Les sept études de ce volume portent sur les livres II et III de La République
de Platon. À la différence du livre I, où sont réfutées les définitions
traditionnelles de la justice, et du livre IV, où la justice trouve sa
définition à l’échelle de la cité et de l’âme, les livres II et III
présentent une multiplicité de sujets : la justice, la naissance et le
développement de la cité, la nécessité de la fonction des gardiens, la
nature et l’éducation des gardiens. Plus que des parenthèses ouvertes,
ce sont des emboîtements : la découverte de la justice requiert
l’observation théorique de la cité à son origine ; la cité, en se
développant, a besoin de citoyens dont la fonction exclusive est de la
préserver de ses ennemis tant extérieurs qu’intérieurs ; enfin, pour
effectuer cette protection dans l’intérêt de l’État, ces gardiens,
choisis pour leur nature, doivent recevoir une éducation profondément
réformée. Sans cette réforme, et sans les lois qui la constituent, la
justice resterait introuvable. Trois focales ont été adoptées dans
l’ouvrage : observer la productivité de l’éducation des gardiens
(musique et gymnastique) pour la cité, observer la productivité de ces
deux livres pour l’œuvre de La République, et observer les
produits singuliers de ces deux livres dans une comparaison avec
d’autres dialogues de Platon et avec d’autres corpus (Aristophane,
traités hippocratiques, Aristote).

It is forthcoming in the Duke Journal of Comparative & International Law. Here is the abstract.
The American Declaration of Independence and Revolution are linked to the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen and its Revolution through the mutual, strong influences of the Enlightenment philosophes whom both the American Founding Fathers and the French revolutionaries read. They also were linked through acquaintance and ongoing communication, with the American Declaration serving as a model for the first, but not final, draft of the French one. Both Declarations and Revolutions were to follow divergent paths through time, however, a cause for great concern in nineteenth-century France when intellectuals such as Laboulaye, Tocqueville and Taine, fearful for France’s future in yet another new régime, looked to America’s foundational documents and governmental system to uncover the secrets of America’s stability and of France’s failure to safeguard the principles of 1789. This article proposes that the answers were far less to be found in the U.S. documents or bicameral legislative structure than in a comparative, contextual examination of the two societies, their populations and their political histories. Those were the differences which led France to sink into a Reign of Terror within a few years of its Revolution and to proceed to seesaw among various forms of government thereafter, while the United States was able to enjoy a single Constitution and general political stability. The aims of each Revolution differed, as did the consequences of those differences, including how each nation perceived and dealt with freedom of religion, the abolition of slavery and the struggle for women’s equality. In France, the Revolution was intended to achieve a total rupture with the past, but France unwittingly fell prey to its past, as the absolutist tradition of the monarchy permeated its ranks in new ways, transforming egalitarianism into repression. In America, the colonists’ chief complaint had been their lack of representation in the British Parliament, not a wish to change a constitutional form of government which allowed for freedom of representation and had a king who bowed to the will of Parliament. After the American Revolution, the French looked to the new country overseas, often both idealizing and distorting it, with a view to how it could be a model for a new France. The two nations had a common point of departure in the literature of the philosophes which had deeply inspired and captured the imagination of the American Founding Fathers and the French revolutionary thinkers alike. Even a written text, however, is interpretive, such that the texts themselves were a function of what they meant to their readers. Some have thought that the Founding Fathers understood Montesquieu’s intentions better than the French. This article hopes to illuminate twists and turns from a shared point of departure, and to address ongoing debates concerning their nature.

Federalism in Action: Teaching Japanese American Incarceration During WWII. Thursday, September 10, 2026, 9am ET. [Register here.]
Join the National Constitution Center, the UCLA Asian American Studies Center, and Densho for a full-day professional development workshop exploring the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II through the lens of federalism and the Constitution.
Using the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans as a case study, participating educators will examine fundamental constitutional questions about the scope and limits of government power, the protection of civil liberties during wartime, and the role of the courts in reviewing government action. Through primary sources, historical scholarship, and classroom-ready resources, teachers will consider these questions from multiple perspectives and develop strategies for engaging students in rigorous constitutional inquiry.
Participating teachers will receive a $100 stipend and workshop materials, as well as light breakfast and a boxed lunch (dietary needs will be accommodated).
This program was made possible because of the National Constitution Center and The Asian American Foundation (TAAF).

Méconnu dans certaines facettes de son parcours, René Cassin demeure l’une des grandes figures du XXe siècle, juriste de la République et artisan des droits de l’homme. À la croisée du droit, de l’histoire et de la pensée politique, cet ouvrage éclaire les années fondatrices d’un itinéraire intellectuel et moral hors du commun : de la Grande Guerre à la France libre, de la refondation de l’État à l’avènement du droit international moderne. Issu d’un colloque réunissant chercheurs, enseignants et jeunes historiens du droit, ce livre explore un Cassin en mouvement : civiliste et internationaliste, humaniste et résistant ; dont la pensée, forgée dans les épreuves, reste d’une saisissante actualité. À l’heure où les droits de l’Homme vacillent sous la pression des crises, relire Cassin, c’est redécouvrir la force d’un idéal que seule la lucidité rend durable.

Aquesta col·lecció va néixer en 2014 al cor de l’Institut del Pròxim
Orient Antic (IPOA) de la Universitat de Barcelona. Des de llavors, les
seves publicacions de caràcter multidisciplinari han contribuït a
ampliar i aprofundir l’estudi de l’orientalisme antic. Sota els auspicis
del catedràtic emèrit Gregorio del Olmo, va ser impulsada per la
codirectora, la professora Adelina Millet, i, més tard, el catedràtic
Ignasi-Xavier Adiego es va incorporar a la codirecció.
Barcino proposa un diàleg entre història, arqueologia i filologia,
que ha originat dues sèries editorials: una general centrada en la
semitística, l’assiriología, la semitística nord-occidental, la
hititologia i l’arqueologia, i una altra dedicada als estudis
d’indoeuropeística, amb especial interès per les llengües anatòliques.

This volume brings together nine contributions from scholars who have taken part in the AGDAL project: Lameen Souag, Maarten Kossmann, Carles Múrcia, Kamal Naït Zerad, Stefano Struffolino, Samia Ait Ali Yahia, Ahmed M’Charek, Vermondo Brugnatelli and Grigori Lazarev. The AGDAL project is an interdisciplinary approach to the Amazigh language in antiquity based on the study of toponymy, ethnonymy, anthroponymy and other linguistic corpuses. Two axes of study converge in this project: firstly, Amazigh historical and comparative linguistics (Proto-Amazigh reconstruction and linguistic analysis of Latin, Greek, Libyan, Punic, Amazigh-Ibadite and Arabic philological and epigraphic sources) and, secondly, the sciences of antiquity applied to North Africa (geohistory, archaeology and anthropology).

This volume examines the evolution, adaptation and syncretism of Anatolian deities across a diverse range of linguistic and cultural contexts, including Hittite, Luwian, Carian, Lycian, Phrygian and Greek traditions. Employing philological, linguistic, epigraphic and archaeological methodologies, the contributions cover a broad chronological span, from the second millennium BCE to the Roman Imperial period. Key themes include prehistoric sacral hunting, the iconography of the bull, divine epithets and ritual practices, as well as the assimilation of local cults into the Greek religious framework. Through close analysis of divine names and cultic vocabulary in both textual and material sources, the volume offers new insights into the processes of religious continuity, reinterpretation and localization in ancient Anatolia. It constitutes a substantial contribution to the study of ancient religion, Anatolian and Greco-Roman studies, as well as Indo-European historical linguistics.

El propósito fundamental de este libro es acercar al lector al conocimiento de los esquemas de pensamiento de los autores cristianos siríacos del siglo VII d. C. que, en vísperas de, durante y tras la expansión de los árabes en el Oriente Próximo, escribieron o (re)compusieron varias obras de marcado carácter apocalíptico en la región del norte de Mesopotamia. El volumen ofrece un análisis lingüístico, temático y comparativo de los motivos literarios que configuran el concepto de guerra en estos textos. El estudio de las «imágenes» y «creencias» surgidas de este proceso de reescritura con fines más políticos que religiosos es esencial para comprender la formación de la conciencia identitaria de las sociedades medievales, tanto en Oriente como en Occidente.

Para analizar las fuentes escritas y su tradición, es conveniente que los historiadores eviten proyectar hacia el pasado los fenómenos del presente. Así, desde un planteamiento crítico, este libro analiza la lectura marxista de las fuentes escritas del Antiguo Oriente Próximo que se publicó en España en las últimas décadas del siglo xx. ¿Es aún válida la propuesta de interpretación marxista? La valoración que aquí se presenta no solo lleva a reexaminar los rasgos generales desde los que hoy entendemos la compleja realidad histórica del Antiguo Oriente, sino también a revisar a fondo nuestra actual percepción del marxismo como teoría de interpretación y como corriente historiográfica que, con salvedades, puede todavía aplicarse a una historia crítica del Antiguo Oriente Próximo.

Aquest volum presenta una gramàtica de l’accadi –la llengua més antiga de la família semítica– centrada sobretot en el dialecte paleobabiloni, que se’n considera l’estadi clàssic. També s’hi descriuen altres aspectes essencials, tant sincrònics com diacrònics, com ara les principals característiques del dialecte assiri o els trets bàsics del babiloni literari i del babiloni estàndard. L’objectiu d’aquesta obra és doble: d’una banda, posar una eina de consulta a l’abast de totes aquelles persones que ja tenen coneixements de l’accadi i, de l’altra, oferir-ne una primera aproximació als qui han estudiat una altra llengua semítica o als qui s’hi acosten per primera vegada.

Anatolian studies are currently flourishing, in all their linguistic, epigraphic and archaeological dimensions, with the incorporation of new young scholars, new discoveries, and different perspectives of analysis that enrich and deepen this wide-ranging and interdisciplinary field of study. This is why we are pleased to offer the present volume, which is not only devoted to the Anatolian divinities but also explores some very interesting linguistic and epigraphic novelties in the Anatolian languages. Written by relevant scholars working in the field, the articles in this volume cover a broad chronological spectrum from the second and first millennia BC.

Pelegrí Casades i Gramatxes fou un dels més grans divulgadors catalans en l’àmbit de l’arqueologia de final del segle XIX i principi del XX. Va pronunciar més de tres-centes conferències, principalment al Centre Excursionista de Catalunya (CEC), però també en altres institucions, com la Reial Acadèmia de Bones Lletres de Barcelona, l’Institut de Cultura i Biblioteca Popular de la Dona, el Col·legi dels Escolapis de Sarrià i el Centre Excursionista de Vic, entre d’altres. El present volum conté un estudi introductori de Jordi Vidal Palomino i la transcripció de les sis conferències que Casades va llegir al CEC entre el 13 de gener i el 17 de febrer de 1906. Malgrat que hi fa una interpretació dels aspectes més destacats de l’arqueologia i l’art mesopotàmics condicionada per la seva ideologia —catolicisme, antisemitisme i assiriofòbia—, queda palès que fou una personalitat destacada i reconeguda en el panorama arqueològic català d’aquella època.

Les preguntes i les respostes sobre els orígens del món que han plantejat les cultures del Pròxim Orient Antic i la Mediterrània continuen despertant un gran interès. En el present volum, quatre especialistes estableixen un diàleg entre les cosmogonies d’Egipte, Canaan, Mesopotàmia, Grècia i Israel, aportant una visió transversal que conjuga les dades més significatives de cada especialitat i els trets compartits amb les ciències veïnes. A més del caràcter interdisciplinari, el llibre destaca pel fet d’estar escrit en català, ja que no són gaire habituals els treballs dels àmbits de la història i la filologia antigues elaborats en aquesta llengua. Dirigit a un públic ampli, d’acadèmics, estudiants o simplement lectors interessants en el tema, La primera vegada del món ofereix una mirada panoràmica dels relats fundacionals de cada civilització, posant un èmfasi especial en els primers capítols del Gènesi, que transcendeixen l’àmbit d’Israel per esdevenir patrimoni cultural de tot Europa.

These are good times for research on Phrygian. More scholars than ever are focusing on this language and many novelties (including new inscriptions and innovative interpretations) are emerging relatively frequently. Promoting the diversity of starting point and focuses is a way to improve our knowledge and to achieve a better vision of the Phrygian language and the people who once spoke and wrote it. This book offers a range of approaches to Phrygian-related issues, with contributions from six relevant scholars working on this language (Ignasi-Xavier Adiego, Milena Anfosso, María Paz de Hoz, Anna Elisabeth Hämmig, Bartomeu Obrador-Cursach an Zsolt Simon).

The ancient Near Eastern city of Emar (also called Imar)—modern Old Meskene (Meskene Qadima) or Tell Meskene—was discovered in the course of rescue excavations conducted during the construction of a dam near Tabqa, in northern Syria. Between 1972 and 1976, excavations were carried out by a French team. Archaeological activities were resumed in 1991, first by the Department of Antiquities in Aleppo, and then from 1996 to 2002 by a joint Syrian-German mission. During the French excavations, more than 1100 clay tablets—or fragments of tablets—were discovered, most of them written in Akkadian and Sumerian, covering a wide range of genres. Illegal digs—that took place after the French team left the site—also produced about 350 tablets. The material can be dated approximately to the second half of the 2nd millennium BC, i.e., the Late Bronze Age. The extraordinary importance of the Emar texts led to the development of an international and very productive field of research that goes beyond disciplinary boundaries. Against this background, the idea of a thematically organised bibliography of studies on Emar was born in the early 2000s and published in eight issues in the journal Ugarit-Forschungen. The 50th anniversary of the start of the excavations at Emar is a good opportunity to make the entire bibliography available in book form. To the usual thematic outline, a list of book reviews has been added, as well as a complete bibliographical list, arranged by author.

This volume focuses on contacts between Anatolian languages within and outside Anatolia. The selected essays, written by members of ongoing research projects on Anatolian languages, present case studies from both the first and second millennia. These include etymological and morphophonological investigations within the framework of Graeco-Anatolian contacts, as well as a critical essay on the possible Anatolian-Etruscan contacts. Alongside strictly linguistic analysis, the essays cover different aspects of cultural contacts (the origin of the word for ‘salt’ in Luwian), toponyms (in Lycia), and religion (the god called King of Kaunos), and are introduced with a detailed overview of the origins of the Anatolian linguistic landscape.

This volume contains a complete edition of sixteen Neo-Sumerian barley allotment rolls from the Umma region, twelve of which are currently kept in the Iraq National Museum, while the other four tablets remain in private hands. The work includes a study of the lists of workers and the different professions and occupations of the personnel, and establishes the possible context of the tablets. An analysis of the rich onomastic material recorded in the texts is also provided, as well as a prosopographical evaluation of each individual.

La exploración de Oriente y Egipto estuvo dominada, entre los siglos XVIII y XIX, por las tres potencias de la época: Francia y, siguiendo su estela, Gran Bretaña y Alemania, que sentaron los fundamentos de la asiriología y la egiptología. A pesar del contexto poco favorable, tanto España como Portugal también hicieron esfuerzos —en general en intervenciones aisladas y personalistas— para contribuir a la investigación en estos ámbitos. Esta monografía reúne los estudios de una serie de especialistas hispanolusos realizados con el objetivo común de recuperar el legado de algunos de estos pioneros españoles y portugueses en el campo de las antigüedades orientales y egipcias, y de reivindicar el trabajo de las instituciones, los viajeros, los diplomáticos y los coleccionistas que abrieron el camino por el que hoy transitamos.

This book focuses on Luwic languages, bringing together approaches from Indo-European linguistics and language reconstruction and also from other intrinsically related disciplines such as epigraphy, numismatics and archaeology, and shows very clearly how these disciplines can benefit from each other. The volume gathers together the most recent results of investigation in the field, and is the natural extension of recent work completed by a research group on Luwic dialects over a number of years. Among the thirteen contributions, fitting neatly within the Luwian and other Anatolian languages, a rich variety of subjects are covered: epigraphy, grammar, etymology, textual interpretation, and archaeological context.

El Apocalipsis del Pseudo Atanasio, una obra compuesta originalment en copto –del que deriva la presente recensión en lengua árabe–, se inserta en el seno de la tradición apocalíptica oriental, con innovaciones propias del medio copto tanto a nivel histórico como literario. En la línea de los temas transmitidos por esta tradición y con una tendencia a la exposición sumaria, el autor articula de un modo ejemplar los mecanismos literarios y la confección narratológica del texto. La obra desempeña, entre otras funciones, la de propaganda política contra la expansión árabe-islámica en Oriente Medio, después de que las comunidades cristianas ocupadas realizasen un interesante proceso de reflexión acerca de las causas teológicas, políticas y sociales que supuso la invasión árabe del siglo VII.

La Biblia hebrea, uno de los modelos vertebradores de la cultura occidental, ha ejercido un influjo constante en el imaginario de su creación artística. Y esto, en todos sus ámbitos (pintura, iluminación, escultura, música, cinematografía), pero de manera especial en el literario. El teatro nace en el medievo como «representación» de temes y personajes bíblicos; innumerables obras literarias (poéticas, dramáticas y narrativas) de siglos posteriores hallaron en la Biblia hebrea, no solo argumentos de representación del pasado, sino sobre todo «arquetipos» de valor universal sobre los que organizar y resolver las situaciones y conflictos de la existencia humana, tal y como afloraban en los sucesivos momentos históricos. A pesar de la secularización de la cultura moderna occidental, la Biblia ha mantenido su influjo como referente válido de su creatividad y simbolización. La presente guia intenta ofrecer una visión de conjunto de ese influjo y facilitar su estudio a personas interesadas en esta parcela de la literatura comparada.

En la presente miscelánea se recogen estudios redactados por el autor a lo largo de más de cincuenta años de dedicación al esclarecimiento del texto hebreo-bíblico desde la perspectiva contextual cananeo-ugarítica. Organizados en tres grupos temáticos, los artículos tratan en líneas generales sobre cuestiones relacionadas con la interculturalidad sociorreligiosa, con la intertextualidad ugarítico-hebrea y con aspectos estilísticos y literarios de la Biblia hebrea. Por las reflexiones en torno a temas tan vigentes como los problemas de la traducción o el impacto del descubrimiento del Oriente antiguo en la cultura occidental, el interés de esta obra va más allá de los círculos de especialistas a quienes en principio va dirigida.

THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART BULLETIN | VOLUME 84 | NUMBER 1
When the grand palaces of ancient Assyria were excavated in the
nineteenth century, a creative meeting between two vastly different
empires began. This Bulletin explores the art of the
Neo-Assyrian Empire—centered in northern Iraq between the ninth and
seventh centuries BCE—alongside the British Assyrian Revival style that
followed millennia later. As European audiences developed a fascination
with the discoveries made at the archaeological sites in Nineveh and
Nimrud, British artists produced drawings as well as jewelry, ceramics,
bronzes, and other decorative arts to fuel this cultural phenomenon.
Interpreting and repurposing ancient imagery, including that of the
human-headed winged bull and lion now in The Met collection, designers
reimagined the past to align with their own interests and cultural
backgrounds. In dynamic essays, Michael Seymour investigates the
entwined histories between ancient Mesopotamia and the Victorian era,
while Constance McPhee analyzes British depictions of common European
subject matter influenced by the aesthetics of the excavations. A lively
interplay between artistic imagination, archeological information, and
cultural exchange, Inspired by Assyria illuminates how ancient art continues to shape our narratives and legacies.

J. Röhrig examines the oracles concerning Egypt in Ezekiel 29-32 from a
literary-historical and religious-historical perspective. The
literary-historical analysis combines text-critical and
redaction-critical observations. It results in a redaction-historical
reconstruction that ranges from earliest tradita from the 7th-6th
centuries to comprehensive scribal additions in the Hellenistic period,
thereby taking into account the connections of the seven texts with the
surrounding Book of Ezekiel. The religious-historical analysis
focuses on potential Egyptian influences in the texts, paying particular
attention to sources from Late Period Egypt. It uncovers the authors'
and editors' increasing familiarity with genuinely Egyptian religious
ideas and traditions. In addition to this increased »Egyptization« of
the Egypt oracles, another parallel trend can be identified in the later
levels of the text: an increasing »Israelization« of Egypt, which is
increasingly seen as an other counterpart to YHWH, similar to Israel. From
a methodological perspective, the work highlights the great theological
potential that still lies in the diachronic analysis of this corpus of
oracles, which in the recent past has been examined almost exclusively
»synchronically,« and emphasizes the importance of the methodological
intertwining of text criticism, redaction criticism, and
religious-historical methods.

Leonie Panov examines the origins and development of the concept of
divine law during the Neo-Assyrian period and highlights the
significance of this concept for the relationship between law and
religion in the history of ancient Israel and Judah. In doing so, she
draws attention to the political and theological issues surrounding the
role of the king. A second question concerns the scribal groups
responsible for the literary processes by which the law was theologized.
Another focus lies on identifying the religious elements in legal
practice, which are evident in biblical procedural law, ordeal
proceedings, or legal rituals. Panov insists on a crucial distinction:
the literary theologization of law on the one hand, and the religious
elements embedded in actual legal practice on the other. Against the
backdrop of the ancient Near Eastern legal tradition, this study
reconstructs the transformation - unique to the Hebrew Bible - of
secular law into a law given by God. In this context, it is striking
that the biblical legal texts say remarkably little about the
institution of kingship - an observation that is apparently closely
linked to the concept of divine legislation: Once God is the lawgiver,
the content of the legal texts requires no legitimation by a king. In
addition, the study examines the role of priestly scribal groups and
discusses the intersections between legal development and the sphere of
religion in legal practice. The author thus makes a fundamental
contribution to our understanding of the interplay between law and
religion in ancient Israel and Judah and opens up new perspectives for
research into biblical legal history.

La documentation épigraphique en Occident a fourni des textes rédigés en
grec, qu’ils proviennent d’aires géographiques profondément hellénisées
(Italie du Sud, Sicile) ou de zones en contact avec des hellénophones :
non seulement la ville de Rome, capitale d’empire, a produit un lot
impressionnant d’inscriptions grecques, mais on en trouve aussi dans le
reste de l’Italie centrale et septentrionale, en Afrique du Nord, dans
les Espagnes et les Gaules jusqu’en Rhétie. Les contributeurs de ces
actes de la XXIIe Rencontre franco-italienne sur l’épigraphie
du monde romain se sont attachés à contextualiser ces textes à
l’échelle d’une province ou d’une cité, tout en soulignant d’une part
leur spécificité propre ainsi que les conditions locales d’émergence
d’une épigraphie grecque en terre latine. En arrière-plan, le grec
apparaît comme un indice de la présence de personnes venues des
provinces hellénophones tout comme un marqueur social et culturel. C’est
ainsi que par le biais de ces différentes lectures, le grec
épigraphique en Occident peut être abordé à la fois comme une strate
particulière au milieu des autres langues attestées épigraphiquement
dans un monde majoritairement latinophone et comme une langue impériale,
partagée par des élites gouvernantes imprégnées par la culture
gréco-latine. Ces documents épigraphiques, souvent rares et
fragmentaires, révèlent ainsi tout un pan des échanges économiques,
culturels, religieux, politiques entre Orient et Occident.

Chimtou, ancient Simitthus, is located in northwestern Tunisia on the
Medjerda River near Jendouba. It is famous for its ancient and modern
quarries, where the yellow “Numidian marble” was extracted. In the
1990s, a new archaeological museum was constructed and installed there
in German-Tunisian cooperation, next to the workshop buildings of the
early twentieth-century quarries.
During excavation work for the museum complex in May 1993, workers
discovered a broken ceramic vessel in a construction pit filled with
Late Antique gold coins dating to the early 5th century AD. This hoard,
consisting of 1,648 coins (1,647 gold and 1 silver), is presented in
detail in this volume, after having first been exhibited in 1995 in the
French-Tunisian exhibition Carthage. L’histoire, sa trace et son écho in Paris and briefly discussed by its discoverer, Mustapha Khanoussi.

Unchanged digital reproduction of the print edition (published 2005)
The archaeological and architectural-historical research at
Chemtou/Simitthus was carried out between 1968 and 1992 under the
direction of Friedrich Rakob and ranks among the most significant
German-Tunisian cooperative projects in North Africa. Following the
author’s first encounters with the excavations in the late 1970s,
particular interest developed in the labor and quarry camp, whose
possible military function became a subject of discussion. In 1992,
Mustapha Khanoussi began large-scale excavations of the enclosure wall
and the buildings in the eastern sector of the camp. In 1997, the
Tunisian Institut National du Patrimoine invited the German
Archaeological Institute to continue the successful collaboration. Under
the author’s direction, a first new German-Tunisian excavation campaign
took place in 1998.
This volume primarily publishes the results of the investigations in
the eastern sector of the labor and quarry camp. The research led to
surprising new findings: rather than being used for military purposes,
the area apparently housed civilian marble-working workshops (officinae marmorum).
The volume presents the architectural remains, analyses of the building
layouts, and the stratified ceramic assemblages that allow for a more
precise dating of the site. In addition, it includes the first
comprehensive publication of the coins recovered during the earlier
excavations of 1968–1980, together with their archaeological and
numismatic analysis carried out in collaboration with Hans Roland
Baldus. These studies provide new insights into the chronology of
individual areas of the camp and into coin circulation in the province
of Africa Proconsularis during the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. The volume
is further complemented by plans, profiles, object drawings, and
detailed documentation of the excavation results.

The setting for a murder that took place in the early days of the New South Wales penal colony in Australia was the regional town of Agnes Banks. Beginning with an outline of the transported convicts William Williams from England in 1798 and Julia Leahy from Ireland, the paper follows the life of their daughter, Mary Ann, who married the unrelated Robert Williams in 1840, who had the distinction of having all four grandparents as convicts. Some forty years later, in 1881, the now mentally challenged Robert was charged with murdering a neighbour, William Freeman, and was committed to an insane asylum where he remained for the rest of his life. The research reflected in this paper shows that there were numerous flaws in the prosecution's case, which was treated as open and shut. Robert had pleaded not guilty, and there was every chance he was correct. This paper examines the lead-up to the trial and the questions that should have been asked to avoid a possible miscarriage of justice.

In America, we’ve now had 250 years of criminal juries. And our high court will soon decide whether, everywhere in this country, they must consist of the mythic number of twelve. So, there is no better time to turn to where it all began: Aeschylus’s Oresteia. Written and first performed nearly 2500 years ago, and today the only remaining Classical Greek trilogy, it provides the earliest surviving description of jury trial. It is the jury’s very origin story, written to justify and celebrate the transition from clan vengeance to this democratic adjudicatory form of State-monopolized violence, and it speaks as poignantly today as when it won first prize at the Great Dionysia thousands of years ago. For that first jury was not only a voice of the people, but also, and critically, a voice of mercy.

Burset, University of Pennsylvania Law School, have posted Why General Law?
It has been almost a century since the Supreme Court said in Erie, "There is no general federal common law." But the general law is in the middle of a controversial revival. Instead of siding with the adherents or detractors of general law, this Essay explores why general law emerges, and why it disappears. Three episodes of the emergence of general law are considered: the rise of general law in the late-eighteenth century British Empire, the rise of general law in the early American Republic, and the rise of general law in twenty-first century originalist and textualist scholarship. In each of these episodes, general law is a solution to a problem of missing law. The law it provides is formally acceptable, abstract, and locally defeasible. These characteristics make general law valuable, but they also tend to make it temporary, as it provides the scaffolding for the construction of a more permanent legal regime.

Mi investigación se centró en un caso de estudio fascinante: los juicios de Remigio Márquez. Se trataba de un hombre mulato de Nueva Granada de principios del siglo XIX, una figura atrapada entre categorías jurídicas cambiantes, jerarquías raciales y realidades coloniales.
Para dar vida a la narrativa histórica y experimentar con nuevas formas de comunicar procesos históricos complejos, en un trabajo anterior sobre Remigio Márquez había elegido un medio bastante inusual para contar su historia: la novela gráfica. Como forma de arte secuencial, los cómics de este tipo ofrecen una potente combinación de narración visual y profundidad textual, lo que los hace ideales para explorar la historia jurídica de una manera accesible y más atractiva. Este proyecto también fue profundamente personal, ya que se basaba en mi investigación en curso sobre el cómic como medio de expresión histórica y cultural, y este fue un hilo conductor que pude desarrollar aún más durante mi estancia en Fráncfort, donde una creciente colección de cómics está contribuyendo a redefinir cómo entendemos su papel en la memoria pública y la investigación intelectual.
En esta entrada, comparto el proceso que hay detrás de la nueva investigación, las perspectivas que ha revelado y por qué la narración, especialmente cuando se lleva a cabo a través de narrativas visuales, puede ser una herramienta vital para reimaginar el pasado. Bienvenidos a la intersección entre el derecho, la historia y el arte.

Quest'opera si offre al lettore come un affresco denso e minuzioso del pensiero giuridico nell'aurora dell'età moderna: ne indaga le radici più profonde, ma al contempo ne scruta gli orizzonti futuri. Rafael Ramis-Barceló ci guida in questo viaggio intellettuale con mano sicura, attraverso un'analisi rigorosa che attinge al metodo fecondo della storia concettuale. Le conclusioni cui l'autore perviene, tutt'altro che prevedibili, sovvertono consolidate certezze storiografiche: la nascita della nozione di "filosofia del diritto" viene infatti retrodatata di circa due secoli. Una genesi, questa, che non germoglia in isolamento, ma si intreccia inestricabilmente con le dispute sull'insegnamento universitario della giurisprudenza, nelle accademie europee, e con l'anelito mai sopito dei giuristi di volgere il pensiero giuridico verso una sempre più compiuta autonomia dalla teologia e dalla stessa filosofia.

Charles Louis de Secondat Baron de la Brède et de Montesquieu's De l 'Esprit des Lois created a sensation when it was first published in 1748, for reasons that I will touch on in this review; but contemporary readers are likely to balk at reading it from end to end. Montesquieu packed, so it seems, pretty much everything he knew into De l'Esprit des Lois. He knew a lot; and it can be a struggle to plow through it all, for example when it comes to his lengthy, and out of date, disquisitions on German law. I will not suggest that readers - even the learned readers of Comparative Legal History - should feel ashamed if they lose steam while trying.
That said, Montesquieu was, in a word, a genius. His thoughts, some of them presented in chapters hardly longer than post-it notes, are always engaging and frequently brilliant, even if now and then they seem comical or even sinister. (More on that anon.) He deserves more credit than he always gets, for example for discovering fundamental principles of proportionality and deterrence that we usually attribute to Bentham. Not least, he brought a kind of intellectual daring to his comparative work that was rare in the mid-eighteenth century, and that remains rare today - so much so that the reaction of this reviewer, after reading this excellent new annotated edition from Gallimard, is to wonder, wistfully, whether we are falling short of the standard he set two and a half centuries ago.
What modern readers undoubtedly know best are Montesquieu's reflections on the functioning of monarchy, democracy and despotism, which occupy the opening books of the Esprit des Lois and still hold a place on the political theory syllabus. There is much more to Montesquieu's masterpiece than that, though, most of which is neglected or dismissed. This is notably true of one of the claims on which he was most insistent, his theory of the formative effect of different climates on the law. 'Climate determinism', as Ralf Michaels drily writes, 'seems eccentric to comparative lawyers today'. So it does, though Michaels makes an audacious case for a creative return to it. I will not defend climate determinism in its original form (and neither does Michaels). But I will defend the scientific, and moral, attitude that led Montesquieu to it. [...]

The German-Tunisian research project at Chemtou / Simitthus began in
the 1960s and was largely initiated by Friedrich Rakob, Josef Röder, and
Theodor Kraus. The starting point was the interest in the Numidian
sanctuary on the Djebel Chemtou as well as in the important ancient
marble quarries of the famous “giallo antico” (marmor Numidicum). Since
the first joint excavation campaign of the Tunisian INAA and the German
Archaeological Institute in 1968, the project developed into a long-term
research program focusing on the Numidian predecessor settlement, the
Roman colonia of Simitthus, and the organization of ancient marble
extraction.
The research concentrated on three main themes: the investigation of
the Numidian period and the sanctuary on the temple hill, the study of
the marble quarries and their unique Roman workers’ and administrative
camp, and questions concerning the history and status of the Roman city.
Significant discoveries were made, including a Numidian necropolis
beneath the later Roman forum, rock-cut reliefs on the temple hill, new
epigraphic evidence, and indications of the presence of Roman military
units and veterans in Simitthus. The excavations also demonstrated that
the Numidian sanctuary was not an isolated monument but part of a larger
settlement structure.
This volume is primarily devoted to the history, organization, and
technology of the Roman marble quarries of Chemtou. It publishes studies
on quarry and block inscriptions by Theodor Kraus, the documentation of
the Saturn rock reliefs on the temple hill, and contributions by
Mustapha Khanoussi concerning the military presence and newly discovered
inscriptions. In addition, the volume includes studies of technical
constructions at the Oued Medjerda, especially Trajan’s bridge and an
exceptional ancient turbine mill, both investigated by Josef and Gertrud
Röder.

Synopsis
Unchanged digital reproduction of the print edition (published 1994)
The German-Tunisian excavations at Chemtou/Simitthus began in 1968
with investigations of a Roman camp that had previously been identified
through aerial photography. Surveys had already been carried out since
1965 in the ancient marble quarries and at the sanctuary on the Temple
Mountain. The aim of the project was to study the important Roman marble
extraction site and its religious and military installations. During
the excavations, later military structures were removed, ancient
foundations were uncovered, and parts of the sanctuary were conserved.
Instead of reconstructing the sanctuary, a low marble pedestal was
erected on the Temple Mountain as a visible landmark.
In the following decades, research focused on the unique labor and
administrative camp of the imperial quarries. Of particular importance
was the excavation of the so-called Ergastulum-Fabrica, which had
initially been interpreted as a workshop but was later identified as a
workers’ barracks. Further investigations concerned temple complexes,
cult precincts, necropoleis, a Byzantine basilica, and urban structures
such as baths, aqueducts, and bridges. Numerous German and Tunisian
archaeologists, restorers, and specialists collaborated in the
excavation, restoration, and analysis of the finds.
This volume primarily publishes new results concerning the history
and function of the Roman camp, especially the military presence in the
quarry area from the 1st century AD onward. A particular focus lies on
the Temple Mountain and the investigation and identification of its
sanctuaries from the early Numidian to the Byzantine period. The volume
also highlights new findings on the Ergastulum-Fabrica as well as on
water management and the camp’s bath complex. In addition, it includes
an analysis of the pottery discovered within the camp. The publication
further contains reconstructions, architectural surveys, and detailed
drawings documenting the archaeological remains.

La revue à caractère scientifique Methodos. Savoirs et textes
est une revue annuelle dont le premier numéro est paru en janvier 2001.
La perspective adoptée est résolument interdisciplinaire. Issue de la
rencontre d’historiens des sciences, de philosophes et de philologues
réunis dans l’Unité Mixte de Recherche “Savoirs, textes, langage” (UMR 8163, STL) dépendant du CNRS et de l’Université de Lille, Methodos
est ouverte à différentes disciplines représentées dans ce laboratoire
de recherche (philologie classique, histoire des sciences et
philosophie) à condition que les études proposées partent d’un travail
sur les textes.
Prochain numéro
Methodos 26 : Phenomenology of (un)certainty / Phénoménologie de l'(in)certitude
Longtemps éclipsée par
l’extraordinaire fécondité des traditions mathématiques arabes et par
l’essor sans précédent de la logique au sein du Moyen Âge latin, l’étude
de la culture mathématique de l’Occident latin demeure entravée par
d’importantes lacunes textuelles et par des interrogations
historiographiques encore irrésolues.
S’appuyant tant sur l’édition
de textes jusqu’ici inédits que sur l’analyse de concepts structurants
et de débats doctrinaux déployés au carrefour des diverses disciplines
constitutives de la pensée mathématique médiévale, les contributions
réunies dans ce volume proposent une série d’essais thématiques qui
entendent explorer un domaine riche, quoiqu'encore relativement peu
étudié : celui des mathématiques médiévales dans le monde latin, sa
vitalité conceptuelle, sa pluralité disciplinaire et son profond ancrage
culturel entre les XIIIᵉ et XVe siècles.
Ce numéro se veut également
un hommage rendu à l’œuvre de Jean Celeyrette, dont les recherches
majeures sur l’histoire des mathématiques médiévales ont, au fil des
années, contribué à renouveler l’attention des spécialistes pour un
champ dont l’importance historique n’a d’égale que la profondeur
conceptuelle. Puissent les études ici rassemblées offrir un tableau plus
clair et plus nuancé des rôles que les mathématiques ont joués dans la
formation, la transformation et la circulation des savoirs scientifiques
au long du Moyen Âge latin.
*****
Long
overshadowed by the extraordinary fertility of Arabic mathematical
traditions and the unparalleled development of logic within the Latin
Middle Ages, the mathematical culture of the Latin West is still beset
by major textual lacunae and unresolved historiographical questions.
Building
on newly edited texts and on analyses of key concepts and doctrinal
debates across the diverse disciplines of medieval mathematical thought,
the contributions gathered in this volume offer a series of case-driven
studies that collectively shed light on the rich, yet comparatively
understudied, field of Mediaeval Latin Mathematics, its conceptual
vitality, disciplinary plurality, and cultural embeddedness between the
thirteenth and fifteenth centuries.
This
issue is intended, in particular, to honour the legacy of Jean
Celeyrette, whose major contributions to medieval mathematical
scholarship have, over the years, fostered renewed attention to a field
whose historical significance matches its conceptual depth. The
hoped-for result is a collective homage that provides a clearer and more
nuanced picture of the roles mathematics played in the formation,
transformation, and circulation of scientific ideas throughout the Latin
Middle Ages.

When I started working on my second book,
Fear of the False: Forensic Science and the Law of Crime in Colonial South Asia, I created a course to help my research. Specifically, I designed an
undergraduate Legal Studies/History course called “History of Forensic Science”
(HFS). I’d like to use this 3rd guest post for August to reflect on
how and why this was such a valuable experience.
More after the jump.
I don’t have a lot of flexibility
in my Law School teaching, as I must always teach a section of Contracts I for our
incoming 1L class at the University of Wisconsin Law School. However, there is
a lot more space to move with my undergraduate Legal Studies/History teaching
at UW–Madison. I first taught HFS in spring 2014, and have taught it most years
since (e-mail me if you’d like the syllabus: mitra.sharafi@wisc.edu). It has almost
always been capped at 25 students. And for some reason (love of the True Crime
genre?), almost all of my students in this one course have been women. I
usually get 2-3 male students out of 25, and try to spread them out in small-group
discussion exercises (as much they want to cluster together). Our Legal Studies
program consists of majority female students, but my other Legal
Studies/History course (Legal Pluralism) is not as heavily skewed as this one
is.
Teaching this course has
given me a good grip on the larger scholarship on forensic science around the
world, especially in the English-speaking world from the nineteenth century
to the present. When it came time to write, this allowed me to make
comparative comments about patterns in colonial India that also existed elsewhere—or
didn’t. For instance, our class sessions on death investigation and the coroner’s
system in the Anglosphere gave me a good sense of how this medieval English
institution has migrated across the world and continues to wreak havoc on many places. In rural counties of my own state of Wisconsin, for instance,
the coroner decides whether a body should be sent to a forensic pathologist for
a post mortem exam, and they also interpret the pathologist’s report when
entering cause of death on the death certificate. The coroner is elected and needs
to have a high school diploma, but no scientific or medical training of any
kind. They are also not paid much. There were coroners in colonial India, too.
They make an occasional appearance in my book, and I’m planning a future spin-off
article on coroners in Bombay, using the larger literature I read for HFS.
Most productive of all were
our guest speakers. A series of forensic experts have come to my class over the
years, including forensic pathologists, explosive detection dogs
and their handlers, forensic botanists, and Crime Scene Investigation teams. It
took me a while to understand how much these experts *like* doing class visits.
During my early days of teaching, I invited colleagues from across my
university to do the occasional guest class. It quickly became clear that these
sessions were burdensome for my guests, so I stopped inviting them. By contrast,
many forensic experts have an outreach component to their job, so a class visit
allows them to meet this requirement. Many are also committed to raising public
awareness and to encouraging young people to go into forensic professions, some
of which (like forensic pathology) have national shortages. These experts were
very generous with their speaking and travel time, and my students loved
meeting them. Initially, I asked these speakers to give a presentation followed
by Q&A. But as our students have become more and more silent since the
pandemic, I eventually asked the speakers to prepare nothing at all. Now, they
sit on a chair at the front of the class and we do 75 minutes of pure Q&A.
I warn my students that there is nothing else on the menu, so they must come
up with questions. And usually they rise to the occasion. It’s also less work for my guests.
I learned many things from
these experts that enriched my book. For instance, these visits got me
thinking about forms of analysis that destroy the thing being analyzed (like an
autopsy, as compared to many lab tests) and what this means for replicability
and verifiability of an expert’s assessment. A second opinion is usually not
possible in some forensic fields. Seeing what knowledge my
students brought to the discussion from popular culture made me think about how
certain forms of forensic expertise are often depicted in films, shows, and podcasts
(like Crime Scene Investigation) while others are virtually unknown to the
public (like wood forensics). And meeting explosives detection dogs revealed
the overlap between firearms and explosives detection techniques, which I had failed
to grasp before. These dogs detect smokeless powder in ballistics cases, for
instance, and probably do more homicide cases involving firearms than bomb
cases (which are more rare in the US). Although guns and bombs only appear in
my book around the edges, this was useful contextual knowledge.
The peak experience was
optional and only available to my least squeamish students: our forensic
pathologist visitors invite students to observe an autopsy later. I did this,
and so do a handful of students every year. Sometimes someone faints. But mostly,
it is a very unusual experience that people find valuable and that they will
think about for years to come. This experience helped me appreciate the
challenges of death investigation in a hot and humid environment like many
parts of colonial India, particularly before the age of refrigeration.
All in all, I recommend
designing a course to get yourself in shape for your next book project.

Here is the abstract.
The Enlightenment transformed the relationship between religion, nature and law. Nature ceased to function solely as an object of theological explanation and increasingly became a normative vocabulary through which political authority, rights and religious belief could be assessed. The appeal to nature took several distinct forms. Natural law provided a standard superior to positive command; natural rights located fundamental entitlements in the person prior to the state; natural religion sought religious truth accessible to reason independently of ecclesiastical revelation; and the scientific image of an ordered universe encouraged the idea that public reason could distinguish civil interests from theological claims. This study examines the legal significance of that transformation. It argues that the Enlightenment did not simply replace religion with secularism. Rather, it reorganised the relation among religion, nature and political authority. Locke used natural rights and limited government to restrict the magistrate's religious competence. Spinoza naturalised biblical interpretation and defended the freedom to philosophise. Voltaire connected natural reason with toleration and criticism of confessional persecution. Rousseau converted religion into a constitutional problem through the category of civil religion. Hume destabilised rational proofs of natural theology and thereby weakened claims to public coercion based upon metaphysical certainty. Kant relocated religion within the limits of reason and moral autonomy. These intellectual movements contributed to a legal transition from confessional government to constitutional freedom of conscience. The study further considers the constitutional crystallisation of this transition in the American Declaration of Independence of 1776, with its reference to the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God, and in the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789, which proclaims natural and inalienable rights while expressly protecting religious opinions. It concludes by analysing the continuing relevance of the Enlightenment synthesis for contemporary freedom of thought, conscience and religion under international and European human-rights law.

The open access publication of this book has been published
with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation.
This book reconstructs the genesis and development of daimonology in the
Platonic tradition, analyzing the δαίμων as an intermediate figure
between the human and the divine. The inquiry explores the notion of the
daimonic in Plato’s dialogues as a complex and polysemic category,
situated at the intersection of religion, metaphysics, and anthropology.
Through an analysis of the figures of the guardian daimones, the
soul-daimon of the Timaeus, the Socratic δαιμόνιον, and Eros as the “great daimon” of the Symposium,
this volume examines the internal coherence of Plato’s thought on the
daimonic, as well as its reception from the Old Academy to Middle
Platonism, where it crystallized into a systematic daimonology that
profoundly shaped later philosophy.
Questo libro ricostruisce la genesi e lo sviluppo della demonologia
platonica, analizzando il δαίμων come figura intermedia tra umano e
divino. L’indagine approfondisce la nozione di demonico nei dialoghi
platonici come categoria complessa e polisemica, al crocevia tra
religione, metafisica e antropologia. Attraverso le figure dei demoni
custodi, del demone-anima del Timeo, del δαιμόνιον socratico e di Eros come “gran demone” del Simposio,
il volume ricostruisce la coerenza interna del pensiero platonico sul
demonico e ne segue la ricezione dall'Accademia antica al
Medioplatonismo, dove si consolida in una demonologia sistematica
destinata a influenzare la filosofia tardoantica.

Description:
MICOLL aims at analyzing the development of commercial law between the 11th and 17th centuries, in the geographical area comprising Northern Italy and present-day Germany, through the tools of historical linguistics. The borrowing and transfer of legal terms will be carried out through a comprehensive and systematic survey of medieval and early modern legal sources, in particular commercial letters, contracts and statutes. The analysis of technical-legal words used in commercial transactions will allow to verify the impact of merchants’ migrations on the development of law as well as on social and economic history. The archival research will focus in the first instance on the following archives: Archivio di Stato di Venezia, Archivio di Stato di Genova, Stadtarchiv Nürnberg and Archiv der Hansestadt Lübeck. The project foresees the creation of a "Glossary of Medieval Commercial Law Terms" and of interactive digital maps of the routes that connected Venice with Northern Europe.

The idea of status has long puzzled philosophers. Some people have higher social status than others, and some have distinct legal statuses, such as being an employee, a tenant, or a refugee. But why should that be the case? Why should some enjoy more esteem than others? And why should law pick out a class of persons, give it a label, and treat it differently? Status in Law and Morality provides a philosophical account of status, arguing that it is a moral, and not just a legal or social, idea. The point of status is to protect the weaker party in social relations - the employee, or the tenant - through social recognition of their role as well as through legal regulation. Tracing the origins of the idea of status in law and in moral philosophy, this book challenges the commonly held view that status is an inherently inegalitarian idea that should have no place in modern law. It instead distinguishes between 'rank' and 'role' based statuses and argues that law ought to boost the self-esteem of those who hold vulnerable social roles. Thought-provoking and pioneering, this book aims to revive the progressive character of status to work towards regulating unequal social relations and protecting vulnerable groups.

Origen and his Hexapla
Origen of Alexandria (ca. 185–254) was a
fascinating figure from church history who left behind many works in
theology and philosophy. But he also left his mark on early Christian
philology and textual criticism in his magnum opus, which his followers
later entitled, the Hexapla or six-fold version of the Old Testament. As fascinating as Origen and his oeuvre
are to church historians and theologians, most people will not read
them. But all readers and students of the Bible will encounter his
achievement in the Hexapla when they read translations of the Bible
and commentaries on the books of the Old and New Testament. Thus, often
without knowing it, many will encounter Origen of Alexandria’s Hexapla,
and that is why the Hexapla Institute’s Edition of all known hexaplaric
fragments remains a clear desideratum for scholarly and pastoral work in the text of the Scriptures.
Significance of the Hexapla Institute
The Hexapla Institute collects and edits
textual witnesses to the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament that are quite
early and significant, and yet often unknown to nonspecialists: namely
the early Jewish Greek revisions of the Septuagint by Theodotion,
Aquila, and Symmachus (i.e., “the Three”). Although much about the
history of these texts remains uncertain, we can probably date
Theodotion to the turn of the era (50 BC–50 AD), Aquila to circa 120 and
Symmachus to circa 180. Since these revisions attempted to bring the
text of the Septuagint (the traditional Greek translations of Jews and
early Christians) into closer alignment with the current Hebrew text of
their day, they are important and valuable witnesses to the earliest
stages of the Hebrew text. But their significant witness has been
overshadowed by relatively recent discovery of other texts like the Dead
Sea Scrolls. Since these Greek revisions are quite literal translations
of the Hebrew text, scholars can reconstruct their Hebrew parent text
in a straightforward and clear manner, and thus their witness to the
Hebrew text becomes invaluable.
In 2025, we recognized the one-hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Frederick Field’s Origenis hexaplorum
“The Hexapla of Origen,” published by Oxford in 1875. Currently,
scholars in the fields of biblical studies and patristics cite Field’s
edition for hexaplaric readings. As elegant and magisterial as this
edition is, it has become outdated as more manuscripts containing
hexaplaric readings have been discovered (Meade 2022; Salvesen 2017;
Romeny and Gentry 2001; Barthélemy 2012: 580). A new edition based on
newer manuscript collations is necessary to ensure a more accurate text
of the Three and also a more expansive collection of them than what
Field was able to deliver in 1875.
The Hexapla Institute’s new critical
edition would not only increase our knowledge of these valuable Jewish
Greek texts and their reception within Judaism and Christianity, but
also a new edition would contribute to scholarship of the Hebrew Bible /
Old Testament, the Septuagint, the New Testament, early Christianity,
and rabbinic exegesis. Hebrew Bible scholars have long recognized the
value of the Three as witnesses to the history of the transmission of
the Hebrew text. Likewise, Septuagint scholars analyze the readings of
the Three to determine how they have may have corrupted the transmission
of the original Septuagint translation and they remove those later
intrusions to reconstruct the original Septuagint translation. For New
Testament research, a complete lexicon of the hexaplaric materials will
aid in the task of New Testament lexicography, for many words in the NT
do not occur in the Septuagint, and rare words in the NT may be found or
be best represented in the hexaplaric fragments.
Furthermore, the new critical edition will
illuminate the history of these versions of scripture used by Syriac
and Armenian Christians. The value of the so-called Syro-Hexapla has
been known for some time and will continue to be incorporated into this
new Edition. An area that has received little attention to date is how
the readings of the Hexapla reached Armenia and its manuscript
traditions. This new edition is committed to incorporating all relevant
evidence of the Hexapla.
Lastly, the Hexapla Institute plans both a
print and digital edition. The former will be published with Peeters
(Leuven), and the digital edition will be the result of the Institute’s
online and innovative database project.
The Method used for our Edition
For a more detailed survey of the history of editions of the Hexapla with images, see here. The Hexapla Institute employs the principles of textual criticism used by the Göttingen Septuaginta series articulated by Paul Maas (Textkritik
1927), starting with a base text (typically the majority text reading)
and emending it as necessary according to sound textual critical method.
The aim of the Hexapla Institute’s project is not to produce a critical
edition of the Hexapla in its original columnar format. As romantic as
this aim is, such an edition is not practical, since we do not know how
the whole Hexapla, word by word, was arranged. Certainty of the exact
arrangement for each biblical book eludes us at this time, but even if
one possessed this information, one would still not know the exact
arrangement of each word in each line of the Hexapla as originally
constructed. Therefore, the goal of this project is more attainable: to
create a critical edition of the remains of the Hexapla according to its
original wording or text.
The edition will unfold like Federick
Field’s edition: (1) the relevant Hebrew text will be supplied from the
Masoretic Text (usually St. Petersburg [Leningrad], National Library of
Russia, Firkovitch I, B 19a), (2) the relevant Septuagint text will be
supplied from the Göttingen Septuaginta (where available), and
(3) the original texts of Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion will be
reconstructed according to sound textual critical principles with all
variants placed into a series of apparatuses. Thus, the new edition will
be based on more recent discoveries and better texts than Field’s. This
project will be able to use and incorporate the following:
the Göttingen Septuaginta’s new collation of manuscripts;
Göttingen Septuaginta of the Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen’s digitally achived manuscripts;
the new critical editions of patristic works like Corpus Christianorum: Series Graeca, Corpus Christianorum: Series Latina, Sources Chretienne, Biblia Patristica, volumes 1–7 and Supplement, along with better editions of catena materials.
The Hexapla Institute is governed by the
principles presented by the Modern Language Association Committee on
Scholarly Editions including: the editors will establish the reliability
of the edition by accurate representation of the texts through adequate
and appropriate documentation of its editorial principles and
practicing consistent and explicit methods. Thus, the new edition will
consist of:
an introduction stating the editorial principles, describing the
textual witnesses, and narrating the textual history of the work;
an eclectically reconstructed text of the remains of the Hexapla
with a series of apparatuses documenting textual variants and non-Greek
languages;
commentary in the form of notes on the texts discussing editorial
justifications for decisions and prior scholarship on the text.
As mentioned above, the primary goal is to
reconstruct the original readings of the Hexapla, not the original
columnar form. The new edition will make a clear advance on previous
editions because those editions of hexaplaric remains were more akin to
collections of hexaplaric readings—not edited texts of the Hexapla. Although the Göttingen Septuaginta
freshly collated the materials and collected the hexaplaric readings in
its second apparatus, this is only a wonderful, primary step.
Göttingen’s goal is not to create a new edition of the hexaplaric
remains. The Hexapla Institute’s goal is precisely to reconstruct the
original wording of the Hexapla and place those readings into a context
like Origen’s original synopsis; that is, we will place the readings of
the Three next to the readings of the Hebrew and the Septuagint. In
previous centuries, the method of simple collection was probably
suitable for the state of the evidence at that time. But with newer
manuscript discoveries in Greek, Syriac, Latin, and Armenian, the time
for a new edition has never been more ostensive.
The Hexapla Institute’s new edition has a
clear goal for an eclectic, edited text with apparatuses recording all
variant readings. Most fields of research produce and require eclectic
editions. That is, an editor reconstructs and publishes a text not
necessarily found in any one manuscript but only after examining the
readings of all the manuscripts the editor reconstructs the oldest
retrievable form of the text. By contrast, a diplomatic edition, such as
that found in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS), aims to
reproduce the text of one manuscript and record variants to that text in
the apparatus. The Hexapla Institute’s edition will not be a mere
collection of readings or a simple diplomatic text; rather, it will be a
responsibly assembled and reconstructed eclectic text. The editors will
record the variants and provide textual commentary showing the
justification for decisions between conflicting readings.
Another problem with Field’s edition is
that it is often poorly sourced so that scholars do not always know
whence a hexaplaric reading comes. This situation leaves scholars with
uncertainty at best and at worst outright skepticism about Field’s work
for the twenty-first century. The new edition clearly shows whence the
readings came. Not only does it accurately show from which manuscripts a
reading comes but it also shows which patristic authors cited a
reading. At every turn, the editor shows the provenance of the readings
of these Jewish Greek revisers within the textual history. In this same
spirit, the new Edition also provides the non-Greek texts in Syriac,
Latin, and Armenian. Thus, the user of the new Edition can see the
Editor’s presentation of the original Greek reading and the non-Greek
evidence for that reading simultaneously.
A further advance the new edition avails
itself is scholarship’s progress in analyzing and understanding the
translation approaches taken by Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion.
Previous work on the hexaplaric remains did not always approach the
Three as Greek translators of a Hebrew source, and therefore, did not
analyze the Three’s tendencies when rendering specific Hebrew words and
syntactical constructions. But the twentieth century has highlighted the
Septuagint texts as translations and therefore analyzed the respective
“translation techniques” or approaches to the Hebrew source text (e.g.,
literal or functional approaches). This same type of analysis has been
applied to Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion. In several places, a
translator’s tendencies aid an editor in evaluating which text to choose
and which to designate as the variant. Paying close attention to
translation technique adds another layer of control to the new edition
which was not always appreciated in previous ones.
The last time an edition of the hexaplaric
remains was done (1875), Field wrote the Prolegomena and explanatory
notes in Latin, making his edition and scholarship less accessible
today. Furthermore, some of his work is outdated particularly its
explanations of key topics like Origen’s method of correction, the
Tetrapla, the placement of the “Origenian” signs, etc. All of Field’s
Latin annotations remain untranslated. The Hexapla Institute’s edition
will base both its introductions and explanatory notes on the best and
most up to date evidence of the remains of the Hexapla. For each book of
the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament, the editor will provide an up-to-date
Introduction that situates the texts contained in the edition, showing
how they relate to the Hexapla and its textual transmission.
Furthermore, given the nature of this project, the editor will explain
the different kinds of manuscripts and editions that went into the
creation of the new text and apparatus. Since there is about one hundred
and fifty years between the Hexapla Institute’s edition and Field, the
Edition’s Introduction and Notes will inevitably contribute to our
knowledge of the Hexapla, its reception history, and subsequent
scholarship on it.

The setting for a murder that took place in the early days of the New South Wales penal colony in Australia was the regional town of Agnes Banks. Beginning with an outline of the transported convicts William Williams from England in 1798 and Julia Leahy from Ireland, the paper follows the life of their daughter, Mary Ann, who married the unrelated Robert Williams in 1840, who had the distinction of having all four grandparents as convicts. Some forty years later, in 1881, the now mentally challenged Robert was charged with murdering a neighbour, William Freeman, and was committed to an insane asylum where he remained for the rest of his life. The research reflected in this paper shows that there were numerous flaws in the prosecution's case, which was treated as open and shut. Robert had pleaded not guilty, and there was every chance he was correct. This paper examines the lead-up to the trial and the questions that should have been asked to avoid a possible miscarriage of justice.

Miller, Loyola University School of Law, has published Coda: The Framers, the British East India Company, and Guaranteeing a Republican Form of Government. Here is the abstract.
The article takes as its starting point the debate between Justices Scalia and Stevens in their respective Citizens United opinions. The subject of that debate was colonial and post-revolutionary society, and thereby the Framers’, opinion about corporations. Scalia wrote his concurrence in response to the portion of Justice Stevens’ dissent that argued the Framer’s did not trust corporations. A problem, for a historian, of Scalia’s and Stevens’ opinions is that they did not cite any statement by the Framers of the Constitution. All instead relying on the opinions of historians. Neither Justices provided any document actually written by the Framers in support of their position. Were this testimony in a trial, such would amount to hearsay. Such hearsay would be necessary if such statements were lost to antiquity.
But those statements DO exist. The National Archives has collected a vast repository of the writings of many of the Founders, including those at the Constitutional Convention. And since 2009, those writings have been entered into a vast database: Founders Online. So I decided to research those writings for mentions of the British East India Company and then report what was said in a tidy little article.
The hypothesis guiding my research is that leading figures of the convention 1) knew about corporations; 2) considered corporations a threat to republican government and its underlying philosophy of popular sovereignty; and therefore 3) wrote the guarantee clause in broad language so the federal government might address any threat to a republican form of government, including corporations.
Based on the above, I argue that the Guarantee Clause grants Congress and, indirectly, state legislatures independent authority to regulate corporations’ participation in elections through political donations. This does not mean that campaign finance regulation should be shielded from by the political question doctrine central to Guarantee Clause jurisprudence: courts should continue to reach the merits of any First Amendment issues. But in deciding those issues, courts should take into account the Framers’ concerns and purposes for the Guarantee Clause in reaching and justifying a decision.

(DRE/DPE Collection)
Williams v. Florida centered on a historical premise: Although the common law jury unquestionably consisted of twelve members, the historical record was too “scanty” to say that the Framers intended that the Constitution preserve the twelve-juror requirement. 399 U.S. at 92–93. The Court could not find “a single instance where concern was expressed for preservation of the traditional number 12.” Colgrove v. Battin, 413 U.S. 149, 156 n.10 (1973). It presumed that the dearth of historical evidence could be attributed to the Founders’ indifference toward the number of jurors seated for trial. In the Court’s words, “the most likely conclusion to be drawn is simply that little thought was actually given to the specific question we face today.” Williams, 399 U.S. at 98–99.
That historical premise hasn’t survived scrutiny. Part of the problem was an incomplete record: historical materials unknown or unavailable to the Court now supply the evidence that Williams thought was missing. Those materials—ranging from Founding-era practices and legal authorities to early American state-court decisions—undermine what Williams inferred from silence. Furthermore, evidence that the Court considered in Williams and subsequently in Colgrove was misunderstood: The supposed Pennsylvania counterexample of smaller juries concerned a pre-Penn regime that vanished more than a century before the Sixth Amendment’s ratification. Dictionaries and treatises that supposedly didn’t show twelve was necessary in fact said just that. Justice James Wilson’s supposed indifference to the twelve-juror requirement was actually commentary on the distinction between grand and petit juries. And a postbellum South Carolina court decision invoked as supposed support for eight-juror panels rested on an extraordinary provision in the State’s 1865 constitution, adopted as part of a racially discriminatory and anti-Reconstruction regime.
With a more complete record and proper understanding of it, the answer to the juror-number question becomes plain. When the Framers guaranteed criminal defendants trial by an impartial jury, they used a settled legal term that meant twelve.

The institution of the gymnasium was an integral part of the Greek
poleis and the buildings of this facility shaped the image of ancient
cities from the Late Classical period until the Roman imperial period.
In the Ionian polis of Priene, several gymnasium buildings have been
preserved, including two palestras, a stadium and a Roman bath. Together
with the inscriptions, it is possible to trace the development of the
institution and its structural facilities over almost half a millennium.
Both the excavations of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and an
archaeological field research project that took place between 2009 and
2012 contribute to this. In the course of the research, it emerged that
the findings in Priene are particularly suitable for gaining a better
understanding of the development of the gymnasium in Asia Minor: Thus,
the earliest known Late Classical palestra in Asia Minor could be
recognized in the structural remains of the Upper Gymnasion, while
significant remains of a Hellenistic palestra have been preserved in the
Lower Gymnasion because it was not built over by a bath like many other
examples in Roman Asia Minor. In this way, general lines of development
towards the Greek gymnasium become visible in a concrete example, such
as the construction of a relatively small palestra and separated running
tracks in the Late Classical period, the construction of a Hellenistic
complex in which palestra and stadium form a structural unit, and the
significant changes of the imperial period, when Roman bathing habits
moved into the gymnasiums of Asia Minor and thus brought about
far-reaching structural changes. This book will also present the most
recent excavations and construction documentation in the two gymnasia of
Priene together with partial reconstructions of their architecture.

It is compiled in advance of my presentation at the ASOR Annual Meeting 2019: Best Practices for Digital Scholarship: “Sharing Your Work: Library Ethics, Privacy, and Commercial Repositories”. Journals included here cover a wide range of disciplines within the study of antiquity. It is not yet comprehensive. If you wish to add a title simply let me know (comments - below).
The journal is the first open-access and forum-peer-reviewed
journal that covers the entire field of biblical studies and cognate
fields in its diversity, and it is committed to the principles of the
EABS in terms of equal opportunity, non-discrimination, and academic
rigor. This journal innovates the way humanities scholarship is
published, by utilizing an open peer-review system known as "forum
review." In this system all reviewers' comments are visible to all other
reviewers. This system enables AABNER to maintain rigor while
encouraging innovative approaches and keeping review time to a minimum.

Dans sa genèse et dans sa double
structure conceptuelle et historique, toute philosophie est, avant tout,
une mise en scène épistémique aux influences multiples et variées. Elle
est un foyer pluriel de rencontres, un carrefour où des personnages
conceptuels viennent encoder et décoder leurs discours. Pour le penser,
la revue Agathos est un creuset d’incubation et de maturation de soi, un point de ralliement des savoirs passés, présents et à venir.
Founded in 2025, AI & Antiquity: Journal of Teaching and Technology in Ancient Studies
(ISSN 3081-4553) was established on the conviction that Ancient
Studies—encompassing history, archaeology, philology, and art
history—urgently require a dedicated forum for critical reflection on
pedagogy, teaching practices, and the transformative role of digital
technologies in education. In a scholarly environment where research
often takes precedence, this journal places teaching at the centre of attention: as a fundamental, creative, and intellectual dimension of professional practice in the study of the ancient world.
Akkadica was first published in 1977 as the
bimonthly journal of the Fondation Assyriologique / Assyriologische
Stichting Georges Dossin, named in honour of the eminent Assyriologist
Georges Dossin (1896-1983), widely regarded as the founding figure of
Belgian Assyriology. The foundation—later renamed the Assyriological
Centre Georges Dossin—was established in his honour by his students:
Jean-Robert Kupper (1920-2009) of the University of Liège, André Finet
(1921-2007) of the Free University of Brussels, Léon De Meyer
(1928-2006) of Ghent University, and Denyse Homès-Fredericq (1934- ) of
the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels.
Aldus 2.0 is an international journal
that promotes a debate on digital textuality in the philological,
literary and linguistic fields.
Aims and scope
The aim of Aldus 2.0 is to encourage
and promote a debate around the main themes of Digital Humanities both
in the philological-literary field and in the linguistic one. The spread
of new technologies and their application in the different areas of
Italian studies offered new perspectives of study, analysis and research
and opened technical and theoretical-methodological issues that
represent a great challenge for philologists, linguists, publishers and
more. Ideally recalling Aldo Manuzio’s revolution and the importance of
his cultural project, Aldus 2.0 looks critically and attentively at
progress in the Humanities with an eye constantly to the past, an essential element for a proper vision of the future.
The journal is not only addressed to
linguists and philologists, but it also pursues to be an open space for
discussions with other disciplines, such as the many areas of
communication sciences, and to their contribution: the interdisciplinary
approach enhances methods and perspectives that shed light on aspects
that would risk being ignored or little discussed by adopting a
mono-disciplinary approach. In this sense too Aldus 2.0 tries to propose
itself as something new and innovative compared to other editorial
realities that discuss themes connected to the web and its texts.

of Archaeological Textiles (ARTEX), first issued in 2003. Its main goal
is to raise awareness on the existence of fragments of archaeological
textiles in Greece and to serve as an instrument for the dissemination
of the archaeological textile research in Greece and abroad. It was
initially thought as the media for the publication of the studies of
extant textiles by ARTEX, but it quickly welcomed diverse publications
on ancient textiles (from the Bronze Age until the Roman era, studies on
iconography, written texts, textile tools etc.). Arachne also hosts
papers of students working on various facets of textile production and
technology in Greece.

The study of the human past has conventionally been divided between two
distinct academic disciplines depending upon the kind of evidence under
investigation: “history”, with its focus on written records, and
“archaeology”, which analyzes the remains of material culture.
Archaeology and Text: A Journal for the Integration of Material Culture
with Written Documents in the Ancient Mediterranean and Near East aims
to bridge this disciplinary divide by providing an international forum
for scholarly discussions which integrate the studies of material
culture with written documents. Interdisciplinary by nature, the journal
offers a platform for professional historians and archaeologists alike
to critically investigate points of confluence and divergence between
the textual and the artifactual. We seek contributions from scholars
working in the ancient Mediterranean and Near East. Contributions with a
theoretical or methodological focus on the interface between
archaeology and text are especially encouraged. By publishing all of its
articles online, the Archaeology and Text seeks to disseminate its
published papers immediately after the peer-review and editorial
processes have been completed, providing timely publication and
convenient access.

“Classica Cracoviensia”, the annual devoted to the studies of Greek and
Roman antiquity, was established in 1995 as the initiative of the
Director of the Institute of Classical Philology of the Jagiellonian
University, Professor Stanisław Stabryła. Since 1996, the function of
the scientific editor has been held by Professor Jerzy Styka. From the
very beginning “Classica Cracoviensia” has been planned as a forum for
scientific cooperation between the Institute of Classical Philology of
the Jagiellonian University and European university centres of studies
on the classical Greek and Roman culture in its various forms –
literature as well as politics, philosophy, religion, law, art and
reception studies. Periodically organised conferences, research
projects, guest lectures, together with new publishing series are a few
examples of this cooperation. It has made a significant contribution to
the development of the Greek and Roman antiquity studies; at the same
time, it brings academics working in this area of study together.
Through the presentation of research on various forms of the Greek and
Roman culture, we are trying to reveal the processes which have shaped
this culture and the complexity of cultural transformation which had
been taking place within it, as well as accentuate its universal
character and the inspirational role in the creation of modern Europe.
The very broad formula of this periodical supports intercultural and
interdisciplinary research, which allows for a multifaceted and in-depth
presentation of cultural phenomena and teaches the respect for
otherness. The versatility of research methods serves as an argument for
defending the heritage of antiquity in the modern world.

Classics@ (ISSN: 2327-2996)
is designed to bring contemporary classical scholarship to a wide
audience online. Each issue will be dedicated to its own topic, often
with guest editors, for an in-depth exploration of important current
problems in the field of Classics. We hope that Classics@ will
appeal not only to professional classicists, but also to the
intellectually curious who are willing to enter the conversation in our
discipline. We hope that they find that classical scholarship engages
issues of great significance to a wide range of cultural and scholarly
concerns and does so in a rigorous and challenging way
Named after the youngest of the Parcae, Clotho got its name
after the deity responsible for spinning the thread of life; thus the
journal seeks to create a new space of creativity, exploration, and
learning in the field of classical studies. Wilamowitz famously defined
classical scholarship “by its subject-matter – Graeco-Roman civilization
in its essence and in every facet of its existence.” Following in those
footsteps, Clotho welcomes exploring Greek and Latin language –
lexicography, grammar, and the broader issues of linguistics. It seeks
to investigate the traditional fields of classical studies, literature,
textual criticism, rhetoric, philosophy, and history; as well as
archaeology, numismatics, epigraphy, papyrology, and paleography. Above
all, the journal is committed to the idea of interdisciplinarity. As
such, it accepts antiquity-related contributions from the spheres of
art, music, science, religion, and law; as well as the classical
tradition and classical reception, history of classical scholarship, and
last but foremost, translation.

CDLI
is pleased to present here the results of research in progress
submitted, for inclusion in a preprint series hosted by the project, by
experts in fields associated with Assyriology and Ancient Near Eastern
Archaeology. We anticipate that these papers in their final form will
eventually be available in journals (in some cases our own) or in edited
volumes; or will, by authors' preference, remain unpublished in the
formal sense, so that this may be a final venue for work that might
otherwise remain unnoticed in the field. Authors who are interested in
submitting contributions to the CDLP should be generally aware of the editorial policies of the journals CDLJ & CDLB; while submissions in English are preferred, CDLP does, however, accept preprints in the other major languages of academic communication.Significant
and nearly complete, or dormant research papers are particularly
welcome, regardless of their length and scope. Authors should make their
submissions in both originating text-processor/layout file, and in the
PDF format in which it will be made available here. International A4 or
US letter format are both allowed, portrait or landscape. In most cases,
if the submission is acceptable for distribution, we will merely add a
lead page of the form visible in the files listed below. We invite
interested authors to make use of this series to communicate their
research to a broader community in advance or in stead of undertaking
the rigors of a peer-reviewed standard publication, and we hope the
feedback that results from a paper’s dissemination through CDLP contributes to its ultimate impact.

The idea to have an online journal related to Classical Greece and
Roman studies in East Asia was first discussed at one of the board
meetings of the Taiwan Association of Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance Studies
(TACMRS) in early 2021. Nicholas Koss was then asked to investigate
the possibility of having such a journal. He contacted Classical
scholars in China, Japan and Korea and found in each country much
interest for this kind of journal. Subsequently, the TACMRS board
decided to start TheEast Asian Journal of Classical Studies (TEAJCS)
and asked Nicholas Koss to be the editor-in-chief. The first task was
to find articles to be included. Then, books published in East Asia
related to Classical Studies, both studies and translations, were
selected to be reviewed. At the same time, bibliographies were compiled
on studies and translations done in East Asia in the 2018 and
2019. Finally, in the fall of 2022, the first issue of TEAJCS appeared
online.

La revue Études celtiques a été
fondée en 1936 par Joseph Vendryes, doyen de la faculté des lettres de
la Sorbonne et grand spécialiste des langues celtiques. Il s’agissait de
remplacer la Revue celtique (1970-1934), dont l’éditeur ne voulait plus assumer la charge. Études celtiques est
d’abord éditée par la Librairie Droz. La revue était destinée à traiter
des mêmes sujets que la précédente, c’est-à-dire : inscriptions,
monnaies des Celtes de l’Antiquité, toponymes et anthroponymes d’origine
celtique, et la linguistique des langues celtiques sous toutes ses
formes (phonétique, dialectologie, grammaire comparée et reconstruction,
etc.) ; textes mythologiques ou littéraires provenant des cultures
celtiques médiévales, textes appartenant à la « Matière de Bretagne »,
ainsi que la documentation archéologique susceptible d’éclairer nos
connaissances sur les sociétés celtiques antiques.
Le recours aux concepts de sexe et de genre développés dans les
Gender Studies a considérablement transformé les recherches dans le
domaine de l’Antiquité en ouvrant un nouveau champ extrêmement fructueux
sur le plan culturel et social. Dans la mesure où elle est à l’origine
de conceptions et valeurs auxquelles se réfèrent les constructions
d’identités dans les cultures occidentales, l’Antiquité est un lieu
d’application de ces théories tout à fait particulier. Les travaux menés
sur les relations entre hommes, entre hommes et femmes, entre femmes,
et sur les façons de construire le féminin et le masculin, ont jeté sur
le fonctionnement des sociétés et cultures antiques, un éclairage
nouveau, qui est aussi d’un intérêt capital pour l’étude de la réception
de l’Antiquité dans les cultures occidentales.

therefore the cut-off used as a frame of reference for content proposed
by Figura is conceptual rather than temporal, which calls for a
distinction in this respect.

The editorial board is pleased to announce the establishment of Fragments,
a new, open-access and peer-reviewed journal, which will be published
by MPublishing, a division of the University of Michigan Library. The
journal's first articles were published in July 2011. Fragments
will provide a forum for dialogue and exchange between scholars in all
fields of the humanities and social sciences who study the premodern
world. The journal encourages scholars to pursue subjects of broad
interest to colleagues working in other places and times, and to pursue
comparative and connective approaches in investigating the past. The
editors also invite scholars to explore interdisciplinary approaches,
such as those that synthesize the insights of textual scholarship and
archaeology, or history and sociology. We also welcome articles that
introduce methodologically innovative approaches to the shared
challenges of interpreting and understanding bodies of premodern
evidence that are distinct in kind and quantity from the evidence of
the more recent past. The broadest aim of Fragments is to
transcend fragmentation: to foster research that overflows the
boundaries of various well-established and vital traditions in order to
generate new, integrated ways of thinking about the premodern past.

Hieroglyphs is
an internationally peer-reviewed open access e-journal aiming to
promote the academic study of hieroglyphs in all their dimensions in

HiMA: revue internationale d’Histoire Militaire Ancienne was founded in 2015, under the impetus of Giusto Traina, taking over from RÉMA: Revue des Études Militaires Anciennes. HiMA
is published in print and digital format. The journal covers military
history, warfare and societies in the ancient worlds (Near East, Egypt,
Greece, Rome, Late Antiquity). Military history has many facets: not
only the more strictly technical issues such as strategy and tactics, or
logistics and armaments, but also economics and law, and social and
institutional history. Event history, based on military and diplomatic
activities, which continues to be disparaged as ‘battle history’, makes
it possible to contextualise the multiple relationships between the
various ancient human societies and war. For war is not just a history
of battles: it is deeply rooted in the structures of each society, where
it represents the rule rather than the exception; the Ancients were
well aware of this.
The journal covers a
geographical area corresponding to the ancient Mediterranean world in
its broadest sense (Near East, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Late Antiquity).
Open to other civilisations (China, Central Asia), particularly from a
comparative perspective, the journal also aims to examine the posthumous
influence of ancient military thought on Byzantium and the
modern world.

archaeology of Mesopotamia and for Assyriology.The British Institute for
the Study of Iraq has wider interests than its predecessor, the British
School of Archaeology in Iraq. Consequently the editorial board is keen
to solicit articles from a greater range of academic fields. We welcome
contributions on, for example, aspects of early Islamic, medieval and
early Ottoman Iraq.
We are delighted to announce that all articles accepted for publication in Iraqfrom 13 December 2024 will be ‘open access’; published with a Creative Commons licence and freely available to read online (see the journal’s Open Access Options page for available licence options). We have an OA option for every author: the costs of open access publication will be covered through agreements between the publisher and the author’s institution, payment of APCs from grant or other funds, or else waived entirely, ensuring every author can publish and enjoy the benefits of OA.

JJAR is a peer-reviewed online journal dealing with studies related to
the archaeology of the Levant and adjacent relevant regions, from the
Protohistoric era to the end of the Hellenistic period (6th - 1st millennium BCE). It is distributed free of charge via the Internet.
Chronologically, JJAR covers the periods which were often associated
with ‘biblical archaeology’. While the journal covers all aspects and
themes related to this long era, we particularly welcome the following
themes:
The Journal of Ancient Egyptian Architecture is a scientific, open
access and annual periodical. Its purpose is to promote the publication
of research devoted to Ancient Egyptian architecture (domestic, civil,
military, ritual/religious and funerary), from the Predynastic Period to
the Roman imperial era, whatever the modern geographical context
(Egypt, Sudan, Near East, etc). The subject scope includes everything
relating to construction, regardless of its original importance or
purpose.
The Journal of Ancient History and Archaeology is seeking to publish
profound, rigorous, well-written, high-quality, high-impact papers to
generate discussion, debate, fresh perspective. The research area
is the European continent and the Near East in the Greek-Roman times.
The topics are: ancient history, ancient philology, epigraphy,
papyrology, numismatics, archaeological material, archaeological
reports, digital archaeology, archaeometry, reviews.
The Journal of Archaeology and Ancient history was founded in 2011 and
has been published online and with open access from the start. We have
now moved to this new platform and will publish all issues starting with
number 31 on this page.
The Journal of Hebrew Scriptures (JHS) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access, journal established in 1996 to foster
scholarly research on the Hebrew Bible, Ancient Israel’s History and cognate fields of studies.
Journal of Late Antiquity (JLA) is the award-winning first international English-language journal dedicated to the study of Late Antiquity writ large. The Journal
provides a venue for multi-disciplinary coverage of all the
methodological, geographical, and chronological facets of Late
Antiquity. All of Late Antiquity will be represented -- from the late
and post-classical world up to the Carolingian period, and including the
late Roman, western European, Byzantine, Sassanid, and Islamic worlds,
ca. 250-800 CE. JLA is essential, not only as a space for
scholarship dealing with practical and theoretical issues, but, in
particular, to bridge the gap between literary and material culture
scholarship. One of the primary goals of the journal is to highlight the
status of Late Antiquity as a discrete historical period in its own
right. JLA honors include the Association of American Publishers PROSE
Award for Professional and Scholarly Excellence as Best New Journal in
the Social Sciences & Humanities for 2010, and Honorable
Mention/Runner-Up for Best New Journal in 2009 by the Council of Editors
of Learned Journals. JLA also is a two-time winner (2013 and
2019) of the Codex Award, given once per year by the Council of Editors
of Learned Journals in recognition of the best journal on any subject
before 1500.
There are challenges in the translation and interpretation of the
biblical texts from the Source Languages (SL) to Receptor Languages
(RL). These stem from the fact that no two languages are the same.
Mother-Tongue Biblical Hermeneutics studies the translation and
interpretation similarities and differences that come out of various
translations of the Bible into the indigenous languages of people. The
value of the similarities and differences in the translation of biblical
texts is that it gives theological insights to existing interpretations
of the texts. These insights create avenues for the scholarly study of
mother-tongue biblical texts in addition to the Hebrew Bible, Septuagint
and Greek New Testament. Language is a communication tool.
The JMR
(Journal of Mosaic Research) is an international journal on mosaics,
annually published by the Uludag University Mosaic Research Centre. The
aim of this journal is to serve as a forum for scientific studies with
critical analysis, interpretation, and synthesis of mosaics and related
subjects. The main matter of the journal covers mosaics of Turkey and
other mosaics related to Turkey mosaics. Besides, the journal also
accommodates creative and original mosaic researches in general.
Furthermore, together with articles about mosaics, the journal also
includes book presentations and news about mosaics.
The Canadian Society for Syriac Studies is a
Toronto-based organization whose mission consists of promoting the study
of the Syriac culture, a crossroad between the Sumerian, Babylonian,
Assyrian, and Aramean civilizations and Eastern Christendom, and a link
between the Semitic and Greek and Roman worlds.
Journal of the Jesus Movement in its Jewish Setting: From the First to the Seventh Century (JJMJS) is
a peer-reviewed academic open access journal, published electronically
in co-operation with Hebrew University (Jerusalem), University of Oslo
(Oslo), and DePaul University (Chicago).
JJMJS is
an independent and scholarly journal registered as a non-profit
organization in Norway (Org. no. 918437312) and does not represent any
particular theological school or religious organization. The purpose of JJMJS is to
advance scholarship on a crucial period in the early history of the
Jewish and Christian traditions, from the first to the seventh century,
when they developed into what is today known as two world religions,
mutually shaping one another as they did so. JJMJS publishes
high-quality research on any topic that directly addresses or has
implications for the understanding of the inter-relationship and
interaction between the Jesus movement and other forms of Judaism, as
well as for the processes that led to the formation of Judaism and
Christianity as two related but independent religions.
The
primary fields of study included in the journal's purview are:
Christian Origins, New Testament Studies, Early Jewish Studies
(including Philo and Josephus), the Dead Sea Scrolls, Apocrypha and
Pseudepigrapha, Rabbinic Studies, Patristics, History of Ancient
Christianity, Reception History, and Archaeology. Methodological
diversity and innovation is encouraged.
JJMJS is
governed by the editorial committee in accordance with an agreement
between its three academic partner institutions. The Editor-in-Chief and
the Co-editors are responsible for the academic standard and general direction of the journal.
The Journal of World Prehistory

articles that synthesize the prehistory of an area or of a time-horizon
within a larger region, or describe technical advances of wide and
general application. These overview papers provide in-depth, thoughtful
development of data and concepts in a fashion accessible to all
archaeologists.

مجله
مطالعات باستان شناسی دانشکدة ادبیّات و علوم انسانی دانشگاه تهران،
نشریهای علمی است که در سال در دو شماره منتشر میشود. این مجله درصد است
تا مقالاتی را با ایده های بکر و جدید و با محتوی علمی به چاپ برساند. باستان
شناسى، دانش بررسى فرهنگ هاى انسانى از راه بازیابى، مستندسازى، و تحلیل
بازمانده هاى مادى بشر، همچون معمارى، دست ساخته ها، بازمانده هاى انسانى و
یا پهنه زمین است. هدف نهایى باستان شناسى، روشنگرى درباره تاریخ بشر و
فراز و فرود شکل گیرى تمدن است. از این رو بسیارى از رشته هاى دیگر علوم
انسانى نظیر تاریخ، گیتا شناسى، زمین شناسى و مردم شناسى در پیوند با این
دانش بشرى بوده اند. با این حال علم باستان شناسى از چندین دهه قبل نه تنها
در اصول و روش تحقیق، بلکه در اهداف نیز به سرعت دستخوش تحولات بنیادى شده
است. باستان شناسى با درک مفاهیم میراث گذشتگان بر مبناى آثار باقى مانده
در درون و برون خاک به این اسناد و میراث گذشته معناى فرهنگى ویژه مى دهد.»
در ایران همپاى کاوش هاى فرنگیان، دانش باستان شناسى نزد معدود دانش
آموختگان و فرهیختگان این رشته، بسط و گسترش یافت. در این میان بودند
بزرگانى که در تثبیت و ساماندهى مبانى باستان شناسى از یک سو و پژوهش هاى
فراگیر عملى این رشته در ایران سهم بسزایى داشتند. باستان شناسی فقط در
زمینه های اکتشاف و پیدا کردن وقایع و رویدادهای تاریخی نیست ، بلکه
باستانشناسی در زمینه زمین شناسی ، عمر کره زمین ، گیاه شناسی ، مردم شناسی
و صدها مورد دیگرفعالیت می نماید .فواید علم باستان شناسی به زندگی بشری
،شناخت ادیان و دیرینه شناسی و آینده شناسی :همانطور که گفته شد باستان
شناسی فقط با دیده ها و علم می خواهد اثبات و معرفی نماید لذا به گفته ها و
نوشته فقط به عنوان یک منبع و یک راهنما تکیه می کند .در جهان امروز خیلی
از گفته ها یا بدون تحقیق به عنوان یک اصل برای مردم شناخته شده اند و یا
توسط اشخاصی با سلیقه شخصی آنها نوشته شده اند.مباحث مورد نظر مجله باستان
شنـاسی ایـران از دوران پارینه سنگی تا دوره
اسلامی، مطالعات باستان گیاهشناسی، باستان جانور شناسی، باستان
زمینشناسی، باستان قوم شناسی، انسانشناسی جسمانی و سایر حوزههای مرتبط

The Journal of
Digital History (JDH) is a joint initiative of the Luxembourg Centre for
Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) at the University of Luxembourg
and the De Gruyter publishing group.
The journal is intended to serve as a forum for critical debate and
discussion in the field of digital history by offering an innovative
publication platform and promoting a new form of data-driven scholarship
and of transmedia storytelling in the historical sciences. As an
international peer-reviewed open access journal, the JDH will set new
standards in history publishing based on a novel multi-layered approach.
The Journal of Egyptological Studies (JES) is published by the
Bulgarian Institute of Egyptology. It is issued on an annual basis since
September 2004. The JES is a result of the development and expansion of
Egyptology in Bulgaria. It gives Egyptologists an opportunity to
publish new original ideas, new approaches and data in connection with
the language, literature, religion, archeology and history of the “place
where our hearts live”.
While interdisciplinary research into the relational paradigm has
produced an impressive body of work across the social and political
sciences and also, increasingly, among historians, there is as yet no
international medium of publication devoted to the study of networks in
their historical contexts. This has put scholars with an interest in
historical network research—both historians and historical
sociologists—at a great disadvantage, and has meant that they have long
been accustomed to publishing research papers in non-historical
journals. The situation for historians interested in network research is
further complicated by academic and cultural idiosyncrasies, since much
of the groundbreaking and recent research into historical networks in
the English-speaking world has been carried out by historical
sociologists, rather than social historians, and has thus remained
mostly outside the sphere of traditional academic history departments.
This has naturally also influenced the means of publication for research
in this area; preferred journals such as Social Networks and the
American Journal of Sociology focus heavily on methodological and
theoretical aspects. In short, there are no international publications
devoted to the study of networks (social and otherwise) from a
specifically historical perspective.
The Journal of Inductive Biblical Studies intends to promote the
hermeneutical approach to the study of the Scriptures generally known as
Inductive Biblical Studies. By Inductive Biblical Study (IBS) we mean
the hermeneutical movement initiated by William Rainey Harper and
Wilbert Webster White that was embodied in the curriculum of The
Biblical Seminary in New York founded in 1900. This approach had
precursors in the history of interpretation and has since the beginning
of the twentieth-century enjoyed widespread dissemination, being taught
at such institutions as Princeton Theological Seminary, Columbia
Theological Seminary, Union Theological Seminary in Virginia, Fuller
Theological Seminary, Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminaries, Azusa
Pacific University, and Asbury Theological Seminary, as well as hundreds
of other institutions and organizations around the world. For more
detailed description of IBS, see Bauer and Traina, Inductive Bible Study: A Comprehensive Guide to the Practice of Hermeneutics (Grand Rapids: Baker, 2011) and the IBS website at http://www.inductivebiblicalstudy.com/.
The Journal of Latin Cosmopolitanism and European
Literatures (JOLCEL) is a peer-reviewed journal which publishes two
issues per year in open access. Our format is dialogical and combines
three articles with a reaction by a respondent. The journal is closely
linked to the activities of the research group RELICS

The Journal of Open Archaeology Data (JOAD) features peer reviewed data
papers describing archaeology datasets with high reuse potential. We are
working with a number of specialist and institutional data repositories
to ensure that the associated data are professionally archived,
preserved, and openly available. Equally importantly, the data and the
papers are citable, and reuse will be tracked. While still in beta
phase, the journal is now accepting papers. We will also be adding new
functionality over the next few weeks, and refining the look and feel.
The Journal of Open Humanities Data (JOHD) aims to be a key
part of a thriving community of scholars sharing humanities data. The
journal features peer reviewed publications describing humanities
research objects or techniques with high potential for reuse. Humanities
subjects of interest to JOHD include, but are not limited to Art
History, Classics, History, Linguistics, Literature, Modern Languages,
Music and musicology, Philosophy, Religious Studies, etc. Submissions
that cross one or more of these traditional disciplines are particularly
encouraged.
The Journal of Religious Competition in Antiquity is a peer-reviewed,
interdisciplinary journal dedicated to exploring competitive
interactions among religious and philosophical persons and groups in the
ancient Mediterranean, including Greeks, Romans, Jews, Christians, and
Muslims. We specifically aim to foster the development of new approaches
and methodologies that highlight contours and nuances of religious
competition between and among these communities and individuals.
Special consideration is given to submissions that are interdisciplinary
in approach and/or employ social-scientific theoretical frameworks. Our
goal is to demonstrate competitive interactions among differing
socio-religious discourses in antiquity and to explore the ways that
these groups mutually influenced each other.
Journal
of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists is an annual academic
journal that publishes specialized research and studies in the fields of
archeology, museums, restoration and Arab national civilizations,
published by the General Union of Arab Archaeologists and the Union of
Arab Universities since 2000 to date. It publishes research studies in
several languages: Arabic, English, French and German and has an
international and regional refereeing committee. Due to the success
achieved by the Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists, the
Editorial Department considered the publication of a new issue of the
Journal in foreign languages, in order to raise the level of academic
research of Arab archaeologists at the international level. There is no
doubt that the Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists is
the result of an archeological academic interaction and movement not
only in Egypt but among all archaeologists in the Arab world from the
ocean to the Gulf. This profound academic product of subjects is not
confined to academic publishing, but is a crucible for academic and
practical rapprochement between the archaeologists, in a sincere attempt
to find a language that is mutually enriching, without programming or
preconditions. Therefore, this convergence succeeded in unifying the
archeological term among archaeologists, in which each researcher
presented his research in a smooth simple language and a term rolling
away from the regional terminology so that each researcher does not
write for himself, but writes in a language of dialogue that is
comprehended by all Arab archaeologists, whether in the East or Morocco.
Thus, the Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists managed
to reach an academic vision and a common research language that was
accepted by many researchers, especially in the field of terminology. In
turn, with the commencement of the new issue of the Union Journal in
foreign languages, we look forward to keeping up with international
publication standards, for the Journal of the General Union of Arab
Archaeologists has obtained the ISI (International Accreditation),the
journal has Impact factor of 0.589 based on international citation
report ( ICR) for the year 2016- 2017 anticipating to reach the desired
objectives.
The Journal of the Hellenic Institute of Egyptology (JHIE)
is jointly co–published annually, in one fascicle, by the Hellenic
Institute of Egyptology (Athens, Greece), by the Archaeological Society
of Alexandria (Alexandria, Egypt) and the cAin Shams University (Cairo, Egypt). The aim of JHIE,
based on the principles of Humanism and the desire for International
Synergies and collaboration between colleagues of different
nationalities that characterize both the Institute and the Society, is
to provide a modern scientific forum for the discussion of a
plethora of aspects, notions and facets from various domains of
Egyptology, Archaeology and Archaeoastronomy, with emphasis on the
religion, funerary texts, language and scripts, Epigraphy, Papyrology,
Sciences (Astronomy, Mathematics, Botany, Architecture, & c.) of
ancient Egypt, as well as Helleno–Roman Archaeology related to Egypt;
furthermore, Coptology is also represented. Interdisciplinarity and
the harmonious interference between various scholarly fields and
disciplines are highly desirable, as is also a general emphasis on the
collaboration of countries all over the Mediterranean Basin,
encompassing studies of individual civilizations (in particular those
related to ancient Egypt and Hellas), as well as common elements,
contacts and interactions among them. Our journal is kindly published,
handled and distributed by Serapis Editions, Athens, Greece. All
payments are due to Serapis Editions, and not to the Institute neither
to the Society.

K.A.S.A. è l’acronimo di Koiné archeologica, sapiente antichità.
E’ uno dei progetti finanziati dal III Programma interregionale IIIA
Italia-Malta, anno 2004-2006, promulgato dalla Regione Sicilia con
contributi della Comunità Europea. Esso prevede la partecipazione di tre
partners,
la Facoltà di Lettere, L’Università di Malta e la Officina di Studi
Medievali di Palermo, per la realizzazione di itinerari turistici
integrati che leghino in percorsi unitari le province di Siracusa e
Ragusa e l’arcipelago maltese.
Il progetto di questa rivista è stato concepito alcuni anni fa da
alcuni membri dell’attuale Comitato scientifico. È stato pensato per
colmare quello che percepivamo come un relativo vuoto nelle
pubblicazioni periodiche, non solo alla luce dei progressi degli studi
storici sul Vicino Oriente antico in generale, ma anche in merito al
significato particolare che questo ramo di ricerca ha assunto in Italia.
Il titolo KASKAL (il logogramma sumero per l’accadico harranu, hulu ‘strada,
percorso’) rimanda alla rilevanza che oggi ha una visione spaziale e
dinamica dell’Antichità e ai problemi delle interrelazioni culturali
relative al Vicino Oriente antico.
Le ‘strade’ a cui si fa riferimento ideale sono quelle che attraversano
spazi ‘densi’: questi possono essere spazi pienamente abitati, o spazi
abbandonati (e quindi ricchi di storia), o anche spazi liminari che
collegano ambienti e culture diversi. Questa rivista è quindi progettata
per coprire un’area geografica, che può anche estendersi oltre i
confini tradizionali del Vicino Oriente per includere regioni limitrofe,
se questo risulta utile per individuare connessioni, influenze e
relazioni specifiche.
Inoltre, pur essendo convinti dell’indispensabile autonomia dei singoli
rami di ricerca, miriamo a mantenere forti legami tra studi storici e
archeologici, proprio perché crediamo che il dialogo continuo tra
storici e archeologi stia portando a revisioni significative delle
rispettive visioni sull’Antichità.
Miriamo anche a rendere questa rivista una rivista internazionale
specificamente aperta ai giovani ricercatori sul Vicino Oriente antico,
per i quali auspichiamo e ci aspettiamo maggiori opportunità di lavoro
sul campo e di ricerca. Essi sono i compagni di viaggio che d’ora in poi
KASKAL spera di incontrare più frequentemente sul suo percorso.

Die Gründung der Open-Access-Zeitschrift MANICULAE geht aus der alltäglichen Erfahrung des Akademievorhabens ,Handschriftencensus‘
hervor. Fortlaufend werden rund um die Welt Entdeckungen und
Beobachtungen gemacht, für die es keinen passenden Publikationsort gibt.
Der klassische Aufsatz in einer Zeitschrift benötigt mehr Zeit, eine
Nachricht auf Twitter erfolgt zwar rasch, ist aber wenig nachhaltig und
nach wenigen Stunden schon wieder vergessen. Manche Entdeckung, so lehrt
die Erfahrung, verschwindet über Jahre oder Jahrzehnte in der
‚wissenschaftlichen‘ Schublade und wird am Ende nicht mehr bekannt
gemacht.
Manuscript and Text Cultures (MTC) is the Journal of the Centre for Manuscript and Text Cultures (CMTC) at The Queen's College in the University of Oxford.
Each issue is devoted to a particular set of questions that are
addressed globally. Articles are at once specialised and
interdisciplinary, and led by the common goal of enabling long-term
research on how knowledge and meaning are shaped and sustained by
material conditions, past and present. As a platform for international
researchers to engage in close dialogue across their areas of expertise
and inform each other about approaches and theories developed in their
various subject areas, the goal of MTC is to generate
discussions that cross subject boundaries and contribute to the
theoretical understanding of material text cultures and their impact on
knowledge production in global literate societies. With our
multidisciplinary approach, crossing traditional academic divisions, we
hope to cast light on the deep structures of human behaviours in
material knowledge production, past and present.

the records of the annual seminar that discusses all aspects of
classical reception. Practitioners' Voices is a response to the
growing awareness that Classical Reception research has to recognise
the full range of processes that shape the impact of classical material
in new contexts. Its aim is to provide a Forum in which theatre
directors, designers, dramaturgs, actors, poets, translators, and all
involved in the creative practices that are so crucial to classical
receptions can discuss the relationship between their work and the
classical texts, themes and contexts on which they draw.

Réflexion(s) est une revue thématique réalisée par des spécialistes de l'antiquité gréco-latine.
Chaque
thème analyse une question qui intéresse le monde actuel en la mettant
en relation avec des événements, des textes ou des personnages antiques.
Notre but est de réfléchir autrement sur notre temps et nos
sociétés, mais aussi de comprendre pourquoi la connaissance de notre
antiquité est encore indispensable pour penser le monde d'aujourd'hui.
Ce but est, plus largement, le but des études classiques : la lecture de
Cicéron ou la visite des ruines de Pompéi sont un miroir dans lequel
nous pouvons apprendre à voir avec un peu de recul (et donc un peu plus
clairement) notre époque.
Religion in the Roman Empire(RRE) hat das Ziel, neue und
integrative Perspektiven auf Religion in der antiken Welt mit Hilfe
einer fächerübergreifenden Methodologie zu fördern und abzubilden.
Ausgehend von der Idee der "gelebten Religion" bietet RRE die
Möglichkeit, neue, im Entstehen begriffene Forschungsarbeiten
aufzugreifen und weiterzuführen. Dadurch können die Fächergrenzen
zwischen Religionsgeschichte, Archäologie, Anthropologie, Altphilologie,
Alter Geschichte, jüdischer Geschichte, rabbinischen Studien, der
Wissenschaft vom Neuen Testament und frühen Christentum, der Patristik,
koptischen Studien, gnostischen und manichäischen Studien und Arbeiten
zur Spätantike und orientalischen Sprachen überwunden werden. Wir
hoffen, die Entwicklung neuer Forschungsansätze anzuregen, die die
lokale und globale Entwicklung der multidimensionalenpluralistischen
Religionen der Antike erfassen.
Since 2020, the Res Difficiles conference series has been a
venue for addressing inequities within the field of Classics, examining
issues arising out of intersectional vectors of race, ethnicity, gender,
sexuality, disability, class, socio-economic status and beyond. An
outgrowth of this conference series, Res Difficiles, The Journal—an imprint of Ancient History Bulletin,
a Green Open Access Journal—invites submissions from individuals,
pairs, or groups, addressing “difficult things” within the discipline of
Classics and related fields. Res Difficiles, The Journal seeks
to publish the “traditional” argumentative forms of inquiry standard to
the discipline, but also reflections upon pedagogical concerns as well
as contributions of a creative, personal, or experimental nature,
including interviews. In addition to individual submissions, we welcome
pitches for guest-edited special issues.
Res Difficiles, The Journal as an imprint of AHB adheres
to the usual North American editorial policies in the submission and
acceptance of articles but imposes no House Style. Authors are, however,
asked to use the abbreviations of L’Année philologique (APh) for journals, and of the Thesaurus linguae latinae (TLL) for Latin authors

La Revue de l’histoire des religions (RHR), publication
trimestrielle fondée en 1880, dont la rédaction est établie au Collège
de France au sein de l'Institut des civilisations, est ouverte à la plus
large collaboration, française et étrangère. Son champ d’étude couvre
toutes les formes du donné religieux, discours et vécu, des origines à
nos jours, sous toutes les latitudes.
Notre publication s’intéresse à la
didactique des langues anciennes et propose une réflexion pédagogique
sur la façon de les enseigner, du Secondaire au Supérieur (Collège,
Lycée, CPGE, Université). La revue pourra aussi se faire écho
d’expériences de classe au niveau du Primaire. Convaincue que les
approches pédagogiques d’un degré d’enseignement sont très souvent
transférables aux autres, l’équipe de cette publication vise en même
temps à favoriser le dialogue entre tous les enseignants de langues
anciennes, indépendamment des appartenances associatives ou syndicales.
La « Revue des Études Tardo-antiques », fondée par l’association « Textes pour l’Histoire de l’Antiquité Tardive
» (THAT) et placée sous son patronage, a l’ambition d’être une revue
scientifique internationale de référence dans le domaine de l’Antiquité
tardive, de ses sources et de ses prolongements. Elle permet aux
chercheurs de publier et de faire reconnaître leurs travaux sur les
textes antiques (éditions, traductions, analyses, confrontations) dans
une perspective historique, qu’il s’agisse de l’histoire proprement dite
ou de l’histoire littéraire, rhétorique, religieuse, des idées, du
droit, de la tradition manuscrite, de leur fortune et de leur réception.
Dotée d’un comité scientifique international comptant des personnalités
du monde de la recherche sur l’Antiquité tardive et d’un comité de
lecture permanent auquel, pour chaque proposition d’article, les experts
les mieux qualifiés sont sollicités d’apporter leur concours, la «
Revue des Études Tardo-antiques » fournit aux auteurs et aux lecteurs la
garantie d’une haute qualité scientifique.
La Revue des Sciences Religieuses est une publication

l’histoire, la théologie fondamentale et dogmatique, la pastorale et la
pratique, l’éthique, la philosophie, les études œcuméniques.
Rhea Classical Reviews is
predicated on the beliefs that: (1) book reviews should be a
constructive, conscientious, and helpful evaluation of the work; (2) the
current review model in Classics and related fields does not always
prioritize these qualities; (3) emerging and alternative scholars, and
particularly individuals within equity-seeking groups, would benefit
from a review venue that embraces their contributions as authors and
reviewers.
Pensando di fare cosa utile e gradita agli studiosi di Egittologia,
Archeologia Egiziana e Papirologia, riproduciamo i volumi della serie
RICERCHE ITALIANE E SCAVI IN EGITTO (R.I.S.E.), pubblicati a partire dal
2004 al Cairo (Champollion Street, 14), per le cure di Maria Casini e
Giuseppina Capriotti Vittozzi del Centro Archeologico Italiano -
Istituto Italiano di Cultura. Ringraziamo la Direzione dell'Istituto
Italiano di Cultura del Cairo, nella persona del Dottor Paolo Sabbatini,
per l'autorizzazione alla diffusione digitale dei volumi.
El presente número de RIHAO aparece luego de un considerable tiempo desde la publi-
cación del número anterior, situación que ha hecho necesario relanzar la revista bajo
una nueva serie. El nuevo equipo de trabajo de la revista apunta, pues, en lo inmediato,
a subsanar los graves problemas de periodicidad que la misma ha experimentado así
como, fundamentalmente, a volver a poner al servicio de los investigadores de la historia
antigua del Cercano Oriente de nuestro país la publicación o cial del Instituto dedicado
a dicha especialidad en la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Más allá de las coyunturas
económicas y los contextos institucionales que sin dudas afectan a toda producción
académica, lograr la periodicidad de una publicación cientí ca –así lo creemos– expresa
un compromiso serio con la necesidad de difusión de una especialidad. Pero, también
hacen al carácter cientí co y académico de una publicación el mantenimiento de una
actitud profesional junto con una variedad de aproximaciones inquisitivas y temáticas,
así como la no menos necesaria contribución de especialistas del exterior. En ese senti-
do, la revista se encuentra abierta a recibir contribuciones nacionales e internacionales
que aborden todas las temáticas y especialidades del campo antiguo-oriental, desde
miradas propias de la egiptología, la asiriología, la hititología, la iranología y los estu-
dios bíblicos tradicionales, ancladas principalmente –aunque no exclusivamente– en
aspectos lológicos y arqueológicos, hasta intervenciones derivadas intrínsecamente
de los cambios y rupturas observados en las ciencias sociales y humanas desde los años
’60 del siglo pasado. Con este espíritu amplio e integrador, aunque sin soslayar en abso-
luto el compromiso con la calidad disciplinar, reanudamos la publicación de RIHAO.

Qualcuno potrebbe chiedersi se, in presenza
di numerosi e autorevoli periodici di diritto romano e diritti dell'antichità
pubblicati anche e soprattutto in Italia, fosse proprio il caso di metterne in
cantiere uno nuovo: se fosse un lettore tendenzialmente benevolo e animato da
incrollabile fiducia nel principio della concorrenza, potrebbe forse dare risposta
positiva affermando che l'ingresso di un nuovo operatore sul mercato (!) dovrebbe
portare a un miglioramento dell'offerta in generale.
La Rivista di Studi
Fenici, ha periodicità annuale ed è destinata ad accogliere articoli da
presentare in lingua inglese, anche se, benchè in forma limitata,
saranno accettati contributi in francese, tedesco e spagnolo.

SAMAI is an online Polish academic journal in the field of classical
antiquity and early middle ages, symbolically until the age of
Charlemagne. It is published in the Institute of History, University of Wrocław, drawing upon the tradition of the Antiquitas, a long-lasting series within Acta Universitatis Wratislaviensis, although in legal sense SAMAI is independent from the Antiquitas.
Acting within this tradition, SAMAI is primarily concerned with ancient
history, first of all with history of ancient Greece and Rome. SAMAI
welcomes also texts dealing with history of Europe, Asia and Africa in
early middle ages, especially if their topic relates somehow to
classical antiquity.

scholars interested in Near Eastern studies, Classics, Religion and
other related fields to share insights with each other. Membership
for a nominal fee is open to faculty, graduate students and anyone with
an interest in ancient Mediterranean religious traditions.
Strata: The Bulletin of the Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society
Strata is an annual peer-reviewed academic
journal that seeks to bring the latest studies of the archaeology of
Israel-Palestine and its surrounding regions to a wider international
audience. We welcome articles on many aspects of research that lead to a
better understanding of the archaeology in this region, an archaeology
that is of great interest internationally because of its significance
both for understanding the development of three of the world’s great
religions and for the important history of Israel-Palestine. We are also
keen to have reviews of recently-published books studies on
archaeological topics of the area.
Studia Biblica Slovaca is
a peer-reviewed scholarly periodical for philological, historical,
exegetical and theological research of the Sacred Scripture of both the

Studies of Biblical Interest (SBI) publishes an annual journal by scholars, researchers, and students who are interested in espousing new and original ideas about the biblical texts and the world in which they were written.
SBI strives to foster an environment of open and pluralistic inquiry through articles related to comparative biblical studies, textual criticism, etymological research, archaeology, anthropology, religion and science, the study of religious and cultural texts worldwide, alternative readings, discussions, critiques, and reviews. We also reserve space in each issue for items that would not traditionally be published in an academic journal, including art, literary fiction, music, opinion pieces, photography, and poetry.
In biblical studies (and academia more generally), opinions are too often hardened into dogmatic positions. Such a state of affairs stifles scholarship. SBI endeavours to ensure that voices from across the field and beyond are represented prominently, regardless of whether the theories and views expressed are in harmony with one another.
SBI looks forward to partnering with you, either as a reader or contributor, in this search for greater understanding of one of the world's foundational texts.
Studies in Ancient Art and Civilization were created in 1991 as an
irregular series which in the first place served as a forum for the
presentation of the Jagiellonian University Institute of Archaeology and
studies provided by its researchers. The series was originated by
professor Joachim Śliwa, who was also its first Editor in Chief, and
since 2010 this function has been fulfilled by professor Ewdoksia
Papuci-Władyka. Since vol. 10 (2007) SAAC has become a regular yearly
periodical. Until present fifteen volumes have been published, among
them two monographic studies (vols. 3 and 11, the latter being Pontika
2006 conference proceedings edited by E. Papuci-Władyka) and three
volumes dedicated to distinguished researchers from our Institute on
occasion of their jubilees (vols. 8 – professor Maria Ludwika Bernhard,
14 – professor Joachim Śliwa and 15 – professor Janusz A. Ostrowski).
SAAC publishes papers in the fields of archaeology, art and civilization
of ancient Egypt, the Near East, Greece and its colonies, Cyprus and
Rome, as well as other, non-Mediterranean ancient civilizations, and
also in history of archaeology, collecting of antiquities and reception
of ancient culture in modern Europe. Special attention is being given to
topics concerning predynastic and early-dynastic Egypt, the Greek and
Roman periods in the Black Sea region, and archaeology of Cyprus, due to
the excavations conducted by researchers from our Institute in these
areas. Objects and artefacts from these excavations are being published
in SAAC.
Established in 2022, Studies in Egyptian Archaeology and Science

and cultural theory in equal measure. Contributions are expected to be
evidence-based, and to follow the highest scientific and ethical
standards relevant to an international scientific community.

comprensione e alla discussione critica di temi, problemi e questioni di
natura storica e filosofica.

The journal Late Antiquity. Studies in Source Criticism stems from the
book series initiated and edited since 1999 by the community of
researchers focusing on late antiquity that was formed by Ewa Wipszycka.
Seven volumes of the series appeared in print under the common title
Christianity in late antiquity. Studies in Source Criticism, and
presented research papers devoted primarily to the study of historical
sources. The journal continues in the same vein, reserving a privileged
and prominent place for research articles dealing with source criticism.
Its thematic scope, however, is much wider when compared to the series,
especially as it welcomes contributions which deal with multiple
aspects of the late antique world and employ a broad range of
approaches, including methodologies of such disciplines as history,
classical philology, philosophy, papyrology, archaeology and history of
art.

wie etwa Akten zu Kongressen, umfassen.
Die WBAGon möchten für Autoren von höchstqualifizierten Publikationen
eine rasche und unkomplizierte Plattform bieten, ihre
wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse einem möglichst breiten Publikum frei
zugänglich machen.
Die archäologischen Disziplinen haben sich – parallel zu populärmedialen
Banalisierungen – zunehmend von zeitgenössischen Diskursen in
Philosophie, Bild-, Medien- und Sozialwissenschaften entkoppelt. Die
Zeitschrift für archäologische Aufklärung setzt sich zum Ziel, die
Aktualität antiker Artefakte zu demonstrieren. Im Fokus steht nicht das
l‘art pour l‘art einer positivistischen Rekonstruktion zerschlagener
Vasen, verschütteter Städte und verwehter Handelswege: Ziel ist vielmehr
die Präzisierung von Konzepten antiker Dingwelten, ihrer Mechanismen
und Regelsysteme. Die Zeitschrift sucht im Trümmerhaufen der Antike nach
Lösungen für die Aporien der Gegenwart.
Founded in 1951, Živa Antika
(“Living Antiquity”) is an academic journal open to original research
from all areas of Classical Studies and Antiquity in general – Greek and
Latin language and literature, philosophy, mythology and religion,
ancient history and archaeology, art, architecture and culture – from
the dawn of the Classical civilisation until the 6th century AD, as well as later classical reception and influences.
Journal of Historical and Archaeological Researches is a
Bulgarian science periodical focusing on history, archaeology and their
auxiliary sciences. All submitted materials are peer reviewed by
authoritative scholars before being published. The Journal was created
and it is financed by an Initiative committee. Currently, we are working

Cahiers de l’Institut du Moyen-Âge Grec et Latin, or Cimagl for
short, was founded in 1969 on the initiative of Jørgen Raasted
(1927–1995) with the strong support of Jan Pinborg (1937-1982). Both of
them were classicists by training and both of them worked in the tiny
research research unit called Institute for Greek and Latin Medieval
Philology, which had been founded in 1958 under the aegis of the Faculty
of Philosophy (later: Humanities) of the University of Copenhagen with
the main purpose of creating a framework for two great editorial
projects: Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae and Corpus Philosophorum Danicorum Medii Aevi. Byzantine
music and medieval philosophy have been the core disciplines served by
the journal since its foundation, although quite a few other disciplines
with a relation to Greek and/or Latin have also made an occasional
appearance in Cimagl.
The aim was to create an easy, cheap and fast outlet for research
done at the institute by using the latest technology, which was then
off-set printing from sheets prepared on electric typewriters. This
would save the time- and money-consuming intervention of typesetters. It
was also part of the idea that the publications could have the
character of test balloons, preliminary results of research that might,
perhaps, later receive a definitive formulation worthy of being
presented to the world in the traditional way as a nicely printed book
or as an article in a traditional scholarly journal.

Hermann Kantorowicz was a formidable legal scholar in the turbulent first three decades of the 20th century, a leading participant in the ‘renaissance’ of legal philosophy in Germany. He gained an international reputation as a legal historian and legal theorist (and no small notoriety for his contrarian, combative views). He first formulated a ‘free law’ theory in Kampf um die Rechtswissenschaft in 1906, his bold strike against orthodox jurisprudence. Substantially modified over time, the theory sought to explain and to justify when and how judges employ discretion when called upon to fill gaps in the law by a process of legal discovery. This book examines the evolution of Kantorowicz’s free law thought – from contra legem adjudication to the science of method trialism; its philosophical, sociological and historical underpinnings; and why it still retains relevance for modern legal methodology.
On the series:
The first volume in the publication series edited by the Max Planck Institute and published by Vittorio Klostermann appeared in 1971. After over 340 volumes and a change of name to “Studien zur europäischen Rechtsgeschichte” in 2002, this revered series is receiving a companion in 2023: “Studien zur Rechtstheorie”. The new series reflects the research on interdisciplinary legal theory being carried out at the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory since 2021, and it will make use of the same proven concept, layout and production quality as the legal historical series. This peer-reviewed series represents an attractive, multilingual forum for excellent monographs and edited volumes from all fields of legal theory.

[We have the following Call for Proposals. DRE]
The American Journal of Legal History is a well-established, quarterly publication covering all facets and periods of legal history. We are now accepting Special Issue proposals for 2027. Deadline: November 30th, 2026
A Special Issue is a peer-reviewed collection of articles centred on a specific theme. Ideally, the theme should focus on a new or distinctive area of inquiry that has not been sufficiently explored in previous AJLH work, holds broad relevance, and aligns with the Journal's aims and scope. This provides an opportunity to collectively explore a new topic, potentially developing insightful new lines of research and practice through interdisciplinary dialogue.
A proposal should contain the following information:
The names, contact details, and positions of the proposed Guest Editor(s) together with brief biographical details.
The title of the proposed special issue.
A one-page “call for papers” indicating the main theme, key topics, and methodological foci for submissions to the Special Issue (500 words maximum).
A description of the rationale behind the proposal, its planned scope, innovative nature in relation to existing published work, and likely relevance for readers of the American Journal of Legal History (500 words maximum).
A list containing titles and short abstracts of any potential contributions, information about the authors and indication of their commitment. Guest editors are also encouraged to write a substantive introductory article developing the state of the art around the topic.
A detailed timetable, including a deadline for the first submission, a period for review and resubmission (done by the Guest editors), and a deadline for final papers.
Key information. The team of Guest Editors for the Special Issue will handle all manuscripts from their initial submission; they assign reviewers, and they make decisions (reject, revise, conditionally accept) and communicate those decisions to the authors. Guest Editors are encouraged to use a mix of invited and open submissions for the Special Issue, working to actively solicit quality submissions. However, all manuscripts for the Special Issue must undergo double-anonymised peer review and revisions according to normal AJLH review process. Final acceptance of papers is done in consultation with the Editors of the American Journal of Legal History. A special issue typically has 5-6 regular length papers, plus editors’ introduction.
Ready to send proposal? Proposals and queries may be sent to ajlh.editorialoffice@theeditorialhub.com by November 30th, 2026

The Summer 2026 issue of the Journal of American Constitutional History is now online:
Legal Process Theory, a process-focused jurisprudential framework that predominated in the American legal academy in the 1950s with lasting influence on American constitutional development, has for decades since been depicted as a complacent and relativistic jurisprudence, designed to evade controversial value judgments by seeking substantively neutral determinacy in matters of process. I upend this wrongful narrative by recovering the inspiration that Legal Process thinkers took from John Dewey’s democratizing approach to pragmatism, and in particular, from Dewey’s commitments to the interconnection of fact and value and the moral productivity of deliberative and collaborative processes. I argue that Dewey’s rightful influence on Legal Process Theory has been obscured by prominent left-leaning academic accounts that erroneously attribute to him value relativism and a depoliticizing relativist theory of democracy, which Legal Process thinkers supposedly repurposed for the legal domain. But Dewey rejected ethical and intellectual relativism; he also rejected absolutism. I argue that the Legal Process thinker Lon Fuller followed Dewey’s democratizing pathway through these extremes and adapted it to legal theory. I further connect Fuller’s Deweyan jurisprudence to the canonical mid-century Legal Process text written by Henry Hart and Albert Sacks, and to the legal pragmatism espoused by former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. Following Dewey, Legal Process thinkers mounted a compelling and synthetic yet underappreciated response to the difficult questions raised by Legal Realism about moral and legal relativism and the relationship between judicial and democratic decision making.
In 1787, James Madison proposed that Congress should wield a “negative” over state laws. Historians, legal scholars, and political theorists have long argued that this veto was the linchpin of his plan for constitutional reform: the mechanism through which the federal government would suppress irresponsible state legislation, especially laws that infringed on individual and minority rights. According to the standard account, Madison’s support for the negative as a check on majoritarianism is emblematic of his deepest constitutional commitments. While other leading nationalists focused primarily on creating a strong federal government, Madison was chiefly concerned with rescuing democracy within the states by curbing the vices of local legislatures. My article argues that this conventional story about the negative—and Madison’s constitutional thought more broadly—is incomplete. Throughout the spring and summer of 1787, Madison’s principal interest was reconciling national power and stability with republican government. His research on confederal and imperial models suggested that only the prerogatives of monarchs had protected federations against the centrifugal force of their parts. Madison came to believe that without these prerogatives, even a strong general government would become impotent and the confederation it governed would dissolve. The negative was his attempt to find an equivalent power to harmonize the union without adopting a monarchy. Madison’s celebrated theories on minority rights and faction developed as he worked out why a national republic could exercise both the negative and its other powers responsibly. Yet the Convention ultimately rejected both the veto and the Madisonian vision of federalism it underpinned. As a result, Madison left Philadelphia convinced that the delegates had created a “feudal system of republics” lacking a replacement for the unifying power of kings.
For claims about constitutional interpretation that hinge on the Constitution’s “original meaning,” it matters whether members of the Philadelphia Convention, or the state ratifying conventions, or the early post-ratification congresses, asserted that the Constitution was a compact of the states; or whether, instead, compact theory was a novelty that gained adherents only much later.

Journal of Late Antiquity (JLA) is the award-winning first international English-language journal dedicated to the study of Late Antiquity writ large. The Journal
provides a venue for multi-disciplinary coverage of all the
methodological, geographical, and chronological facets of Late
Antiquity. All of Late Antiquity will be represented -- from the late
and post-classical world up to the Carolingian period, and including the
late Roman, western European, Byzantine, Sassanid, and Islamic worlds,
ca. 250-800 CE. JLA is essential, not only as a space for
scholarship dealing with practical and theoretical issues, but, in
particular, to bridge the gap between literary and material culture
scholarship. One of the primary goals of the journal is to highlight the
status of Late Antiquity as a discrete historical period in its own
right. JLA honors include the Association of American Publishers PROSE
Award for Professional and Scholarly Excellence as Best New Journal in
the Social Sciences & Humanities for 2010, and Honorable
Mention/Runner-Up for Best New Journal in 2009 by the Council of Editors
of Learned Journals. JLA also is a two-time winner (2013 and
2019) of the Codex Award, given once per year by the Council of Editors
of Learned Journals in recognition of the best journal on any subject
before 1500.

[We have the following announcement from the ASLH. DRE]
Virtual Working Group 2026-2027: “Histories of Law and Technology”
We are delighted to invite legal historians and historians of technology to participate in the “Histories of Law and Technology” virtual workshop during 2026–2027. The group will explore the historical relationship between law and a variety of different technologies, including agricultural, military, industrial, domestic, communication, surveillance, transportation, and reproduction. We imagine historical explorations of key sociolegal concepts such as “technology,” “invention,” and “innovation” that engage not only constitutional law and intellectual property law, but also torts, contracts, and family law (among others), while considering questions of empire, race, Indigeneity, and sovereignty.
Format: In this workshop, we will discuss pre-circulated drafts of works in progress. We will meet monthly during the September 2026–May 2027 academic year (except for December), for a total of eight meetings. We will meet at a set time (to be determined by participants). Each workshop is 1 hour in length.
Participating in the Workshop: Participation in the group is open to scholars from all backgrounds and locations interested in the history of law and technology. (While maintaining a focus on technology, the group will also welcome those working in the history of science and medicine who are also engaging with law and technology.) We especially invite junior scholars, international scholars, as well as historians of technology who would like to become involved with the ASLH. We expect participants to attend most, if not all, of the meetings.
Presenting a Paper in the Workshop: If you would like to present a work in progress in the workshop, please indicate so in your application.
To apply: By August 31, please send the following to K.Swanson@northeastern.edu and jss2110@gmail.com with the subject line “Histories of Law and Technology”
