Abstract The ancient sanctuary of Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games and of athletic competion in general, has been fascinating people from antiquity up to the present time. In the present volume, all inscriptions - large and small - published after Dittenberger's edition are collected, critically edited, translated into German, and commented. Complete Greek and Latin indices make the inscriptions easily accessible to all scholars interested in the ancient Olympic Games, in the history of religion and sports, and in classical studies in general.
Das Heiligtum von Olympia fasziniert die Menschen von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart. Uber seine Geschichte und den Ablauf der dort abgehaltenen Spiele erhalten wir authentische Informationen von antiken Schriftstellern wie Pausanias, durch Grabungsfunde und -befunde, vor allem aber auch durch die dort gefundenen Inschriften. Die vorliegende Publikation vereint nun die seit 1896 veröffentlichten Texte und ermoglicht somit eine vollständige Ubersicht über die epigraphischen Zeugnisse auf Stein, Metall und Keramik.

Middle Euphrates Digital Archive Online

(First posted in AWOL 11 October 2011. Updated 23 August 2013)

Middle Euphrates Digital Archive
The Middle Euphrates Digital Archive is an ongoing project of the Dipartimento di Studi Asiatici, the Università degli Studi di Napoli "L'Orientale". It was conceived and carried out by Dr. Francesco Di Filippo, under the supervision of Prof. Carlo Zaccagnini, and with the financial support of the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MIUR). The project also benefited from the pioneered work of Dr. Stefano Bassetti (a former student of Prof. Carlo Zaccagnini at the University of Bologna), who in the late 80's carried out a comprehensive encoding of the Emar corpus.

At present the online database includes all Emar texts published to date ‒ originating from the regular excavation or from the antiquities market ‒, thus representing the first thesaurus of this wealthy Late Bronze Age Syrian archive.

demo.fragmentarytexts.org
demo.fragmentarytexts.org is a site complementary to Fragmentary Texts and its aim is to experiment tools and devise methods for representing quotations and text re-uses of lost authors and works (i.e., those pieces of information about lost authors that humanists call "fragments"). Print collections of fragmentary texts are collections of textual excerpts drawn from many different sources and arranged according to various criteria, such as chronological order or thematic disposition. The length of these excerpts can be significantly different from one edition to another and depends on the editor’s choice. The aim of a digital collection of fragmentary texts is to go beyond the limits of print collections and express fragmentary sources in a more dynamic and interconnected way. 

We begin by presenting different examples from ancient Greek authors (Plutarch and Athenaeus), whose texts are rich of quotations and text re-uses of lost works. The Revolt of Samos is a section where we have chosen the tradition of the Athenian suppression of the revolt of Samos (441-439 BC) to provide a test case for designing a "synoptical representation" of primary sources. We are also working on a section about Istros the Callimachean, whose goal is to present differences between a traditional print edition and a new digital one of the same fragmentary author. The first aim of these experiments is to visualize quotations inside their contexts of transmission, which is the basic requirement to understand the origin of a text re-use and its meaning.
