M Apr 21
A special assignment. There are three parts, none onerous, but all important for our visit to the Rubenstein on Monday.
-
(1)Register at the Rubenstein on-line. Follow this link to register.
-
(2)Download this document: Cribiore_Ductus.pdf This shows how Greek schoolchildren were taught to make Greek letters. Get out a piece of paper and practice writing each form of each letter at least thrice, using the numbers and arrows as your guide to the sequence and strokes. (This is known as the ductus of the letters. Most letters have two or three ductus.) Scribes of course do things more prettily, but their letters are based on these schoolroom exercises.
-
(3)Schedule time to go to the Rubenstein on Thursday, Friday, or Monday morning. (If everyone chooses Monday, you will have a hard time seeing the item, since everyone else will be there.) Note that the Rubenstein is not open nights or weekends. Spend 30 minutes (at least) studying the item on reserve, which is p.Duk.inv. 232. The item is a wooden board with writing. Transcribe onto paper at least part of what you can read, and think about what this tells you about the function and context of the artefact. This is a kind of riddle, so think (as well as look) hard. You can consult any resource EXCEPT the catalogue and publication for this inventory item; and it’s perfectly okay to discuss among yourselves. You will hand in the alphabet from #2 and the transcription from #3.
CLASS: WE WILL MEET in the Rubenstein, classroom 311, on the 3rd floor of Perkins: take the staircase or elevator nearest to Bostock. (You cannot get to this part of the 3rd floor by taking the staircase near the circulation desk.)
