Schriftenverzeichnis

Vor fast 60 Jahren verstarb Adolf Wilhelm, einer der größten griechischen Epigraphiker seiner Generation. Seine enorme Schaffenskraft schlug sich, neben einigen Monographien, weit überwiegend in Hunderten von eher kleineren Artikeln nieder, die sich aber durch außerordentliche präzise Dichte der Darlegungen auszeichnen. Adolf Wilhelms Untersuchungen, Lesungen und Kommentare sind sowohl in epigraphischer Hinsicht wie allgemein für die Altertumswissenschaften von unverminderter Aktualität. In ihrer Fülle blieben sie freilich kaum überschaubar und sind zum Teil auch an schwer zugänglichen Stellen publiziert. Der Nachdruck dieser „Kleinen Schriften“ Adolf Wilhelms stellt daher ein Desiderat ersten Ranges in der Gegenwart dar. Das ehemalige Zentralantiquariat der DDR in Leipzig hat in den Jahren 1974–1984 mit einem solchen Reprint begonnen und insgesamt fünf Teilbände erscheinen lassen, sich jedoch nach den politischen Veränderungen ohne Rechtsnachfolger aufgelöst. Es verblieben noch ca. 174 Artikel, die als Abteilung II/3–5 des Nachdruckes von der Kleinasiatischen Kommission der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften publiziert wurden und mit ca. 1900 Seiten drei Bände füllten. Hierauf folgte als Abteilung III die Edition der Schriften aus Wilhelms Nachlass. Nach der positiven Aufnahme dieser bei der ÖAW herausgegebenen vier Bände der „Kleinen Schriften“ Adolf Wilhelms durch die internationale Fachwelt liegen nunmehr mit Abteilung IV die Gesamtindices zu allen in Wien und vorher in Leipzig nachgedruckten Werken Wilhelms (einschließlich seiner „Beiträge zur griechischen Inschriftenkunde“ aus dem Jahre 1909) und somit der Abschlussband dieser Serie vor.

Adolf Wilhelm, one of the most eminent scholars of Greek epigraphs of his generation, passed away nearly 60 years ago. In addition to several monographs, his enormous creative output consisted above all in hundreds of shorter articles, distinguished through their exceptional precision. Adolf Wilhelm’s studies, readings, and commentaries are still of relevance today, both for epigraphical studies as well as for Classical Studies in general. It is clear that an overview of them all is almost impossible, especially since many of publications where they appeared are now available only with difficulty. This reprint of the Kleine Schriften has thus long been a special desideratum. The former Zentralantiquariat der DDR in Leipzig began work on such a reprint between 1974 and 1984, publishing a total of five volumes, but the work was discontinued during the political changes of the next years without there being a legal successor. The Commission of Asia Minor of the Austrian Academy of Sciences then reprinted the remaining 174 articles of Part II/3-5, which with approximately 1,900 pages fill three volumes. This was followed by Part III, an edition of Wilhelm’s posthumous works. After the international scholarly community’s positive reception of these four volumes, the series has now been completed with the publication of this volume, Part IV, a comprehensive index of all the Leipzig and Vienna reprints of Wilhelm’s works (including his “Beiträge zur griechischen Inschriftenkunde” written in 1909).

Filed under: publications — Tom Elliott @ 15:17

The humanities components of the National Hellenic Research Foundation have released Pandektis: Digital Thesaurus of Primary Sources for Greek History and Culture.

Readers of CurEp will be particularly interested in the collection entitled “Ancient Greek and Latin Inscriptions from Upper Macedonia, Aegean Thrace and Achaia,” an online and updated publication of three of the corpora of inscriptions the Institute for Greek and Roman Antiquity (KERA) has produced over the years, namely:

  • EAM = A. Rizakis and J. Touratsoglou, Επιγραφές άνω Μακεδονίας (Ελίμεια, Εορδαία, Νότια Λυγκηστίς, Ορεστίς) (Inscriptions of Upper Macedonia), Athens: Ταμείο Αρχαιολογικών Πόρων και Απαλλοτριώσεων, 1985-)

Republished: Bulletin épigraphique 1987-2001

Filed under: publications — Tom Elliott @ 21:04

In a recent post to inscriptiones-l, Denis Rousset drew our attention to the republication, in four volumes, of the annual Bulletin épigraphique for the years 1987-2001. The PDF file he attached to his note was stripped by the Yahoo Groups filters on the list, but Gregg Schwenderer has posted what I take to be the content at What’s New in Papyrology. Details are available on the website of Les Belles Lettres, under the rubric epigraphica.

I offer here the volume details (with COiNS metadata for Zotero users):

Corpus of Attic Vase Inscriptions online

Filed under: publications — Gabriel Bodard @ 12:20

As announced via AIEGL, a preliminary version of Henry Immerwahr’s Corpus of Attic Vase Inscriptions has been made available online as a downloadable PDF. In a preface to this version, Immerwahr states:

This corpus is simply a collection of notes taken over the years from publications and illustrations, with some autopsy where possible. It is not complete, nor is it a finished product, and the information has to be used with caution. It has been made available by circulating hard copy in a few places and by CD’s distributed individually. The Beazley Archive in Oxford has made extensive use of it, but without giving the corpus numbers. Since these have been quoted in a number of articles, I thought it only fair to make it generally available as a website. I have made a minimal revision; Rudolf Wachter is preparing a more thoroughly revised version.

The use of Courier font makes this publication a little ugly, but the content will no doubt be useful to many, especially for reference and citation purposes. I should welcome clarification on two points, however:

  1. What are the license terms of this publication? Can I print this document and circulate it among my colleagues and/or students? Can I copy the file and post it to my website or blog (with full attribution, of course)? Can I cite the commentary that appears within it? (See Creative Commons for a suggested means of specifying these terms in a legally-binding way.)
  2. What is the long-term status of this version of the file? Will it be permanently archived at this address (or, better, in a digital repository somewhere)? Will it still exist in this form when Wachter’s full edition appears (presumably on paper)?

[Postscript: after the first 33 pages of this huge file there appears to be a technical problem with the PDF, and 2146 blank pages follow.]

Études épigraphiques online

Filed under: publications — Gabriel Bodard @ 19:53

Last week, Intute added to the Classics and Archaeology categories a record for Études épigraphiques, a series published by the École Française d’Athènes, with four volumes online (and open access) from between 1994 and 1997 (Decourt’s Inscriptions de Thessalie I, Cabanes et al. Corpus des inscriptions grecques d’Illyrie méridionale et d’Épire I & II, and Bielman’s Retour à la liberté). The pages are low-quality JPEGs and there doesn’t seem to be a way to download the texts complete, but it’s good to have this stuff freely available if you know what page you’re looking for, say.

(Who do we have to write to to ask for PDFs and a better table of contents?)

Online: Manual de Fundamentos de Epigrafía Latina

Filed under: publications — Gabriel Bodard @ 13:32

Announced via AIEGL:

Tengo el placer de comunicarte que ya está disponible en la página web de Liceus, y dentro del Área de Epigrafía Latina (http://www.liceus.com/cgi-bin/aco/arqu/tema_2.asp#linguistica) un Manual de Fundamentos de Epigrafía Latina que, seguro, será útil para vuestras clases y como material de apoyo para el estudio de los alumnos. Coordinado por Javier Andreu, en él han participado también otros jóvenes investigadores como Pablo Ozcáriz, Eva Tobalina y Ángel Jordán. Me consta que el resultado es un trabajo serio, riguroso, con abundante aparato gráfico y actualizadísima bibliografía. En el documento “Presentación” -de descarga gratuita- podréis acercaros a la filosofía del trabajo. Pronto, además, el Manual será editado en papel dentro de una colección de manuales universitarios que está preparando Liceus E-Excellence con la vocación de servir al mejor estudio de las Humanidades.

The introduction (9 pages PDF in Spanish) is downloadable for free, other chapters cost between 1-3 Euro each. (I don’t see an option to purchase the entire volume in one file, but presumably there must be one?
