Activities in the Masjed-e Jom‘e, Isfahan
No full textLocated in the historic centre of Esfahan, the Masjed-e Jom̒e
(‘Friday Mosque’) can be seen as a stunning illustration of the evolution
of mosque architecture over twelve centuries, starting in 841 CE,
and now is one of the major Iranian sites inscribed on UNESCO World
Heritage List. The Italian restoration activities carried out in Esfahan during the
1970s were planned and organised in collaboration with the Service
for the Restoration and Preservation of the Historical Monuments of
Iran (now Iranian Cultural Handicraft and Tourism Heritage Organisation)
(ICHTHO) and the Istituto Italiano per il Medio ed Estremo
Oriente (IsMEO, afterwards IsIAO). The restoration activities headed
by Arch. Prof. Eugenio Galdieri and the excavation activities headed
by Prof. Umberto Scerrato in the Friday Mosque were aimed in particular
at identifying the earlier constructional phases of the building:
amongst them the Abbasid, Buyid and Saljuq.
Historical circumstances did not allow for long time (1979-1998)
any Italian team to continue working at Esfahan. Only between 1999
and 2002 an Italian IsIAO team, under the invitation of ICHO (now
ICHTHO) and with the direction of the late Prof. U. Scerrato went
back to Esfahan, starting again the work in the Mosque jointly with
the Iranian colleagues. Many years after the end of the actual excavations, a joint Iranian-
Italian Project named ADAMJI (A.rchaeological D.igital
A.rchive M.asjed-e J.om̒e I.sfahan) has been aimed at providing a
gradual transformation of the whole set of original data and information
(written, graphic, photographic etc.) in a digital archive. The Italian/
Iranian Project jointly coordinated and directed from the Iranian
side by Dr. Faribah Saeidi Anaraki and from the Italian side by Prof.
Bruno Genito, started in 2003 and ended in 2010

B.V. Andrianov, Ancient lrrigation Systems of The Aral Sea Area (B. Genito)
No full textThe volume (edited by Simone Mantellini) reviewed is a criticai re-edition and translation into English of Drevnie orositelnye sistemy priaralya v sviazi s istoriey vozniknoveniya i razvitiiya oroshaemogo zemledeliya published in 1969 in Moscow. The translation by Gian Luca Bonora and Giò Morse, has been funded by the Segretariato Europeo per le Pubblicazioni Scientifiche, Bologna. The effort made by Simone Mantellini is one that deserves special applause, not least because of the importance already gained by A.'s volume, and the indispensability of its translation into an accessible language, above all. Placing the book in an up-to-date methodological perspective through essays of high specialist content by outstanding scholars gives the reader the sensation of being confronted by a completely new book

I Greci in Tebaide
No full textDal mito alla frequentazione storica, la presenza di Greci e Macedoni in Tebaide è sempre stata segnata da una fascinazione irresistibile, ma anche da una reciproca ostilità latente. Si ripercorrono perciò alcune tappe particolarmente significative caratterizzate soprattutto, ma non solo, da documenti epigrafici e papiracei che mostrano le modalità di insediamento e radicamento dei Greci in questa regione egiziana tanto lontana dal Mediterraneo, dal tracciato di strade alla fondazione di città, dalla penetrazione della lingua alla costituzione dei veri e propri piccoli centri culturali, attraverso il superamento di conflitti e la creazione di originali percorsi paralleli delle due civiltà
