Abstract This study examines the gallery project in the Hall of Kings at the Alcazar of Segovia, constructed by Enrique IV of Castile around 1458-1466, from the point of view of an understanding of ...royal iconography and the composition of the inscriptions that accompanied them. To achieve this, our starting point will be the testimonies that reproduced the inscriptions of the original project: the Memorial que se sacó del Alcaçar de Segobia, de la sala de los Reyes (1588) (Report Copied from the Hall of Kings at the Alcazar of Segovia) by Juan Fernandez de Contreras, governor of the Alcazar, and De las estatuas antiguas (Of Ancient Statues) (1590) by Diego de Villalta. The work will enable us to highlight the close contact that the gallery had with the combination of chronicles, the complementary role that text and image had in the concept of the project and its role in communicating a set of historical images which stressed the link between the Castilian monarchy and the Visigothic kings. Para ello, partiremos de los testimonios escritos que reproducen las cartelas del primitivo proyecto: el Memorial que se sacó del Alcaçar de Segobia, de la sala de los Reyes (1588)7, realizado por Juan Fernández de Contreras († 1608), alcaide del alcázar, quien se encargó de remitir una copia de las inscripciones a la catedral de Santiago de Compostela por carta fechada el 17 de julio de 1588s, en el marco del acopio de materiales que la Iglesia de Santiago realizó con el fin de defender el cobro del Voto de Santiago, dentro del conocido como Pleito grande; y el tratado De las estatuas antiguas (1590) del cronista y anticuario Diego de Villalta, conservado en sendas copias manuscritas en la British Library (Londres)9 y en la Fundación Lázaro Galdiano (Madrid)10. La serie estaría así diseñada probablemente para ser vista desde el acceso a la sala de Reyes a través de la sala de las Pinas y del actual patio del Reloj, que ofrecía una perspectiva que, en ambos casos, dejaría la efigie de Enrique IV a la derecha del espectador, posición que gozaba de una especial preeminencia en el período medieval19.

Este trabajo analiza de forma pormenorizada CIL II, 865, una inscripción cuyo origen ha situado la tradición epigráfica en Irueña (Fuenteguinaldo, Salamanca). Esta adscripción ha servido de base para ...la atribución a ese mismo yacimiento de otros epígrafes que carecen de contexto arqueológico, una teoría que cuestiona este trabajo. Pero el interés principal de esta pieza se encuentra en sus características formales, que permiten identificarla como un friso epigráfico asociado a un monumento funerario, dos elementos ausentes hasta la fecha en esta parte del territorio vetón.
En bastantes casos se trata de proyectos de enorme magnitud que requieren de un marco temporal mucho mayor de lo habitualmente contemplado en las convocatorias de investigación. Silvia Orlandi, no ...solamente discípula de Panciera sino también una de las personas que más ha trabajado por materializar su idea de recopilaciones epigráficas digitales abiertas, escribe precisamente sobre la iniciativa EAGLE, las bases de datos epigráficas asociadas (EDCS, EDH, EDR, EDB e HEpOl) y los problemas a los que se han enfrentado en los últimos años, resueltos con desigual suerte (pp. 1-8). Un problema de gran importancia de estas iniciativas, y que suele pasar desapercibido para la mayor parte de usuarios, es la dificultad para exportar la información a otras bases de datos. En ese sentido, es destacable el proyecto FAIR, acrónimo de Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable, coordinado por Jonathan Prag y Marietta Horster, que busca extender esos principios FAIR a las bases de datos epigráficas.
Cet article traite de l’usage existentiel du verbe de perception voir. Nous montrons sous quelles conditions ce verbe peut être utilisé dans des énoncés thétiques pour exprimer l’existence (comme ...dans
on voit des trèfles à quatre feuilles
). La lecture existentielle de
voir
est conditionnée par la présence d’un ensemble de propriétés définitoires des constructions existentielles (sujet non référentiel, indéfinitude de l’objet, ancrage locatif). Nous mettons en évidence que pour satisfaire ces propriétés, les caractéristiques transitives de voir doivent être fortement affaiblies, tout particulièrement au niveau du sujet. Nous examinons dans quels contextes des commutations entre
il y a et on voit
sont possibles, et quel est l’apport spécifique, irréductible lié à l’usage de
voir
. Cette spécificité tient au fait que
voir
implique un actant sujet (le voyeur) qui, même réduit à un indéfini générique ou effacé dans une forme passive, persiste à divers degrés. Nous proposons d’expliquer certaines différences subtiles entre
il y a et voir
par cette inscription, même minimale, d’un observateur en lien avec l’assertion de l’existence ou de la présence d’une entité.
On the existential use of perception verbs.
This article deals with the existential use of the French verb
voir
(‘see’). We show how this verb can be used in thetic statements to express existence (as in
on voit des trèfles à quatre feuilles
(lit..‘one sees four-leaf clovers’). The existential reading of
voir
is conditioned by the presence of a set of defining properties of existential constructions (non-referential subject, indefiniteness of the object, locative anchoring). We show that in order to satisfy these properties, the transitive features of voir must be strongly weakened, especially concerning the subject. We examine in which contexts commutations between
il y a
(‘there is’) and
on voit
(‘one sees’) are possible, and what is the specific, irreducible contribution of
voir
. This specificity is due to the fact that
voir
implies a subject argument (the seer) which, even when reduced to a generic indefinite or erased in a passive form, persists to varying degrees. We propose to explain some subtle differences between
il y a
and
on voit
by the minimal inscription of an observer in connection with the assertion of the existence or presence of an entity.
In Voices on Birchbark Jos Schaeken explores the major role that writing on birchbark - an ephemeral, even 'throw-away' form of correspondence and administration - played in the vibrant medieval ...merchant city of Novgorod and other cities in the Russian Northwest.
Introduction. The process of Christianization of the Lazica, poorly presented in written sources, received an important source in the recently found inscriptions from the Machkhomeri fortress near ...Khobi. Analysis. The inscriptions were discovered during the excavations of a three-nave basilica, built in the 6th c. by a certain Gorgonios in honour of Holy Forty Martyrs of Sebaste. The next benefactor of the church was a certain Theonas, his wife and family. In the northern part of the basilica, there were also found fragments of two inscriptions, which contain the list of benefactors with their synodiai. The dedicants of the inscriptions were among others the carpenters/ builders of the church and their colleagues, who probably also formed a synodia. Results. Thus, we see in the 6th-c. Lazica a rare kind of religious community around a mighty person or institution – a synodia consisting mainly of lay people. The competition for the right to own objects inside the Machkhomeri Basilica shows that this church was the centre of attraction and pilgrimage in the region, perhaps thanks to the relics of the Martyrs of Sebaste.
Architectural inscriptions are a fascinating aspect of Islamic cultural heritage because of their rich and diverse historical contents and artistic merits. These inscriptions help us understand the ...advent of Islam and its gradual diffusion in Bengal, which eventually resulted in a Muslim majority region, making the Bengali Muslims the second largest linguistic group in the Islamic world.
This book is an interpretive study of the Arabic and Persian epigraphic texts of Bengal in the wider context of a rich epigraphic tradition in the Islamic world. While focusing on previously untapped sources, it takes a fresh look into the Islamic inscriptions of Bengal and examines the inner dynamics of the social, intellectual and religious transformations of this eastern region of South Asia. It explores many new inscriptions including Persian epigraphs that appeared immediately after the Muslim conquest of Bengal indicating an early introduction of Persian language in the region through a cultural interaction with Khurasan and Central Asia. In addition to deciphering and editing the epigraphic texts, the information derived from them has been analyzed to construct the political, administrative, social, religious and cultural scenario of the period.
The first survey of the Muslim inscriptions in India ever to be attempted on this scale, the book reveals the significance of epigraphy as a source for Islamic history and culture. As such, it will be of interest to students and scholars of Asian Studies, Asian History and Islamic Studies.
