Written by an international cast of experts, The Materiality of Text showcases a wide range of innovative methodologies from ancient history, literary studies, epigraphy, and art history and provides a multi-disciplinary perspective on the physicality of writing in antiquity. The contributions focus on epigraphic texts in order to gauge questions of their placement, presence, and perception: starting with an analysis of the forms of writing and its perception as an act of physical and cultural intervention, the volume moves on to consider the texts’ ubiquity and strategic positioning within epigraphic, literary, and architectural spaces. The contributors rethink modern assumptions about the processes of writing and reading and establish novel ways of thinking about the physical forms of ancient texts.

Der Band bietet erstmals einen deutschsprachigen Überblick zur griechischen Epigraphik in ihrer kulturgeschichtlichen Bedeutung. Die Inschriften werden zum größten Teil abgebildet sowie ediert, neu übersetzt und diskutiert. Aufgenommen sind 65 aussagekräftige epigraphische Zeugnisse vom 8. Jh. v. Chr. bis in die Renaissance, die Einblicke in unterschiedliche Bereiche wie religiöse Bräuche, Kunst und Handwerk, antike Schule und Bildung oder ökonomische Aspekte geben. Die Auswahl berücksichtigt zum einen typische Textgattungen (wie Weih- oder Grabinschriften), bietet zum anderen aber auch singuläre Inschriften wie die Wünsche eines Ölverkäufers an Zeus oder die Klage eines Lehrlings. Mit Zeugnissen von Griechenland bis Afghanistan werden weite Teile der antiken Welt berücksichtigt. Die hier herausgegebenen Inschriften berühren vielfältige kulturelle Kontexte, die ebenso für Altertumswissenschaftler wie Kulturwissenschaftler, Historiker, Soziologen oder jeden Leser mit Interesse an der antiken Welt von Interesse sind. The inscriptions include dedications to the gods, artist signatures, the oldest letter in Europe, declarations of love, and records of house sales: since Greek writing was developed in the 8th century BCE, all kinds of inscriptions were created that offer insight into cultural history. After an introduction about the cultural significance of Greek epigraphy, the study examines 65 inscriptions from the 8th century BCE through the Renaissance.
