By way of a notice to the inscriptiones-l discussion list, Jose d'Encarnação has alerted us to the publication of volume 10 of the serial Hispania Epigraphica. I have taken the liberty of translating his entire announcement here:
The Epigraphic Archive of Hispania (Archivo Epigráfico de Hispania) at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid announces the publication of volume 10 (2000) of the journal Hispania Epigraphica, prepared with the collaboration of various Spanish and Portuguese scholars.
The current volume includes references to inscriptions that were published mainly during the year 2000, although some publications are included up through the year 2003. In total, 753 entries are presented, corresponding to the palaeohispanic, Latin, Greek, Christian and Visigoth inscriptions that appear to derive from this provenance (708 from Spain and 44 from Portugal); many of these have been re-edited with commentary, corrections of readings and the latest bibliographic citations. Within this body of material one finds: the Antiquities Collection of the Spanish Royal Academy of History, Burgos, Salamanca, Zamora, Celti, Belorado and one of the Visigoth “pizarras”. Although it does not, in of itself, constitute a corpus, this volume includes all the inscriptions, published up till now in different articles, proceeding from the excavations of Segobriga, emphasizing the inscription of a scribe of Augustus. One could also highlight — among many others — the Sevillan inscription to Venus Genetrix Augusta, the inscription of the devout Thecia of Tarraconsensis, the imperial inscription of Calahorra, three tabellae defixionum (curse tablets) of Saguntum, and the rupestral inscription of Nespereira. As usual, a detailed index is included (some 68 pages), which permits rapid and complete searches. In this case, the volume begins with a prologue prepared by Prof. J. d’Encarnaçao.
The address of the Epigraphic Archive of Hispania is: Escuela Universitaria de Estadística, Avda. Puerta de Hierro s/n, Ciudad Universitara.28040 Madrid.
Our files (which include exhaustive information on the ca. 24,000 inscriptions of Hispania) are open to all types of scholars and students. All these files are being incorporated into a large database; a sample of this can now be seen on our web page: www.ucm.es/info/archiepi.
