Abstract

Scribal Repertoires in Egypt from the New Kingdom to the Early Islamic Period deals with the possibility of glimpsing pre-modern and early modern Egyptian scribes, the actual people who produced ancient documents, through the ways in which they organized and wrote those documents. While traditional research has focused on identifying a 'pure' or 'original' text behind the actual manuscripts that have come down to us from pre-modern Egypt, the volume looks instead at variation - different ways of saying the same thing - as a rich source for understanding the complex social and cultural environments in which scribes lived and worked, breaking with the traditional conception of variation in scribal texts as 'free' or indicative of 'corruption'. As such, it presents a novel reconceptualization of scribal variation in pre-modern Egypt from the point of view of contemporary historical sociolinguistics, seeing scribes as agents embedded in particular geographical, temporal, and socio-cultural environments. Introducing to Egyptology concepts such as scribal communities, networks, and repertoires, among others, the authors then apply them to a variety of phenomena, including features of lexicon, grammar, orthography, palaeography, layout, and format. After first presenting this conceptual framework, they demonstrate how it has been applied to better-studied pre-modern societies by drawing upon the well-established domain of scribal variation in pre-modern English, before proceeding to a series of case studies applying these concepts to scribal variation spanning thousands of years, from the languages and writing systems of Pharaonic times, to those of Late Antique and Islamic Egypt

Abstract

"In this bold and groundbreaking book, Brent Nongbri provides an up-to-date introduction to the major collections of early Christian manuscripts and demonstrates that much of what we thought we knew about these books and fragments is mistaken. While biblical scholars have expended much effort in their study of the texts contained within our earliest Christian manuscripts, there has been a surprising lack of interest in thinking about these books as material objects with individual, unique histories. We have too often ignored the ways that the antiquities market obscures our knowledge of the origins of these manuscripts. Through painstaking archival research and detailed studies of our most important collections of early Christian manuscripts, Nongbri vividly shows how the earliest Christian books are more than just carriers of texts or samples of handwriting. They are three-dimensional archaeological artifacts with fascinating stories to tell, if we're willing to listen"--Jacket.

Abstract

For our entire history, humans have always searched for new ways to share information. This innate compulsion led to the origin of writing on the rock walls of caves and coffin lids or carving on tablets. But it was with the advent of papyrus paper when the ability to record and transmit information exploded, allowing for an exchanging of ideas from the banks of the Nile throughout the Mediterranean--and the civilized world--for the first time in human history. In The Pharaoh's Treasure, John Gaudet looks at this pivotal transition to papyrus paper, which would become the most commonly used information medium in the world for more than 4,000 years. Far from fragile, papyrus paper is an especially durable writing surface; papyrus books and documents in ancient and medieval times had a usable life of hundreds of years, and this durability has allowed items like the famous Nag Hammadi codices from the third and fourth century to survive. The story of this material that was prized by both scholars and kings reveals how papyrus paper is more than a relic of our ancient past, but a key to understanding how ideas and information shaped humanity in the ancient and early modern world.

Abstract

"Le πιττάκιον a été considéré comme une société agricole, aux associés solidaires, dirigée par le pittakiarque ; ou bien comme un mode de mise en culture de la terre publique, imposé par l’administration : le pittakiarque prenait en fermage de larges superficies et en sous-louait la plus grande partie à d’autres cultivateurs, tout en restant responsable envers le fisc. Dans la vingtaine de textes sur les pittakia qu’on dispose actuellement, on ne discerne pas, sauf erreur, d’indices d’une mise en culture forcée ou de sous-location de la terre, ni de signes de solidarité entre les membres du groupe. Le rôle du pittakiarque reste indéfini. Ce qu’on peut signaler de nouveau c’est que deux pittakiarques étaient en même temps des πληρωταί, des liturges exerçant un certain contrôle sur les pittakia, que plusieurs cultivateurs étaient des membres de deux pittakia à la fois et qu’il y avait des rapports durables entre certains membres d’un pittakion ; à signaler aussi le transfert de quelques parcelles de terre fait d’un pittakion à un autre. De plus, on y relève un certain nombre de personnes non attestées par ailleurs ; et de nouveaux toponymes, grecs ou d’origine égyptienne, précisant la localisation des terres cultivées."
