Anleitung zur öffentlichen Datenbank des Projektes „Der Tempel als Kanon der religiösen Literatur Ägyptens“

Herzlich willkommen bei der öffentlichen Beta-Version der Datenbank des Forschungsprojektes der Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften „Der Tempel als Kanon der religiösen Literatur Ägyptens“.

Am Beginn der Projektarbeit seit August 2010 stand die Erstellung einer umfangreichen Datenbank für die interne Projektarbeit. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, jeden publizierten Text oder Teiltext der Tempel der griechisch-römischen Zeit in einem individuellen Datensatz zu erfassen. Diese Datensätze enthalten neben Basisinformationen wie Publikationsort, architektonischer Position, Raumbezeichnung, korrespondierenden Texten und ähnlichem auch jeweils einen Tempelplan, einen Raumplan und einen Wandplan, sodass für jeden der ca. 25000 Einträge jeweils drei Pläne vorliegen, denen man die exakte räumliche Verortung des jeweiligen Textes entnehmen kann. Neben diesen Basisinformationen enthalten die Einträge auch inhaltliche Informationen, wie etwaige Ritualszenentitel oder die Zuordnung eines Textes zu einem der 42 Gaue Ägyptens.

Dieser umfassende Fundus an Informationen wird hier nun der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft und der interessierten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht. Zusätzlich zu den bereits vorhandenen Informationen der internen Projektdatenbank, wurden in diese öffentliche Version zwei weitere Hilfsmittel integriert: So finden sich bei jedem Datensatz nun die dazugehörigen Einträge des „Lexikons der ägyptischen Götter und Götterbezeichnungen“ und der „Kurzbibliographie zu den übersetzten Tempeltexten der griechisch-römischen Zeit“ mit zeilengenauen Angaben, sodass der Benutzer alle relevanten Informationen auf einen Blick verfügbar hat.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass es sich bei der jetzigen Version um eine erste Beta-Version handelt, die in Zukunft noch um weitere Funktionen, wie etwa individuelle Nutzeraccounts erweitert werden wird. Auch bitten wir alle im Moment noch enthaltenen Fehler und Unstimmigkeiten zu entschuldigen. Für Anregungen, Fehlermeldungen und Ratschläge aller Art sind wir Ihnen sehr dankbar. Wenden Sie sich hierfür bitte ohne Zögern an Florian Löffler (florian.loeffler@aegyptologie.uni-tuebingen.de).

Interactive map and satellite images of destroyed monuments of Mosul

Monuments of Mosul in Danger

The project Monuments of Mosul in Danger (Ohrožená architektura města Mosulu) – supported by the Oriental Institute, The Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, and the research programme Strategy AV21 of The Czech Academy of Sciences – was launched in reaction to a serious threat to the Mosul architectural sites from ISIS (Daesh), who seized the town in June 2014. Since then, dozens of historical sites have been razed to the ground or severely damaged. Monuments of diverse types, such as mosques, madrasas, mausolea, graveyards, churches and monasteries have been subject to destruction. 

Mosul architecture has only been marginally researched by Western scholars. Because of this, we are not aware of how much world cultural heritage we have been deprived of. The first and only systematic survey of Islamic, Christian, and Jewish monuments in Mosul was conducted by Ernst Herzfeld in 1907-1908. Subsequently, only several aspects of Mosul medieval architecture have been written about by, among others, Ugo Monneret de Villard and Eugen Wirth. Mosul architecture has been studied by many outstanding Iraqi researchers (e.g., Sa‛id al-Diwahji, Tariq Jawad Janabi, Ahmad Qasim al-Jum‛a, Ahmad al-Sufi, al-Kubaisi, al-Tutunchi, and others). Their research, however, remains largely unrecognized by the Western historical and archeological discourse.

 Newly released interactive map and satellite images of destroyed monuments of Mosul

The project Monuments of Mosul in Danger (Ohrožená architektura města Mosulu) aims to document and research Mosul monuments that have been destroyed by ISIS since June 2014 (see About the Project). As the first output of the project, we are releasing a list and interactive map of destroyed monuments created through analysis of satellite imagery. The list and map are interconnected with profile lists of individual monuments showing satellite images documenting the scope of the destruction. The map documents the situation as of the end of August 2015. We have failed to identify six of 38 destroyed structures (labeled as unknown structure). We would be grateful for any additional information that would help us to identify them. 

Do not hesitate to contact us should we have made any mistakes in our identifications. Also, any supportive documentation related to the endangered Mosul architecture would be appreciated.

Architecture and Asceticism: Cultural Interaction between Syria and Georgia in Late Antiquity

Architecture and Asceticism

Architecture and Asceticism: Cultural Interaction between Syria and Georgia in Late Antiquity is a five-year research project funded by the European Research Council.

The aim of the project is to explore the Georgian belief that monasticism was brought to the country by the "Thirteen (As)Syrian Fathers" in the sixth century. As there is no textual evidence still extant from this early period, the project is evaluating the surviving material culture in both countries in order to identify any common movements in architecture and art, as well as to study the ecclesiastical history of both countries in order to pinpoint similarities in liturgy, pilgrimage or any other area of historical ritual practice. It is hoped that data from further afield will be contributed in the future, but the parameters of the current project (which will run until November 2017) encompass the modern countries of Georgia, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and the Palestinian Territories.

The outbreak of the Syrian Civil War in 2011 has meant that no new field work can be undertaken for this project in that country, but this has been largely overcome by making use of a large archive of site images taken by the principal investigator in Syria from 1997 until 2010. Therefore this resource also incorporates material from earlier research, including data from two archaeological excavations. We are aware that the ongoing looting and destruction of Syrian archaeological sites places a moral duty on academics to make available their unpublished material to the wider research community in order to create a common resource for those seeking to safeguard Syrian Cultural Heritage. This web resource is intended as a contribution to this process.

Much of this information is being made available to the public for the first time. We have endeavoured to publish as many papers written by team members as possible, but where prevented by copyright restrictions from including articles and monographs we have added links to the websites where there are abstracts and purchase details of these items.

Please look at the Contact Us section if you have any comments or suggestions for the improvement of this resource. This site is still evolving and we hope that it will ultimately become a valuable repository for the Late Antique and Early Medieval material culture of the Levant, Asia Minor and Caucasus regions.

The Bern Digital Pantheon Project

 [First posted in AWOL 11 My 2011. Updated 23 April 2015 (linking now to the Internet Archive)]

The Ber(li)n Digital Pantheon Project

In October 2010 the Bern Digital Pantheon Project has moved to Berlin and is now part of the Excellence Cluster Topoi (www.topoi.org).

The Bern Digital Pantheon Project was originally instigated in 2005 by Gerd Graßhoff as a pilot project of the Karman Center for Advanced Studies in the Humanities in Bern, Switzerland, hence its name. In October 2010 the project has moved to Berlin and is now continued within the cluster of excellence "Topoi" (www.topoi.org) which is devoted to the study of the formation and transformation of space and knowledge in ancient civilizations.

The projects first objective was to undertake the long-overdue architectural survey of one of the most important buildings in the history of architecture. Accordingly, the interior and exterior of the Pantheon were measured in two campaigns in 2005 and 2007 using state-of-the-art laser scan technology.

Encyclopaedia of Iranian Architectural History

Iranshahr: Encyclopaedia of the Iranian Architectural History

The vast scope and many aspect and layers of research on the Iranian/ Persian architectural history requires accessing basic information in this regard. The existing Iranian architectural and urban development works are so numerous and diverse that demand special methods rather than ordinary ones to search and collect the related data in a satisfactory manner.

Thus, a national, all-encompassing, and comprehensive approach is required to do essential researches on the Iranian architectural history in such a systematic method that consider certain parameters like the great number of works; the variety of Iranian nature, climate, and culture as well as the impact of this variety on the country’s architecture; and the historical continuity of this architecture. Inevitably, performing this task calls for the use of information technology facilities. Based on the said approach, a vast knowledge-base covering the Iranian architectural history since the seventh millennium B.C. up to the present has been established that in addition to arranging the existing data and knowledge, will organize the production of related information. It will also affect both national and international researches regarding the Iranian architecture and cause the contemporary architectural data to preserve and record.

To achieve the above-mentioned goals, a comprehensive knowledge-base on the history of architecture and urban development in the Iranian world entitled Iranshahr: Encyclopaedia of the Iranian Architectural History has been developed which will serve its addressees as a website.

Obviously, encyclopaedias are the results of various human knowledge accumulated due to research activities. In this way, a conventional encyclopaedia is a tool to provide its readers, including the public and scholars, with a set of previous research compiled under a specific category called “entry” that could be handed over to expert scholars to write articles on them. In comparison with conventional encyclopaedia Iranshahr is compiled based on a new concept of an encyclopaedia, that is to say all its addresses are considered as potential authors of future articles on every entry of it that may make their contribution to the very encyclopaedia or to any other medium. In other words, Iranshahr is not a place for presenting articles, but a database to provide the users with the existing knowledge on its available entries and guide them to get access to the archives of books, articles, and documents.

Iranshahr is also differed from conventional encyclopaedia in such a manner that the quality and quantity of its entries are not fixed; rather they are constantly increased according to the search and request of its addresses, namely any related term that is appeared in the database could be a potential entry by itself. Therefore, Iranshahr is essentially developed to provide precise search facilities on all kinds of documents pertaining to the history of architecture and urban development in the Iranian world...

The whole data gathered in this database is organized around two general categories: entries and documents. An entry is an item that any information is accumulated or produced about it. It is also a means of user's access to that information. Documents include any source of information, either printed or not, such as books, articles, booklets, theses, periodicals, films, official documents, manuscripts, etc. It is noteworthy that Iranshahr's database is in the course of establishment and the present website is merely a pilot version to portray its future...
