events the world of writing views the endangered writing network crews project research has had some unexpected outcomes of which one of the most exciting has been the development of the endangered writing network hosted through the new views project here the idea is that our research on pre modern writing traditions has some value for the modern world where thousands of languages are in danger of being lost and long with them many cultural traditions including writing systems there are also many minority and endangered languages that do not have an established written form of their own since writing has a unique ability to support language use by giving the language a visual presence and making it possible to produce educational materials and literature it is vital that we tackle the issue of writing vitality head on continue reading the endangered writing network june 20 2023 june 20 2023 viewsproject crews publications news and events crews volume reviews the crews project

in depth fonts in the epigraphic and manuscript traditions of roman antiquity guest post by olena mudalige hello i am olena mudalige i am a second year phd candidate at the kharkiv state academy of design and arts studying design i previously completed a master s degree studying art criticism and graphic practices and have qualified as an art critic and lecturer i have come to the uk under the homes for ukraine programme after leaving ukraine on february 24 2022 and have become affiliated with the crews project through the european research area for ukraine era4ukraine https euraxess ec europa eu ukraine scheme i m currently interested in the origins and early forms of writing and in the history of study of writing in the ancient world today i want to write a bit about different graphical traditions in roman writing the small number of surviving latin inscriptions is explained by the fact that they were applied to marble only in the second half of the 1st c bc prior to this inscriptions were applied to tuff and limestone which were prone to erosion from wind and rain inscriptions were erected on public buildings triumphal arches columns tombstones they were a reflection of the cultural aspects of the history of roman society and a means of public and solemn representation of the roman empire in a vast territory from the british isles to egypt from gibraltar to the deep regions of asia the widespread use of writing in ancient rome the high percentage of the population which was literate the growth of libraries the opening of enterprises for correspondence and distribution of books public readings all this contributed to the development of the art of beautiful writing and the emergence of the profession of font master continue reading fonts in the

26 2022 viewsproject the world of writing writing on hadrian s wall i m doing a charity walk to celebrate the 1 900th anniversary of hadrian s wall so during september i ll be trying to walk 84 miles the length of the wall but without actually visiting which also nicely avoids treading on all that archaeology so what better excuse for a post on writing and literacy in this northern outpost of the roman world first a note on my charity walk and then on to the inscriptions this is quite special to me because i grew up visiting hadrian s wall frequently but haven t been back since 2011 how is that over ten years ago so i ve got my pedometer and i ve measured my steps so that i can tell how far i ve gotten each day and even if it s a challenge because of some ongoing medical issues and not getting much of a chance to go walking i m determined to keep going partly that s because i m doing it for a charity i really believe in classics for all who aim to bring teaching on the ancient world to a much wider proportion of schoolchildren than currently have access to it you can find out more by clicking below and if you feel inclined to donate i know it will be much appreciated by me and by all the amazing people working for classics for all read more and consider donating here continue reading writing on hadrian s wall august 31 2022 september 26 2022 viewsproject epigraphy in action inscriptions in depth multilingual syro anatolian iron age inscriptions my research as a crews project visiting fellow guest post by claudia posani hello i am claudia posani and i am very glad to write an article for the crews blog i am interested in hittitology with a particular focus on syro anatolian iron age history and on hieroglyphic luwian inscriptions i spent two months as a visiting fellow with the crews project during may and june 2022 i worked on multilingual inscriptions of the so called neo hittite states around 11 th 8 th centuries bc these inscriptions include bilingual and also trilingual texts written on different supports such as statues steles and orthostats they belong to the textual category of royal inscriptions namely they express the voice of kings or rulers who speak in first person in the texts narrating their enterprises the main feature of these documents consists of offering the same text written in two or more languages the texts i was dealing with were written in hieroglyphic luwian phoenician aramaic and assyrian these different languages luwian belonging to the indo european the other to the semitic language family were written adopting different writing systems consequently we can read on the same support the same text written in hieroglyphic script cuneiform characters and alphabetic signs multilingualism in syro anatolian states is certainly connected to the historical background of these polities which were strongly characterised by mutual contacts and cultural hybridity nevertheless one point captured my interest could textual multilingualism multiscriptalism be connected to royal propaganda and to the intention of presenting a specific image of the king continue reading multilingual syro anatolian iron age inscriptions my
