Schriftenverzeichnis</p>
<p>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.<br />
…<br />
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&#8217;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&#8217;s posthumous works. After the international scholarly community&#8217;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&#8217;s works (including his &#8220;Beiträge zur griechischen Inschriftenkunde&#8221; written in 1909).</p>

</ul>
<p><a id="more-234"></a>The website provides further description:</p>
<blockquote><p>This collection of epigraphic texts represents part of the epigraphic archives of the Institute for Greek and Roman Antiquity (KERA), which were progressively constituted since 1980 with permission and in collaboration with the corresponding Department of Antiquities of the direction of Antiquities of the Greek Ministry of Culture, to promote the systematic study and scientific exploitation of epigraphic texts as primary sources for the history, institutions, language, religion and culture of specific Greek regions in Greek and Roman Antiquity.</p>
<p>The collection comprises three sets of published ancient inscriptions on stone ([1058 records;] the lower limit being the 7th century AD) &#8230; Supplements to the collection of inscriptions from Upper Macedonia, its bibliographical update, the creation of all digital entries, as well as partial additions and corrections throughout the collection have been undertaken by the Institute’s collaborator K. Lembidaki, with the assistance of K. Ananiadis, A. Vourgali, M. Stavrou, D. Stathaki and V. Psilakakou, under the supervision of P. Paschidis.</p></blockquote>
<p>Records for individual inscriptions include (e.g., <a href="http://pandektis.ekt.gr/dspace/handle/123456789/163124">IThrAeg E088</a>):</p>
<ul>
<li>A black-and-white image of a stone or squeeze, served through a client-side java application that permits panning and zooming within a small window; resolutions observed by this reviewer were not very high, but sufficient to read unproblematic letters; original photographs appear to have been quite good, with appropriate light control and contrast.</li>
<li>Greek and English titles (which incorporate references to the source publication, e.g., IThrAeg E047)</li>
<li>Date</li>
<li>Identifiers (e.g., museum inventory numbers)</li>
<li>Epigraph file (see below)</li>
<li>Spatial (i.e., region and place name, presumably findspot)</li>
<li>Subjects (e.g., &#8220;funerary inscription&#8221;)</li>
<li>Rights statement (reproduction of photographs is prohibited absent permission from the Greek Ministry of Culture; copyright on the rest of the data is asserted by the Institute for Greek and Roman Antiquity of the National Hellenic Research Foundation, but &#8220;data may be used freely, provided that there is explicit reference to their provenance.&#8221;)</li>
</ul>
<p>The &#8220;epigraph file&#8221; for each inscription is a separate HTML document, entirely in the Greek language, providing additional information (e.g., <a href="http://www.ekt.gr/pandektis/epigrafes/Thraki_E088.html">IRThrAeg E088 Epigraph File</a>):</p>

<p>It is my understanding that the data in the &#8220;epigraph files&#8221; have been authored in <a href="http://epidoc.sf.net">EpiDoc</a>, and transformed to HTML for the purpose of inclusion in the <em>Pandektis</em> system (a customized <a href="http://www.dspace.org/">DSpace</a> repository). There is no obvious mechanism whereby researchers may obtain copies of the source XML files.</p>
<p>This reviewer did not test searching for this collection; however, see comments below.</p>
<p>Epigraphists and archaeologists working with older modern publications may also find another of the <em>Pandektis</em> collections to be useful: <em><a href="http://pandektis.ekt.gr/dspace/handle/123456789/38101">Name Changes of Settlements in Greece</a></em>. Description:</p>
<blockquote><p>The <a href="http://www.eie.gr/nhrf/institutes/inr/index-en.html">Institute of Neohellenic Research</a>, recognizing the importance of study of toponyms (place names) in Greek history, has included in its research activities the study of names of settlements and lesser place names, in the framework of its Research Program ‘Historical study of settlements in Greece (15th-20th centuries)’.<br />
A product of the above program is the current database, ‘Name Changes of Settlements in Greece’, which aims at recording the name changes effected through official administrative acts.</p>
<p>For the time being, the database covers the acts recorded between 1913-1962, a period during which the practice of changing the names of settlements and communities became more frequent, due to the admission of new territories into the Greek state, and to administrative rearrangements at the local level.</p>
<p>4.075 instances of renaming have been recorded so far, distributed geographically as follows: Macedonia 1.759, Peloponnese 750, Sterea Hellas 474, Thessaly 443, Ipeiros 390, Thrace 92, Crete 77, Aegean Islands 58, Ionian Islands 32. In separate fields of the database are recorded the prefecture, the province, the municipality or the community to which the settlement belongs, the code of the settlement, its name at the time of its renaming and the new name that it received, any variations of the old or the new name, the date of the official renaming act and the Official Journal in which it was published.</p>
<p>Leonidas Kallivretakis is the Research Director of the Program, Dimitris Dimitropoulos had the scientific oversight of the current project, while Katerina Dede assured the systematic documentation, organization, verification and updating of the material, as well as the final editing of the database. Eleni Kyramargiou collaborated also in the final stages of the project.</p></blockquote>
<p>The bilingual (Greek/English) record for each name change cataloged in this database includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Prefecture</li>
<li>Province</li>
<li>Community/Municipality Name</li>
<li>Settlement code (authority not specified, at least at the record level)</li>
<li>Old name</li>
<li>Date of renaming</li>
<li>Official journal</li>
<li>New name</li>
</ul>
<p>This reviewer was unable to access records by searching for toponyms in Greek or English transliteration &#8230; a serious limitation. Inspection of the &#8220;advanced search&#8221; interface seems to indicate that the only searchable fields are the standard DSpace metadata fields (e.g., author, title, subject). Absent any mechanism for downloading the entire content of the database for local use, browsing via the alphabetic list of &#8220;titles&#8221; is the only mechanism for exploring the content. Geographic coordinates are not included in the dataset, nor is there any mapping function in evidence.</p>
<p>Thanks to Chuck Jones for the tip.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Inscriptiones-l/message/450">a recent post to inscriptiones-l</a>, Denis Rousset drew our attention to the republication, in four volumes, of the annual <em>Bulletin épigraphique</em> for the years 1987-2001.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As announced via AIEGL, a preliminary version of Henry Immerwahr&#8217;s <a href="http://www.unc.edu/~hri/Inscriptions.pdf"><em>Corpus of Attic Vase Inscriptions</em></a> has been made available online as a downloadable PDF. In a <a href="http://www.unc.edu/~hri/">preface</a> to this version, Immerwahr states:</p>
<blockquote><p>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&#8217;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.</p></blockquote>
<p>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:</p>
<ol>
<li>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 <a href="http://www.creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons</a> for a suggested means of specifying these terms in a legally-binding way.)</li>
<li>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&#8217;s full edition appears (presumably on paper)?</li>
</ol>
<p>[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.]
