The Homer Multitext blog is an appropriate forum to announce a new project growing directly out of experience with the Homer Multitext project, and developing technology that will contribute directly to future work on the HMT project.
For almost three years, the HMT project has been collecting in structured notebooks paleographic observations about the manuscripts we are editing. With the announcement of the Open Paleography project, we aim to expand this work to a general crowd-sourced collection of paleographic observations.
The Open Paleography project differs from other projects with similar aims in its application of the CITE architecture. Paleographic observations identify a physical artifact, a textual passage, and a region of interest on a documentary image using technology-independent, machine-actionable URNs. In turn, each observation itself is identified with a CITE URN. The openly licensed data set is exposed to the software and end-users in the following ways:The Open Paleography project is currently testing and helping develop two generic applications that work with any CITE Collection. The first is a collaborative CITE Collection editor allowing authorized contributors to add to a CITE Collection from a Web browser. The second is a general querying and viewing application for end users. Both of these applications will find immediate application in the HMT project.
- because all the data sets are CITE Collections, they are available through the CITE Collections Service API
- because data are stored in Google Fusion Tables, they are available both through Google's programmatic API and through the user interfaces to Google Fusion Tables

Knowledge and Power in the Neo-Assyrian Empire
Knowledge and Power is a component of The Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus (ORACC)
Knowledge and Power in the Neo-Assyrian Empire
In the seventh century BC the Assyrian monarch was the most powerful human being in the whole Middle East. Hundreds of letters, queries and reports survive from Neo-Assyrian capital of Nineveh PGP in northern Iraq. They show scholars advising the Assyrian royal family on matters ominous, astrological and medical, often with direct impact on political affairs. Along with court poetry and royal prophecies, they give an extraordinary vivid insight into the actual practice of scholarship in the context of the first well-documented courtly patronage of scientific activity in world history.

The Oxford Facsimiles of the Herculaneum Papyri
To contact us Click HERE
P.Herc. Image Database
The Oxford Facsimiles of the Herculaneum Papyri: an indexed database of images These facsimiles (disegni) were made when the rolls were first opened. Most of the work was carried out at Portici near Naples from 1802 to 1806 under the direction of the Rev. John Hayter and at the expense of the Prince of Wales (later George IV). In many places the drawings preserve text no longer present in the original papyri: fragments of papyrus that had become stuck to a lower layer during the unrolling process (sovrapposti) were scraped off and thus destroyed after they had been drawn, in order to reveal the letters underneath. Such fragments, and others lost through subsequent damage to the originals, are known only from these drawings. This set of disegni is kept in the Bodleian Library (see Copyright Statement). The drawings are bound in seven volumes (MS. Gr. class. c. 1-7). The leaves are numbered consecutively in a single series. In some cases, alternative numerations exist: for much of volume 1 (after fol. 71), the numbers given in pencil at the top right of each leaf and taken over in the descriptions given by the Library on the images themselves are lower by one than the numbers in general use. [This description from the Friends of Herculaneum Society website]Click here for a list of the editions referred to in the database, arranged by papyrus number. A general bibliography arranged thematically, The Books from Herculaneum, is also available on the Friends of Herculaneum Society website.
