Cretan Institutional Inscriptions Dataset

The database Cretan Institutional Inscriptions was created as part of the PhD research project in Ancient Heritage Studies Kretikai Politeiai: Cretan Institutions from VII to I century BC, carried out at the University of Venice Ca’ Foscari by Irene Vagionakis from 2016 to 2019, under the supervision of Claudia Antonetti and Gabriel Bodard. The research project aimed at collecting the epigraphic sources related to the institutional elements of the many political entities of Crete, with a view to highlighting the specificity of each context in the period between the rise of the poleis and the Roman conquest of the island.
The main component of the database consists of the epigraphic collection of the 600 inscriptions constituting the core of the documentary base of the study, for each of which an XML edition compliant with the TEI EpiDoc international standard was created. Each EpiDoc edition includes a descriptive and a bibliographic lemma, the text of the inscription, a selective apparatus criticus and a commentary focused on the institutional data offered by the document.
In addition to the epigraphic collection, the database includes a collection of the main related literary sources, a catalogue of the attested Cretan institutions (assemblies, boards, officials, associations, civic subdivisions, social statuses, age classes, months, festivities and other celebrations, institutional practices, institutional instruments, public spaces) and a catalogue of the political entities of Crete (poleis, koina, dependent communities, extra-urban sanctuaries, hegemonic alliances).

该数据库——克里特机构铭文（Cretan Institutional Inscriptions）——系威尼斯福斯卡里大学（University of Venice Ca’ Foscari）古代遗产研究（Ancient Heritage Studies）克雷提克艾政治体（Kretikai Politeiai）博士研究项目的重要组成部分，该项目由艾琳·瓦吉奥纳基斯（Irene Vagionakis）自2016年至2019年主持，并在克劳迪娅·安东内蒂（Claudia Antonetti）和加布里埃尔·博达德（Gabriel Bodard）的指导下进行。研究项目旨在搜集与克里特诸多政治实体机构要素相关的铭文资料，旨在凸显该时期从城邦兴起至罗马征服岛屿之间的各个语境之独特性。数据库的核心组成部分为600枚铭文构成的文献基础，每枚铭文均制作了符合TEI EpiDoc国际标准的XML版。每一EpiDoc版次均包括描述性及书目性词条、铭文文本、选择性校勘记和专注于文献所提供的机构数据的注释。除了铭文收藏外，数据库还包含主要的相关文献资料收藏、克里特机构（集会、委员会、官员、协会、市民区分、社会地位、年龄阶层、月份、节日及其他庆典、机构实践、机构工具、公共空间）目录以及克里特政治实体（城邦、共同体、附属社区、城外圣地、霸权联盟）目录。数据与软件资源可通过以下链接获取：https://github.com/IreneVagionakis/CretanInscriptions
