Book Synopsis Ostraka in the Collection of New York University by : Gert Baetens
Download or read book Ostraka in the Collection of New York University written by Gert Baetens and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive edition and commentary of 77 ostraka Ostraka in the Collection of New York University is a comprehensive edition and commentary of 77 ostraka, or potsherds with ancient texts written on them, from Greco-Roman and late antique Egypt. Seventy-two of these ostraca are housed in NYU Special Collections, originally purchased by Caspar Kraemer in 1932, then the chair of the NYU Classics Department. Although Kraemer advertised the imminent publication of the texts in 1934 and later collaborated with the famed papyrologist Herbert Youtie, neither completed the project. The ostraka in this small collection span the 2nd century BCE to the 8th century CE and include both Greek and Coptic texts. The majority, however, form a coherent dossier of tax receipts related to mortuary activities in Upper Egypt during the reign of Augustus (texts 7-70, dated from roughly the last quarter of the 1st century BCE to 12 CE). The five ostraka published in this volume not held by NYU include one that had been part of Kraemer’s original purchase but was subsequently lost (thankfully preserved in a photograph in Youtie’s archive at the University of Michigan), and four ostraka now held by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The latter four texts were purchased separately and published previously, but clearly belong to the same group of texts. They are included in this volume both for the sake of completeness and because the present authors were able to improve the readings in light of the context provided by the dossier as a whole. In addition to the scholarly edition of these texts, the volume contains a full discussion of their provenance, the taxes involved, the taxpayers and tax-collectors, and a ceramological analysis of the sherds as media for these texts. The book will be of interest primarily to specialists in papyrology and scholars who study the economic history of the ancient Mediterranean, Hellenistic Egypt, the Roman empire, and papyrology.

Book Synopsis Papyri from the New York University Collection II (P. NYU II) by : Bruce E. Nielsen
Download or read book Papyri from the New York University Collection II (P. NYU II) written by Bruce E. Nielsen and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2010 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieser Band enthalt 53 literarische und dokumentarische Texte, die mit Ausnahme von zwei zugehorigen Fragmenten aus den Sammlungen von Princeton University, bzw. dem Istituto Papirologico 'G. Vitelli' in Florenz alle in der Papyrus-Sammlung der New York University aufbewahrt werden. Fur diese Publikation sind die ursprunglich in vier separaten Lieferungen der wohlbekannten Zeitschrift fur Papyrologie und Epigrafik (Bonn) erschienenen Texte neu durchgesehen und, falls notwendig, aktualisiert. Unter den dokumentarischen Texten sind alle Perioden aus der Geschichte des griechisch-romischen Agyptens zwischen 330 BCE und etwa 800 CE (d.h. die ptolemaische, die romische, die byzantinische und die fruh-arabische Periode) vertreten. Ein ebenfalls buntes Spektrum weisen die unterschiedlichen Herkunftsorte dieser Texte auf: die meisten Texte stammen aus dem Arsinoites, dem Oxyrhynchites oder dem Hermopolites, aber auch eine eher unubliche Provinz wie der Aphroditopolites ist vertreten, wahrend von vielen Texten die genaue Herkunft einfach unbekannt ist. Schliesslich sei darauf hingewiesen, dass die dokumentarischen Texte inhaltlich sehr verschieden sind: so sind Gattungen wie amtliche Korrespondenz, Privatbriefe, Steuer-Quittungen, Vertrage, Testamente usw. alle vertreten. Wahrend ein Uberblick der veroffentlichten New Yorker University-Papyri den Texten vorangeht, schliessen die ublichen Wortindizes den Band ab, an dessen Ende Bilder der einzelnen Objekte mitgegeben werden.
Book Synopsis The Early-Roman Period (30 BCE–117 CE) by : Noah Hacham
Download or read book The Early-Roman Period (30 BCE–117 CE) written by Noah Hacham and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-10-24 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period between the Roman take-over of Egypt (30 BCE) and the failure of the Jewish diaspora revolt (115–117 CE) witnessed the continual devaluation in the status of the Jews in Egypt, and culminated in the destruction of its Jewish community. This volume collects and presents all papyri, ostraca, amulets and inscriptions from this early Roman period connected to Jews and Judaism, published since 1957. It is a follow-up of the 1960 volume 2 of the Corpus Papyrorum Judaicarum. It includes over 80 documents in Greek, Demotic, and Hebrew, both documentary and literary. The expansion of the scope of documents, to include languages other than Greek and genres beyond the documentary, allows for a better understanding of the life of the Jews in Egypt. The documents published in this volume shed new light on aspects discussed previously: The Demotic papyri better explain the Jewish settlement in Edfu, new papyri reveal more about Jewish tax, about the Acta papyri, and about the developments of the Jewish revolt. The magical papyri help explain cultural developments in the Jewish community of Egypt. This volume is thus a major contribution to the study of the decline of the greatest diaspora Jewish community in antiquity.

Book Synopsis Greek Papyri by : Eric Gardner Turner
Download or read book Greek Papyri written by Eric Gardner Turner and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians, classicists, and archeologists will welcome Professor Turner's lucid introduction to the field of Greek papyrology. The relatively recent rediscovery of Greek (and Latin) texts on papyrus has made possible greatly improved editions of classic works and has provided a deeper understanding of life in classical times. Professor Turner considers papyrus as a writing material, goes on to the problems of excavating for papyri, editing a papyrus text, determining its author and owners, and so on. He discusses the relation of papyri to Greek literature as well as to various types of non-literary documents, and he assesses various contributions papyri have made to ancient history. A list of the principal editions of papyri is included. Originally published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Book Synopsis Digital Papyrology I by : Nicola Reggiani
Download or read book Digital Papyrology I written by Nicola Reggiani and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the very beginnings of the digital humanities, Papyrology has been in the vanguard of the application of information technologies to its own scientific purposes, for both theoretical and practical reasons (the strong awareness towards the problems of human memory and the material ways of preserving it; the need to work with a multifarious and overwhelming amount of different data). After more than thirty years of development, we have now at our disposal the most advanced tools to make papyrological studies more and more effective, and even to create a new conception of "papyrology" and a new model of "edition" of the ancient documents. At this turining point, it is important to build an epistemological framework including all the different expressions of Digital Papyrology, to trace a historical sketch setting the background of the contemporary tools, and to provide a clear overview of the current theoretical and technological trends, so that all the possibilities currently available can be exploited following uniform pathways. The volume represents an innovative attempt to deal with such topics, usually relegated into very quick and general treatments within journal articles or papyrological handbooks.

Book excerpt: “Everybody who has ever read a book will benefit from the way Keith Houston explores the most powerful object of our time. And everybody who has read it will agree that reports of the book’s death have been greatly exaggerated.”—Erik Spiekermann, typographer We may love books, but do we know what lies behind them? In The Book, Keith Houston reveals that the paper, ink, thread, glue, and board from which a book is made tell as rich a story as the words on its pages—of civilizations, empires, human ingenuity, and madness. In an invitingly tactile history of this 2,000-year-old medium, Houston follows the development of writing, printing, the art of illustrations, and binding to show how we have moved from cuneiform tablets and papyrus scrolls to the hardcovers and paperbacks of today. Sure to delight book lovers of all stripes with its lush, full-color illustrations, The Book gives us the momentous and surprising history behind humanity’s most important—and universal—information technology.
