Le papyrus dans tous ses États, de Cléopâtre à Clovis

Description et organisation

L’exposition « Le papyrus dans tous ses États, de Cléopâtre à Clovis » se tiendra du 18 septembre au 26 octobre au Collège de France. Cette exposition conduira les visiteurs à travers les lieux et les cultures où le papyrus a été utilisé, du pays de Cléopâtre à celui de Clovis. Grâce aux prêts d’institutions illustres (Louvre, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Archives nationales, Institut de France, Sorbonne Université, Collège de France, etc.), ils pourront admirer des manuscrits exhumés des sables d’Egypte, des parchemins de la célèbre bibliothèque d’Herculanum, des écrits signés par des empereurs byzantins, des papes médiévaux ou des rois mérovingiens… Tous ces précieux documents, écrits en de multiples langues et illustrant tous les domaines de la vie des Anciens, permettent de suivre l’histoire de ce qui, pendant plusieurs millénaires, a constitué le support essentiel de l’écriture dans tout le monde méditerranéen.
Toutes les informations sont disponibles sur https://www.college-de-france.fr/site/jean-luc-fournet/Le-papyrus-dans-tous-ses-Etats-de-Cleopatre-a-Clovis.htm

Nag Hammadi Bibliography Online

 

Description and organisation

Brill’s Nag Hammadi Bibliography Online (NHBO) is a cross-searchable database of books, articles and reviews, which contribute to the study of Gnosticism and early Christianity. The main objective of the NHBO is facilitating the work and international collaboration of all scholars working in this field. The NHBO succeeds and builds upon the comprehensive but now outdated three-volume Nag Hammadi Bibliography by the late D.M. Scholer. In addition to the data collated by Scholer, the new NHBO includes bibliographic data from 2013 onwards, as well as useful abstracts of every single entry, keywords, and classification data.

Features and Benefits

– Contains about 13,000 entries covering almost all books, journal articles and book articles in various languages on the Nag Hammadi Library

– Two installments per year (about 400 new entries).

– Includes the three Nag Hammadi Bibliography volumes by the late David Scholer

– Instant and cross-searchable

– Includes abstracts and keywords, which will also be added later to Scholer entries from before 2007.

In future, NHBO will also include links to search engines and online publications, and will provide the capability to export texts. The NHBO will be updated annually in order to provide Nag Hammadi scholars with an accurate and up-to-date online resource. In addition, missing bibliographic data for the years 2007 to 2012 will be added to the NHBO from December 2016 onwards. Once this task is complete, the NHBO team will also add the abstracts to the publications included in Scholer’s Bibliography.

The NHBO has three main priorities:

  1. Compiling the complete data on all academic publications on Nag Hammadi from 2013 onwards.
  2. Filling the hiatus between 2007 and 2012, between Scholer’s Bibliography and the NHBO.
  3. Completing Scholer’s data with the addition of abstracts and keywords to the existing materials.

NHBO’s timeline:

1st phase to cover data and publications from 2007 to 2020:

December 2016: publication for the years 2012 to 2015

December 2017: publication for the years 2011 and 2016

December 2018: publication for the years 2010 and 2017

December 2019: publication for the years 2009 and 2018

December 2020: publication for the years 2008 and 2019

December 2021: publication for the years 2007 and 2020

2nd phase (2022 to 2026) to cover data and publications from 2021 to 2025 and to add abstracts, complementary information, and links to the data from Scholer’s Bibliography.

Description and organization

Prototype: Under leadership of Roger Bagnall and with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, in 2006/07, Columbia University Libraries developed specifications for a ‘Papyrological Navigator,’ (PN) in order to demonstrate that multiple digital papyrological resources could be co-displayed in a scholarly web resource. In the following year a prototype PN was released. In 2007/08, with further support from the Mellon Foundation, a Duke-led team launched ‘Integrating Digital Papyrology’, whose three phases ran through 2012. The goals were to migrate the DDbDP from SGML to TEI EpiDoc XML, and from betacode to Unicode; to map DDbDP texts and HGV metadata to corresponding APIS images and catalog records, and to convert both HGV and APIS data to EpiDoc; to enhance the Papyrological Navigator; to create a version controlled, transparent and auditable, multi-author, web-based, real-time, tag-lite, editing environment, which–in tandem with a new editorial infrastructure–would allow the entire community of papyrologists to take editorial control of core disciplinary data. In 2009 the new PN and Papyrological Editor (PE) were moved to NYU’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, which was the seat of production until July 2013.

Release: In 2010 the new papyri.info was released to production (see J. Sosin’s presentation to the 26th Intl Papyrological Congress), featuring the new PE and a completely redesigned PN.

Stewardship: In July 2013 the Duke University Libraries, again with the generous support of the Mellon Foundation, launched the Duke Collaboratory for Classics Computing (DC3), a digital classics unit embedded in the Libraries. A core part of their mission is the maintenance and enhancement of the papyri.info toolset and community.

Moving Parts: See the top level data flow. The PN supports browse and faceted search of the constellation of papyri.info resources. It relies on an RDF triple store (Apache Jena) to manage the relationships between documents from different sources and Apache Solr for its search and faceting capabilities. The PE (1) allows users to add new or change existing ‘publications’ in the PN, edit the EpiDoc, either via database-style form (for APIS, HGV, BP) or proxy EpiDoc syntax called Leiden+ (for DDbDP), (2) enables submission of all such edits to peer review, which may result in commission of such to the canonical repository, and (3) provides transparent version-control (via git) of all such edits, system-wide. This bundle of services is referred to as Son of Suda on Line (SoSOL), in homage to the Suda On Line project and our colleague Ross Scaife.

Aï Khanoum, une cité grecque en Afghanistan et les maximes delphiques

Description et organisation

Il y a plus de cinquante ans, les premiers coups de pioche étaient donnés sur le site d’Aï Khanoum, au nord-est de l’Afghanistan.

Les fouilles archéologiques, menées entre 1964 et 1978 par Paul Bernard, directeur de la Délégation archéologique française en Afghanistan, et son équipe ont révélé l’existence d’une grande ville grecque. Ils ont alors découvert un palais, des temples, un théâtre, un gymnase ainsi que la sépulture du fondateur de la ville, Kinéas, qui fut peut-être un officier de l’armée d’Alexandre le Grand. Ces fouilles ont également mis au jour deux fragments d’une stèle, dite « stèle des 147 maximes delphiques » définissant les règles de conduite morale et sociale de la cité.

Commissaires de l’exposition :

Ville de Pithiviers – Direction de l’action culturelle

Guy Lecuyot, chercheur associé au laboratoire d’archéologie de l’École normale supérieure

Alain Thiollier, ancien attaché économique et commercial à l’ambassade de France en Afghanistan

Claremont Colleges Digital Libraries

Nag Hammadi Archive

Description and organization

The Nag Hammadi codices, ancient manuscripts containing over fifty religious and philosophical texts hidden in an earthenware jar for 1,600 years, were accidentally discovered in upper Egypt in the year 1945. A group of farmers came across an entire collection of books written in Coptic, the very language spoken by Egyptian Christians. The excavations, prepared by James M. Robinson, the former director of the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity and Professor Emeritus at The Claremont Graduate School, did not occur until 1975 due to travel restrictions and a breakdown in political relations between the United States and Egypt.

This immensely important discovery included a large number of primary Gnostic scriptures. One text in particular received much attention – the Gospel according to Thomas, which was originally called ‘the secret words of Jesus written by Thomas’. These texts, scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Truth, were once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define « orthodoxy. »  The discovery and translation of the Nag Hammadi library, completed in the 1970’s, has provided momentum to a major reassessment of early Christian history and the nature of Gnosticism.

The images in this collection record the environments surrounding excavations, visiting dignitaries, and the scholars working on the codices. Today, the codices are conserved at the Coptic Museum in Cairo and due to their antiquity and exposure are no longer completely legible. Photographs fortuitously taken in the late 1970’s are one of the only means of deciphering the writing contained in these ancient texts.

The Nag Hammadi codices images in this collection are the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity’s J-Series negatives taken by Basile Psiroukis in September 1973. They are an earlier and different set of photos than the ones published by E. J. Brill from 1973-79 as The Facsimile Edition of the Nag Hammadi Codices. These earlier J-series negatives include the photographer’s notes and contain many differences, large and small, from the Brill photos. Every effort has been made to match these negatives to the later UNESCO photographs published by E. J. Brill. Additional series’ of the codices are soon to be digitized and will be added to the collection.

Papyri Graecae Magicae

Description and organization

The Greek Magical Papyri (Latin Papyri Graecae Magicae, abbreviated PGM) is the name given by scholars to a body of papyri from Graeco-Roman Egypt, which each contain a number of magical spells, formulae, hymns and ritual. The materials in the papyri date from the 2nd century BC to the 5th century AD. The manuscripts came to light through the antiquities trade, from the 18th century onwards. One of the best known of these texts is the Mithras Liturgy.

The texts were published in a series, and individual texts are referenced using the abbreviation PGM plus the volume and item number. Each volume contains a number of spells and rituals. Further discoveries of similar texts from elsewhere have been allocated PGM numbers for convenience.

PGM XII and XIII were the first to be published, appearing in 1843 in Greek and in a Latin translation in 1885.

Bibliothèque Copte de Nag Hammadi

Description and organization

Home to the project governing the Francophone edition, translation, and publication of the codices. Many of the French translations are more recent and up-to-date with scholarship than those found in the NHLE, and so are worth consulting even by Anglophone scholars.
