Epigraphica Romana

[First posted in AWOL 11 July 2018, updated 22 July 2022]

Epigraphica Romana

Origine du projet

Le programme Epigraphica Romana est né de l’intégration de l’Unité de Service et de Recherche « L’Année Epigraphique » (l’ex-USR 710 du CNRS) à l’Unité Mixte de Recherche « Anthropologie et histoire des mondes anciens » (ANHIMA, UMR 8210 du CNRS).
Il s’appuie donc sur les personnels et le fonds documentaire (la Bibliothèque Année Epigraphique – Fonds Pflaum) du pôle épigraphique de Villejuif.
À l’issue de ce processus d’intégration, ANHIMA a reçu de l’Institut des sciences humaines et sociales (INSHS) du CNRS la mission de construire une base de données, en ligne et en libre accès, proposant une recension annuelle des inscriptions romaines nouvellement publiées ou révisées.

Premiers résultats

Cette base de données est le fruit d’une élaboration technique, à laquelle ont travaillé les informaticiens en poste à ANHIMA depuis 2015. Ce projet s’est appuyé notamment sur le développement d’un outil partagé de gestion de bases de données, au sein d’ANHIMA et du Centre André Chastel (UMR 8150 du CNRS).
Entre l’automne 2015 et l’été 2016, le programme a recensé les nouveautés épigraphiques parues en 2014 et concernant quelques régions de l’empire romain : la Regio VI italienne, les Gaules, les Germanies, la Bétique et la Dacie. Dix rédacteurs ont participé à cette expérimentation, qui a abouti à la mise en forme de quelque 130 notices d’ EpRom 2014.
L’expérience accumulée a permis de se lancer, l’année suivante, dans une recension couvrant une grande partie de l’empire romain. Une rédaction constituée d’une trentaine de chercheurs, a produit quelque 700 notices, constituant le millésime d’ EpRom 2015.

DASI: Digital Archive for the Study of pre-Islamic Arabian Inscriptions

 [First posted in AWOL 31 January 2013. Updated when the site relaunched 30 May 2022]

DASI: Digital Archive for the Study of pre-Islamic Arabian Inscriptions

DASI seeks to gather all known pre-Islamic Arabian epigraphic material into a comprehensive online database, with the aim to make available to specialists and to the broader public a wide array of documents often underestimated because of their difficulty of access.  
 
By means of a digitization process through a hybrid data entry/xml system, DASI gives access at present to more than 8,400 Ancient South Arabian inscriptions and 600 more anepigraphic objects, for the most part recorded by the University of Pisa team under the direction of Alessandra Avanzini. Thanks to the collaboration with other major European centres for the study of the Arabian Peninsula, also parts of the corpora of the Ancient North Arabian inscriptions (supervision by Mr. M.C.A. Macdonald, University of Oxford), Nabataean inscriptions (supervision by Dr. Laila Nehmé, UMR 8167, CNRS-Paris) and other Aramaic inscriptions (soon available, under the supervision by Dr. Maria Gorea, Université de Paris VIII) have been digitized.
 
DASI project was funded by the European Community within the Seventh Framework Programme “Ideas”, through an ERC – Advanced Grant awarded to Prof. Alessandra Avanzini at the University of Pisa (2011-2016). The Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, additional participant of the project, was responsible for the technical development of the archive, which is now maintained at the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Rome.

Corpus of South Arabian Inscriptions

The ASA (Ancient South Arabian) corpus is one of the most interesting collections of epigraphic documents of the Semitic world, first and foremost for its vastness. With its over 15,000 inscriptions, it is the first-hand, written documentation of the culture that flourished in South Arabia from the late second millennium BC to the sixth century AD. At present, CSAI contains a collection of some 8,400 texts, for the most part digitized by the team of the University of Pisa under the direction of A. Avanzini.

Online Corpus of the Inscriptions of Ancient North Arabia

The Online Corpus of the Inscriptions of Ancient North Arabia (OCIANA) is a project of the Khalili Research Centre of the University of Oxford, directed by J. Johns and M.C.A. Macdonald. It aims to present an easily updatable, online edition of all known Ancient North Arabian inscriptions: Taymanitic, Dadanitic, Hasaitic, Safaitic, Hismaic and Thamudic.

Inscriptions of Israel/Palestine

[First posted in AWOL 17 June 2013, updated 197 March 2022] 

 
The Inscriptions of Israel/Palestine

The Inscriptions of Israel/Palestine project seeks to collect and make freely accessible all of the previously published inscriptions (and their English translations) of Israel/Palestine from the Persian period through the Islamic conquest (ca. 500 BCE - 640 CE). Epigraphy is the study of such inscriptions, defined as texts written on durable materials (except for coins, which falls under the academic category of numismatics). There are about 10,000 of these inscriptions, written primarily in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and Latin, by Jews, Christians, Greeks, and Romans. They range from imperial declarations on monumental architecture to notices of donations in synagogues to humble names scratched on ossuaries, and include everything in between.

These inscriptions are an invaluable resource for historical investigation, for they provide information that is frequently not available in the extant literary texts. Recently, for example, scholars have used these inscriptions to:

  • Reconstruct the ancient Roman road system throughout Israel/Palestine, thus revising our understanding of trade routes and the economy;
  • Investigate the involvement of the Roman government in municipal building projects;
  • Revise our understanding of the Bar-Kokhba Revolt, suggesting that the revolt was far more serious than we previously thought;
  • Recover the role (and perhaps even voices) of women in Jewish and Christian communities - voices that otherwise are silent in the literary record; -Provide insight into linguistic use and change in the area.

Some examples of the kind of information that inscriptions provide about the ancient world can be found on our "Stories" page. Please take a look and tell us what you think!

All inscriptions are encoded according to Epidoc guidelines.

The DOI of the project is: 10.26300/pz1d-st89 (https://doi.org/10.26300/pz1d-st89)

PALMYRA PORTRAIT PROJECT

 [First posted in AWOL 2 October 2015, updated 2 February 2022]

 PALMYRA PORTRAIT PROJECT

https://projects.au.dk/fileadmin/templavoila/Palmyra-portrait-675x350.jpg 

Palmyran funerary sculpture is the largest corpus of portrait sculpture in the Roman world outside Rome, which makes this group of material extremely significant both in relation to issues of identity in the Roman provinces as well as in comparison to core-Roman portraiture studies. Both are facts which have been completely ignored in scholarship until now. There are more than 1500 pieces scattered through various museums and private collections across the world. These have never been collected, catalogued and treated as a single corpus. The aims of this project are therefore threefold: to compile a corpus of all known palmyran funerary portraits, to digitalise the H. Ingholt-archive and to produce text volumes to accompany the corpus as well as a number of publications on various aspects of palmyran sculpture. The corpus and the archive will be made available online. To achieve these goals effectively this project must be undertaken by a group of researchers at various stages in their careers.

Open Access Journal: In-Scription: revue en ligne d'études épigraphiques

ISSN électronique: 2553-5293 
La revue In-Scription: revue en ligne d'études épigraphiques propose de créer le premier lieu de publication en ligne de textes scientifiques consacrés à l'étude des écritures médiévales en dehors du monde manuscrit, et en particulier à celle des inscriptions médiévales. Elle est animée par l'équipe du Corpus des inscriptions de la France médiévale de Poitiers (CESCM) et entend favoriser la publication dans des délais courts de textes originaux en français et en anglais, produits notamment par de jeunes chercheurs. Un comité de lecture évalue la qualité et la pertinence des textes et sollicite des expertises extérieures le cas échéant. Le responsable prépare la publication en lien avec les auteurs et le webmaster. La revue entend publier les textes au fil de l'eau afin de mettre les textes le plus rapidement possible à disposition d'une communauté scientifique qui possède aujourd'hui assez peu de journaux spécialisés.
