Attic Inscriptions Online

 

Welcome to Attic Inscriptions Online (AIO), a resource structured around English translations of the inscriptions of ancient Athens and Attica.

Background

Inscriptions on stone are the most important documentary source for the history of the ancient city of Athens and its surrounding region, Attica. Dating from the 7th century BC through to the end of antiquity, Greek texts are available to scholars in Inscriptiones Graecae (IG) I (up to 403/2 BC) and II (after 403/2 BC) (website), updated annually by the Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum (SEG) (website) (access by subscription), and in the Packard Humanities Institute (PHI) Greek Inscriptions website. However, before the launch of AIO, very few of the inscriptions were available in English translation, whether in print, or online.

Key features of the site

The core of the site comprises annotated English translations of Attic inscriptions. The most popular means of accessing a translation is via browse by source. If you browse by an outdated reference (e.g. an old edition of IG) you will always be led to a translation of the most up-to-date Greek text. Each translation includes a link to the Greek text translated, whether on an external site or on AIO. (In 2019/20 we are completing a programme of adding Greek texts onto AIO where no up-to-date Greek text is available elsewhere in open access). Each translation also includes links to any available online images of the inscription, on external sites or on AIO.
You can also browse by date, by findspot, by original location, by present location, by inscription type, by monument type, and by publication date on AIO.
You can also carry out a word search. There is also an advanced search. Please note that these searches are not designed to accommodate Greek characters.

Online Database of Egyptian Early Dynastic inscriptions

[First posted in AWOL 19 September 2011, updated 27 Novdember 2018 (links fixed)]

Database of Early Dynastic inscriptions
By Ilona Regulski

The current database assembles all available Early Dynastic inscriptions, covering the first attestations of writing discovered in tomb U-j (Naqada IIIA1, ca. 3250 BC) until the earliest known continuous written text in the reign of Netjerikhet–more commonly known as Djoser (ca. 2700 BC).[1] The database originated as a computerized Access document containing the collection of sources on which the author’s publication “A Palaeographic Study of Early Writing in Egypt” was based.[2] The latter was kindly reformed into a web compatible application by Prof. Erhart Graefe, former head of the Department of Egyptology and Coptology at the Westfalische-Wilhelms Universität, Münster, Germany, which hosts the database. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to him. Additional information on bibliography, reading and interpretation of signs and whereabouts of the inscriptions have kindly been provided by: Eva-Maria Engel, Annelies Bleeker, Catherine Jones, Kathryn Piquette, the students of the third MA semester 2012-2013 from the FU Berlin (Stephanie Bruck, Dominik Ceballos Contreras, Viktoria Fink, Stephan Hartlepp, Ingo Küchler, Soukaina Najjarane, Niklas Schneeweiß, Melanie Schreiber, Dina Serova, Elisabeth Wegner).[3]

The database contains more then 4500 inscriptions and is constantly updated. Each inscription was assigned a source number. The source list, published by J. Kahl in Das System der ägyptischen Hieroglyphenschrift in der 0.-3. Dynastie, 171-417, was the point of departure.[4] The sequence of the Kahl list is chronological but this could not be followed when new sources were added as they were found. About 700 sources could be added to his collection starting with number 4000. Multiple impressions from the same cylinder seal were incorporated as one source since they are copies of one inscription.

La Justice sur les pierres: Recueil d'inscriptions à caractère juridique descités grecques à l'époque hellénistique

La Justice sur les pierres: Recueil d'inscriptions à caractère juridique descités grecques à l'époque hellénistique

Ce recueil de trente-huit inscriptions à caractère juridique constitue l’apostille d’un travail sur la justice dans les cités grecques à l’époque hellénistique, publié aux PUR sous le titre La Justice dans les cités grecques. L’exercice de la justice, de la formation des royaumes hellénistiques au legs d’Attale.
 
L’essentiel des conclusions de l’ouvrage s’appuyant sur l’analyse épigraphique, il a paru évident, à l’heure des nouvelles technologies, de mettre en ligne le recueil pour qu’il soit facilement accessible à tous. Un immense merci à Pascal Delahaye pour la rapidité et l’efficacité dont il a fait preuve pour mettre le texte en ligne et la générosité de son accueil sur son site.

Les inscriptions sont présentées par ordre chronologique et ne viennent que de cités. Les textes retenus ne constituent évidemment pas l’ensemble du corpus d’inscriptions susceptibles de présenter des données juridiques, mais ils sont particulièrement révélateurs des thèmes du domaine du droit et de la justice dans les cités grecques.

Si les inscriptions sont données et traduites dans leur intégralité, les commentaires ne portent, en revanche, que sur les points du texte ayant trait à la justice, après restitution du contexte chronologique et historique de la gravure.

EAGLE Mediawiki

EAGLE Mediawiki

EAGLE aims to build a multi-lingual online collection of millions of digitised items from European museums, libraries, archives and multi-media collections, which deal with inscriptions from the Greek and Roman World. The aim of the network is to make available the vast majority of the surviving inscriptions of the Greco-Roman world, complete with the essential information about them and with a series of peer-reviewed translations in several European languages. These are notoriously unavailable for inscriptions, as photos.

This Mediawiki is designed to give a tool to anyone interested in bridging this gap and contributing translations of inscriptions, either by providing groups of translations or providing new ones. Mediawiki is the software installed on the EAGLE website, and it uses the additional extension Wikibase to produce seamlessly for users, machine readable data.

Epigrafia 3D

 Esta web y todos sus recursos forman parte del proyecto proyecto FCT-13-6025 "Descifrando inscripciones romanas en 3D: Ciencia epigráfica virtual", financiado por la Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología – Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad y la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, dentro de la convocatoria de ayudas para el fomento de la cultura científica y de la innovación del año 2013.

Investigador responsable: Manuel Ramírez Sánchez (Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Instituto Universitario de Análisis y Aplicaciones Textuales).

La reforma del Museo Arqueológico Nacional, cuyas salas se reabren mañana 1 de abril, ha aprovechado espacios que, hasta la fecha, no estaban dedicados al discurso expositivo. Sin duda, entre los aciertos de esta reforma se encuentra el aprovechamiento de los dos patios que, hasta ahora, permanecían cerrados al público. En uno de ellos, el llamado "patio romano" se exhiben las mejoras piezas de la colección epigráfica del Museo Arqueológico Nacional y una selección de la colección de escultura romana. Aprovechando los trabajos de escaneado de las inscripciones, hace unas semanas, realizamos dos fotografías esféricas de la sala 20, que compartimos aquí.

Las fotografías están alojadas en Photosynth y, para visualizarlas en algunos navegadores deben instalar previamente un plugin. Te recomendamos la opción de visualización a pantalla completa, que permite disfrutar de la sensación de visitar la sala como si estuviéramos allí mismo, desde el techo al suelo y desde todos los ángulos.
