Abstract:
The discovery in 2021 of a new epigraph in the Numantia Site-Museum allowed us to tackle again the study of Numantine epigraphy. After an initial study in which a series of bibliographical errors and confusions accumulated over the years were perceived, we produced a new corpus in which all the documented fi nds are included, with updated information in accordance with current epigraphic studies. All of this is based on the premise of creating a very useful tool for the researcher, by presenting in a single work all the information available on the known pieces.

Fein, Ariel. "Kufic Epigraphy between Norman Sicily and Ifriqiya." Muqarnas Online 40, no. 1 (2024): 43–67. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/22118993_0040_004.

Abstract:
Abstract Current scholarship on the role of Islamic art in the formation of Norman Sicilian material cultures argues for the importing of artistic traditions from Fatimid Egypt. This Palermo—Cairo axis overshadows the cultural ties that linked Sicily with nearby Ifriqiya (modern-day Tunisia and Algeria), narrowly separated by the Strait of Sicily. This article explores the epigraphic and visual ties between Sicily and Ifriqiya through extant Kufic epigraphs. It presents for the first time the inscriptions of the Santa Maria di Terreti Church near Reggio Calabria, Italy, and the San Giovanni degli Eremiti and Santa Maria dell’Ammiraglio churches in Palermo, Sicily. Previously dismissed as pseudo-Kufic, these fragments preserve true texts whose ornament and epigraphy correspond to the visual traditions of Zirid Ifriqiya. They offer an alternative perspective to the notion of cultural discontinuity that has guided recent research on the arts of Norman Sicily, instead pointing to medium-specific continuity bridging pre-Norman and Norman rule.

Abstract:
Within the various research areas of Ancient History, Digital Humanities have gained a significant role in recent years. However, in the more specific field of Epigraphy, which is the topic of this contribution, although the usefulness of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has begun to be evaluated, these resources have largely been used as a complementary tool and not as an integral part of the epigraphic discipline. For this reason, it can be to present and describe those ICT-related tools that can be consider fundamental for a modern epigraphic study, with a particular focus on the Latin epigraphy of Roman Hispania.

Abstract Most well-known inscriptions are monumental texts carved on stone. In this contribution, on the other hand, we focus on small, often informal texts scratched or stamped on rocks, metal surfaces and pottery. To this type of so-called ‘little epigraphy’ belong for instance graffiti, ostraca, weights and measures, curse tablets, etcetera. Although the texts themselves are usually very short, together they constitute a large corpus.

Abstract:
Among the sources on the history of Islam in Dagestan, an important place is occupied by numerous epigraphic monuments of the region, the vast majority thereof being compiled in Arabic. During field studies of Arabic-language epigraphy in the villages of Akhtynski district of Dagestan, we identified inscriptions of various genres, whose texts included hadiths and utterances by prominent Islamic fig-ures and scholars of theology. Inscriptions consisting entirely of utterances by authoritative Muslim figures of the early era of Islam have been recorded. Such epigraphic monuments had not previously been the subject of a separate study. It has been established that the inclusion of texts of some hadiths is typical only of certain genres of epigraphy. For example, the texts of construction inscriptions re-garding the construction or repair of Islamic religious buildings, as a rule, contained the same hadith, its content being directly related to construction activities. The study demonstrated that educated people who had acquired knowledge in Islamic sciences and were familiar with authoritative collections of hadiths were among the compilers and calligraphers of inscriptions. The epigraphic materials presented are novel for the scholarly discourse.

Abstract:
The main goal of our study is to analyse the descriptive terminology used in academic discourse dedicated to Ukrainian epigraphy employing a corpus-based approach. Using the BootCat tool and custom tuples such as “епіграфіка графіті напис” and “корпус Україна графіті” we scraped the Web and generated a sample corpus containing Ukrainian texts related to Epigraphy. Our goal was to analyse the variety of epigraphic terms circulating the digital domain and the peculiarities of their usage. Our findings reveal variations in term usage in Ukrainian epigraphic texts, offering insights into their academic application. The case study showcased how synonyms can not only enrich a language, but also impose challenges in standardising terminology due to linguistic variations and the influence of individual scholars. The findings emphasise the need for a nuanced approach to developing standardised vocabularies, considering the linguistic, historical and cultural contexts. This study serves as a valuable example of how digital tools can aid in understanding and addressing the complexities inherent in preserving and studying cultural heritage in the digital age.

Some thoughts have been raised about the configuration of the epigraphic culture during the Republican period in the areas where South-eastern Iberian script was used and the Roman influence on this process. To this aim, changes in epigraphic documents and the use of writing are analysed, trying to keep an overall vision in wich the expansion of the paleohispanic epigraphy and the appearance of the Latin one are two sides of the same historic process.

Full text
Abstract:
Archaeology in Greece has a long history of reporting epigraphic discoveries, and in recent years the print versions have highlighted a number of finds which have added little by little to our understanding of the history and topography of ancient Athens, including many of the reports now available online (see, for example, inscriptions helping to identify the Sanctuary of Apollo Pythios [ID4053] and of Zeus Meilichios [Map 3, no. 1; ID4557], or new voting sherds from the Athenian procedure of ostracism [Map 3, no. 5; ID1877]). Archaeology in Greece Online tags epigraphic material within its reports, allowing the reader to search for inscriptions as a keyword and also by region (such as Attica). This review of recent Athenian epigraphic developments focuses on major finds of the last decade, in particular focusing on discoveries reported in periodicals and publications from Greece, which some may find difficult to access, and is of course a personal and only a small selection of the voluminous literature on the subject (for more thorough coverage readers are pointed to SEG, the superb annual review of all epigraphy-related publications).

Abstract:
The article investigates the social profile of Roman funerary epigraphy, focusing on Ostia and Pompeii, and reconsiders the predominant role of freedmen in this material. Comparing the epigraphic behaviour of decurions and freedmen, it concludes that the ‘epigraphic habit’ was not uniformly adopted throughout Roman society; different classes used inscriptions in different ways and for different purposes. The epitaphs do not therefore reflect the overall composition of the Roman population as much as the particular concerns and aspirations of individual social groups and categories within it.

Full text
Abstract:
This survey is intended primarily to assess the impact on Roman studies in general of recent work in Roman epigraphy — whether newly published inscriptions, revised editions, or texts that have been reconsidered or newly analysed in the light of specific themes. We mean to draw attention to those epigraphic studies that make a significant contribution, in particular, to Roman history. Hence the considerable space we devote below to the newly publishedSenatus Consultumon Cnaeus Piso, of which any future study of the reign of Tiberius (or of the relations between senate and emperor in the early Principate) will have to take account. Other highlights include a centurion's own reflections (in verse) on his unit's building works at Bu-Njem in Tripolitania; a major revision of the inscribed texts of Roman laws; the first known letter of Lucullus; and a new text from Messene orchestrating the city's responses to the death of Augustus. At the same time, in this introduction, we note one or two developments in recent epigraphic practice. Though these aspects are necessarily more technical, we include them in order to help readers to find the epigraphic data they might need (publication is increasingly diverse, and in an ever wider range of media); and then to assess the texts, the dates, and the conclusions the epigraphists are offering. ‘What you get’ in epigraphy is not necessarily ‘what you see’.

Abstract:
The first part of the paper explains the meaning of epigraphic monuments, the types of monuments and their importance for understanding of the past. The focus is on the value of this type of archaeological remains in the context of Southeast Europe. The paper also explains why classical epigraphic monuments should be digitalized because they are often inadequately stored in museums and other institutions. When it comes to the region of Southeast Europe, the majority of monuments were discovered in Croatia, but in other countries, this type of monument represents a valuable part of the classical heritage. To preserve these monuments and ensure that they are further used for research purposes, under the guidance of the Commissione epigrafia e informatica (AIEGL), in 2003 it was decided to create an international network of epigraphic databases EAGLE (Electronic Archive of Greek and Latin Epigraphy). For twenty years, epigraphers have been directly or indirectly working on the digitalization of classical epigraphic monuments which is one of the largest and longest archaeological projects in the world. The largest number of monuments from Roman provinces have been digitalized in the databases Epigraphic Database Heidelberg, Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss / Slaby, Ubi Erat Lupa, Roman Inscriptions of Britain, and Hispania Epigraphica Online. When it comes to Roman provinces from South-eastern Europe, we should single out Epigraphic Database Heidelberg (EDH) and Epigraphic Database Clauss / Slaby (EDCS). Epigraphic Database Heidelberg stores 6838 inscriptions from Croatia, 855 inscriptions discovered in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1460 inscriptions from Serbia, 384 from the territory of Albania, 315 from Montenegro, 375 from Northern Macedonia and 1108 from Slovenia.

Abstract:
Abstract: With epigraphs derived from a broad range of sources—Yoruban hymns, Jamaican proverbs, and contemporary poets, among others—Michelle Cliff's 1987 novel No Telephone to Heaven produces a Caribbean literary archive that differs compositionally and qualitatively from the colonial English canon's construction of literary authority. The epigraphs in Cliff's novel, read as a metanarrative, open up an explicitly literary space of resistance to enact a radical reordering of the aesthetic, historical, and cultural frameworks that shape most readers' understandings of what the term "canonical literature" encompasses. Cliff's epigraphs collectively comprise a network of influence that refuses conventional hierarchies of gender, national origin, and genre. In Paratexts: Thresholds of Interpretation , Gérard Genette outlined four functions for the epigraph, namely, elaborating on a primary work's title, commenting on the main text of the work, making a gesture of affiliation with the author of the epigraphed text, and indicating "the genre, or the tenor of a piece of writing … [giving] a signal (intended as a sign ) of culture." Cliff's text performs what I argue to be the epigraph's fifth function—that of conferring authority—to declare her own canon.

Abstract:
The issue of Polish epigraphy in the Caucasus is still very poorly understood and until now no one of the scientists has attempted to analyze this phenomenon. This is probably due to the very scant research material that can be relied on in the 21st century. Despite the passage of time, there are, however, sources that allow us to study Polish epigraphy in the Caucasus. It can be divided into four main groups: a) inscriptions on temples; b) epitaph; c) advertising epigraphs; d) graffiti, especially the kind called Style-Writing.Most of the Polish epigraphy in the Caucasus is associated with the presence of Poles in this area at a time when part of the lands of the Commonwealth was part of the Russian Empire. How many Poles ended up in the Caucasus and when is difficult to calculate, at least due to the lack of statistical data taking into account nationality. Presumably, although accurate calculations on this issue were not published, recruits from the territory of the former Rzeczpospolita to the Caucasus began to be expelled after 1773, i.e. after the I partition of Poland. The sending of exiles to serve in the Caucasus as a punishment took place, in turn, during the war, as, for example, after Napoleon's campaign in Moscow. Ludwik Wiedershal gave information that in 1812, apparently (it should be emphasized that the author used a conditional mood) 10 thousand Poles were sent to the Caucasus, although in 1815 almost all of them returned to the country. Other Polish groups exiled to the Caucasus included participants in uprisings for independence, as well as those who were repressed for participating in various organizations that, in the opinion of the tsarist government, posed a threat to the then existing system, for example, filarets, persons associated with the so-called Konarski case, and others.

Abstract:
The ancient epigraphy literature of the Bai nationality had been often sorted out, but its comprehensive research is relatively rare. Zhu An’nlu’s academic work, which named cultural interpretation of the Bai nationality’s ancient epigraphy literature, had regarded epigraphy literature as a unique carrier of Bai nationality’s culture and carried out cultural interpretation and comprehensive interpretation based on Bai nationality’s ancient epigraphy literature, it was unique in the study of the historical traditions of ethnic minorities in Yunnan. This book seemed simple and unadorned, but in fact, it was carefully constructed based on the internal academic and objective reality. It not only enabled the Bai nationality’s epigraphy literature and common ancient literature complementary, but also integrated the perspectives of literature, history, philosophy and other disciplines to find cultural concealment, the relevant argumentation was close to the academic frontier, and fully demonstrated the research personality in following the trend. The author had long-term continuous attention to the Bai nationality’s epigraphy literature and was superior to an ordinary scholar in academic feelings and humanistic realm, and on the whole, she had shown a relatively rare academic concentration and research level.
