==Description==

Axon Project aims to offer a selection of Greek inscriptions, from the birth of the polis in the Archaic Age to 31 BC. The documents are provided with complete lemma and critical apparatus, information about date and place of discovery, Italian translation, commentary, and updated bibliography. This digital anthology has been selected according to a broader notion of ‘historical’ inscription, which includes those documents relevant not only for their political and institutional contents, but also for the social as well as cultural issues they display.

AXON is a member of Europeana EAGLE Project and is supported by the Istituto Italiano per la Storia Antica.

Each digital record is associated with a commentary on the palaeographic, linguistic, historical, institutional, cultural and contextual aspects of the document. The record and the commentary are published together in the AXON journal after two double-blind reviews. The journal, provided with ISSN, is published every six months and can be freely consulted through the website of our publisher, Edizioni Ca’ Foscari Digital Publishing [https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/en/edizioni4/riviste/axon/].

==Description==

The new ERC Advanced Grant, Crossreads, led by Professor Jonathan Prag, will offer the first coherent account of the interplay of linguistic and textual material culture in ancient Sicily over a period of 1,500 years. Sicily was a multilingual, multicultural region at the crossroads of the ancient Mediterranean, colonised and invaded repeatedly by Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans. History has traditionally prioritised the Greek and Roman literary texts, which themselves offer a strongly Helleno- and Romano-centric narrative, mostly written by outsiders, marginalizing the island and almost completely ignoring it after the Roman sack of Syracuse in 212 BC. However, the native and immigrant inhabitants did write for themselves, and those texts survive, engraved on a variety of durable materials – the practice of epigraphy. These texts, on stone, ceramic and metal embrace a broad socio-economic range, across public and private life.

Building upon the I-Sicily project, which was developed over a number of years with the support of the Oxford University John Fell Fund, Crossreads will bring all these inscribed objects together in a comprehensive, open-source, digital corpus, using international standards (TEI-EpiDoc and IIIF) to encode text, images and contextual data. The project will pioneer new digital tools in palaeography and linguistic annotation and offer the first petrographic analysis of the use of stone on the island.

In the first year, three post-doctoral researchers, Ilenia Gradante, Valentina Mignosa, and Simona Stoyanova will work with the PI, Jonathan Prag, to develop the digital corpus covering 1,500 years (7th cent. BCE – 7th cent. CE).

==Description==

I.Sicily is a project to create a comprehensive corpus of inscribed texts from ancient Sicily in TEI-XML/EpiDoc, together with bibliography and images. The corpus aims to include all inscriptions in all languages, including Greek, Latin, Phoenician/Punic, Oscan, Hebrew, Sikel and Elymian, spanning the period from the 7th century BC to the 7th century AD.

The project is based at the Faculty of Classics of the University of Oxford. The project is directed by Jonathan Prag (University of Oxford, UK). The project is currently (2020-2025) part of the ERC Crossreads project [https://crossreads.web.ox.ac.uk/], of which Jonathan Prag is the Principal Investigator.

The corpus was founded on a legacy dataset of metadata records for c.2,300 inscriptions (created 2000-2005), which was converted into EpiDoc (2013-2015) and published online (January 2017) with a grant from the University of Oxford. The project is now steadily expanding the corpus through bibliographic work and a long-term programme of autopsy of inscriptions in the collections across the island of Sicily. The corpus currently contains c.3,300 records, primarily of inscriptions on stone (expected total c.4,500) and is in the process of expanding to include other categories of epigraphic material (instrumentum domesticum, texts on ceramic and metal, etc.). As part of the Crossreads project, the corpus aims to incorporate palaeographic, linguistic, and petrographic data in the coming years.

A major focus of the project is collaboration with the museums and collections of Sicily, and the ongoing programme of autopsy aims to locate and identify texts in collections. The project maintains a database of sites and collections on the island, and through this offers searchable catalogues of each museum collection.

==Description==

From the press release (2016-01-27):

:The scientific team of the Greek Epigraphy Lab is pleased to announce the launch of '''AXON''', a database of Greek historical inscriptions, financed by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and coordinated by Stefania De Vido.

:AXON is a potentially ever growing online edition of a wide selection of epigraphic texts (selected according to the broad notion of "historical inscription”), provided with complete lemma and critical apparatus, Italian translation, commentary, and updated bibliography. This digital anthology will be progressively improved by scholars: a first set of documents is currently available and freely accessible, together with some useful materials: an aid for scholars and students alike. The website is mostly in Italian at the moment, but we are working to provide users with an English translation of its contents.

:AXON is a member of Europeana EAGLE Project and is supported by the Istituto Italiano per la Storia Antica. Our database will contribute to the international panorama of the Digital Humanities: it provides a shared epigraphic vocabulary, a SEG-derived and widely implemented bibliography, and accurate indexing.

:For further information, please visit our web-site or contact us via e-mail: axon@unive.it.
