<blockquote>The project aims to study magical drawings and designs in the corpus of magical formularies. The database is an effort of systematization to grant access to all the essential information to interpret magical drawings in its contexts and in relation to other magical designs. It is a practical tool that will allow people interested in magical rituals to obtain the material, textual, and iconographical information of all the drawings appearing in magical formularies, to facilitate the comprehension of the magical prescription as a whole. This project was started granted by the BBVA Foundation Grants for Researchers and Cultural Creators and funded by the BBVA Foundation in 2015. Its development is part of the results of the project "Interpretación y análisis de los textos en papiro de las colecciones españolas: sociedad, religión y derecho" financed by the Ministry of Sciences and Innovation and the project “Transmission of Magical Knowledge. The Papyrus Magical Handbooks in Context” funded by Neubauer Collegium at the University of Chicago.</blockquote>

==Description==

Taken from the project website (Accessed 2021-10-05):
<blockquote>The ERC project HUNAYNNET is the first attempt at compiling a digital trilingual and linguistically annotated parallel corpus of Greek classical scientific and philosophical literature and the Syriac and Arabic translations thereof. The impact of the Syriac tradition upon the Arabic translations has so far been acknowledged but not thoroughly explored. Compared with the extant body of Graeco-Arabic translation literature, the available Graeco-Syriac translations constitute just a small fraction of texts. The very availability of that relatively small group of texts in all three languages requires therefore comparative examination. The present corpus presents all and only those classical Greek scientific and philosophical works that are preserved in all three languages.

Presenting the Greek originals along with all extant Syriac and Arabic versions in aligned and digitally enhanced parallel columns, the present corpus enables the user to compare directly the terminology and phraseology of all versions, to spot at a glance corresponding passages in all three languages, to get an idea of the translator’s accurateness and reliability, to check textual disparities between the different versions, to assess the significance of the Syriac and Arabic versions for the critical establishment of the Greek texts, and to retrieve external lexicographical information on any word in any text. Furthermore, the present corpus will contribute to the still pending question as to which Arabic translations were made directly from the Greek and which were prepared on the bases of Syriac intermediaries.

Drawing on online lexicography and corpus linguistics, the full-text database is enhanced by a linguistic corpus management system providing various kinds of more specific lexicographical and linguistic search tools for all texts included in the present trilingual parallel corpus, such as word or phrase queries, frequency analyses, cross-linguistic concordances or word lists.

The two open-access databases thus create new instruments for multi-disciplinary studies of the history of the transmission of Greek scientific and philosophical literature in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

The project is funded by a Starting Grant of the European Research Council (Grant Agreement No. 679083, Principal Investigator: Grigory Kessel, Project acronym: HUNAYNNET). It is hosted by the Austrian Academy of Sciences and is undertaken in cooperation with the Ruhr University of Bochum.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Small lead tablets inscribed in Greek or Latin with private curses against rivals or wrongdoers reveal a darker side of ancient life that is often hidden from us in our sources for ancient history. This project aims at a general study of these texts found throughout the Mediterranean basin and beyond. These texts have generally been studied as a unified corpus with little emphasis on the local context of their deposit in tombs, sanctuaries and bodies of water or on the local features of dialect and Paleography. Carefully excavated hoards from Greece, Italy and Roman Germany allow us new opportunities to study these curses in their archeological context. This project requires a combination of technical skills: restoration, imaging, paleography, archaeology, and historical and religious studies. A series of meetings will provide a platform to new editions of texts and general studies of important aspects never considered in the past.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Interpersonal ‘friendship’ relations played a major role in the establishment and development of the Roman Empire: its power was not solely based on its military prowess, but also on the loyalty and voluntary support of external kings or elites, who often held the official rank of ''amici populi Romani''. The main targets for inclusion into the APR collection are all individuals outside of Italy that were made friends of the Romans either on the official level or less formally with an individual Roman aristocrat. Some female dynasts are also listed, either by virtue of their own status as ''amicae'', or, more often, to clarify genealogical uncertainties of their more prominent male counterparts. In the same vein, other close relatives who are known to have played important roles are included as well. Further entries on successors or even rivals of such ''amici'' are included, in the hope that detailed knowledge of them may help us better understand the extent but also limitations of diplomatic friendship with Rome. Most entries fall into the period stretching from the Hannibalic War (218-201 BC) to the Flavian period (AD 69-96), but these are not strict temporal limits. At one end, the kings of Egypt have been included as far back as Ptolemy II Philadelphos, who entered into friendly relations with Rome in 273 BC; at the other, the Bosporan kings boast the longest continuous amicitia relations with Rome, attested as late as the 4th or 5th century AD.</blockquote>

Digital Atlas of the Roman Empire

2020-12-01T17:17:50Z

RositaLorito:

==Available==

* https://imperium.ahlfeldt.se/

==Author==

* Johan Åhlfeldt

==Description==

The '''Digital Atlas of the Roman Empire''' ('''DARE''') is a project on ancient geography hosted by Department of Archaeology and Classical History at Lund University.

A first version of a tiled base map of the Roman Empire was created in 2012 by the author, in collaboration with the Pelagios project, while a second version was created afterwards and became part of an online historical geographic information system (GIS) called the ''Digital Atlas of the Roman Empire'' (''DARE'') hosted by the Department of Archaeology and Classical History, Lund University, Sweden and available at http://dare.ht.lu.se. The map was inspired by the ''Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World'' (Talbert, 2000) and was built upon digitization efforts carried out by the Pleiades and DARMC projects even though it became necessary to return to the original map for additional data in order to produce a functional digital map. DARE aims at a much higher level of accuracy and the integration of digital resources such as satellite imagery, national topographic maps, source texts, other source material and scholarly literature. The Digital Atlas and its place database is an active project constantly updated.

The DARE has two main components, a gazetteer of places within the Roman Empire, including smaller units such as single forts and oppida, and a set of digital map-tiles featuring ancient places available in both Latin and Greek. The DARE map-tiles are available under CC licence, and have been used by a number of projects focusing on ancient geography, including [[Pelagios]] (that also funded the development), Itiner-e (a gazetteer of Roman roads) and PaTHS (a digital atlas of Coptic literature). Thanks to a subsequent grant in 2017, the DARE map tiles have been updated and vectorialised, making them easier to load and, in general, more efficient (see [[Roman Empire Vector Map]]).

Johan Åhlfeldt introduces the rationale of his project on a blog post for Pelagios Commons:

<blockquote>The ''Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World'' was published in 2000 as part of an international effort to create a comprehensive map and a directory of all ancient places mentioned in sources and a selection of important archaeological sites. Since then two digitization efforts based on the [[Barrington Atlas]] have come into being, [[Pleiades]], which started off as a historical gazetteer, and the [[DARMC]] project, which is a layered historical atlas. In 2010-2011, as part of a common project, the geodata of DARMC was transferred to Pleiades, though, unfortunately, not all the places in the original Barrington directory could be matched between DARMC and Pleiades, resulting in many places without precise coordinates and feature data. Nonetheless, ever since, the Pleiades gazetteer has had the ability to display most ancient places on a map, individually and with their immediate surroundings, using Google Maps API and Google Maps as background layer. In March 2012 the Ancient World Mapping Center launched a first version of an online GIS application called [[Antiquity À-la-carte]], covering the entire Greco-Roman World. This application is also based on the Barrington Atlas, on geodata from Pleiades/DARMC, and its own digitization efforts (roads, aqueducts, ancient coastlines).

Yet, while the DARMC and Antiquity à la carte initiatives provide geographical coverage and exiting possibilites to compose custom maps in layers, until now there has been no digital map that can be used as background layer for use in a fashion similar to modern mapping applications like Google Maps. Thanks to Pelagios, this is work that I have undertaken, with a view to aiding any archaeological or historical research interested in or using online mapping. We are releasing the map with a CC-BY license, allowing anyone not only to browse and consult it but also to use it for representing their own data or to build on it their own applications, provided that they include a proper scholarly attribution. What is more, the map can be used with OpenLayers, Google and Bing maps, so that anybody, who already has these systems in place, can easily swap out the map tiles for these historical ones.</blockquote>

In April 2009 a decisive restructuring allowed, on the one hand, to search by word in the Arabic texts - which is the greatest value of the Thesaurus - of the PC version, on the other hand the addition of photos, to the benefit of the precious photo library by Max van Berchem and other fonds. Since October 2011, it has been available [http://www.epigraphie-islamique.uliege.be/thesaurus/ online]. The ''Max van Berchem Foundation'' offers access to its site free of charge.
The 15th instalment of the ''Thesaurus d'Epigraphie Islamique'' was released in June 2020; its name is "Edition 2020". It contains inscriptions from Eastern Europe grouped together with the 14 previous instalments which cover Maghreb countries, the Arabian Peninsula, Central (ex-Soviet) Asia, Egypt, the Indian World, Sub-Saharan Africa, Iraq, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, Near East, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Caucasus, Russia and Ukraine. Approximately 49'000 epigraphical files of inscriptions are available (4'500 toponyms) as well as 14'000 photographs. All regions in the program of the ''Thesaurus'' are covered. New editions will be issued every two years and will contain newly discovered inscriptions as well as additions and edtions of previous inscriptions.

<blockquote>The goal of the project is to advance the study of the corpus of Coptic “magical texts” – manuscripts written on papyrus, as well as parchment, paper, ostraca and other materials, and attesting to private religious practices designed to cope with the crises of daily life in Egypt. There are about five hundred of these texts which survive, dating to between the third and twelfth centuries of the common era. The largest published collection to-date, [https://press.princeton.edu/titles/6576.html ''Ancient Christian Magic''] (Marvin Meyer & Richard Smith, 1994), contains only about one hundred of these texts – about a fifth of the total number – while the remainder of those published are scattered in over a hundred books and articles, accessible to and known by only a few specialists.</blockquote>

<blockquote>These documents serve as vital pieces of information for ''vernacular religion'' – the realities rather than the ideal of religious practices and beliefs as they were experienced and carried out in daily life. They provide rich information about the experiences of people from the periods they document – the transitions from traditional Egyptian religion to Christianity and Islam, the diffusion and interaction of different forms of Christianity (“gnostic” and orthodox, Miaphysiste and Dyophysite, cults of saints and angels), and conceptions of the human and divine worlds – how human experiences such as happiness and success, suffering and sickness, love and conflict were understood and negotiated.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The project has five key components:</blockquote>

<blockquote>
* The creation of a continually-updated, publicly-available online corpus of Coptic magical texts, stored within the [https://www.coptic-magic.phil.uni-wuerzburg.de/index.php/manuscripts-search/ ''Kyprianos database''].
* The edition of new texts, and the re-edition and correction of older manuscripts, made possible by the comparative material within the corpus.
* The publication of these editions, both online and in print.
* Specific studies on different aspects of the magical texts – their language, their cosmologies, their ritual practices, and so on. These will respond to questions generated in the compilation of the corpus and the edition of texts.
* The communication of these results through regular [https://www.coptic-magic.phil.uni-wuerzburg.de/index.php/blog/blog posts] and a [https://www.coptic-magic.phil.uni-wuerzburg.de/index.php/the-podcast/ podcast].</blockquote>

==Description==

'''Seneca -''' '''''De beneficiis''''' is a blog where the Italian translation of the first book of Seneca’s ''De beneficiis'' was gradually published by its authors, the pupils of VR of [https://liceocannizzaropalermo.edu.it/ Liceo Scientifico “S. Cannizzaro”] (a. s. 2013-14), on the proposal of their Latin teacher, [http://www.pietrolicausi.it/default.asp?modulo=pages&idpage=1 Pietro Li Causi].

This translation is the result of their collective work and and was conceived as a gift that the class has chosen to make to the community, since there are no digital editions in Italian of this Seneca's treatise online.

The reference text for the translation is the one set by John W. Basore in 1935 for the Loeb Classical Library ([http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3atext%3a2007.01.0023 link] to the digital edition on [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/ Perseus]).

==Description==

Taken from the project website (Accessed 2020-02-27):

<blockquote>The site '''epistula124''' was designed in order to host the Italian translation and commentary to Seneca’s '''''Epistula ad Lucilium''''' '''124'''.</blockquote>

<blockquote>This epistula, taking up issues already covered in letters 106, 117, 118, 120 e [[Epistula 121|121]], is about the stoic idea of the highest good, that coincides with virtue, and that – unlike the Epicureans claim – could not be perceived with senses, but only through reason.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Thinking about the idea of the highest good as a result of the rational activity, Seneca actually relies on a classification of the world of the living that works in a logocentric key, i.e. excluding from the stoic ‘comsmopolis’ (inhabited by men and gods, the only ones endowed with ''ratio'') the 'mute' animals, to which, if on one hand we attribute species-specific forms of relative good, on the other hand we deny the possibility of achieving absolute good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The Senecan treatment of the intelligibility of the good is linked, among other things, to the problem of perceptive endowments of living beings, thus drawing a sort of comparative zoo-psychology ''ante litteram''.</blockquote>

<blockquote>This zoo-psychology constitutes an important point of reference for those who want to study and understand the 'theories of the animal mind' developed within stoicism.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In particular, the reading and analysis of this epistle can be understood as a sort of 'window' on the zoological and ethological knowledge of the ancient world and as a first approach to the debate on the intelligence of animals that has inflamed the philosophical schools of antiquity in the imperial age.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The text on which the translation and the commentary have been conducted is the one established by L. D. Reynolds ([https://latin.packhum.org/loc/1017/15/0#123 ''L. Annaei Senecae ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales'', Oxford 1965]).</blockquote>

==Description==

Taken from the project website (Accessed 2020-03-03):

<blockquote>In this site we can find the cooperative translation of Seneca’s '''''Epistula ad Lucilium''''' '''121''' ('''PROGETTO "OIKEIÔSIS"''').</blockquote>
<blockquote>This ''Epistula'' focuses on the stoic theory of the 'appropriation' (in Greek, ''oikeiôsis'') of animals, i.e. the process according to which every living being 'appropriates' its own existence and begins to perceive its physical constitution, as well as the elements that are useful or harmful to it.</blockquote>
<blockquote>''Epistula'' 121, in this sense, is to be considered an important starting point for anyone who wants to study and understand the 'theories of the animal mind' within Stoicism and, at the same time, to form a first orientation on the debate related to the intelligence of the animals that inflamed the philosophical schools during the imperial age.</blockquote>
<blockquote>The arguments of this debate, however, present some consonances (which deserve to be analyzed starting from the tools of cultural comparison) with those fielded in contemporary cognitive psychology, neuroscience, ethology and philosophy of language nowadays.</blockquote>
<blockquote>The Latin reference text used for the translation of the ''Epistula ad Lucilium'' 121 is the one published by L.D. Reynolds (''L. Annaei Senecae at the Lucilium Epistulae Morales'', Oxford 1965).</blockquote>
<blockquote>A digital edition of this text is available on the [https://latin.packhum.org/loc/1017/15/0#120 Packard Humanities Institute website].</blockquote>
<blockquote>The Italian translation made by the students is to be considered under the Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license ('''https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/''').

==Description==

Taken from the project website (Accessed 2020-01-14):

<blockquote>In the medieval Eurasian geopolitical space, Byzantium and China stand out as two centralised imperial orders that drew on seemingly unbroken, in fact purposely constructed, traditions of classicising learning. With generous support from the European Research Council (ERC), the PAIXUE project examines in tandem, with equal focus on structural parallels and divergences, the conscious revival and subsequent dialectics of classicising learning in middle and later Byzantium (c.800–1350) and Tang/Song China (618–1279). Initially tied into aristocratic culture, it became a tool by which the imperial state sought to monopolise prestige and access to power so as to effectively channel the activities of newly emerging burgeoning ‘middling’ strata into the service of empire. As time progressed, it was also the basis upon which these new elites constructed novel forms of subjectivity that claimed authority and agency increasingly independent of the imperial state.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PAIXUE traces this evolution of classicising learning in Byzantine and Tang/Song literati culture from two angles. The ﬁrst examines the galvanising function of social performances that involved classicising learning in the imperial systems. The second places the individual literatus centre-stage and explores the transformations of self-awareness, ethos, and self-cultivation. Given PAIXUE’s concern with examining phenomena cross-culturally in the longue-durée, rather than merely juxtaposing ‘spotlight’ impressions, a comparison of these two imperial systems does not only allow for deeper insights into the historical development of both China and Byzantium: it opens the possibility of studying cultural mechanisms behind the formation of institutions, practices and values. The project explores novel forms of collaboration in the humanities, including the co-authoring of research output between Byzantinists and Sinologists. Byzantium, frequently perceived as the ‘Other’ within western culture to the present day, serves here to build meaningful bridges to (pre-modern) China.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The ''Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum'' (CIL) is a comprehensive collection of ancient Latin inscriptions from all corners of the Roman Empire.

Available funding covers the digitization of the volumes with an imperfect OCR searching capability. The goal is to eventually create a keyword searchable database to contain also future volumes of the CIL as they fall outside of copyright restrictions and to eventually do the same for the Inscriptiones Graecae.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The ''Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum'' (CIL) is a comprehensive collection of ancient Latin inscriptions from all corners of the Roman Empire.

The Corpus continues to be updated with new editions and supplements by the [https://cil.bbaw.de/cil_en/index_en.html Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften].</blockquote>
<blockquote>This digitized version of the CIL will initially comprise of the more than 50 parts (of vols. I-XVI + auctaria and of v. I (edition altera)) published before 1940. Available funding covers the digitization of the volumes with an imperfect OCR searching capability. The goal is to eventually create a keyword searchable database to contain also future volumes of the CIL as they fall outside of copyright restrictions and to eventually do the same for the Inscriptiones Graecae.</blockquote>
<blockquote>The printed version of the CIL presently consists of 17 volumes in approximately 70 parts, recording some 180,000 inscriptions.

==Description==

Taken from the project website (Accessed 2019-12-03):

''The Epigraphic Landscape of Athens'' is <blockquote>a project whose objective is to show the relationship between public inscriptions and urban space in ancient Athens.</blockquote> It is a database <blockquote>focused on the places of publication of the Athenian public inscriptions (i.e. documents issued from the late 6th century to Late Antiquity, and set up in the asty), grounding on the idea that urban spaces are able to complete, and even to enrich with further ideological or cultural overtones, the original message of the inscribed texts; and that these latter, with their very presence in the city, are able to produce a different sort of public space as 'written space'.</blockquote>
<blockquote>''The Epigraphic Landscape of Athens'' project is funded by the Italian Ministry of Education and Research in the frame of the SIR Programme (''Scientific Independence of young Researchers'') 2014, and hosted by the [https://www.dipstudistorici.unito.it/do/home.pl Department of Historical Studies, University of Turin].
The ELA Database is an open-access online resource aimed at providing to scholars a new research tool for a topographical study of the Athenian public inscriptions as communication media in the frame of The Epigraphic Landscape of Athens project.</blockquote>
<blockquote>For each document, the database records the place of original display, together with a series of other supplementary data. In addition to some basic information about the inscription (inventory number, main edition, chronology, text category, etc.), the database provides the findspot information (place, date and circumstances of discovery, etc.), a description of the epigraphic monument (shape, ornamentation, text layout, etc.), and a recording of the epigraphic formulae concerning the publication of the inscription. Through the Advanced Search the data recorded can be explored by selecting one filter at a time, or cross referenced by selecting multiple filters.</blockquote>
