Tommaso Gramigni writes to alert us to the publication of a catalogue of medieval inscriptions from Florence and its surroundings, which derives from his PhD research at University of Florence. It is presently openly available online (PDF) and will soon appear in print from Firenze University Press: Iscrizioni medievali nel territorio fiorentino fino al XIII secolo.

Tommaso also alerts us to his blog, Epigrafia Medievale.

Sent by Finlay McCourt to the Digital Classicist list:

List members may be interested in a new website designed to make available the inscriptions of Athens and Attica in English translation:

www.atticinscriptions.com

It is being launched with translations of the 281 inscribed laws and decrees of Athens, 352/1-322/1 BC, which have recently been edited by Stephen Lambert as IG II³ 1, 292-572.

We plan to develop the site, enhancing its functionality and increasing the range of information supplied, and to expand it in due course to include all Attic inscriptions.

(As McCourt points out, there are so far only a handful of inscriptions, in English translation only [no original text], and with only simple search and browse by bibliographical reference as entry points, but hopefully this will develop into a useful resource for historians and students.)

Please find attached a flyer advertising the online publication of a new corpus of Greek and Latin inscriptions, Monumenta Asiae Minoris Antiqua XI: Monuments from Phrygia and Lykaonia.

MAMA XI is a corpus of 387 inscriptions and other ancient monuments, 292 of which are unpublished, from Phrygia and Lykaonia recorded by Sir William Calder (1881-1960) and Dr Michael Ballance (†27 July 2006) in the course of annual expeditions to Asia Minor in 1954-1957. The monuments have been edited with full commentaries and marked-up in xml using EpiDoc electronic editorial conventions by Peter Thonemann with the assistance of Édouard Chiricat and Charles Crowther.

The full corpus was published online on 14 September 2012 at the following address: http://mama.csad.ox.ac.uk/. A print volume will be published later as a Roman Society monograph.

The MAMA XI project has been funded by a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and is based at the Centre for the Study of Ancient Documents in Oxford.

From Stephen Mitchell:

The British Institute at Ankara has published two new fascicles of David French’s Corpus of the Milestones of Roman Asia Minor as PDF files on the Internet, from which they can be downloaded without charge. They are available on the web-site of the BIAA (Home page: http://www.biaa.ac.uk/home). RRMAM 3.1 (63 pages) contains the Republican milestones from the province of Asia, RRMAM 3.2 (358 pages) the 132 milestones from the province of Galatia. The publications include not only the texts, concordances and other apparatus, but also schematic maps and abundant illustrations (http://www.biaa.ac.uk/home/index.phpoption=com_content&task=view&id=109&Itemid=51#RRMAM32). A fascicle with the texts from Cappadocia is due to be published shortly.

A typology for recording pavement signs.

Pavement Signs Typology (PDF)

Over many years Charlotte Roueché has been collecting examples of pavement markings, particularly at Aphrodisias and Ephesus: these have conventionally been described as gameboards, although only some of them were definitely intended for this purpose. The late R.C. Bell made a very large collection of such signs, and in 2007 they published a typology to be used for recording pavement markings and gameboards. This has now been enhanced with links to published examples, which are set out in the attached document, to be launched at the 2012 Berlin AIEGL Congress.

Colleagues are invited to provide references to further photographic illustrations, new designs to add to the typology, or any other suggestions or corrections. Please either make your contributions as a comment here, or email charlotte.roueche[at]kcl.ac.uk; the aim is to develop a shared resource, and to enable better practice in the recording of such materials.

Mireille CORBIER, directeur de L’Année épigraphique (Paris), fait savoir que L’Année épigraphique 2009 (1838 notices, 876 pages dont 177 pages d’index) est parue en août 2012. Les commandes doivent être adressées aux Presses Universitaires de France : revues@puf.com

Mireille CORBIER, director of L’Année épigraphique (Paris), announces that L’Année épigraphique 2009 (containing 1838 entries, and 876 pages including 177 pages of index) was published in August, 2012, and is now available. Orders should be sent to Presses Universitaires de France at revues@puf.com

I recently became aware of the Поиск Изображений В Античном Искусстве and its English version, the Online Database of Ancient Art, which presently includes records and images for 82 inscriptions (an English version of the search results is also available).

Via a post on Manuel Ramírez Sánchez’s blog, we learn of the publication of Ficheiro Epigráfico 100 (pdf), which provides addenda et corrigenda to previously published inscriptions, as well as indices to fascicules 90-99.

Mireille Corbier writes to alert us to the publication of the following:

“L’écriture dans la maison romaine”, edited by Mireille CORBIER and Jean-Pierre GUILHEMBET, published by DE BOCCARD (11 rue de Médicis 75 006 PARIS). 426 pages. 193 illustrations. Price : 60 euros.

Through the global analysis of writing in the domestic space, this edited volume looks at all forms of a writing culture, from archeological or epigraphical traces to forms mentioned only in literary sources. It demonstrates the great variety of media, but also of types of writing that can be found in the domestic context. “Books,” archives, writing materials, everyday objects with inscriptions: all have been integrated into the field of research covered in the essays in this volume. The practices found in the Roman household that are catalogued here point to usages very different from our own in a world where the practice of writing, a privilege shared by a fraction of the population, had multiple functions. The twenty chapters in this volume highlight certain writing forms and usages and cannot claim to be exhaustive. Social pretension and a desire for social distinction, the construction of the family memory, the pleasure of “reading together,” a constant dialog with guests, the conservation and archiving of personal and professional documents, apprenticeship in relations of authority, the written expression of vota and respects paid to the genius of the pater familias and to the domestic Lares, affirmation of the self by the writing of personal messages: all are part of the domestic writing culture analyzed here. The household is a space placed under the authority of masters, where domestic cults are practiced, where the family’s children and young slaves benefit from a variety of acculturating experiences: the hierarchy of behaviors expected of all the domestic actors, but also the practice of reading and writing. The households of magistrates and men exercising a profession were first and foremost places and instruments of their professional activities, and only afterwards spaces of representation and conviviality.

This volume is the product of an international colloquium organized by “L’Année épigraphique” group of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and brings together articles written by twenty-one historians, archaeologists, and philologists from seven different countries (France, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the United States, and Tunisia). The authors are specialists of the ancient Mediterranean world and offer their contributions as possible avenues for comparative research with other historical periods and societies. They are asking questions about writing practices and levels of literacy in Roman society, about the relations between text and image and the culture that lies behind them, about the relations between the written and the oral and the dialog between the inner self and the public self, about the diversity of graphical forms and what they reveal about the ability to read and to write.
