Open Access Journal: Résumés d'archéologie suisse: époque romaine

ISSN: 1010-8459 
Institut d'archéologie et des sciences de l'Antiquité, Université de Lausanne (éd.) ; rédaction: Monique Hofstetter, Emmanuel Abetel ; réunis par Dieter Holstein.

An. 1, 1981 - 28, 2008 (PDF 14591 KB)
Les „Résumés d’archéologie suisse, Epoque romaine“ (RAS-ER) forment une série de bibliographies annuelles avec de brefs résumés des ouvrages de recherche portant sur l’époque romaine en Suisse, parus dans les années 1981-2008. Ils sont liés à une série semblable sur les périodes allant du Paléolithique à La Tène (RAS-PL) pour les années 1984-2010. Les objets ou sujets qui touchent à des aspects aussi bien préhistoriques que romains figurent dans l’une des deux séries, toutefois avec un renvoi à l’autre. L’édition des deux séries ainsi que de la version PDF a été largement soutenue par l’Académie suisse des sciences humaines et sociales (ASSH).

Le document PDF disponible en ligne depuis avril 2013 est basé sur les fascicules 1981 à 2008 imprimés des RAS Epoque romaine, publiés entre 1982 et 2013 par l’Institut d’archéologie et des sciences de l’Antiquité de l’Université de Lausanne et par Archéologie Suisse („Société suisse de préhistoire et d’archéologie“ jusqu’en 2005).


A l’exception de quelques petites corrections rédactionnelles, les résumés corres-pondent aux textes de la version imprimée. Le fait de pouvoir désormais travailler avec un seul document numérique plutôt qu’avec 29 tomes imprimés présente un avantage. De plus, les index géographique et thématique regroupés facilitent la recherche par sujet (dans la version imprimée, les index n’étaient cumulés que tous les cinq ans). 

Mathematics and Mathematical Astronomy

Mathematics and Mathematical Astronomy
I hope to make available public domain materials that are essential for the study of ancient and early modern mathematics and mathematical astronomy. Google, for example, has done some things to achieve this through its books.google.com project. However, like most other efforts at digitally copying non digital materials, "mistakes were made". For example, Google currently has several (all incomplete) versions of Teubner's's edition of Euclid available for download. Most of these unfortunately contain page after page that are illegible, missing, out of order or otherwise unusable.

Most of the works available here were made by repairing the imperfect Google scans. This repairing has taken the form of replacing illegible or missing pages of one Google text with readable pages from another Google scan of the same text, splicing together readable portions of pages with Photoshop, replacing missing pages with scans from a local library, and replacing missing pages with transcriptions in TeX, a mathematical typesetting software, from copies that are too brittle to scan...

Poeti d'Italia in lingua latina tra medioevo e rinascimento

Poeti d'Italia in lingua latina tra medioevo e rinascimento
http://www.mqdq.it/mqdq/poetiditalia/immagini/poeti-ita.jpg

Un programma di ricerca verbale sulla versificazione latina di autori italiani, dalla nascita di Dante alla metà del cinquecento.
Il progetto di ricerca “Poeti d'Italia in lingua latina” è nato nel 1999 con lo scopo di individuare, censire, raccogliere e digitalizzare i componimenti latini in versi, prodotti nell'area geografica o in ambienti culturali italiani, entro il periodo compreso all'incirca fra la nascita di Dante e la prima metà del Cinquecento.
Carmi di autori celebri e testi anonimi di ogni genere, pubblicati attraverso edizioni a stampa (talvolta recenti e rigorose, non di rado antiquate e immetodiche), ovvero passati dai manoscritti delle biblioteche a supporti cartacei dalla circolazione scarsissima (come ad esempio le tesi di laurea, sino a pochi anni fa ancora battute a macchina), o del tutto rimasti inediti nei fogli dei codici: quanto si poteva trovare sta transitando agli archivi elettronici, cui un annesso motore di ricerca verbale consente di accedere per l'immediata interrogazione.

Open Access Books from the Library of the Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée - Lyon

[First posted in AWOL 21 July 2009, most recently updated 5 August 2016]

La Bibliothèque numérique - DIGIMOM

[n.b.  This collection seems now to appear also in the context of e-corpus]
La Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée a initié un projet de numérisation d’ouvrages libres de droit couvrant les thèmes de recherche de ses équipes. Appelés à se diversifier et à se développer régulièrement, les fonds numérisés appartiennent pour l’instant aux domaines de l’égyptologie et de la civilisation gréco-latine, qu’il s’agisse d’histoire, d’archéologie ou de textes classiques. La plupart des ouvrages concernés datent de la fin du 19ème ou du début du 20ème siècle. Plusieurs ouvrages issus du fonds des livres rares, anciens ou précieux ont également été sélectionnés, notamment les récits des grandes expéditions scientifiques du 19e siècle. Les pages des ouvrages sont numérisées en mode image, à une résolution moyenne de 180 dpi. On utilise à cette fin un scanner pour livres précieux (Digibook 5600), pour les pages de texte et les planches en niveaux de gris, ainsi que différents scanners à plat pour les planches en couleur. Les fichiers subissent ensuite un traitement leur permettant d’être facilement consultables sur le web (passage du format TIFF au format JPEG et abaissement de la résolution à 150 dpi).
