项目摘要

The Cambridge Handbook to Latin Epigraphy' offers a comprehensive guide to understanding the production, reception, and study of Latin inscriptions. It embraces ancient inscriptions of all chronological periods, from the earliest Latin inscriptions of the Republic to Late Antiquity (including Christian epigraphy), and of all shapes and sizes, not just public monuments bearing stone and bronze inscriptions, but also graffiti, stamps, and writing in other media. The book starts with an epigraphic sample (Part 1), drawn from the Bay of Naples, with a dual purpose - to illustrate the dynamic epigraphic culture of a particular region and to provide a wide range of sample inscriptions to which reference will be made in the rest of the volume. The aim of this section is to present a selection of inscriptions, covering a broad range of types and chronology. The selection will include not only monumental inscriptions, but also graffiti scatched upon plaster, dipinti (painted inscriptions), and 'instrumentum domesticum' (everyday objects such as pottery storage and transport vessels). The inscriptions will be presented in their archaeological context as much as possible. Some of the hazards of epigraphic scholarship - notably the misattribution of inscriptions in volumes of Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum published in the 19th century - will also emerge. By drawing on only a limited geographical area, it will be possible to explore the regional significance of epigraphic practice. The aim will be to present an overall analysis of the dynamic epigraphic culture in this area rather than simply a series of disparate epigraphic examples. The examples will illustrate some of the approaches and problems presented in Parts 2-3. Part 2 provides a detailed exploration of the nature of epigraphic culture in the Roman world. It will focus on the motivations behind the production of inscriptions of all types. It will tackle fundamental questions such as 'what is epigraphy?', and will point out the dangers of over-simplification inherent in dividing inscriptions up into traditional categories (such as epitaphs, or honorific inscriptions). It will also consider in detail local epigraphic fashions, examining why, when, and where some sections of society embraced 'the epigraphic habit' more than others. It will address the issue of the extent to which Christianity introduced new fashions into epigraphic practice. A final section 'The Production of Inscriptions' will examine the mechanisms by which inscriptions were created. It will consider the following. How were monumental inscriptions commissioned? To what extent was the final product the result of customer choice? How did the cost of an inscription have an impact on its material and quality? Who controlled the words of the inscribed text and its physical monumental setting? What factors influenced language-choice (looking at bilingualism and code-switching, diglossia, and the use of Latin in the Greek East)? These will be set against the background of the existence of local epigraphies and the spread of Latin in the West (e.g. the disappearance of Italic languages and survival of neo-Punic). Where did inscriptions stand? What sort of control was exerted over public space and the right to set up inscriptions? How did text and context interact (both on the level of the individual monument, with its visual puns and complementary or contrasting messages of text and image, and in the meaningful juxtaposition of monuments, as part of social competition and claims to status)? Lastly, Part 3 provides practical help with dealing with inscriptions in their published form and as they exist in reality. In short, the handbook aims to encourage a more thoughtful use of inscriptions as a means of understanding society and culture in the Roman world, going beyond discussion of inscribed texts as simple documents that can be used to reconstruct ancient history.

《剑桥拉丁文金石手册》为理解拉丁文铭文的制作、接受和研究提供了一本全面的指南。它涵盖了所有年代的古代铭文，从共和国最早的拉丁文铭文到古代晚期(包括基督教金石学)，以及各种形状和大小的古代铭文，不仅是刻有石头和青铜铭文的公共纪念碑，还包括涂鸦、邮票和其他媒体上的文字。这本书以取自那不勒斯海湾的金石样本(第一部分)开始，具有双重目的--说明特定地区的动态金石文化，并提供广泛的样本铭文，将在卷的其余部分参考。这一部分的目的是介绍一系列铭文，涵盖广泛的类型和年表。精选不仅包括不朽的碑文，还包括散布在石膏上的涂鸦，地平蒂(彩绘碑文)和‘Instrumentum Home’(陶器储存和运输器皿等日常物品)。铭文将尽可能在其考古背景下呈现。金石学的一些危险--特别是19世纪出版的《拉丁语文集》中铭文的错误归属--也将浮出水面。通过只利用有限的地理区域，就有可能探索金石学实践的区域意义。其目的将是呈现一个动态的金石学文化在这一领域的全面分析，而不是简单的一系列不同的金石学例子。这些例子将说明第2-3部分中提出的一些方法和问题。第二部分对罗马金石文化的本质进行了详细的探讨。它将集中于制作各种类型铭文背后的动机。它将解决诸如什么是金石学这样的基本问题，并将指出将碑文划分为传统类别(如墓志铭或敬文)所固有的过于简单化的危险。它还将详细考虑当地的铭文时尚，调查为什么、何时、何地某些社会阶层比其他人更喜欢铭文习惯。它将解决基督教在多大程度上将新时尚引入金石学实践的问题。最后一节“碑文的制作”将考察碑文创作的机制。它将考虑以下几点。碑刻是如何委托的？最终产品在多大程度上是客户选择的结果？铭文的成本对其材料和质量有何影响？是谁控制了铭文的文字和它的物理纪念碑背景？什么因素影响了语言的选择(看看双语和代码转换，失语症，以及拉丁语在希腊东部的使用)？这些将以当地铭文的存在和拉丁语在西方的传播(例如，意大利语的消失和新布匿人的生存)为背景。碑文立在哪里？对公共空间和立碑权实行了什么样的控制？文字和背景是如何相互作用的(无论是在单个纪念碑的层面上，通过其视觉双关语和文字和图像的互补或对比信息，还是在纪念碑的有意义的并置中，作为社会竞争和地位主张的一部分)？最后，第三部分提供了实际帮助，帮助我们处理出版形式和现实中存在的铭文。简而言之，这本手册旨在鼓励更深入地使用碑文，作为了解罗马世界社会和文化的一种手段，而不仅仅是将碑文作为可以用来重建古代历史的简单文件来讨论。
