Der Band enthält die Beiträge zum XXIV. Symposion der Internationalen
Gesellschaft für griechische und hellenistische Rechtsgeschichte, das
vom 2. bis 4. September 2024 an der Universität Mailand stattfand. Er
umfasst 15 Vorträge und 14 „Antworten“, die der Untersuchung neuer
Dokumente und der Neuinterpretation bereits bekannter Texte gewidmet
sind. Das Ziel ist, wie auch bei den anderen Bänden der Symposion-Reihe,
die neuesten Forschungsergebnisse und Perspektiven im Bereich des
öffentlichen und privaten Rechts der klassischen und hellenistischen
Zeiten vorzustellen. Die bemerkenswerte thematische Vielfalt schließt
eine grundlegende Kohärenz in Bezug auf Inhalte, Methoden und Ansätze
der Beiträge nicht aus. Die zentralen Themen der 29 Beiträge sind unter
anderem: Recht, Rechtskultur und Gesellschaft, das griechische Recht in
der archaischen Zeit, Verträge und Verpflichtungen, das Recht der
kretischen Städte sowie die Institutionen der griechischen Städte in der
hellenistischen Zeit. Der Band wird durch ein analytisches Verzeichnis
der zitierten und besprochenen Quellen ergänzt.
There are a number of exciting new development so discuss at Perseus!
To begin with, a long planned move of the Scaife Viewer to the Tufts IT
infrastructure has finally occurred.
Another common request has been the addition of more reference works
found in P4 such as commentaries on individual authors (e.g. Cicero,
Sophocles, Homer), which form an integral part of the P4 reading
environment. We are happy to announce that the first steps towards both
of these requested features have been taken and are now available for
use on the Scaife Viewer. This post will give a brief overview of these
new features.
A Perseus Dictionary Widget
While individual morphological analysis (the P4 Word Study Tool)
for Greek words has been available on Scaife for some time, for the
first time a Perseus dictionary widget is now available for all Greek
and Latin texts. The interface attempts to default to the correct
dictionary for the current text (LSJ for Greek texts, Lewis & Short for Latin) but this is still a work in progress.
In order to use the dictionary, select the HIGHLIGHT option in the
TEXT MODE widget on the upper right (see Figure 1 below). Highlighting
any word will then 1) show its morphology, 2) search in the default
dictionary (LSJ in this example), and, 3) in some cases, provide a short
definition.
Figure 1: Example of morphology and dictionary results for the word τροφή in Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrranus.
The new dictionary widget is also available for all Latin texts, but in this case defaults to the Lewis and Short Dictionary.
The image below does not indicate the full length of the dictionary
entry, which can be scrolled down to view the numerous entries
(depending on the word).

The Beginning of a Commentary Integration
Although a number of Homeric texts have had commentaries from the New Alexandria Foundation
for a number of years, for the first time a limited number of Perseus
commentaries (from P4) are available in Scaife. The first collection of
commentaries that have been released are commentaries by Sir Richard
Jebb on the plays of Sophocles. Viewing the Oedipus Tyrannus once more (Figure 1 above), the Commentary widget is found beneath the Perseus Dictionaries and Short Definitions.
Figure 3: Example of a commentary now available for readingwith Sophocles Oedipus Tyrranus.
Clicking on the expansion icon in the Commentary widget panel (Figure
3 above) reveals all applicable commentary available for the selected
text section (with a scroll bar to read the full commentary as
illustrated in Figure 4 below)

Latin commentaries for the orations of Cicero are soon to follow!
Changes to the Interface
There have also been some changes made to the main interface to try
and make the reading environment a bit cleaner. There are a large number
of widgets available in the Scaife Viewer reading panel as well as
bibliographic information. As part of this new release, some
information has been relocated in order to present a more logical flow.
As seen in Figure 5 below, the right hand panel is now entirely
dedicated to word study and deeper reading tools including the word
highlighting feature, the morphology tool, the Perseus dictionaries,
commentaries (when available) and display settings such as text size and
width.
The left hand panel is dedicated to text navigation and information
regarding the text itself including the CTS-URN, the relevant passage,
the ability to Search the currently displayed text, Attributions for the
source file, the ability to Export the passage as text or XML, and a
link to this file in the relevant GitHub Repository.

This is just the beginning of what we hope will be a continuing
update of new texts and commentaries in Scaife. We are still working out
various issues so if you find any bugs or want to let us know what you
think, please email the Perseus webmaster or open a GitHub issue.
The Society's journal has been published, generally at two-year
intervals, since 1958. The papers included have mostly (but not
exclusively) been those presented at the corresponding congresses. It
has grown from 37 pages in A5 format for the first volume, to 619 pages
of A4 size in 2020; its scope includes all types of ceramic material
(excluding building material) attributable to the Roman period or
immediately before, and all parts of the world where Roman pottery has
been found. It thus constitutes an important resource for this field of
study.
For author guidelines and details of how to submit a paper, see the associated page Submissions. Accepted languages are English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Papers are peer-reviewed prior to acceptance.
The journal is now published simultaneously in print and in digital
form. Earlier volumes are also in the process of being digitized.
We are pleased to present a new volume of the RCRF Acta, resulting
from the conference held in Athens in September 2022. This event was
organized by Platon Petridis and Charikleia Diamanti, with the
collaboration of Chrysanti Sakellakou. The organization received
institutional support from the Department of History and Archaeology of
the School of Philosophy of the National and Kapodistrian University of
Athens, the Ephorate of Antiquities of Cyclades of the Ministry of
Culture of the Hellenic Republic, and the Byzantine and Christian Museum
of Athens.
The main theme was “Linking Pots: Manufacturing and selling Roman
pottery in the Eastern Mediterranean,” but the presentations went far
beyond this area and involved the vast regions that were an integral
part of the Roman Empire. As usual, the focus of Rei Cretariae Romanae Fautores,
founded in 1957 by Howard Comfort and Elisabeth Ettlinger, is the
advancement of understanding about trade and economy, society, and
culture during Antiquity through the study of the diverse categories of
Roman pottery. In this international learned society, members preserve
the founding spirit of the association, recognizing the crucial role
that ceramics studies play in understanding the societies and economies
of the ancient Roman world across its various regions and provinces.
The 60 articles gathered in this volume shed new light on traditional
fields of Roman pottery studies such as typological series, chronology,
local and regional production, and import trends (including fine ware,
common ware, and amphorae), as well as manufacture processes.
Additionally, methodological approaches and archaeometry were not
neglected.
Collectively, the volume presents a variety of perspectives where
researchers are invited, through pottery, to discuss and analyse
economic, social, and cultural transformations, thus contributing to the
advancement of historical knowledge of the contexts in question, from
the Hellenistic period to Late Antiquity.
The Rei Cretariae Romanae Fautores is an international learned
society that brings together researchers from the territory that once
belonged to the Roman Empire and from far beyond, united in the goal of
developing Roman ceramics studies at its most diverse categories.
Founded by Howard Comfort and Elisabeth Ettlinger in 1957, its members
keep the original spirit of the association alive, convinced of the
vital importance of ceramics studies to the interpretation of the
societies and economies of the ancient Roman world, across its different
regions and provinces.
Acta 46 comprises 64 articles. Out of the 120 scheduled lectures
and posters presented at the 31st Congress of the Rei Cretariæ Romanæ
Favtores, 61 are included in the present volume, to which three further
were added. Given the location of the conference in Romania it seems
natural that the number of articles related to the Balkans and Danube
region is the largest (with 20 articles), followed by contributions
concerning Italy (15), and the Iberian Peninsula (13). The 'rest of the
world' is split between the Roman provinces in the East (eight papers),
in North-Africa (six), and in central and western Europe (two).
Michael von Albrecht stellt in seinen „Sermones“ Satiren über
Gegenwartsprobleme und die moderne Gesellschaft in einer lateinischen
und einer deutschen Version vor. Die Themen sind: Neugier,
Lebensmittelverschwendung, Hundehaltung, Zukunftsforschung,
Umweltschutz, Corona, Kriege, Wahrheit, alte Leute, Reklame. Immer
stehen dem sowohl enzyklopädisch gebildeten als auch humanen Autor die
Vergleiche mit antiken und modernen Ereignissen und Denkweisen zur
Verfügung. Die Sermones werden so zu einem ebenso ästhetischen wie
menschlichen Erlebnis. Sie sind Kunst und Vergnügen, sie sind belehrend
und aufklärend, sie sind menschlich und aktivierend: eine Ars Didactica
Humana. Die Beiträge von Michael Lobe und Hans-Joachim Glücklich
versuchen, die Freude des Lesens zu erhöhen, geben
Hintergrundinformationen und machen Vorschläge, wie man auch ohne
umfassende Lateinkenntnisse die deutsche und die lateinische Version
genießen kann.
Angelo Clareno (v. 1260-1337), figure majeure de la dissidence franciscaine, est surtout connu pour ses lettres et ses Chroniques du
premier siècle de l’Ordre des Frères Mineurs. Cette part bien étudiée
de son œuvre personnelle a éclipsé une autre contribution essentielle :
la traduction en latin d’un vaste corpus de textes patristiques et
ascétiques grecs jusqu’alors inconnus de l’Occident latin. Cette
entreprise, exceptionnelle pour son époque, a connu des fortunes
diverses. Le succès le plus spectaculaire concerne la Scala Paradisi de
Jean Climaque. Transmise par plus d’une centaine de manuscrits latins
et rapidement traduite en langues vernaculaires, la version clarénienne a
fait de Climaque une autorité reconnue en Occident dès le premier tiers
du XIVe siècle. À l’inverse, la Grande Lettre du pseudo-Macaire n’a
subsisté que dans un unique manuscrit et n’a semble-t-il rencontré aucun
écho. Entre ces deux cas, la Lettre à Cyriaque (attribuée alors à
Jean Chrysostome) a connu une diffusion moyenne, principalement dans
les régions germaniques et slaves. En explorant et retraçant les chemins
parcourus par les manuscrits qui renferment les textes traduits par
Clareno en Grèce, puis en Italie, l’ouvrage montre que son activité de
traducteur fut encore plus vaste qu’on ne le pensait. Outre les vastes
corpus de textes de la Scala et des Ascétiques de Basile, la Grande Lettre et les Cent cinquante chapitres du pseudo-Macaire, la lettre du pseudo-Chrysostome, il a également traduit des extraits des Discours de Grégoire de Nazianze, un florilège de Maxime le Confesseur, la Lettre à Marcellin d’Athanase d’Alexandrie et un texte de Grégoire de Nysse.
Quaderni di Vicino Oriente is an archaeological journal of Sapienza University of Rome.
Quaderni di Vicino Oriente journal is published yearly and deals with
Art, Archaeology, Epigraphy and History of the ancient Near and Middle
East, Egypt and Mediterranean, Prehistory, and Phoenician-Punic topics.
The Journal hosts reports of excavations currently carried on by
Sapienza University of Rome and other research Institutions in the Near
and Middle East, Egypt and the Mediterranean; proceedings of
international conferences held in Rome by Sapienza University of Rome,
and outcomes of research projects in progress in the same field of
studies.
Papers submitted to the Editorial Board must be typed according to
author guidelines and must be submitted through the appropriate e-mail
address (info@journal-vo.it). Proposed papers are submitted to single-blind review and, when accepted, they are subjected to the editorial procedure.
Archaeology & Artificial Intelligence is a short essay
offering a critical reflection on the role of artificial intelligence in
archaeological research. The volume reviews the main fields of AI
application – from remote sensing and artefact classification to 3D
reconstruction and epigraphy – highlighting both their potential and
their limits. At the core of the book lies the distinction between data
processing and historical interpretation: AI can enhance the
archaeologist’s work, but it cannot replace human judgement. The result
is a balanced assessment of AI as a valuable tool, provided it is used
with methodological awareness and critical sense.

The AWOL Index: The bibliographic data presented herein has been programmatically extracted from the content of AWOL - The Ancient World Online (ISSN 2156-2253) and formatted in accordance with a structured data model.
AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University
AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.
The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.
The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.
