Forensic Archaeology
Forensic archaeology is mostly defined as the use of archaeological methods and principles within a legal context. However, such a definition only covers one aspect of forensic archaeology and misses the full potential this discipline has to offer. This volume is unique in that it contains 57 chapters from experienced forensic archaeological practitioners working in different countries, intergovernmental organisations or NGO’s. It shows that the practice of forensic archaeology varies worldwide as a result of diverse historical, educational, legal and judicial backgrounds. The chapters in this volume will be an invaluable reference to (forensic) archaeologists, forensic anthropologists, hu...
And with the Teian lyre imitate Anacreon
This book explores, for the first time, the influence of Anacreon and the Anacreontic tradition on Horace's Odes and Epodes. It focuses first on the original fragments of Anacreon and their reception in Horace, paying attention to the central themes of wine, love, and satire. In a second part, the possibility of conscious Horatian reception of the earliest Carmina Anacreontea (and the broader Anacreontic tradition) as distinct from the original is discussed and shown to be highly probable. This imitation of imitation can be labelled, in Gérard Genette's words, as "literature in the third degree". As a significant predecessor of Horace, Anacreon can be described as no less than the central pivot between Archilochus and Hipponax, on the one hand, and Alcaeus and Sappho, on the other. He represents the tie between Horace's iambic and lyric personae and is thus a much more encompassing predecessor than any one of the other four above-mentioned counterparts.
A History of Codex Bezae’s Text in the Gospel of Mark
As the principal Greek witness of the so-called "Western" tradition of the gospels and Acts, Codex Bezae’s enigmatic text in parallel Greek and Latin columns presents a persistent problem of New Testament textual criticism. The present study challenges the traditional view that this text represents a vivid retelling of the canonical narratives cited by ancient writers from Justin Martyr to Marcion and translated early into Syriac and Latin.
COMUNICAZIONI dell’Istituto Papirologico «G. Vitelli» 12
This volume of Comunicazioni dell'Istituto Papirologico «G. Vitelli» is the twelfth of the series since 1995, and is divided into three sections: 1. Editions and rieditions of texts; 2. Critical notes; 3. Chronique de Lexicographie Papyrologique de la vie matérielle. The texts of the first section belong mostly to the collection of the «Vitelli» Institute, but there are also two documents from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and a fragment from the State Archive of Florence. The four contributions of the second section deal with topics of literary papyrology (exegesis to the classics) and documentary (reading revisions and linguistic notes). The third section, an absolute novelty, introduces the first results of an international research project concerning the lexicon of material culture documented in the papyri from the Hellenistic to the Arab era.

Sixty-five Papyrological Texts
This volume contains editions of sixty-five Greek, Demotic, Coptic and Arabic texts from Egypt, contributed as a token of friendship and respect by forty-six of Klaas Worpa (TM)s colleagues and co-authors upon his retirement from the Papyrological Institute of the University of Leiden in August 2008. The contents are as diverse as Klaas Worpa (TM)s own wide range of interests, and provide a vivid impression of life and culture in Graeco-Roman Egypt. The texts are written on papyrus, potsherds, parchment, paper and wood. They include both literary and documentary papyri and ostraca, and date from the third century BC to the eleventh century AD. They are published fully, most for the first time, with transcriptions and translations, and are accompanied by photographs.
Land and Power in Ptolemaic Egypt
This history of land tenure under the Ptolemies explores the relationship between the new Ptolemaic state and the ancient traditions of landholding and tenure. Departing from the traditional emphasis on the Fayyum, it offers a coherent framework for understanding the structure of the Ptolemaic state, and thus of the economy as a whole. Drawing on both Greek and demotic papyri, as well as hieroglyphic inscriptions and theories taken from the social sciences, Professor Manning argues that the traditional central state 'despotic' model of the Egyptian economy is insufficient. The result is a subtler picture of the complex relationship between the demands of the new state and the ancient, locally organized social structure of Egypt. By revealing the dynamics between central and local power in Egypt, the book shows that Ptolemaic economic power ultimately shaped Roman Egyptian social and economic institutions.
Copying Early Christian Texts
It is widely believed that the early Christians copied their texts themselves without a great deal of expertise, and that some copyists introduced changes to support their theological beliefs. In this volume, however, Alan Mugridge examines all of the extant Greek papyri bearing Christian literature up to the end of the 4th century, as well as several comparative groups of papyri, and concludes that, on the whole, Christian texts, like most literary texts in the Roman world, were copied by trained scribes. Professional Christian scribes probably became more common after the time of Constantine, but this study suggests that in the early centuries the copyists of Christian texts in Greek were normally trained scribes, Christian or not, who reproduced those texts as part of their trade and, while they made mistakes, copied them as accurately as any other texts they were called upon to copy.
Comunicazioni dell’Istituto Papirologico «G. Vitelli»
Il tredicesimo volume di Comunicazioni dell’Istituto Papirologico «G. Vitelli» è articolato, come il precedente, in tre sezioni: 1. Edizioni e riedizioni di testi; 2. Note critiche; 3. Chronique de lexicographie papyrologique de la vie matérielle. Nella prima sezione sono presenti testi, editi per la prima volta o oggetto di una revisione e di una nuova edizione, appartenenti a varie collezioni. Si presenta qui anche un eccezionale reperto di età araba, che fa parte della collezione dell’Istituto Papirologico «G. Vitelli». La seconda sezione accoglie tre contributi con attente osservazioni paleografiche e linguistiche a testi letterari e documentari, e un quarto che offre un riassunto esaustivo sullo stato di pubblicazione di un archivio parte della collezione dell’Istituto. La terza sezione, infine, come ormai consolidato dal precedente volume delle Comunicazioni, raccoglie numerosi frutti del progetto di ricerca internazionale sulla lessicografia della cultura materiale (Lex.Pap.Mat.) documentata nella lingua dei papiri.
