sAb Corpus Prosopographie

 [First posted in AWOL 3 January 2013, updated 27 September 2016]


sAb Corpus Prosopographie
Le présent ouvrage a pour objet de mettre à la disposition du lecteur une banque de données basique relative aux titres sAb à l’Ancien Empire et à la Première Période Intermédiaire. Elle s’articule autour de 79 titres regroupés en autant de sections,
chacune d’elles contenant les occurrences du titre que j’ai pu récolter.
Chaque occurrence fait l’objet d’une entrée numérotée comportant le nom du titulaire, l’époque, le lieu de la découverte (avec mention des coordonnées de la Topographical Bibliography de Porter et Moss lorsqu’elles sont disponibles) ou la référence muséale, une bibliographie sommaire, et la titulature du défunt à laquelle j’ai pu accéder.

Open Access Journal: Campbell Bonner Magical Gems Database Newsletter

Campbell Bonner Magical Gems Database Newsletter
By the end of 2012, with over nine-hundred gems present and more than thirty collections represented in the database, a fourth of the known corpus of magical gems has become accessible, while we are presently working on the upload of a similar amount. As the integration of new material naturally necessitates changes, having got this far, we have started to reconsider certain features of the database, to review what has been achieved until now and launch improvements in order to create not simply a corpus of magical gems, but also a research tool.  Our research on magical gems worldwide has been made possible by the ongoing support of Vacheron Constantin, Geneva. A standard grant of the International Visegrad Fund has allowed us to concentrate on ’Magical Gems in the Visegrad Countries’.

Open Access Journal: ArcheoMolise

[First posted in AWOL 2 June 2013, updated  26 September 2016]

ArcheoMolise
ISSN: 2036-3028
Il Centro Europeo di Ricerche Preistoriche è un' Associazione per la Ricerca scientifica ONLUS che fin dalla sua costituzione promuove ed attua interventi finalizzati allo sviluppo della ricerca scientifica e preistorica sul territorio molisano, nonché alla sua ampia valorizzazione e divulgazione anche in un contesto extraterritoriale ed internazionale.

Il programma di interventi annuali ha sempre puntato alla continuazione delle ricerche esplorative sul sito archeologico di Isernia La Pineta, quale volano per il coinvolgimento di ricercatori, docenti e studenti stranieri e non, ma ha altresì mirato all’ampliamento delle conoscenze sulla preistoria molisana, attivando una serie di interventi sistematici sull’intero territorio della provincia di Isernia.

I risultati importanti raggiunti nel corso degli anni hanno portato alla pubblicazione dei ritrovamenti su specifiche riviste scientifiche, nonché su monografie che oggi costituiscono il substrato editoriale di una Collana Ricerche, edita dal Centro e conosciuta anche all’estero.

Le attività di ricerca sul campo si caratterizzano quale base imprescindibile per la predisposizione di un progetto di valorizzazione e divulgazione delle realtà archeologiche e preistoriche presenti sul territorio molisano, oggi in fase avanzata di realizzazione e la cui continuità si configura come garanzia per mantenere vivo l’interesse a livello internazionale verso queste realtà archeologiche, fondamentali per la comprensione della preistoria europea (il sito paleolitico di Isernia La Pineta e le aree limitrofe ivi individuate: Grotta Reali a Rocchetta a Volturno, Colle delle Api a Monteroduni, San Mauro a Carovilli, La Montagnola di Civitanova del Sannio, Rio Verde di Pescopennataro)

Archive of the XML files of the Mannheim / Heidelberg CAMENA Neo-Latin project

Archive of the XML files of the Mannheim / Heidelberg CAMENA Neo-Latin project

CAMENA - Latin Texts of Early Modern Europe: the XML files

Background

CAMENA (Corpus Automatum Multiplex Electorum Neolatinitatis Auctorum), a DFG-funded research project carried out at the German Department of Heidelberg University Chair of German Literature (Modern Period), in cooperation with the Information Technology Center and the Library of the University of Mannheim, and led by Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Kühlmann, was active from 1999 to 2013; we particularly thank the spiritus movens of Wolfgang Schibel, as well as Reinhard Gruhl, Emir Zuljevic, Heinz Kredel, and other members of the team.

In our opinion, CAMENA was one of the most important Neo-Latin digital initiatives. Since its machine-readable texts were made available under the Creative Commons Attribution / Share Alike license, here we are republishing the XML files of all the CAMENA collections as a Github repository, with all the caveats of the original project regarding citing and reliability, and with the intent to enable further digital experiments with CAMENA Neo-Latin material.

Again, sincere gratitude goes to colleagues involved in CAMENA for all their efforts, and for making this possible. Sumus nani gigantum humeris insidentes.

Contents

In CAMENA, the texts are divided in five collections: POEMATA, Neo-Latin poetry composed by German authors; HISTORICA & POLITICA, Latin historical and political writing; THESAURUS ERUDITIONIS, a reference collection of dictionaries and handbooks of the period 1500-1750; CERA, printed Latin letters, mostly by German scholars, from the period 1530-1770; and ITALI, works by Italian Renaissance humanists born before 1500. The collection ITALI has no XML files, so it was not included in this repository.

We were not able to find information on the exact number of XML files produced by CAMENA. This repository contains 949 XML files in the POEMATA section, 382 files in the HISTORICA & POLITICA, 296 files in the THESAURUS ERUDITIONIS, and 124 files in CERA, with the total of 1751 files. These files contain 50,458,045 words (tokens) below the text element (more on this in Word count).

Not all CAMENA XML files provide full text of the digitized source. For example, the file Arenhold_conspectus_index_II.xml in CERA offers only the table of contents to the digitized volume of Arenhold, Silvester Johannes: Conspectus Bibliothecae Universalis Historico-Literario-Criticae Epistolarum : Typis Expressarum Et M[anu]S[crip]tarum, Illustrium Omnis Aevi Et Eruditissimorum Auctorum. - Hanoverae : Sumptibus Hereduum [!] Foersterianorum, 1746. In the CAMENA-CERA version, the table of contents contains links to respective page images of the digitized book. We did not try to exclude such partial XML publications from this repository.

Iconography of Deities and Demons in the Ancient Near East

[First posted in AWOL 4 March 2010. Updated 23 September 2016]

IDD - Iconography of Deities and Demons in the Ancient Near East
http://www.religionswissenschaft.uzh.ch/idd/bilder/idd-titel.jpg
Iconography of Deities and Demons in the Ancient Near East (IDD) is designed as a companion to the Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible (DDD), edited by Karel van der Toorn, Bob Becking and Pieter van der Horst (Leiden: Brill, 2nd edition 1999). Its focus will be on visual sources, which are essential for interpreting the religious symbol systems of antiquity. 

IDD will not restrict itself to DDD's selection of lemmata. As a matter of fact, numerous DDD lemmata do not have visual correlatives; on the other hand, visual sources attest 'icon types', which cannot always be identified or labeled with a divine name. Moreover, while DDD demonstrates how many of the Near Eastern deities and demons have found their place into the Bible in some way or another, there are others, including major deities, who are not mentioned in the Bible and thus remain absent from DDD. 

Our project aims at restoring the balance by establishing a selection of lemmata on an historical and archaeological basis: IDD should refer to all major deities and demons of the areas covered, regardless of whether they are attested in the Bible or not. On the other hand, in order to control the material boundaries of IDD, we take the 'biblical world' to cover the Eastern Mediterranean and Near Eastern area to the extent that were part of the biblical writers' geographical horizon. Wherever possible, reference will be made to visual evidence attested on objects recovered from known archaeological contexts in Palestine/Israel.
