• Selected papers from the meeting of the Computer Working Group of the International Association of Egyptologists (Informatique & Égyptologie), Liège, 6-8 July 2010 par Stéphane POLIS et Jean WINAND with the collaboration of Todd GILLEN Présentation du volume

    This volume represents the outcome of the meeting of the Computer Working Group of the International Association of Egyptologists (Informatique & Égyptologie) held in Liège in 2010 (6-8 July) under the auspices of the Ramses Project. The papers are based on presentations given during this meeting and have been selected in order to cover three main thematic areas of research at the intersection of Egyptology and Information Technology: (1) the construction, management and use of Ancient Egyptian annotated corpora; (2) the problems linked to hieroglyphic encoding; (3) the development of databases in the fields of art history, philology and prosopography. The contributions offer an up-to-date state of the art, discuss the most promising avenues for future research, developments and implementation, and suggest solutions to longstanding issues in the field.

    Two general trends characterize the projects laid out here: the desire for online accessibility made available to the widest possible audience; and the search for standardization and interoperability. The efforts in these directions are admittedly of paramount importance for the future of Egyptological research in general. Indeed, for the present and increasingly for the future, one cannot overemphasize the (empirical and methodological) impact of a generalized access to structured data of the highest possible quality that can be browsed and exchanged without loss of information.

    Studies in the cultic honours for Hellenistic leaders and benefactors mainly focus on the ideological and diplomatic features of the phenomenon. Conversely, the papers collected in this volume aim to shift the focus to its material and practical aspects: media, ritual action and space, agency, administration and funding. Specialists in Hellenistic history, epigraphy, papyrology, numismatics, and archaeology provide fresh reassessments of a variety of documentary dossiers concerning both institutional and non-institutional agents (cities, kingdoms; individuals, associations), Greek and non-Greek, across the Hellenistic Eastern Mediterranean world. Moreover, this interdisciplinary investigation of the materiality of rituals addressed to human benefactors as to, or together with, traditional gods allows us to go beyond a commonly accepted yet methodologically arbitrary separation between cultic honours for deities and for human beings. The latter are often still considered as an isolated and paradoxical feature of ancient Greek polytheism, and as a deviation from ‘traditional’ religion, i.e., the cults for gods and heroes as they were already practised in the archaic and classical polis. Rather, the case studies dealt with in this book contribute to shedding new light on the way ancient people could exploit the ritual and administrative toolkit of their religious system in order to satisfy new needs. In other words, one may state that cultic honours for political leaders do not provide an exception to the way Greek polytheism functioned, but are fully embedded within it, and substantially contributed to its development in the Hellenistic age.

  • Studies in the Epicletic Language of Hellenistic Honours Stefano G. CANEVA

    This book focuses on the contribution of epithets and compound denominations to the definition of the religious figure of sovereigns and other political leaders in the Hellenistic world, from Philip II and Alexander III to Kleopatra VII and the beginning of the Roman Principate.

    Questions and methodologies related to the political history of the Hellenistic Mediterranean are combined with the results of recent studies in the functioning of the Greek epicletic system to provide a fresh reassessment of the entanglement between honorific practices and the religious life of Hellenistic communities, from continental Greece to Egypt, from Syracuse to Bactria. Reconsidering the relationships between honours and religion also implies reversing the question of the influence of Greek religion on Hellenistic ruler cults to explore how a new tradition of ritual encounters between human power and the divine sphere may have impacted post-classical developments in Greek polytheism.

    This study questions the traditional view of sacrifices in hero-cults during the Archaic to the early Hellenistic periods. The analysis of the epigraphical and literary evidence for sacrifices to heroes in these periods shows, contrary to the traditional notion, that the main ritual in hero-cults was a thysia at which the worshippers consumed the meat from the animal victim. A particular handling of the animal’s blood or a holocaust, rituals previously taken to be typical for heroes, can rarely be documented and must be considered as marginal features in hero-cults.

    The terms escharaescharonbothrosenagizeinenagismaenagismos and enagisterion, believed to be characteristic for hero-cults, are seldom used in hero-contexts before the Roman period and occur mainly in the Byzantine lexicographers and in the scholia. Since the main kind of sacrifice in hero-cults was a thysia, a ritual intimately connected with the social structure of society, the heroes must have fulfilled the same role as the gods within the Greek religious system. The fact that the heroes were dead seems to have been of little significance for the sacrificial rituals and it is questionable whether the rituals of hero-cults are to be considered as originating in the cult of the dead.

     A review of 2015 par François GEMENNE, Caroline ZICKGRAF, Dina IONESCO (eds.)

    A propos de l’ouvrage

    The State of Environmental Migration 2016: Review of the Year 2015 is the sixth annual volume of the series, which selects and compiles Masters students’ work from the course “Environment and Migration” at the Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA) of Sciences Po in an ongoing partnership with the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Each year, students detail and analyze the year’s environmental events insofar as they have affected various forms of migration. This volume includes several important illustrations: landslides in Colombia, floods in India, an earthquake in Pakistan.

    Overall, 2015 has been a key year with regard to policy developments relating to environmental migration issues. First, the Nansen Initiative, an intergovernmental process launched in 2012 by the governments of Norway and Switzerland, concluded in October with the adoption by 109 States of a Protection Agenda that outlines the rights of those displaced across borders by disasters. Secondly, the adoption of the Paris Agreement at the COP21 in December of 2015 was the key policy event of the year. The first universal agreement on climate change is mostly focused on greenhouse gas emissions reductions, but also addresses migration and displacement, as it created a task force to advise the UNFCCC bodies on these issues. The task force is expected to serve as a hub for the integration of research and policy on climate change and migration in the UNFCCC negotiations, and should be established as part of the Warsaw International Mechanism on Loss & Damage. This new edition of The State of Environmental Migration will hopefully serve as a reminder of the magnitude and importance of the challenges to come.

  • An Account of the Language and Terminology of Clauses in Greek Legal Documents from Ptolemaic, Roman and Byzantine Egypt Uri YIFTACH This book presents the results of a long-term investigation into the structure of Greek legal documents preserved on papyrus. It provides a clause-by-clause analysis of 281 formulations used in contracts, mostly from Egypt, spanning the early Hellenistic to the late Byzantine period. Designed as both a typology and a research tool, the study is based on the Synallagma database—a digital corpus first created with the support of the Israel Science Foundation and now hosted at the University of Münster. The approach is philological, quantitative, and comparative: each clause is examined for its syntactic form, legal function, and diachronic trajectory. The goal is to uncover the linguistic mechanisms by which scribes encoded rights, duties, and transfers of ownership. As a contribution to legal history and historical linguistics, the book offers an empirical foundation for the study of formulaic writing in antiquity—well beyond the specific body of sources it analyzes.  
  • La vie quotidienne en Égypte au IIIe siècle par Antonio Ricciardetto & Danielle Gourevitch Les papyrus retrouvés en masse dans les sables d’Égypte offrent la possibilité de connaître la vie quotidienne des habitants du Pays du Nil sous la domination des Romains, non seulement des hommes et des femmes, mais aussi des enfants. Ils ne peuvent dès lors que susciter la curiosité des jeunes lecteurs. C’est sur cette documentation abondante que se fonde Théon, l’enfant grec d’Oxyrhynque. Un tantinet bavard mais surtout très curieux, Théon raconte son histoire en Égypte, au début du IIIe siècle. Du haut de ses onze ans, il décrit le monde qui l’entoure. Au fur et à mesure du récit, le garçon grandit ; il apprend le métier de tisserand, qui est celui de son père et de ses aïeux. Le récit s’achève par la fin de son enfance et son désir de se marier, et par trois brèves histoires, trois « héros » qui le font rêver : Alexandre le Grand, Cléopâtre et Antinoos. À l’exception de l’intrigue, qui est imaginée, tout, dans le récit, est véridique et documenté. Le livre est aussi illustré de nombreuses photographies de portraits, d’objets et de lieux, afin de sensibiliser les enfants et les adolescents à l’histoire de l’art et à la variété de l’iconographie. Il s’adresse donc aux jeunes lecteurs, amateurs d’histoire, mais on peut aussi lire la vie de Théon en famille.
