Lexicon Greek Personal Names Lower

项目摘要

This project will create an authoritative collection of Greek personal name evidence from Egypt, unlocking the potential contained in such names for innovative research into every aspect of ancient life in Greco-Roman Egypt. It forms part of the Lexicon of Greek Personal Names (LGPN) project which covers the period from the earliest historical records (8th c. BC) to the early Byzantine period (7th c. 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 imminent, a ninth in progress) have established themselves among the 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. Those nine volumes will have covered the whole ancient Greek world from Italy to Pakistan, other than Egypt. We plan to tackle Egypt in two phases; the first, the subject of the present application, is to cover Lower (i.e. northern) Egypt (the Nile delta) and the Fayum oasis. Our current estimate of the number of persons involved is c. 100,000, i.e. on a scale to require two volumes of c. 450 folio pages. The history of Greco-Roman Egypt is the history of the imposition of first Greek, then Roman rule upon a tenacious ancient culture. Naming is one of the key sources of evidence for the complicated cultural accommodations and resistances that occurred. Male Egyptians seeking to get ahead in the public sphere often took a Greek name in addition to an Egyptian (sometime 'translated' from the latter); under Roman rule they often bore two Greek names, apparently in imitation of the two (or three) names borne by Roman citizens. The emergence of numerous Greco-Egyptian hybrid names by contrast attests a sense in which cultural mixing was taken for granted. Later, new names become a crucial if controversial index of the spread of Christianity. Egypt presents two special challenges. First, evidence in Greek here co-exists with that in Egyptian demotic. Second, because of the survival of papyri in a dry climate, the quantity of evidence available is uniquely abundant. We will meet both challenges by collaboration with the creators of Leuven's Egyptological website Trismegistos (TM), which has already collected most of the names attested in Greek and Egyptian (demotic) sources, but in a form which urgently requires sifting and sorting. Importing the Leuven data through a specially designed interface will allow much rapider progress than in previous volumes. These twin strategies will allow us to include the seemingly unmanageably copious Egyptian material in user-friendly form within our series of published volumes, and also on the searchable website along with the rest of the Greek world.Results will be disseminated via the two volumes (listing every bearer of every name under place of origin), the website, and a sixth conference-plus-volume in the established LGPN series, at which experts will tackle the issues of cultural interaction and change posed by the Egyptian material with the aid of the evidence collected by the project.LGPN has always been an important presence in the field of Digital Humanities, most recently since a major conversion of the database to allow full online searching on the basis of (e.g.) location, time, and status. In collaboration with a team led by Project Partner Sophie Minon of Paris we will develop a 'linguistic extension' (LGPN-Ling) which will provide a full linguistic analysis of all Greek names in the database. We will launch LGPN into the world of Linked Open Data via an open source tool, to be created in 2018, which will embed links to LGPN in the digital 'Inscriptions of Sicily' and which we will re-use to link up with all other digital epigraphic corpora.

该项目将为埃及创建一个权威的希腊个人名称证据集合，从而将这些名称中的潜力释放出对希腊罗马埃及古代生活各个方面的创新研究的潜力。它构成了希腊个人名称词典（LGPN）项目的一部分，该项目涵盖了从最早的历史记录（8thc。BC）到早期拜占庭时期（第7章）。 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。已发表的七卷（即将到来的第八次，正在进行的第八次）已经在任何古代历史学家的工具箱中都建立了自己的基本项目。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。除埃及以外，从意大利到巴基斯坦，这些九卷将涵盖整个古希腊世界。我们计划分两个阶段解决埃及。第一个是本申请的主题，是覆盖较低的（即北部）埃及（尼罗河三角洲）和佛叶绿洲。我们目前对涉及人员人数的估计是c。 100,000，即规模需要两卷c。 450页。希腊罗马埃及的历史是施加第一希腊的历史，然后是罗马统治着一种顽强的古代文化。命名是复杂的文化住宿和发生抵抗的主要证据之一。试图在公共领域取得成功的男性埃及人除了埃及人（有时从后者的“翻译”）之外，还经常以希腊语名字命名；在罗马统治下，他们经常以两个希腊的名字命名，显然是模仿罗马公民承担的两个（或三个）名字。相比之下，众多希腊 - 埃及杂种名称的出现证明了将文化混合视为理所当然的意义。后来，新名称成为基督教传播的有争议的索引至关重要的。埃及提出了两个特殊挑战。首先，希腊语中的证据与埃及的表情共存。其次，由于纸莎草纸在干燥的气候中的存活，可用的证据数量非常丰富。我们将通过与Leuven的Egyptologicy网站Trimegistos（TM）的创建者的合作来应对这两个挑战，该网站已经收集了大多数名称，以希腊语和埃及（Demotic）来源证明，但以一种紧急需要屈服和分类的形式。通过专门设计的接口导入鲁汶数据将允许与以前的卷相比，将允许更大的进步。 These twin strategies will allow us to include the seemingly unmanageably copious Egyptian material in user-friendly form within our series of published volumes, and also on the searchable website along with the rest of the Greek world.Results will be disseminated via the two volumes (listing every bearer of every name under place of origin), the website, and a sixth conference-plus-volume in the established LGPN series, at which experts will借助项目收集的证据来解决埃及材料所构成的文化互动和变化问题。LGPN一直是数字人文科学领域的重要存在，最近以来，自数据库的重大转换以允许根据（例如）位置，时间和状态的基于（例如）位置，时间和状态进行全面的在线搜索。在巴黎项目合作伙伴Sophie Minon领导的团队中，我们将开发“语言扩展”（LGPN-LING），该团队将对数据库中所有希腊名称提供完整的语言分析。我们将通过将于2018年创建的开源工具启动LGPN进入链接的开放数据世界，该工具将嵌入到LGPN的链接中，以“ SICILY的铭文”中的数字化，我们将重新使用以与所有其他数字题词Collaphic Corpora链接。
