Announcing the Perseus Catalog, release 1.0

The Perseus Digital Library is pleased to announce the 1.0 Release of the Perseus Catalog.
The Perseus Catalog is an attempt to provide systematic catalog access to at least one online edition of every major Greek and Latin author (both surviving and fragmentary) from antiquity to 600 CE. Still a work in progress, the catalog currently includes 3,679 individual works (2,522 Greek and 1,247 Latin), with over 11,000 links to online versions of these works (6,419 in Google Books, 5,098 to the Internet Archive, 593 to the Hathi Trust). The Perseus interface now includes links to the Perseus Catalog from the main navigation bar, and also from within the majority of texts in the Greco-Roman collection.

The metadata contained within the catalog has utilized the MODS and MADS standards developed by the Library of Congress as well as the Canonical Text Services and CTS-URN protocols developed by the Homer Multitext Project.  The Perseus catalog interface uses the open source Blacklight Project interface and Apache Solr. Stable, linkable canonical URIs have been provided for all textgroups, works, editions and translations in the Catalog for both HTML and ATOM output formats. The ATOM output format provides access to the source CTS, MODS and MADS metadata for the catalog records. Subsequent releases will make all catalog data available as RDF triples.

Other major plans for the future of the catalog include not only the addition of more authors and works as well as links to online versions but also to open up the catalog to contributions from users. Currently the catalog does not include any user contribution or social features other than standard email contact information but the goal is to soon support the creation of user accounts and the contribution of recommendations, corrections and or new metadata.

Follow the links above for comments from Editor-in-Chief Gregory Crane on the history and purpose of the catalog.

Factum Foundation

Factum Foundation is a registered Foundation, established in 2009 and based in Spain, dedicated to the development and use of non-contact high-resolution digital recording as part of a coherent approach to the preservation, understanding and public exhibition of objects from our cultural heritage.

Advances in digital technology are dramatically and radically changing our understanding and appreciation of our shared cultural heritage. Science and technology are assisting art by providing forensically accurate information to both specialists and an interested public.
The foundation is dedicated to demonstrating that the way we understand the original object is part of a dynamic process and not a fixed state of being. When the dynamic nature of originality is successfully presented, works of art come alive - their complex biographies inform the present and influence the future.  When viewed in this way they cease to be discrete objects to be viewed in museums and become complex subjects that can reveal their past (and also reveal how they have been valued and cared for by previous generations in diverse locations). Read more

Open Access

By Peter Suber

Overview

The Internet lets us share perfect copies of our work with a worldwide audience at virtually no cost. We take advantage of this revolutionary opportunity when we make our work “open access”: digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. Open access is made possible by the Internet and copyright-holder consent, and many authors, musicians, filmmakers, and other creators who depend on royalties are understandably unwilling to give their consent. But for 350 years, scholars have written peer-reviewed journal articles for impact, not for money, and are free to consent to open access without losing revenue.

In this concise introduction, Peter Suber tells us what open access is and isn’t, how it benefits authors and readers of research, how we pay for it, how it avoids copyright problems, how it has moved from the periphery to the mainstream, and what its future may hold. Distilling a decade of Suber’s influential writing and thinking about open access, this is the indispensable book on the subject for researchers, librarians, administrators, funders, publishers, and policy makers.

The Inscriptions of Israel/Palestine

The Inscriptions of Israel/Palestine project seeks to collect and make accessible over the Web all of the previously published inscriptions (and their English translations) of Israel/Palestine from the Persian period through the Islamic conquest (ca. 500 BCE - 640 CE). There are about 15,000 of these inscriptions, written primarily in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and Latin, by Jews, Christians, Greeks, and Romans. They range from imperial declarations on monumental architecture to notices of donations in synagogues to humble names scratched on ossuaries, and include everything in between.

There are approximately 1,500 inscriptions currently in the database, with more added regularly. These inscriptions can be accessed via the "Search" Button on the left. 

Inscriptions of Israel/Palestine is an ongoing project at Brown University. It has been generously supported by the Center of Digital Scholarship and the Office of the Vice President of Research at Brown University. We welcome your feedback.

 Inscriptiones Graecae: Elektronische Edition

Inschriften sind die Fußnoten im Buch der Geschichte der alten Welt; nur daß über weite Strecken der Haupttext fehlt.

Inschriften sind Primärquellen zur Geschichte, Religionsgeschichte, Sprachwissenschaft, Onomastik usw., die die antiken Autoren ergänzen, illustrieren, korrigieren. Jede Inschrift ist ein Original. Meist verstümmelt gefunden, sind sie in hohem Maße der Ergänzung und Interpretation bedürftig. Mitunter gelingt es, verstreute Fragmente ein- und derselben Inschrift zusammenzusetzen. Der Zustrom an neuen Inschriften hält unvermindert an: jährlich werden ca. 1000 neu publiziert.

Inschriften sind in der Regel auf Metall eingeritzt oder punziert, auf Stein eingemeißelt und mit Farbe (rot, blau) ausgelegt. Qualität und Menge der Inschriften ist abhängig von den zur Verfügung stehenden Gesteinen. Metallplatten sind besonders auf der Peloponnes verbreitet. Bleiplättchen werden, zusammengerollt, für Verwünschungen bevorzugt. Silber und Gold sind äußerst selten. Die ältesten Inschriften stammen aus dem 8. Jh. v.Chr. Es gibt keinen Zwischenraum zwischen den Worten (scriptio continua); Interpunktionen finden sich in frühester Zeit willkürlich, in der Kaiserzeit nach röm. Vorbild gelegentlich; dann auch Abkürzungen.

Der Inhalt der Inschriften äußerst mannigfach. Am häufigsten sind Grabinschriften auf Grabstelen (mit Relief), -säulen, -altären: Namen der Toten und Gruß. Eine besondere Form bilden Grabgedichte - Weih-Inschriften an die Götter, oft auf dem geweihten Gegenstand selbst angebracht; häufig nach einem Sieg bei sportlichen oder musischen Agonen gestiftet [16]. - Ehren-Inschriften, vor allem Unterschriften von Statuen, erst seit dem 4.Jh. v.Chr. häufiger, in röm. Zeit massenhaft. - Bildhauer-Inschriften, in denen sich der ausführende Künstler nennt. - Dekrete mit den Beschlüssen der Gesamtgemeinde oder ihrer Abteilungen und Vereine, im Formular in den einzelnen Poleis verschieden. Es überwiegen Ehrendekrete für Bürger anderer Poleis, Könige, römische Magistrate, denen das Ehrenbürgerrecht (Proxenie) verliehen wird. - Freilassungsurkunden von Sklaven, oft als (fiktiver) Verkauf an eine Gottheit vollzogen und in deren Tempel dokumentiert. - Grenz- und Hypothekensteine (horoi). - Gesetze und Regelungen privatrechtlicher sowie öffentlicher und sakraler Angelegenheiten bis hin zur Kodifizierung geltenden Rechts. - Religiöse Texte, Hymnen (mit Noten). - Briefe von hellenistischen Königen und römischen Kaisern. - Bauinschriften, Abrechnungs-Urkunden, Inventarlisten von sakralem Gerät. - Listen und Kataloge von Gegenständen (z.B. auf den Schiffen der athenischen Flotte) und Personen (z.B. von eponymen Beamten, Priestern). - Zwischenstaatliche Urkunden (Asylieurkunden, Staatsverträge, Akten der Rechtssprechung).

Die Sammlung der antiken Inschriften wurde im Jahre 1815 von der Preußischen Akademie der Wissenschaften auf Antrag von August Boeckh beschlossen. In den vier Bänden des "Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum" wurden 1828-1859 alle damals bekannten Inschriften gesammelt und kommentiert. Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff vereinte 1902 das Prinzip der Autopsie mit dem der Vollständigkeit, beschränkte zugleich die auf 15 Bände geplanten "Inscriptiones Graecae" (IG) auf Griechenland, Italien und die Inseln der Ägäis. Zur Aktualisierung der Sammlung sind Neuauflagen (editio altera) sowie Supplementbände vorgesehen.

Die digitale Edition enthält, beginnend mit dem im Jahre 2001 erschienenen Band IG IX 1², 4, Texte und deutsche Übersetzungen aller Inschriften; die Aufnahme von Übersetzungen in anderen Sprachen ist vorgesehen. In den Übersetzungen wurde auf diakritische Zeichen weitgehend verzichtet; Ergänzungen sind nicht eigens gekennzeichnet, sondern ergeben sich aus dem Vergleich mit der Edition. In bestimmten Fällen sind weitergehende Ergänzungen aus dem kritischen Apparat in eckigen Klammern [ ] wiedergegeben; für den Sinnzusammenhang notwendige sowie erklärende Zusätze sind durch runde Klammern ( ) kenntlich gemacht. Lücken gleich welchen Umfangs werden einheitlich durch "- - -" gekennzeichnet. Alle Zeitangaben sind v. Chr., sofern nicht anders angegeben. Die Abkürzungen "S. d." (= "Sohn des") und "T. d." (= Tochter des") umschreiben das griechische Patronymikon.

AVI : Attic Vase Inscriptions : Attische Vaseninschriften
Wachter, Rudolf

AVI (Attic Vase Inscriptions / Attische Vaseninschriften) is an extended and web-based continuation and development of Henry R. Immerwahr's CAVI (Corpus of Attic Vase Inscriptions). AVI's main part is the interactive database, which is now ready in its preliminary version, but we also provide informations about the project's prehistory (by Henry Immerwahr), protohistory, and present and future aims, bibliography (more than 3000 titles), as well as some texts on alphabets and phonology of the Attic dialect.

You can download Henry Immerwahr's original CAVI as a pdf (version of January 2008, 7.7 MB, new versionof January 2009, 6.8 MB, here mirrored from the original website, see also http://www.lib.unc.edu/dc/attic/index.html).

CAVI has been completely integrated into the AVI database, whereby, as a first step, the bibliographical references and many more things have been unified in order to make them searchable. The content has not been changed, however, except for small additions by R.W., added in double square brackets [[...]], and quite a few corrections, mainly in the bibliographical sections.

On 17 February 2010, I was happy to present our new site, designed and programmed by Simone Hiltscher. It replaces the first site of 2004. In the meantime many new features have been added, mainly in the bibliographical section. On 13 December our search form was put online, which allows you to search the database according to precise criteria. In February 2011, the free text search followed, which has now been brought to near perfection. The next step will be the entry form for additions and corrections. The next step will be the entry form for additions and corrections. And finally, there will be photographs. So do come back regularly!

We hope you will find AVI useful and interesting, and we will welcome all contributions and comments, made by e-mail for the time being, but soon also directly into the database.

An ancient place, cited: BAtlas 72 D2 Pediaios fl.

An ancient place, cited: BAtlas 50 D4 Olynthos

Mycenae was an ancient settlement of the Argolid, with the earliest occupation evident ca. 2900 BC. As the eponymous site of the Mycenaean culture of the Aegean Bronze Age, the site flourishes as a fortified citadel during the mid to late second millennium BC. In the first millennium BC, the site experiences a revival of fortunes, although by Strabo's time the settlement had vanished.
