Abstract:

The first part of the article describes the stylistic features of poetic epitaphs recorded during field surveys of provincial cemeteries in Perm Krai in 2019. These texts have not only historical and source-study, but also cultural value. The establishment of the features of the broad epitaph heritage in a particular historical period leads to an understanding of the worldview of representatives of everyday life of the given time. When classifying the material, the author took into account the nature of authorship and the genre function. On these grounds, the collected texts are divided into f

Abstract:

Our article is devoted to the analysis of plots appearing in poetic epitaphs from the 18th to the 20th centuries. The study focuses on a specific variety of this genre known as the literary epitaph. This term refers to a work dedicated to the memory of the deceased, existing in the form of a publication, distinguishing it from a real epitaph, which is placed on a tombstone. We note that features such as small volume, lapidary nature, formulaic style, and subject matter are characteristic of this genre and lead to distinctive elements in the plot structure of epitaphs. In such works, the eventf

The study examines the use of language in epitaphs from a sociolinguistic perspective.

Finally, the study aims to explore the cultural values and beliefs about death and the afterlife reflected in English epitaphs. This genre has received little attention in studies.

Abstract:

The article is about the transformation of the Epitaph genre in modern lyrics, in particular, in the work of Tatiana Danilyants. Despite the relatively recent interest in the genre of Epitaph, quite a lot of observations have already been made on the genre in the twentieth century. The Epitaph as a genre focuses on both elegiac and ironic pathos, throughout its development it is on the border of several modes, having a clearly defined character of the inscription, which varies from the inscription on the tombstone to the inscription about death (sometimes even epigrammatic).

Abstract:

Abstract Gravestones with Hebrew inscriptions are the most common class of Jewish monuments still present in such regions as Ukraine or Belarus. Epitaphs are related to various Biblical, Rabbinical, and liturgical texts. Despite that, the genre of Hebrew epitaphs seldom becomes an object of cultural or literary studies. In this paper, I show that a function of Hebrew epitaphs is to connect the ideal world of Hebrew sacred texts to the world of everyday life of a Jewish community. This is achieved at several levels. First, the necessary elements of an epitaph – name, date, and location marker –

In section II, the conventions of encomium in the epitaphs are compared to the iconographic conventions of funerary art. I conclude that verse inscriptions and grave markers, not only communicate the same message of praise, but do so in a formally parallel manner. Section III, drawing on Pindar as a pr

Abstract: The epitaph for Margarita ( CIL 6.29896) consists of six elegiac couplets in Latin engraved on a small marble plaque in commemoration of a domestic dog. It was discovered in Rome and likely made in the second century CE. In this paper I examine its allusions to Augustan elegy and verse epitaphs for humans, arguing that it humorously applies eroticizing and literary language to a dog. I then consider Margarita’s status as an import from Gaul, arguing that the epitaph fits into a broader tendency of Augustan elegy to use foreign luxuries to eroticize and naturalize Roman imperialism.

Second, it examines the creative potential of epitaph in Dickens's fiction, by tracing the migration of epitaphic text from actual to fictional inscriptions and between paper and stone.

Abstract:

There are two known stone monuments with epitaphs, written by Simonas Daukantas in his own orthography: for a relative priest Simonas Lopacinskis (died in 1814) and for his mother Kotrynė Daukantienė (died in 1847). Analysis of Lopacinskis’s epitaph spelling proves that Daukantas inscribed the text of the gravestone approximately in 1838–1841 (24–27 years after the death of Lopacinskis). His mother’s epitaph is said to be compiled by Daukantas in the beginning of 1848. And graphochronological research reconfirms that this epitaph includes features characteristic to Daukantas orthography in abo

Abstract:

The pavement lies like a ledger-stone on a tomb. Buried underneath are the remains of fertile landscapes and the life they once supported. Inscribed on its upper side are epitaphic writings. Whatever their ostensible purpose, memorial plaques and public artworks embedded in the pavement are ultimately expressions of civic bereavement and guilt. The pavement’s role as both witness and accomplice to fatality is confirmed by private individuals who publicize their grief with death notices graffitied on the asphalt. To walk the city is to engage in a dialogue about death.

Abstract Cols. 3–9 of 1QM appear to address military organization and tactics. However, the predominant focus in these sections extends beyond warfare to ceremonial elements such as trumpets, banners and the ritual inscriptions on them. Even the weaponry is described with meticulous attention to aesthetic and nonfunctional details, as one might find in a museum exhibition. A literary-rhetorical analysis of these columns points to ritual aspects crafted to evoke in the reader a perception of the war as a sacred, ritualistic event. This is achieved through repeated motifs, categorization into li

AbstractAfter an overview of the multilingual epigraphy of Daskyleion during the Achaemenid period, this paper focuses on the closing formula shared by the Aramaic KAI 318 and the Old Phrygian B-07 epitaphs, which consists of a warning not to harm the funerary monument. Comparison of the two inscriptions sheds light on the cryptic Old Phrygian B-07, the sole Old Phrygian epitaph known. As a result, the paper provides new Phrygian forms, like the possible first-person singular umno=tan, ‘I adjure you’, and a new occurrence of the Phrygian god Ti-, ‘Zeus’, together with a second possible occurre

The word appears frequently in Khitan Small Script epitaphs, and its pronunciationis known to be un or uːn, but its meaning has not yet been determined. Based on the parallel sentences in Khitan and Chinese seen in Epitaph of Xiao Chala Xianggong and the phenomenon that it is often carried over to a new line with spacing, this paper infers that its meaning is “sovereign”. By examining the antithetical sentences in Khitan small script documents and specific contexts, it is argued that its original meaning is “high”. Then, by combining relevant words from the kinship languages of Khitan, it is i

Survival and death are the two most important things in life. The ancient Chinese people attached great importance to death, so the funeral ceremonies were very complete. Since its inception, Taoism has actively participated in funeral activities, so the combination of epitaphs and tomb inscriptions has a historical origin. The establishment of a unified dynasty in the Sui Dynasty provided an opportunity for the integration and development of Taoism in the north and south. The Mao Shanzong (茅山宗) in the southern region began to spread to the north, gradually integrating Lou Guan Dao (樓觀道) and b

AbstractThis essay examines the women's role in Chinese Buddhism through a close reading of epitaphs from the Tang dynasty (618-907). During this period, more than ever before, the religion became instrumental in the development of mothers' identity and in the conceptualization of ideal maternal virtues. According to many Tang dynasty epitaphs (muzhi ming), it would appear that children of Buddhist mothers largely complied with their mothers' desire to leave the household life or to be cremated rather than buried after her death. They were also much more likely than children of Buddhist father

This paper explores Hayley’s approach to, and writing about, memorialising, focusing on his manuscript collection of epitaphs, his letters to Anna Seward about her epitaph on Lady Miller, and his memoirs and biographies. How typical was he of late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century memorialists? What does his writing about death—and his writing about writing about death—tell us about how his contemporaries were supposed to feel and express their feelings about the dead? How do his works illustrate what he and his contemporaries were expected to reveal or conceal about the dead, and about
