    LOS MEDIOS DE TRANSMISIÓN DE INFORMACIÓN LA EPIGRAFÍA, DE CIENCIA AUXILIAR A CIENCIA HISTÓRICA La Epigrafía, de ciencia auxiliar a ciencia histórica 11 LOS MEDIOS DE TRANSMISIÓN DE INFORMACIÓN MANUEL RAMÍREZ SÁNCHEZ Resumen: La Epigrafía es una ciencia historiográfica indispensable en la formación de los historiadores que, desde hace siglos, forma parte de las mal denominadas “ciencias auxilia- res” de la Historia. En este trabajo se analiza el concepto de Epigrafía, el método epigráfico y el recorrido historiográfico que esta ciencia ha desarrollado a lo largo de la Historia, con el fin de aproximar al lector a los rudimentos de esta ciencia historiográfica, con especial refe- rencia a la labor investigadora que se ha desarrollado en España. El estudio finaliza con un acercamiento a la situación actual de la Epigrafía, no solo en la formación universitaria de las futuras generaciones de historiadores, sino en el análisis de las líneas de investigación y proyectos más importantes que están en curso en la actualidad. Palabras clave: Epigrafía, inscripciones, concepto, método, historiografía. Abstract: Epigraphy is an indispensable science in shaping historiography of historians for centuries, is part of the so-called "auxiliary sciences" of history. In this paper we explore the concept of Epigraphy, the epigraphic method and the historiographical development, to bring the rudiments of this science historiography, with special reference to the work research that has developed in Spain. The study concludes with an approach to the current state of Epigraphy, not only in university education of future generations of historians, but on the analysis of the research and major projects under way today.

  • The Antikythera Mechanism, Rhodes, and Epeiros
    The Antikythera Mechanism, Rhodes, and Epeiros Paul Iversen Introduction I am particularly honored to be asked to contribute to this Festschrift in honor of James Evans. For the last nine years I have been engaged in studying the Games Dial and the calendar on the Metonic Spiral of the Antikythera Mechanism,1 and in that time I have come to admire James’s willingness to look at all sides of the evidence, and the way in which he conducts his research in an atmosphere of collaborative and curious inquiry combined with mutual respect. It has long been suggested that the Antikythera Mechanism may have been built on the is- land of Rhodes,2 one of the few locations attested in ancient literary sources associated with the production of such celestial devices. This paper will strengthen the thesis of a Rhodian origin for the Mechanism by demonstrating that the as-of-2008-undeciphered set of games in Year 4 on the Games Dial were the Halieia of Rhodes, a relatively minor set of games that were, appro- priately for the Mechanism, in honor of the sun-god, Helios (spelled Halios by the Doric Greeks). This paper will also summarize an argument that the calendar on the Metonic Spiral cannot be that of Syracuse, and that it is, contrary to the assertions of a prominent scholar in Epirote stud- ies, consistent with the Epirote calendar. This, coupled with the appearance of the extremely minor Naan games on the Games Dial, suggests that the Mechanism also had some connection with Epeiros. The Games Dial and the Halieia of Rhodes The application in the fall of 2005 of micro-focus X-ray computed tomography on the 82 surviv- ing fragments of the Antikythera Mechanism led to the exciting discovery and subsequent publi- cation in 2008 of a dial on the Antikythera Mechanism listing various athletic games now known as the Olympiad Dial (but which I will call the Games or Halieiad Dial—more on that below), as well as a hitherto unknown Greek civil calendar on what is now called the Metonic Spiral.3 I begin with my own composite drawing of the Games Dial (Fig.

  • CLAS 600 Resources for Research in Greek History and Ancillary Disciplines
    CLAS 600 Resources for Research in Greek History and Ancillary Disciplines A comment on early Greek history: “[T]he scantiness of evidence sets a special challenge to the disciplined mind. It is a game with very few pieces, where the skill of the player lies in complicating the rules. The isolated and uneloquent fact must be exhibited within a tissue of hypothesis subtle enough to make it speak….” - Iris Murdoch, The Nice and the Good, Viking Press NY 1968: 176. Literary Sources: The Ancient Texts Selection of Greek (and Roman) Historians Following is a list of the most important historians for the study of Greek history. The list is by no means complete; in general it represents authors whose works survive in whole or in large part, and who are our chief source of evidence for significant periods of Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic history. Herodotos (Halikarnassos). Chief literary source for history of the 6th and early 5th centuries BCE, in particular the Persian Wars; also a significant source of connected narrative of the development of the Persian Empire. Thucydides (Athens). Unfinished. Chief literary source for history of 5th century BCE, from the period immediately after the Persian Wars until 411; specific focus the conflict between Athens and Sparta and their respective spheres of influence (the Peloponnesian War, 431-404 BCE). Xenophon (Athens). Various works, including treatises on hunting and economics, Socratic dialogues, and a largely fictional biography of Cyrus, the first king of Persia. Among his most significant historical writings are the Hellenica, a continuation of Thucydides (Greek history from 411 to 362 BCE), and the Anabasis, an account of a military expedition into the Persian interior at the end of the 5th century, an expedition in which Xenophon himself participated.

    NOTICES OF BOOKS 175 Gilioia. By FRANZ X. SCHAFFER. [141st Ergiinzungsheft zu Petermanns Mitteilungen.] Pp. 110. 2 maps, 5 figures. Gotha : Perthes, 1903. 12 m. Dr. Schaffer's exploration of Cilicia during the years 1900 and 1901 was made mainly in the interests of the natural sciences, especially geology. But he did not neglect archaeo- logy altogether, and contributed a paper to the Jahreshefte of the Vienna Arch. Inst. on the route taken by Cyrus' general Menon across Taurus. The substance of this he now includes in his general account of the whole region, and notices briefly other questions of ancient history and topography, e.g. the situation of Mallus and Mopsukrene ; the former navigability of the Cydnus ; and the passes across Taurus. He describes with some fulness the ruins of Tarsus, Anazarba, Elaeousa-Sebaste and Olba, and mentions in passing many minor monuments of the Greek, Roman, and Lesser Armenian periods.

In the Preface to thesecond edition of the indispensable Sylloge, the author promised a supplement containing a selection of Greek inscriptions of the East. The first volume of this Supplement now appears, two years only after the completion of the Sylloge. The book is arranged on the same plan ; the inscriptions themselves are not provided with descriptive titles, but reference is facilitated by headlines giving somewhat more detailed information. It is hardly necessary to speak of the high quality of the work, or to point out how convenient to the historian is the inclusion in one volume of new critical editions of monuments like the Canopus Decree, the Eosetta Stone, the Adule inscription, the Ilian law concerning tyrants, the Smyrna-Magnesia treaty, the dispute between Mytilene and Pitane, the Nemrud-Dagh inscriptions.

National Historical Museum, Athens) The most celebrated of the Greek scholars who worked in Italy was Cardinal BESSARION (1403-1472). An enthusiastic supporter of the union of the Eastern and Western Churches, he worked tirelessly to bring about the political and cultural conditions that would allow this to take place. He made a major contribution to the flowering of humanist studies in Italy and played a key role in gathering and preserving the ancient Greek, Byzantine and Latin cultural heritage By systematically collecting and copying manuscripts of rare literary and artistic value, frequently at great personal expense and sacrifice and with the help of various Greek refugee scholars and copyists (Conati autem sumus, quantum in nobis fuit, non tam multos quam optimos libros colligere, et sin- gulorum operum singula volumina, sicque cuncta fere sapien- tium graecorum opera, praesertim quae rara errant et inventu dif- ficilia, coegimus).
