew : HE (Q9288)
  • Hittite : HIT (Q35668)
  • Italian : IT (Q652)
  • Russian : RU (Q7737)
  • Sumerian : SUX (Q36790)
  • Turkish : TR (Q256)

The choice of languages to include have to do with a collection of primary and secondary source documents which we have digitized (OCR) and are using as references for the FactGrid Cuneiform project. The resulting lexemes for each language are shared in CSV with the file names references each language, their Wikidata Q-ids, the number of lexemes at that date, and the date of access (MM_YYYY).

The format of each CSV includes the following fields:

  1. lexeme : the Wikidata lexeme id (L-id)
  2. lexemeLabel : the label assigned to the lexeme in Wikidata
  3. lexical_category : the Wikidata Q-item for the part of speech
  4. lexical_categoryLabel : the label assigned to the lexical category (e.g. noun, verb, adjective, etc.)

This dataset will be updated periodically using standard version control.
