| 2021 | Digging in the Archives. From the History of Oriental Studies to the History of Ideas Documenta Asiana Vol .11. Rome: Edizioni Quasar. |
Serving as a manifesto for the work program of a research project devoted to the .history of "Oriental" studies, the volume gathers contributions aimed at analyzing «the history of archaeological, philological and historical studies of the Ancient Near East and their reception in contemporary and modern society by establishing cross-cultural academic dialogue and international cooperation» (p.7). The emphasis is on the gathering of data and materials as found in the archives, including especially private documents (texts and images) that are otherwise often disregarded. Out of this can come a «synopticon of Oriental Studies» which has as its «ultimate destination» the pursuit of a history of ideas beyond the chosen discicplinary limits (p.8). |

Ongoing Research of the GRISSO Project in News from the Lands of the Hittites. |
The paper aims to present the first results of the research cluster “Reassessing the Legacy of Victorian Orientalists”, which is ongoing in the framework of the GRISSO project. It is devoted to the formative phase of the scientific study of the Ancient Near East in Britain during the reign of Queen Victoria, mainly focusing on the archaeologist and diplomat Austen Henry Layard (1817- 1894) and the clergyman and philologist Archibald Henry Sayce (1845-1933). The research, conducted by S. Ermidoro, S. Alaura and M. Bonechi, is based on entirely unpublished and, in some cases, hitherto unknown archival materials. [Author's abstract] |
