Open Access Journal: Journal of Byzantine Studies (JOEB) - Jahrbuch der Österreichischen Byzantinistik

 [First posted in AWOL 18 October 2024, updated 30 June 2025]
 
ISSN Print: 0378-8660
ISSN Online: 1810-536X

JOEB

Die einmal jährlich erscheinende Zeitschrift wurde 1951 als Jahrbuch der Österreichischen Byzantinischen Gesellschaft gegründet; mit dem Wechsel in den Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften wurde sie 1973 (ab Band 22) in Jahrbuch der Österreichischen Byzantinistik umbenannt. Sie stellte zunächst einerseits das Publikationsorgan von Byzantinist:innen Österreichs dar – stets interdisziplinär offen zu allen Nachbarwissenschaften –, andererseits ein Fachmedium, das international Beiträge zum Fachgebiet nach einem Begutachtungsverfahren veröffentlicht(e). Mittlerweile zählt das Jahrbuch zu einer der führenden Zeitschriften der Byzantinistik international.

Mit Band 68 (2018) führte die Zeitschrift die thematische Bündelung von Themen in Cluster mit einer kurzen Einleitung ein. So wurden etwa Schwerpunkte den Autoren Theodoros Studites oder Georgios Pisides gewidmet.

Die starke internationale Nachfrage, aber auch Kriterien der Indizierung haben zu einer erneuten Namensänderung 2021 geführt: Ab Band 71 trägt die Zeitschrift den Doppeltitel Journal of Byzantine Studies (JOEB) / Jahrbuch der Österreichischen Byzantinistik.

Inhaltlich umfasst die Zeitschrift Neueditionen oder Ersteditionen griechischer Texte (auf der Quellbasis von Siegeln über Inschriften zu Handschriften) mit philologischen und historischen Kommentaren ebenso wie Studien jedweder wissenschaftlichen Fokussierung, einschließlich Archäologie und Kunstgeschichte. Ein besonderes Anliegen ist der Zeitschrift dabei auch die interdisziplinäre Bandbreite und die Einbeziehung von Nachbarkulturen im politisch-kulturellen Austausch mit Byzanz.

Erscheinungsja
Journal of Byzantine Studies (JOeB), 74
Nummer:
74
Jahrgang:
2024
1. Auflage, 2025
Band 74 enthält zehn Beiträge, die sich Editionen neuer Texte, Analysen byzantinischer Handschriften und historischen Fragestellungen widmen. Ediert sind ein Compendium zur geometrischen Metrologie (F. Acerbi), ein Brief des Nikolaos Mesarites zur Hochzeit des Theodoros I. Laskaris mit Philippa von Armenien (B. Daskas), eine Rede des Demetrios Chrysoloras auf den Heiligen Demetrios (M. Dessilani), Formulare zur Einsetzung eines „pater pneumatikos“ (Ch. Gastgeber), ein platonischer Traktat des Georgios Pachymeres (P. Golitsis, G. Savoidakis), ein hagiographisches Fragment süditalienischen Ursprungs (G. Rossetto). Speziellen handschriftlichen Schwerpunkten wird nachgegangen, mit Bezug auf „mise en page“ in (antiken) Dramatiker-Codices (M. L. Agati), auf Codex Parisinus graecus 1741 (I. Nesseris) und auf die Überlieferung der Epitome physica des Nikephoros Blemmydes im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert (A. Palla, St. Valente). Kaiserfeierlichkeiten unter den Komnenen werden einer historischen Analyse unterzogen (†E. und M. Jeffreys). Rezensionen zu aktuellen Neuerscheinungen beschließen den Band.

Edited by Ward Briggs 
George Kennedy teaching a seminar in Murphey Hall’s Classics Library 

George Kennedy was an accomplished scholar and leader of national classics and humanities associations. He was an extremely effective chairman of the Classics Department at the University of North Carolina, who substantially raised the quality of its faculty and students. In this memoir he describes the department as he found it in 1966 with sketches of the faculty in place and those he subsequently hired. He also describes both the honorary and everyday duties that he was obliged to perform.

Survey on Interdisciplinary Outreach in Egyptology

Survey on Interdisciplinary Outreach in Egyptology

Welcome to our survey on interdisciplinary outreach in Egyptology!

This survey is part of an initiative to explore how Egyptologists engage with other disciplines, the challenges they face, and the opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. Our goal is to gain insights into current outreach strategies in academia and identify ways to strengthen interdisciplinary exchange between Egyptology and other fields of knowledge: https://asegyptology.com/egyptological-outreach-strategies/

This anonymous survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. Most questions are multiple-choice, allowing you to select the most relevant options. In addition, you will find opportunities to provide your own answers and share your perspectives through an open-ended question. Your responses will contribute to a broader discussion on how Egyptology can better connect with other disciplines.

Thank you for your time and valuable contribution!

The Kieperts’ Asia Minor Ancient and Ottoman: Capstones of Route-Based Cartography

Richard J. A. Talbert University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA 
 

Two ambitious Asia Minor map series by the Kieperts — Heinrich’s lithographed Specialkarte and Richard’s engraved Karte von Kleinasien — are probed here for the first time. What can be recovered about their planning, production, revision and impact from the 1880s through the 1920s forms the main focus, together with their relationship. It is reassessed both with the aid of largely forgotten accompanying texts, and with an Appendix identifying all named informants (over 200) and the expertise each contributed, ranging from geology and archaeology to military intelligence and railroad engineering. Both series — with their double ancient and contemporary focus — emerge as fundamentally Heinrich’s lifelong accomplishment, and as capstones of cartography based principally upon travelers’ itineraries with their inevitable shortcomings. This method remained the sole permissible approach to mapmaking in the Ottoman empire until 1908, by chance also the year when Karte von Kleinasien’s first edition achieved completion. Reviewed finally are the exceptional circumstances in which subsequent editions continued as standard reference tools through the 1920s and even beyond, while the Turkish Republic’s General Staff undertook a triangulated survey.

Open Access Journal: History of Classical Scholarship (HCS)

 [First posted in AWOL 22 August 2021. updated 29 June 2025]

ISSN: 2632-4091 (electronic) 
HCS logo
History of Classical Scholarship (HCS) is a new academic journal that sets out to be the first periodical exclusively devoted to the history of the studies on the Greek and Roman world, in a broad and interdisciplinary sense. We welcome contributions on any aspects of the history of classical studies, in any geographical context, from the Middle Ages to the late twentieth century, and are keen to host papers covering the whole range of the discipline: from ancient history to literary studies, from epigraphy and numismatics to art history and archaeology, from textual criticism to religious and linguistic studies. We also welcome the publication of significant items from the Nachlässe of classical scholars, including letters that may shed light on matters of historical or historiographical interest.
HCS is fully open-access: it is freely available on the web, and each paper is paginated and downloadable in PDF format. It has a strong international dimension, like the subject matter that it aims to explore, and features articles written in English, French, German, Italian or Spanish.
Each submission will undergo a double-blind peer-review process. The aim is to upload an accepted paper on the journal’s website as soon as it is ready to appear. We are not setting prescriptive deadlines for the submission of contributions to each individual issue. There is no binding word limit for contributions and we do not impose a single house style.

    Open Access Journal: Zeitschrift für archäologische Aufklärung

    ISSN: 2941-0002
    Die archäologischen Disziplinen haben sich – parallel zu populärmedialen Banalisierungen – zunehmend von zeitgenössischen Diskursen in Philosophie, Bild-, Medien- und Sozialwissenschaften entkoppelt. Die Zeitschrift für archäologische Aufklärung setzt sich zum Ziel, die Aktualität antiker Artefakte zu demonstrieren. Im Fokus steht nicht das l‘art pour l‘art einer positivistischen Rekonstruktion zerschlagener Vasen, verschütteter Städte und verwehter Handelswege: Ziel ist vielmehr die Präzisierung von Konzepten antiker Dingwelten, ihrer Mechanismen und Regelsysteme. Die Zeitschrift sucht im Trümmerhaufen der Antike nach Lösungen für die Aporien der Gegenwart.

    DATAMESOP: DATAset on inorganic stable isotope measurement (strontium, oxygen and carbon) of archaeological and non-archaeological materials from South-West Asia for MESOPotamia

    DATAMESOP is one of the first comprehensive isotopic datasets aimed at supporting bioarchaeological studies in ancient Mesopotamia. The dataset compiles radiogenic strontium and stable carbon, and oxygen isotope measurements from both archaeological (human and animal remains and plant and soil samples) and non-archaeological sources (surface rocks, soil, dust, water, and rainwater) in South-West Asia. The data have been collected, ensuring the quality and reliability of isotopic measurements and the comparability of the standards, from published studies. This dataset is designed to be user-friendly for archaeologists and isotope specialists, including contextual information that might facilitate data use and interpretation, particularly in regions like Mesopotamia (Iraq, Iran, and Turkey). Isotopic values were recorded alongside comprehensive supporting information: Archaeological Information: the specific toponymy of the site, the archaeological phase, associated material culture, and further information, when available. Biological Data: for humans, these included the sex determination, the estimation of age at death, while for other types of samples they included taxonomic classifications or type of environment. Instrumental Information: Technical details, including the type of instrument used for measurements, its version, any correction calculations, and the standard values applied during the analysis. All the values presented in the compilation were standardised to commonly accepted references: VPDB for δ13C and δ18O and NBS987 for 87Sr/86Sr, with corrections applied to the NBS987 value (0.710250) when necessary. Water values are converted to VPDB carbonate.

    Phoenician-Punic Islets Data

    Description

    This dataset documents 125 micro-islands (≤20 km²) with evidence of Phoenician-Punic activity across the Mediterranean-Atlantic region, offering a systematic geospatial corpus for studying ancient insularity. Data were collected through archival research, satellite imagery analysis, and non-invasive fieldwork, with coordinates cross-referenced against historical cartography and archaeological reports. Stored in .csv, .kml, and .pdf formats, the dataset includes geographic boundaries, site descriptions, and temporal spans (12th c. BCE–4th c. CE). An interactive digital atlas (Google MyMaps) enhances accessibility. The resource supports interdisciplinary reuse, enabling studies of Phoenician-Punic settlement patterns, sacred landscapes, and trade networks, while serving as a baseline for comparative island archaeology and cultural geography.
