‎Publie a loccasion de lexposition Le Crepuscule des Pharaons. Chefs-doeuvre des dernieres dynasties egyptiennes, ce catalogue met en lumiere la richesse et la diversite de lart egyptien au cours du dernier millenaire de lhistoire pharaonique (1069-30 avant notre ere). Il reunit plus de cent pieces exceptionnelles provenant des plus grandes collections internationales dantiquites egyptiennes, dont lAgyptisches Museum de Berlin, le British Museum, le Musee du Louvre et le Metropolitan Museum of Art. Published concurrently with the exhibition Twilight of the Pharaohs: Masterpieces of the Last Egyptian Dynasties, this catalogue reveals the wealth and diversity of Egyptian art after the end of the New Kingdom (106930 BCE). It brings together over one hundred extraordinary artifacts from the most important international Ancient Egyptian collections including the Agyptisches Museum Berlin, the British Museum, the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Throughout this ten-century period marked by political upheavals and invasions, Egyptian art rooted in Ancient Egypt's dynastic tradition retained its full prestige and power. Characterized by a mastery of technique and a preference for formal purity, the period's artistic production combines an elegance of proportions with refined forms and subtle detail. It particularly excels in the unequaled perfection of its statuary.‎

‎The site of Capernaum, where Jesus preached and performed many of his miracles and from where five of the twelve apostles, foremost Peter originated, has attracted intense archaeological and scholarly interest ever since the American scholar Edward Robinson correctly identified its ruins with the center of Jesus' Galilean ministry in 1838. There are few sites like Capernaum, possibly with the exception of Qumran, where the interplay between the Scriptures, archaeology and written sources make any publication an event that immediately transcends the standard scholarly debate. No doubt such is the present publication of Bruno Callegher dealing with the isolated coin finds accumulated from the village area of Capernaum during surveys and excavations conducted over the past hundred years. In a meticulously detailed introduction Callegher takes his reader through the history of the sites' exploration focusing on the coin finds. Here for the first time a comprehensive picture of the coin finds at Capernaum and their historical and archaeological significance is presented. The introduction is not only extremely helpful for both laymen and specialists but also presents fascinating new information about unpublished coin material in the holdings of the SBF at Jerusalem. The chapter is followed by a in-depth analysis of the more than 1400 isolated coin finds with special attention paid to the provenance and the quantitative distribution of the coins by period - from the Seleucids to the Mamluks. By doing so for each of the periods Callegher moves beyond merely cataloging site coins used for dating excavated strata into the more fascinating facets of coin circulation and monetary history. In particular his minute description of the various categories of coins circulating in Capernaum during Roman and Byzantine rule (c. 90% of the total number of isolated coin found at the site) provide new and original insight into the use of money in Eastern Galilee during this period. Finally, the large number of references to the latest regional coin studies and sites and a copious bibliography turns Callegher's study into a vital tool for both historians and numismatists dealing with the Roman and Byzantine East. Il sito di Cafarnao, dove Gesu predico e realizzo molti dei suoi miracoli e di dove cinque dei suoi dodici apostoli - e Pietro in particolare - erano originari, ha attirato un intenso interesse archeologico e scientifico sin dal 1838, quando l'esploratore americano Edward Robinson ne identifico le rovine con il centro del ministero galilaico di Gesu. Sono pochi i siti come Cafarnao, con la possibile eccezione di Qumran, dove l'interrelazione tra Bibbia, archeologia e fonti letterarie fa di ogni pubblicazione un evento che trascende immediatamente il comune dibattito tra gli studiosi. Tale, senza dubbio, e la presente pubblicazione di Bruno Callegher sui ritrovamenti monetari nell?area del villaggio di Cafarnao che si sono accumulati in piu di cento anni di scavi. Nella Introduzione, piena di dettagli, Callegher conduce il lettore attraverso la storia dell'esplorazione del sito concentrandosi sul ritrovamento di monete. Qui si presenta per la prima volta una panoramica sui ritrovamenti monetari di Cafarnao e la loro importanza storico-archeologica. Questa Introduzione non solo e di estrema utilita sia per il lettore comune che per lo specialista, ma contiene anche non poche nuove informazioni relative a monete alla collezione numismatica, in parte ancora da pubblicare, dello Studium Biblicum Franciscanum di Gerusalemme. Segue l?approfondita analisi dei piu di 1400 ritrovamenti isolati prestando particolare attenzione alla provenienza e alla distribuzione quantitiva dele monete nei vari periodi - dai Seleucidi ai Mamelucchi. In questo modo si va al di la di un puro catalogo di monete utili per la datazione di strati archeologici, entro gli aspetti piu affascinanti della circolazione monetaria e della storia numismatica. In particolare la descrizione minuziosa dei vari generi di monete in circolazione a Cafarnao durante i periodi Romano e Bizantino (circa il 90% del nunero totale dei ritrovamenti isolati) offre un nuovo e originale punto di vista sull?uso delle monete nella Galilea orientale in questo contesto temporale. Finalmente, il gran numero di riferimenti agli ultimi studi numismatici e siti archeologici e l'abbondante bibliografia fa dello studio di Callegher uno strumento vitale per gli storici e per i numismatici che si occupano dell'Oriente romano e bizantino.

‎In 2012 presenteert het Drents Museum een grote overzichtstentoonstelling over de Vikingen. Deze nieuwe internationaal reizende expositie is samengesteld door het Nationaal Museum van Oudheden in Stockholm en doet als eerste Assen aan. Meer dan duizend jaar geleden doemden de Vikingen voor het eerst op voor de kusten van Ierland, Engeland en Nederland. Ze drongen met hun ranke en snelle schepen door tot ver in het binnenland van Europa. De veelal kerkelijke geschiedschrijvers uit die tijd maken melding van vreselijke verwoestingen door heidense barbaren. Maar wat weten we nu eigenlijk van dit volk dat wij Vikingen noemen? Hoe leefden ze en hoe zag hun wereldbeeld er uit? Waren het werkelijk alleen maar rauwdouwers of blijken ze in wezen niet veel gewelddadiger dan de troepen van Karel de Grote? Via zes verschillende thema's krijgen we inzicht in het dagelijks leven van de Vikingen, in hun vaardigheden en hun rituelen. Ook de mythologie en de symboliek van de Vikingschepen komt aan de orde. Met behulp van recente archeologische opgravingen en vondsten wordt het traditionele beeld van de Vikingen bijgesteld. Kortom, het boek werpt een nieuw en genuanceerd licht op dit bijzondere volk, dat zijn sporen in Europa heeft achter gelaten.‎

‎Corpus of Cuneiform Texts in the Metropolitan Museum of Art II Literary and Scholastic Texts of the First Millennium B.C,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2005 Hardback, XLIV+490 p., 220 x 285 mm. ISBN 9782503517407.‎

‎This important scholarly work is volume two in a series of four volumes that will publish all the more than six hundred cuneiform tablets in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Included are 106 religious, scientific, scholastic, and literary texts, written in Sumerian and Akkadian and primarily dated to the latter part of the first millenium b.c. They shed new light on the civilization of the ancient Near East - on its complex beliefs and customs and surprisingly vast knowledge of mathematics and astronomy - for both the contemporary scholar and interested reader. The texts are organized in five sections: Documents of the Temple Cult include hymns and prayers, rituals and petitions; Documents of the Incantation Priest, Diviner, Physician, and Magician reveal various categories of omens; Literary Texts present myths and legends; The Scholastic Tradition contains a variety of texts and lists, including mathematical and astronomical texts; and the final section covers Unidentified Fragments. Among the most important texts are No. 42, a fragment of the Babylonian version of the ancient Flood story, and No. 81, which attests to the intellectual achievement of Babylonian astronomers. Eighteen distinguished international scholars in the field have contributed transliterations and translations of each tablet, and these are accompanied by commentaries and by insightful introductory essays on each genre. The volume was assembled and edited by Ira Spar, Professor of Ancient Studies at Ramapo College of New Jersey, and W. G. Lambert, Professor Emeritus of the University of Birmingham, England. Lambert also contributed several entries and a general introduction that provides contextual information about the transmission of the literary and scholastic tradition in pre-Hellenistic Mesopotamia. The precise facsimile drawings of every tablet hand-made by Ira Spar are a valuable visual accompaniment to the text. This publication reaffirms the Museum's ongoing commitment to promote wider knowledge of Ancient Near Eastern civilization. And significantly, it appears at a time when better understanding of the history and culture of that region of the world holds particular relevance. Volume one of this series (1988) documents 120 tablets, cones, and bricks from the third and second millenia b.c. Volume three (2000) covers private archive texts from the first millenium B.C. Volume four, in preparation, will include an edition of cuneiform tablets written in the first millenium b.c. and inscriptions on bricks, cylinders, and prisms of royal records of the kings of Babylon and Assyria.

‎"...When considering the present book, one must bear in mind the dispersion of the documentation it considers, largerly unpublished material. After all, one of the most intriguing aspects of research, is the reevalutation of existing documentation. This sometimes rather tedious job becomes, in this case, real detective work. Searches for documents scattered in several countries, in countless archives, and in several languages, turns into a fascinating inquiry into the nature of past research, one that leads to a new understanding of the monument itself." (fomr foreword by Miljenko Jurkovic) "L'extreme complexite du dossier de l'eglise cathedrale de Porec, l'insuffisance des rapports publies, souvent dans des revues peu accesibles, leur dispersion liee a la diversite des intervenants et des administrations, l'importance de certains des documents retrouves justifient amplement la recherche et la publication. Il sera aussi un precieux temoin d'un passe, somme toute prestigieux, de l'archeologie de l'Istrie." (reviewer Noel Duval). Languages : English.‎

‎The Basilica of Sv. Marija Velika near Bale is, along with the early medieval Cathedral in Novi-grad, one of the most important Carolingian monuments in Istria. It is a part of a monastery complex, the remnants of which are still being excavated and researched. The church mani-fests traditional architectural forms: the origin of the three-aisled basilica with three-apsidal sanctuary with polygonal apses can be traced back to the time of Emperor Justinian, and the typology of capitals follows the famous 6th century examples from the basilica of Eufrasius in Porec, representing a variant of the type used in Constantinople and Ravenna. The hand of the stone-mason, ? The Master of Bale capitals? , was recognized also at some other Carol-ingian sites in Istria, and the products of his workshop were recognized as the first coherent pre-Romanesque sculptural opus in Istria, dated to the last quarter of the 8th century, to the time of important missionary activities in the areas under Carolingian rule.

‎Bilingual Notaries in Hellenistic Egypt. A study of Greek as a second language‎

‎Brussel, Koninklijke Vlaamse academie van Belgie voor Wetenschappen en Kunsten, 2012 Softcover, 291pp., 21x29.5cm., nieuw. ISBN 9789065691033.‎

‎In the Upper Egyptian town Pathyris nearly twenty bilingual family archives have been found, dating to the second and first centuries BCE. They contain different types of documents, but contracts play an important role. Most of the Greek contracts were written by notaries (agoranomoi), whose native language was Egyptian. This study describes the language contact situation in Hellenistic Egypt in general and in Pathyris in particular. Notarial offices and scribal families in Upper Egypt are also discussed. The main focus of the study is a thorough phonological and morpho-syntactic analysis of the Greek language of the bilingual notaries. With the help of handwriting analysis, we get close to studying idiolects. Some of the notaries had more transfer features from their first language than others. Especially a notary called Hermias used creative strategies to avoid certain Greek structures and his Greek seems to present a learner's interlanguage with first and second language structures intertwining.‎

‎Une quinzaine de specialistes font dans ce volume le point sur les acquis de la recherce et sur les problemes encores poses par Heracles, l'une des figures les plus celebres et les plus complexes qu'ait connues la mythologie greco-romaine. Les communications illustrent l'implantation du culte et du mythe, non seulement en Grece mais encore a Chypre et a l'Exteme-Occident. Elles montrent le heros penetrant l'Orient en vainqueur a la site d'Alexandre, s'installant a Rome et parmi les peuples italiques, et en Afrique enfin. Parallellement, c'est la complexite meme d'une figure mythologique qui se dessine; dieu ou heros, figure puissament syncretique qui charme divers heritages. Riches de confrontations et de discussions, ces textes eclairent beaucoup plus que la seule figure d'Heracles fut il le plus heroique des heros grecs. Ils sont l'occasion de debattre de la methode necessitee de prendre en compte la specificite des temoignages archeologiques ou litteraires, de poser en termes nouveaux le necessaire recours au comparatisme, de saisir les differences au moins autant que les convergences. Ils sont aussi une veritable interrogation sur l'imaginaire des Grecs, sur la complexite de leurs mythes, leur plasticite et leur pouvoir de reactivation tout au long de l'histoire, a la faveur des contacts noues avec des aires culturelles exterieures. Une reflexion fructueuse, dont l'interet tient pour beaucoup, a la confrontation de chercheurs qui, s'ils avaient tous consacre a Heracles un moment de leur reflexion, provenaient d'horizons divers et mettaient en oeuvre des lectures differentes des cultures et des mythes.
