Lexicon Greek Personal Names

项目摘要

The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names (LGPN) project seeks to create and disseminate a comprehensive and authoritative collection of personal name evidence, and so unlock the potential contained in such names for innovative research into every aspect of ancient Greek life. It covers the period from the earliest historical records (8th century BC) to the early Byzantine period (7th century AD). LGPN is not just about names but about people. Every attested bearer of a name is included. It is thus a fundamental tool for research into most aspects of social history. The seven published LGPN volumes (an eighth is in progress) have already established themselves among the most essential items in any ancient historian's toolbox. Through a succession of conferences and publications, LGPN has encouraged a boom in onomastic awareness and research, among literary scholars and social historians as well as epigraphists. The first objective of the present application is to prepare a ninth volume that will cover what in Roman times were the provinces of Syria, Judaea Palaestina, Arabia, Osrhoene and Mesopotamia (henceforth RNE [Roman Near East]), and also the so-called 'Greek Far East' (Iran, Bactria, India). Our current estimate of the number of names involved is c. 30,000, i.e. on a scale to require a volume of 250-300 folio pages. Unlike its predecessors, the new volume will treat regions where evidence is available on a substantial scale in languages other than Greek and Latin (principally Syriac, Hebrew, the various dialects of Aramaic and Arabic, and on a much smaller scale Babylonian cuneiform): some Greek names appear in languages other than Greek, some non-Greek names that appear in Greek (and thus fall within our remit) occur also in non-Greek sources. This is a difficult new challenge and a new opportunity, to deal with which we will recruit a researcher trained in Semitic languages and call on the advice of numerous experts. A new departure in dealing with non-Greek names recorded in Greek will be to give their form (in transcription) in the language to which they belong where known, and a reference to onomastica (where available) for those languages where the name in question is registered. We will thus provide a bridge between two classes of evidence too often kept separate through linguistic barriers. The bulk of the material will come from RNE, and (apart from the coastal region) is of the period of the Roman empire. Even when Greek (and Latin) inscriptions start to appear in good numbers, they often contain Semitic names written in Greek, or Greco-Roman names favoured because they closely resemble Semitic names in meaning or in sound. Names are among the most important witnesses to the often elusive persistence of the indigenous beneath the Greco-Roman veneer. Major issues of cultural interaction are therefore posed by the material to be collected in this volume. The present proposal incorporates a fifth conference-plus-volume in the established LGPN series, at which leading experts will tackle these issues with the aid of the new evidence being collected by the project.LGPN has been an important presence in the field of Digital Humanities since its inception, most recently since a major conversion of the database to allow full online searching on the basis of (e.g.) location, time, and status. But at present it provides only raw data, the names themselves, for historical linguists. Professor Sophie Minon of Lyon has proposed to collaborate with LGPN to produce a 'linguistic extension' to the database which will provide the missing linguistic analysis and allow e.g. all the innumerable compounds containing a given semantic element such as Leo-/-leos to be viewed together. We will collaborate with Professor Minon's team to add this major new component to the database. This will make it as indispensable a working tool for linguists (Greek and comparative) as it is already for historians.

希腊个人名称的词典（LGPN）项目旨在创建和传播个人名称证据的全面和权威的集合，因此释放了这些名称中所包含的创新研究中所包含的潜力，以对古希腊生活的各个方面进行创新研究。它涵盖了从最早的历史记录（公元前8世纪）到拜占庭时期（公元7世纪）的时期。 LGPN不仅涉及名字，而且是关于人的。包括一个名称的每个证明的承载者。因此，它是研究社会历史大多数方面的基本工具。已发表的七本LGPN卷（正在进行的第八卷）已经在任何古老的历史学家工具箱中都确立了自己最重要的项目之一。通过一系列会议和出版物，LGPN鼓励在文学学者和社会历史学家以及居民中兴起善良的意识和研究。本申请的第一个目的是准备第九卷，该卷将涵盖叙利亚，犹太人帕拉斯蒂纳，阿拉伯，osrhoene和Mesopotamia（此后是RNE [ROMAN近东）的省份，以及所谓的“ Greek Fare East”（Iran，Bactria，India，India，India）。我们当前对涉及名称数量的估计是c。 30,000，即规模需要250-300个对开本页面。与前身不同，新卷将处理以外的语言可获得的区域，而希腊语和拉丁语以外的其他语言（主要是叙利亚，希伯来语，希伯来语，阿拉姆语和阿拉伯语的各种方言，以及在比例较小的巴比伦楔形下）：一些希腊语）：某些希腊语以其他非格里克（Greek）的名字出现在希腊语中，因此出现在希腊语中，因此出现在Greek中（不在格里克（Greek）中，我们都会陷入不合时宜的范围（我们）中，我们将不得不陷入困境（我们的名字中）。这是一个艰难的新挑战，也是一个新的机会，我们将招募一名以闪族语言培训的研究人员，并呼吁众多专家的建议。处理希腊语中记录的非希腊名称的新偏离将是用他们所属的语言（在转录中）以其已知的语言以及对ionomastica的参考（如果有的话）进行注册的那些语言。因此，我们将在两类证据之间提供一座桥梁，通常经常通过语言障碍分开。大部分材料将来自RNE，（除了沿海地区）是罗马帝国时期。即使希腊语（和拉丁文）铭文开始出现在很多数字上，它们也经常包含用希腊语编写的闪族名称，或者被希腊语名称写成，或者是希腊 - 罗马人的名字，因为它们在含义或声音中非常类似于闪族人名称。名字是最重要的见证人，是希腊罗马饰面下的土著人经常难以捉摸的持久性。因此，文化互动的主要问题是由本卷中要收集的材料提出的。本提案在既定的LGPN系列中纳入了第五次会议 - 卷，领先的专家将在该项目收集的新证据的帮助下解决这些问题。LGPN自从其启动以来一直是数字人文知识领域的重要存在，自最近以来，自数据库允许在线搜索的主要在线搜索以来（E.G.G.G.G.G.），以及时间（E.G.G。）。但是目前，它仅为历史语言学家提供原始数据，名称本身。里昂的索菲·米农（Sophie Minon）教授提议与LGPN合作，为数据库生产“语言扩展”，该数据库将提供缺失的语言分析并允许例如，例如所有的无数化合物都包含给定的语义元素，例如狮子座 - / - 狮子座。我们将与Minon教授的团队合作，将此主要的组件添加到数据库中。这将使它成为语言学家（希腊语和比较）的必不可少的工具，就像历史学家一样。
