Circumnavigation Periplous Pseudo Skylax student

项目摘要

The Circumnavigation (Periplous) attributed to Skylax of Karyanda, a Greek prose work of c.9,000 words, survives in a corrupt 13th-century manuscript. It describes the coasts of the Mediterranean, Black Sea, and NW Africa together with laconic information about peoples, cities, rivers, islands, sailing distances and times, and some ethnographic description. Though Skylax is known from Herodotos as an explorer who lived c.500 BC, the Circumnavigation cannot be by him as it repeatedly refers to things that were the case only in the later 5th and 4th centuries. Though it was formerly seen as a navigational manual, it is now regarded by most scholars as a library-based work drawing on written sources. Building on recent scholarship on Greek geography, I argue that it is a research treatise made at a time of intense intellectual activity in 4th-century Athens.The Circumnavigation is the oldest surviving Greek work devoted entirely to geography, and one of few technical treatises we have from the Classical period. Yes there has been no full edition since that of Karl Müller (1855). A new commentary is urgently needed.My research will re-examine the issue of the work's original purposes. It will specifically focus on the methodology of reconstructing the manuscript (in this matter, earlier editors have sometimes been too interventionist), and will exploit geographical and archaeological evidence not available to earlier editors in order to identify places named in the text and offer new restorations of corrupt passages. Despite its terse nature, there are unifying, even literary features of the text that deserve to be highlighted. It is not a naive compilation as is sometimes thought. It relates closely to the development of Classical Greek geography. Another important context is that of Greek colonization, which provides much of the frame in which Pseudo-Skylax's text is set; recent changes in how we understand of this process will inform the work.I began intensive research in 2006-7. Research for a 'student edition' is almost complete, and this will be delivered for publication by the end of institutional leave in January 2010. This edition comprises a short introduction, the revised Greek text, translation (the first to be published in English), and short historical commentary.During AHRC leave, the work will be expanded and submitted as part of 'Fragmente der griechischen Historiker' V, an international project led by Hans-Joachim Gehrke (Berlin). FGrHist V is the geographical continuation of Jacoby's monumental corpus of fragmentary Greek historical texts (1923-58), and will be a major research tool building on recent advances in our understanding of Greek geographers. This expanded version will contain testimonia and fragments, the main text of the Circumnavigation, translations, full textual apparatus, introduction to the Commentary, and the historical commentary itself. The much longer introduction and commentary than in the BPP edition will allow room to discuss textual problems and literary and narrative features of the text, and to set the Circumnavigation more fully in the context of other Greek geographers.

圆周（Periplous）归因于Karyanda的Skylax，这是希腊散文的9,000个单词，在腐败的13世纪手稿中得以幸存。它描述了地中海，黑海和西北非洲的成本，以及有关人，城市，河流，岛屿，航行距离和时代以及一些民族志描述的简洁信息。尽管Skylax从Herodotos中被称为公元前500年的探险家，但它不能由他出发，因为它反复提到仅在5世纪后期和4世纪后期就是这种情况。尽管以前被视为航海手册，但现在大多数学者将其视为基于图书馆的书面资料的作品。我认为，基于希腊地理的最新奖学金，这是在4世纪雅典在智力活动中进行的一项研究论文。周期性的研究是最古老的希腊工作，完全专门致力于地理，而我们从古典时期则拥有的少数技术条约之一。是的，自KarlMüller（1855）以来，没有完整版。我的研究将迫切需要新的评论。将重新检查作品的最初目的的问题。它将特别关注重建手稿的方法（在此问题上，有时早期的编辑过于干预主义者），并将探索早期编辑者无法获得的地理和考古证据，以便识别文本中命名的地方并提供新的腐败经文的修复。尽管有简短的性质，但文本的文学特征还是值得强调的统一文学特征。这不是有时认为的天真汇编。它与古典希腊地理的发展密切相关。另一个重要的环境是希腊殖民化的情况，它提供了设置伪skylax文本的大部分框架。我们对这一过程的了解的最新变化将为这项工作提供信息。我于2006 - 7年开始进行深入研究。 “学生版”的研究几乎是完整的，这将在2010年1月的机构假期结束之前发表。该版本包括简短的介绍，修订的希腊文本，翻译，翻译（首次以英语出版）和简短的历史评论。（柏林）。 FGRHIST V是雅各比（Jacoby）碎片希腊历史文本（1923-58）的纪念性语料库的地理延续，它将成为我们对希腊地理学家了解的最新进步的主要研究工具。扩展的版本将包含证词和片段，循环措施的主要文本，翻译，完整的文本设备，评论简介以及历史评论本身。比BPP版本中更长的介绍和评论将使房间可以讨论文本问题以及文本和叙事特征，并在其他希腊地理学家的背景下更充分地设置环游。
