    RESEARCH REPORt 2010—2012 MAX-PLANCK-INSTITUT FÜR WISSENSCHAFTSGESCHICHTE Max Planck Institute for the History of Science Cover: Aurora borealis paintings by William Crowder, National Geographic (1947). The International Geophysical Year (1957–8) transformed research on the aurora, one of nature’s most elusive and intensely beautiful phenomena. Aurorae became the center of interest for the big science of powerful rockets, complex satellites and large group efforts to understand the magnetic and charged particle environment of the earth. The auroral visoplot displayed here provided guidance for recording observations in a standardized form, translating the sublime aesthetics of pictorial depictions of aurorae into the mechanical aesthetics of numbers and symbols. Most of the portait photographs were taken by Skúli Sigurdsson RESEARCH REPORT 2010—2012 MAX-PLANCK-INSTITUT FÜR WISSENSCHAFTSGESCHICHTE Max Planck Institute for the History of Science Introduction The Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) is made up of three Departments, each administered by a Director, and several Independent Research Groups, each led for five years by an outstanding junior scholar. Since its foundation in 1994 the MPIWG has investigated fundamental questions of the history of knowl- edge from the Neolithic to the present. The focus has been on the history of the natu- ral sciences, but recent projects have also integrated the history of technology and the history of the human sciences into a more panoramic view of the history of knowl- edge. Of central interest is the emergence of basic categories of scientific thinking and practice as well as their transformation over time: examples include experiment, ob- servation, normalcy, space, evidence, biodiversity or force.

  • Budapest Report on Chris Ian Persecution 2018
    “ e Budapest Report, presenting the situation of persecuted Christian communities in the world is published in 2018 for the second time. e Hungarian Government initiated the publication of a summary report in 2017 with the aim of familiarizing the Hungarian general and scienti c community with the traditions, life and prospects of speci c Christian communities in a credible manner every year. e report was also published in English last year making it accessible for the international community as well. […] e publication does not simply provide comprehensive information on persecuted Christians, but it also aims at promoting solidarity and assistance to persecuted communities.” Budapest Report on Cardinal Péter Erdő the Primate of Hungary, Archbishop of Esztergom–Budapest Chris ian Persecution “ e foundations of our program are common sense and social 2018 solidarity […] In the near future, our intent is to make more people realize: the transformation of the faulty Western aspect and the stability of the crisis regions may bring about change in the protection of the persecuted Christians and all communities living in the a ected countries. Our cause, in which we can also count on the help of the Visegrád countries, is a noble one. […] I wish that reports on persecuted Christians would become redundant as soon as possible, in which respect we have a lot to do together. I trust that this book will make benevolent people act, so that the peace we have promised may come true.” Zsolt Semjén 2018 ON CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION REPORT BUDAPEST Deputy

(Papa Francesco, lettera a Vladimir Putin in occasione del Vertice del G20 di San Pietroburgo, 4 settembre 2013) It is regrettable that, from the very beginning of the conflict in Syria – he affirmed in his letter to Vladimir Putin, the rotating president of the G20 – one-sided interests have prevailed and in fact hindered the search for a solution that would have avoided the senseless massacre now unfolding.

  • Ebla's Hegemony and Its Impact on the Archaeology of the Amuq Plain
    Ebla’s Hegemony and Its Impact on the Archaeology of the Amuq Plain in the Third Millennium BCE by Steven Edwards A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto © Copyright by Steven Edwards, 2019 Ebla’s Hegemony and Its Impact on the Archaeology of the Amuq Plain in the Third Millennium BCE Steven Edwards Doctor of Philosophy Department of Near and Middle Eastern Studies University of Toronto 2019 Abstract This dissertation investigates the emergence of Ebla as a regional state in northwest Syria during the Early Bronze Age and provides a characterization of Ebla that emphasizes its hegemonic rather than imperial features. The texts recovered from the Royal Palace G archives reveal that Ebla expanded from a small Ciseuphratean kingdom into a major regional power in Upper Mesopotamia over the course of just four or five decades. To consolidate and maintain its rapidly growing periphery, Ebla engaged in intensive diplomatic relations with an array of client states, semi-autonomous polities, and independent kingdoms. Often, political goals were achieved through mutual gift-exchange and interdynastic marriage, but military activity became increasingly common towards the end of the period covered by the texts. However, apart from installing palace officials at some cities, Ebla did not appear to have invested heavily in building infrastructure, such as roads or forts, along its periphery, preferring instead to leave matters of defense up to client and allied states. As a result, the archaeological impact of Ebla’s political hegemony along parts of its periphery was minimal.

  • The River Qoueiq and Its Importance for Ebla (Syria) at the Time of the Archives (Xxiv Cent
    THE RIVER QOUEIQ AND ITS IMPORTANCE FOR EBLA (SYRIA) AT THE TIME OF THE ARCHIVES (XXIV CENT. BC): SOME OBSERVATION Maria Giovanna Biga-Ahmad Karbotly (Sapienza Università di Roma) ABSTRACT The river Qoueiq (which flows close to the big city of Aleppo) has been important in the history of Syria already in the third millennium BC. Along its valley there are many tells, studied mostly in surveys from the 1970s; some of them are certainly to be dated to the third millennium BC and their name could be present in the Ebla texts. They are not yet identified with ancient cities. Tell Tuqan, on the lake Matkh in which the river disappears, or Tell Hader in the river valley, can likely be identified with NIrar of the Ebla texts. KEY WORDS: River Qoueiq, surveys, lake Matkh, Tell Tuqan, Tell Hader, kingdom of NIrar. RIASSUNTO Il fiume Qoueiq (che scorre presso la città di Aleppo) è stato importante anche nella storia della Siria del III millennio a.C. Nella sua valle ci sono molti tell, studiati per lo più in surveys a partire dagli anni ‘70. Alcuni di loro sono certamente da datare al III millennio a.C., ma non è possibile identificarli con toponimi menzionati nei testi di Ebla. Tell Tuqan, sul lago Matkh nel quale il fiume si getta, o Tell Hader possono essere identificati tentativamente con la città di NIrar dei testi di Ebla. PAROLE CHIAVE Fiume Qoueiq, surveys, lago Matkh, Tell Tuqan, Tell Hader, regno di NIrar. 1. Introduction The capital city of Ebla (modern Tell Mardikh, Syria, around 60 kms South West of Aleppo) was in internal Syria and not on a river or on a lake.
