Online-Wörterbuch zur Verwaltungssprache im griechischsprachigen Ägypten

Ein Team von Forschern und Informatikern der Universität Leipzig wird in den kommenden zwei Jahren in einem Pilotprojekt ein mehrsprachiges Online-Wörterbuch zum Fachwortschatz der Verwaltungssprache im griechisch-römisch-byzantinischen Ägypten erarbeiten. Es soll später das alte Lexikon des Kaiserlichen Telegraphendirektors aus dem Jahr 1915 ersetzen.

Die Forschungsarbeit des Teams aus Papyrologen und Informatikern unter der Leitung des Historikers Prof. Dr. Reinhold Scholl wird vom Sächsischen Staatsministerium für Wissenschaft und Kunst gefördert. Das Projekt ist am Lehrstuhl für Alte Geschichte im Historischen Seminar angesiedelt und wird in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Universitätsrechenzentrum umgesetzt.

"Mit Verwaltung und ihrer bisweilen schwer bis gar nicht verständlichen Sprache haben wir alle zu tun. Verwaltung aber ist keine Erfindung der Neuzeit, sondern seit Anbeginn des menschlichen Zusammenlebens gibt es Verwaltung und ihre Kommunikationsformen. Gerade die vielen dokumentarischen Papyri in griechischer Sprache aus Ägypten beleuchten dieses Feld in einzigartiger Weise für die Antike", sagt Scholl. Seit der Erstellung des Vorgänger-Lexikons "Fachwörter des öffentlichen Verwaltungsdienstes Ägyptens" durch den Kaiserlichen Telegraphendirektor zu Straßburg im Elsaß Friedrich Preisigke vor 100 Jahren, sind ihm zufolge viele neue Funde hinzugekommen, und die Zahl der Texte hat sich rasant vermehrt. Zudem solle dieses neue Fachwörterbuch bei den alten und neu einzuarbeitenden Belegstellen sowohl Ort als auch Zeit erfassen und auf die Volltexte verlinken, die weiterführende Literatur zu den einzelnen Grundformen aktualisieren, die deutsche Übersetzung der griechischen Termini modernisieren und erstmalig weitere Übersetzungen in moderne Wissenschafts- und Kongresssprachen vornehmen.

"Es wird auch eine Suche von modernen Sprachen zu altgriechischen Fachwörtern möglich sein. Ebenfalls können Benutzer eigene Sachgruppen bilden. Das neue Fachwörterbuch wird systematisch um die Verwaltungssprache des byzantinischen Ägypten erweitert", erklärt Scholl. Die Mehrsprachigkeit des Wörterbuches trage der Multilingualität und Multikulturalität der Altertumswissenschaften Rechnung. Zugleich setze das Projekt auf bestehende digitale und online zugängliche und ihm als Projektleiter mitentwickelte und umgesetzte Verbundprojekte auf. Zu nennen wäre das von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) geförderte Verbundprojekt Halle-Jena-Leipzig, das die antiken Papyri, Ostraka, Pergamente und Papiere an diesen Standorten digital erschlossen hat und ebenso das in Leipzig konzipierte und erstellte sowie im Universitätsrechenzentrum installierte DFG-geförderte Papyrusportal, das alle in Deutschland digitalisierten Papyrussammlungen unter einem Dach nach einheitlichen Standards durchsuch- und anzeigbar macht.

Provenance in an eBay World: Does the Provenance of Ancient Artifacts Matter?
11/23/2015
1:00 PM to 3:30 PM
Room: 303 (Level 3) - Hilton
Theme: Hosted by the Student Advisory Board
From Gospel of John papyrus fragments appearing on eBay to debates surrounding the origins of modern fragments (e.g., the Gospel of Jesus’s Wife, or the new Sappho fragments), the provenance of antiquities has emerged as a challenging issue for scholars and students who work with material culture. This session aims to illuminate some of the stakes around the debate for graduate students. The panel will examine issues of working on materials kept in public and private collections, and highlight the individuals and institutions who are working to create policies and practices that address the issue of provenance. As of now, SBL has no formal policy on the provenance of antiquities, but is actively formulating one. It is the hope of the panel that graduate students will find this panel to be a networking opportunity and source of support for their future academic work.

Description

Series Law and Society in the Ancient World
Web Copy

Transaction costs (TC) are the “friction” in an economic system, and their analysis is vital to understanding institutional design and economic performance. Law and Transaction Costs in the Ancient Economy is the first volume to collect specific studies from a transaction cost perspective. The volume offers models of this new way of looking at ancient evidence, and suggests ways in which traditional subject areas might inform problems in contemporary economics and legal studies.

After the editors’ methodological introduction, the contributors investigate the roles and effects of transaction costs in fourth-century Athens, Ptolemaic Egypt, the Roman Empire, and late antiquity, on the basis of legal texts, papyri, and inscriptions. Collected here are some of the leading voices on TC analysis in ancient history, as well as established scholars, including several who do not usually publish in English: Alain Bresson, Giuseppe Dari-Mattiacci, Rudolf Haensch, Dennis Kehoe, François Lerouxel, J. G. Manning, Brian Muhs, Josiah Ober, David M. Ratzan, Gerhard Thür, and Uri Yiftach.

This volume will speak to those who identify with traditional subject areas, like epigraphy or Greek law, and will also demonstrate the value of experimenting with this new way of looking at ancient evidence.

Monks, Camels, and Wine

Since 2009/10, I have been studying the corpus of texts written at the monastery of Apa Thomas at Wadi Sarga, a valley ca. 25 km south of modern Asyut in central Egypt. In 2013, I held a British Museum Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan, in order to study and photograph the published and unpublished items from the site that bear writing on them, whether in ink or incised, and whether labels or longer documents. From the beginning of 2015, I began a Fellowship at the University of Copenhagen. The main focus of my research here is the monastery at Wadi Sarga, about its history and its day-to-day life, including its organisation, administration, economy, and relationship with near and distant communities. My work is based on the written record that survives from the site, but work on other material from the monastery is currently being studied (as part of a larger project at the British Museum) and provides vital context for the textual evidence.

Seminar in Papyrus Conservation by Papyrology Collection of the University of Michigan Library

The Seminar: The Papyrology Collection of the University of Michigan Library will host a two-week seminar in papyrus conservation from Monday, 13 June to Friday 24 June 2016 directed by Conservation Librarian/Book Conservator Marieka Kaye. 
Participants will receive an in-depth, hands-on introduction to papyrus conservation. They will learn about the tools and materials used in papyrus conservation as well as the theory and methodology behind current conservation techniques. 
They will then utilize these techniques to perform a range of treatment on papyri from the University of Michigan’s Collection, including written documentation, digital photo-documentation, mechanical cleaning, damp treatments, reduction of folds, alignment of fibers, alignment of fragments, and methods of housing and storage. 
 Due to space constraints, the number of participants is strictly limited to six. Preference will be given to scholars and students who are directly involved with papyrus conservation, whether in papyrus collections or archaeological excavations. 
 There is no course fee for the seminar which is supported by the University of Michigan Papyrology Collection; participants are responsible for their own travel, lodging and meals. All required tools will be provided for use during the seminar and participants will have the option of purchasing them at cost at the conclusion of the seminar. 
All participants are required to offer a presentation on their home institution’s papyrus conservation issues, experiences, and concerns. A certificate of participation will be provided at the end of the seminar. 
 The Instructor: Marieka Kaye has been studying papyrus conservation with senior papyrus conservator Leyla Lau-Lamb for the past two years. She comes to U of M after serving as a book and paper conservator for 8 years at the Huntington Library in San Marino, CA. 
She received a Masters degree and Certificate of Advanced Study in Art Conservation from Buffalo State College and a Masters of Library and Information Science from San Jose State University. Marieka began to work in the field of library conservation as a Preservation Assistant at Brandeis University in 1998. She went on to work as Library Preservation Assistant at the Brooklyn Museum of Art and Conservation Assistant for Exhibitions and Loans at the New-York Historical Society. She also volunteered her time in the book lab at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and completed advanced internships at the New York City Municipal Archives, Syracuse University, Etherington Conservation Services, and the University of California Los Angeles.
