Corpus Inscriptionum Iudaeae/Palaestinae

在前现代时期，有一些时期，铭文是公共交流的最重要手段之一。因此，下面的两个签名人向DFG申请支持这里描述的项目。它的目的是收集和编辑所有来自所谓的近东地区的铭文，这些铭文不包括在《叙利亚和约旦希腊和拉丁文》中，即以色列（根据教科文组织规则，不包括巴勒斯坦权力机构和戈兰地区）。它的时间跨度从公元前4世纪开始，即希腊-罗马在近东地区的霸权开始，到公元7世纪中期结束，即大约一千年的历史;此外，它是一个多语言语料库：它包括该地区使用的所有语言，即拉丁语，Geek和各种闪族语言：希伯来语、腓尼基语和各种阿拉姆语“方言”（犹太语、纳巴泰语、伊都迈语和帕尔米拉语、基督教阿拉姆语和叙利亚语）、萨穆德语以及格鲁吉亚语和亚美尼亚语。所有这些语言的铭文都将被收集，阅读，翻译，并尽可能在其考古背景下进行研究。它们的内容变化很大：政治事件，行政和司法，宗教，经济;它们比文学来源更能反映社会的日常生活。在这部作品中，不同语言的使用证明了许多民族的存在，他们彼此生活在一起，彼此在一起;它们的内容在很大程度上揭示了整个地区的社会交往。不用说，在这个领土上使用的语言非常多，因此绝对需要一组使用单一语言的专家相互密切合作。

In pre-modern times there were periods in which inscriptions constituted one of the most im-portant means of public communication. Therefore the two undersigned applied to the DFG to support the project described here. It aims at collecting and editing all the inscriptions from that part of the so called Near East which is not included in the Inscriptions Grecques et Latines de la Syrie et de la Jordanie, namely Israel (excluded is - according to the UNESCO-Rules - the area of the Palestinian Authority and the Golan). Its time span extends from the 4th century BC, the beginning of Graeco-Roman hegemony in this part of the Near East, to its end in the middle of the 7th century AD, i.e. more or less one thousand years of history; furthermore it is a multi-lingual corpus: it includes all the languages used in this area namely, Latin, Geek and the various Semitic languages: Hebrew, Phoenician and the various Aramaic “dialects” (Jewish, Nabataean, Idumaean and Palmyran, Christian Aramaic and Syria), Thamudic, as well as Georgian and Ar-menian. All the inscriptions in these languages are to be collected, read, translated and as much as possible studied within their archaeological context. Their contents vary a great deal: political events, administration and jurisdiction, religion, economy; they reflect the everyday life of a so-ciety to a much greater extent than the literary sources do. The use of different languages attest-ed in the collection testifies to the existence of numerous ethnic groups, who lived alongside each other, and together with each other; their content goes a long way to reveal social communica-tions within the entire region. Needless to say the very many languages used in this territory have made it absolutely necessary for a group of specialists in single languages to cooperate closely with each other.
