    ja trvw (λ^ J uu^aunA oWVtC OnXv ^^a^JV /yu* A^-vr^ EARLY ETRUSCAN INSCRIPTIONS FABRETTI 2343-2346 GEORGE HEMPL THIS PAPER IS REPRINTED FROM THE MATZKE MEMORIAL VOLUME PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY XTbe TUntpereitp prese STANFORD UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA 1911 IN MEMORY OF JOHN ERNST MATZKE EARLY ETRUSCAN INSCRIPTIONS FABRETTI 2342-2346 How I, a Germanic scholar, came to be interested in Venetic and Etrus- can, I have told in my report on the results of my Italic studies. This report has been delayed, chiefly by the difficulties inherent in such an under- taking, but it will now be published in a very short time. The present paper is an abstract from it. A few weeks before his death, Professor Matzke urged me to hasten the publication of my report. He said that my silence was being misinterpreted, and that I owed it not only to myself but also to my friends to publish something at once—if only a fragment. I was touched by what he said and the way in which he said it. It was almost exactly what another friend, Otto Jespersen, had written me from Copenhagen not long before, and what still others, as if by concert, now began to urge upon me. I saw the force of their arguments and decided to drop everything else and complete my report. And now that Fate has sud- denly cut short the life of one of them, I can find no more appropriate tribute to lay on his grave than the fragment he so recently urged me to publish.

  • 0. Introduction L2/12-386
    Doc Type: Working Group Document Title: Revised Proposal to Encode Additional Old Italic Characters Source: UC Berkeley Script Encoding Initiative (Universal Scripts Project) Author: Christopher C. Little ([email protected]) Status: Liaison Contribution Action: For consideration by JTC1/SC2/WG2 and UTC Replaces: N4046 (L2/11-146R) Date: 2012-11-06 0. Introduction The existing Old Italic character repertoire includes 31 letters and 4 numerals. The Unicode Standard, following the recommendations in the proposal L2/00-140, states that Old Italic is to be used for the encoding of Etruscan, Faliscan, Oscan, Umbrian, North Picene, and South Picene. It also specifically states that Old Italic characters are inappropriate for encoding the languages of ancient Italy north of Etruria (Venetic, Raetic, Lepontic, and Gallic). It is true that the inscriptions of languages north of Etruria exhibit a number of common features, but those features are often exhibited by the other scripts of Italy. Only one of these northern languages, Raetic, requires the addition of any additional characters in order to be fully supported by the Old Italic block. Accordingly, following the addition of this one character, the Unicode Standard should be amended to recommend the encoding of Venetic, Raetic, Lepontic, and Gallic using Old Italic characters. In addition, one additional character is necessary to encode South Picene inscriptions. This proposal is divided into five parts: The first part (§1) identifies the two unencoded characters (Raetic Ɯ and South Picene Ũ) and demonstrates their use in inscriptions. The second part (§2) examines the use of each Old Italic character, as it appears in Etruscan, Faliscan, Oscan, Umbrian, South Picene, Venetic, Raetic, Lepontic, Gallic, and archaic Latin, to demonstrate the unifiability of the northern Italic languages' scripts with Old Italic.

S. P. CoRTSEN (1932^: 59), navrhl etruský výraz jar jako číslovku „10“. Za její doklad považoval uvedené spojení v textu plátěné knihy cis saris (LL VIII. 1), které interpretoval jako další kalendářní datum.^ S tímto názorem se však nejednou polemizovalo (např. E. Goldmann 1934'**: 200 n., M. Durante 1965^: 315 n.). Neutěšený stav v otázce etruské číslovky „10“ lze ostatně dobře demonstrovat na diskusích z nedávné doby věnované tomuto tématu. Důkaz pro rovnost výrazu jar s číslovkou „10“ se pokusil mj. nabídnout H. Rix <1969®: 853 nn.), který chtěl podobu římské číslice X „10“ odvodit na základě akrofonního principu. Je totiž prokázáno,’ že na několika archaic­ kých nápisech jižní Etrurie bylo použito (místo zde obvyklé sigmy) západo- řecké chí - X - pro transkripci etruského sibilantu „s“. Dříve než však tato nezdařená inovace jihoetruské písařské školy ve Vejích opět vyšla z běžného užívání, tj. nejpozději v 6. stol. př. n. 1., muselo být podle Rixe toto písmeno po vzoru akrofonního principu při tvorbě řeckých číslic použito pro označe­ ní etruské číslovky jar „10“, takže vznikla římská číslice X. Tento výklad (a zároveň důkaz pro jar „10“) se však nezdá být příliš přesvědčivý.^ ‘ Tento článek je pokračováním článku uveřejněného pod týmž názvem v ZJKF (Auriga) 45, 2003, s. 25-34. ’ Zur etruskischen Sprachkunde, in: Symbolae Philologicae O.

This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. Review Article ABSTRACT The term ‘hieroglyphs’ is mostly used in numeral notations. It is also related to languages, even though mathematics itself is a language. The Cretan Hieroglyphs script is one of the writing systems used on the Island of Crete between 2000-1650 BC. The symbols used in Cretan Hieroglyphs are found in many sources among them Phaistos disk is most popular. Cretan hieroglyphs were indigenous mathematical developments as the local writing systems. There may be the interrelationship among such notations or symbols of different civilizations. It was developed in the basis of culture, rituals, and indigenous practices distinctively. Similarly other local indigenous or antique phase’s hieroglyphs were found in different communities. We should care on such indigenous developments would be around in our surroundings too. Here the aim of this paper is to explore the development of Cretan Hieroglyphs numerals as the historical development in mathematical concern. The document analysis and historical approach is used here to conclude the theme of this paper.

  • Platonist V3 N6 1887
    The Platonist. “Platonism is immortal because its principles are immortal in the Human Intellect and Heart.” The Esoteric doctrine of all religions and philosophies is identical. ETRUSCAN NOTES. Part III. THE DICE OF. TOSCANELLA. I. In the year 1847 a pair of ivory dice, marked not with pips but with the following words, MACH, Cl, ZAL, SA, THU, HUTH, were found in a tomb at Toscanella, the Etruscan Tuscania; and it has always been clear to every Etruscologist except Corssen (who attempted to combine the words into a sentence), that we have here the Etruscan numerals from 1 to 6. I am far from say ing that this meaning exhausts the signification of these mysterious words, and have pointed out (vide R. B. jr., The Religion and Mythology of the Aryans of Northern Europe, Appendix D. The Etruscans.) their curious ap parent connexion with the famous Ephesian Letters or Spells, which were engraven on the image of the great Hittite goddess known in common parlance as “Diana (Artemis) of the Ephesians” (cf. Acts, xix. 19; Hesychios and Souidas, in voc. Ephesia- Grammata; P l u t a r c h , Sympos. vii. 5). I would, however, here mainly consider their numeral value, and after a long and careful in vestigation, in which I have fully weighed the views of THE PLAT0N1ST. Ellis, Deecke, Pauli, and Canon Taylor, I have come to the conclusion that the theory of the last named writer is undoubtedly correct, i. e. that , Gi= 2, Zab= 3 , Sa= 4, Qu= 5 , a n d hu6=6: Pauli has proved be yond a doubt, as Sayce agrees, that these numerals are not Aryan (Indo-European), as Deecke would fain make out; Taylor has rightly connected them with the Tur anian languages of Northern Europe and Asia, and therefore we have only to go forward on the lines laid down in these Etruscan Notes, Part I (vide The Jan.
