Welcome to my Sandwalk

 
The Sandwalk is the pathway behind Down House, the home of Charles Darwin. Darwin walked here three times a day. It was on this pathway that he composed his thoughts for his books and his letters to fellow scientists and scholars.

In October 2006 I visited Down House. Here's a picture of me on the Sandwalk.

Bodmer Sale (NT P75= P.Bodmer 14-15)

War of words erupts over sale of ancient texts

"Plans by a Geneva museum to sell two ancient manuscripts for millions of dollars have drawn consternation from scholars around the world.
They fear the sale of the papyri, which date back to the 2nd century, could precipitate the break-up of a unique collection of around 50 texts held by the Bodmer Foundation.

The Bodmer, based in Cologny just outside the city, says it needs to raise money to guarantee the long-term future of its museum, which opened only three years ago.

But around 20 academics from Switzerland and abroad are calling for the sale of two manuscripts – gospels of St John and St Luke – to be halted.

According to Paul Schubert, professor of ancient Greek at Geneva University, the collection to which the texts belong is one of the most extensive and valuable of its kind in the world."

Demotic and Abnormal Hieratic Texts [DAHT]

"The aim of this online database of metadata is to provide information
about all published (and semi-published) texts written in these two
scripts, currently some 13120 items. Data entry is of course a
continuous process, but we hope our current coverage is sufficient for
the tool to be useful.
In a first stage the number of fields shown is rather limited: only
the various editions, present and former whereabouts, writing surface,
type, and date are listed. Even fewer fields (publication, inventory,
material, and language) are searchable, so that the service currently
provided is mainly a converter between inventory and
publication numbers and a tool to find the most recent edition of a
text. This will change in the months to come, when more fields will
become available.

The new tool is fully linked to the online version of the
Demotistische Literaturübersicht (Enchoria) [DL] which we put online
in May. This means that all abbreviations of publications used in the
DAHT can be decoded by clicking on them, which will lead the user
to the corresponding full bibliographic entry as found in the DL. And, the
other way round, for each publication in the DL the related
publication entries in the DAHT metadata database are provided. To
this aim we have supplemented the online DL with many pre-1968 entries
and some more recent publications. The DL can still be consulted at
the following address:

http://www.trismegistos.org/dl

The new database is also a part of Trismegistos [TM], a platform
aiming to surmount barriers of language and discipline
in the study of Late Period Egypt (roughly BC 800 - 800 AD). Called
after the famous epithet of Hermes - Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom
and writing who also played a major role in Greek religion and
philosophy, it brings together a variety of projects dealing with
metadata of published documents, not only in Greek, Latin, and
Egyptian in its various scripts, but also in Aramaic, Carian, and
other languages.
Trismegistos contains some 93000 records.

Currently the following projects and institutions are partners in
Trismegistos:

Heidelberger Gesamtverzeichnis der griechischen Papyrusurkunden
Ägyptens [HGV]

Trismegistos also includes other sets of metadata for which
collaboration with other partners is forthcoming. For details please
consult the website.

The aim of Trismegistos, coordinated by the project Multilingualism
and Multiculturalism in Graeco-Roman Egypt (Cologne, Mark Depauw) in
cooperation with the Leuven Homepage of Papyrus Collections (Leuven,
Willy Clarysse and Katelijn Vandorpe), is to facilitate cross-cultural
and cross-linguistic research in a number of ways. First, we have
started establishing direct connections between projects. Bilingual
records included in both the HGV and the DAHT will be identified as
such in the two databases, and it will be possible to compare the two
sets of information. The same holds true for semi-literary texts,
magical papyri and school exercises that are found in both the LDAB
and the HGV.
Secondly, texts of any language or script can be sought for in a
central search engine. The number of fields is very limited right now
(again publication and inventory numbers, material and language), but
we plan to expand facilities in the near future. Trismegistos can be
consulted at the following address:

Elena Esposito "Il Fragmentum Grenfellianum (P.Dryton 50). Introduzione, testo critico, traduzione e commento" Pàtron Editore, Bologna 2006

"Questo libro costituisce la rielaborazione della mia tesi di dottorato, discussa a Bologna nel marzo del 2000. Rispetto a essa, però, appare profondamente mutato: la riflessione sul testo, infatti, che mi ha accompagnato, seppur a fasi alterne, nel corso di questi anni è andata sviluppandosi, modificandosi e ampliandosi in parallelo alla mia formazione e inevitabilmente risuona di tutte le voci con cui in questo periodo ho dialogato. In linea, inoltre, con una tendenza sempre più radicata negli studi papirologici e grazie anche alla recente edizione di Katelijn Vandorpe dell'archivio di Dryton - scoperto alla fine del XIX secolo, ma disseminato in diverse collezioni di tutto il mondo - è stato possibile legare il Fragmentum Grenfellianum a un ben preciso contesto storico e sociale, non senza risultati di un certo rilievo soprattutto per ciò che concerne la fruizione di quella parte della letteratura ellenistica esclusa dai canali di circolazione più dotti e/o ufficiali.
