Attic inscriptions in UK collections (AIUK)

石碑是由雅典古城的居民创造的最重要和数量最多的书面文件，一直流传到今天。从公元前7世纪到公元3世纪的20，000多个这样的铭文中，大约有1%（约1000个）是现存的。220)在英国的收藏，主要是（约。163)在大英博物馆（BM），但也包括其他收藏，如阿什莫林博物馆，牛津大学和菲茨威廉博物馆，剑桥，私人收藏，并在雅典的英国学校。大多数铭文记录了公民大会和其他机构的决定、财务账目、租赁、对神灵的奉献和葬礼纪念碑。其中许多都装饰有浮雕，它们是学者和学生的首要资源，也是博物馆和收藏品所在地游客的潜在参与纪念碑。然而，总的来说，这些铭文受到忽视。最后一个系统的版本的阁楼铭文在BM日期从1874年，它是在很大程度上是这个版本的基础上，博物馆目前的在线目录。自1874年以来，景观已经完全改变，不仅是由于博物馆收藏的新铭文，而且由于学术的进步。例如，自那以后，人们发现了数千个阿提卡铭文，这对我们理解已知的铭文具有深远的影响;在许多情况下，这包括BM中的铭文的新片段。1874年出版的权威性的阿提卡铭文语料库（IG I和II）的第一版甚至早于19世纪70年代至19世纪90年代出版的第一版，这些语料库将他们的研究建立在系统的基础上，而这些语料库本身早已被第二版和第三版所超越。我们提出了一个双管齐下的方法，旨在使其在一个最新的时尚学者，学生和公众访问这种材料。这一方法的核心是Attic Inclusive Online（AIO），这是一个于2012年推出的网站，发布Attic铭文的注释英文翻译，以及支持学术论文（AIO论文）。首先，我们建议出版一系列17份AIO论文中的铭文的新版本，每份论文将涵盖一个单独的集合，或者在BM的情况下，一类铭文（例如法令，奉献，葬礼纪念碑）。基于最新的学术参考书目，辅以对石头的新解剖，并辅以照片，AIO文件将包含新版本的铭文，以及文本注释，翻译和评论。出版的主要方式将是在AIO上在线，在那里可以免费查看和下载论文，但也将出版硬拷贝。这将改变这种材料对学者的效用和可及性。其次，包括翻译和照片在内的参赛作品将在AIO的主要网站上发布，并针对不熟悉拉丁文和希腊文的用户，包括学校学生和博物馆参观者提供说明。与此同时，我们将与藏品的策展人合作，通过在线目录和真实的直接向博物馆参观者提供AIO上铭文的翻译和信息。这将包括建议和协助准备例如展示板，其上将通过大英博物馆的移动的网络平台自动链接到AIO材料，或通过QR码，这将使移动的手机上直接访问AIO。材料将开发，旨在加强和促进教学和学习的基础上阁楼铭文在英国的学校学生，无论是虚拟的，并通过访问的集合，存储在一个专门设计的网站的一部分，由教师合作的项目测试后。

Inscriptions on stone are the most important and numerous category of written document created by the inhabitants of the ancient city of Athens that has survived through to the present day. Of the over 20,000 such inscriptions dating from the 7th cent. BC to the 3rd cent. AD that are extant, around 1% (ca. 220) are in British collections, mostly (ca. 163) in the British Museum (BM), but including also other collections, such as the Ashmolean museum, Oxford, and the Fitzwilliam museum, Cambridge, private collections, and the British School at Athens. Most of the inscriptions are records of decisions of the citizen Assembly and other bodies, financial accounts, leases, dedications to the gods and funerary monuments. Many of them are decorated with relief sculpture, and they are a resource of the first importance for scholars and students as well as potentially engaging monuments for visitors to the museums and collections where they are located. Generally speaking, however, these inscriptions have suffered from neglect. The last systematic edition of the Attic inscriptions in the BM dates from 1874, and it is for the most part this edition that is the basis for the museum's current online catalogue. Since 1874 the landscape has been completely transformed, not only by the accession of new inscriptions to the museum's collection, but by the progress of scholarship. For example, thousands of Attic inscriptions have since been discovered, with far-reaching implications for our understanding of inscriptions already known; this includes in many cases new fragments of inscriptions in the BM. 1874 predates even the first editions of the authoritative corpora of Attic inscriptions (IG I and II), published in the 1870s-1890s, which set their study on a systematic footing, and which have themselves long been overtaken by second and third editions. We propose a two-pronged approach to this material designed to make it accessible in an up-to-date fashion to scholars, students and the general public. Central to this approach is Attic Inscriptions Online (AIO), a website launched in 2012 which publishes annotated English translations of Attic inscriptions, together with supporting academic papers (AIO Papers). First we propose to publish new editions of the inscriptions in a series of 17 AIO Papers each of which will cover an individual collection, or in the case of the BM a category of inscriptions (e.g. decrees, dedications, funerary monuments). Based on the most up-to-date scholarly bibliography, supplemented by fresh autopsy of the stones, and supported by photographs, the AIO Papers will contain new editions of the inscriptions, together with textual notes, translations and commentaries. The main mode of publication will be online on AIO, where the Papers will be available to view and download without charge, but hard copies will also be published. This will transform the utility and accessibility of this material to scholars. Second, entries including translations and photographs will be published on the main AIO site, with notes aimed at the user without good knowledge of Latin and Greek, including school students and museum visitors. At the same time we will engage with the curators of collections to make the translations and information about the inscriptions on AIO available to the public, both via online catalogues and directly to museum visitors in real time. This will include advising and assisting with preparation of e.g. display boards on which there will be automatic links to AIO material, via the British Museum's mobile web-platform, or via QR codes which will enable direct access to AIO on mobile phones. Materials will be developed, designed to enhance and facilitate teaching and learning based on the Attic inscriptions in the UK by school students, both virtually and via visits to the collections, stored in a section of the site specially designed for the purpose, following testing by teachers collaborating on the project.
