Virtual Magic Bowl Archive
From Siam Bhayro [mailto:[log in to unmask]]:
===========================================
The Virtual Magic Bowl Archive now has a new home at the University of
Exeter:
<http://humanities.exeter.ac.uk/theology/research/projects/vmba/>.
The aim of the VMBA is to offer free access to essential resources relating
to the study of the Aramaic incantation bowls and related corpora.
Scholars can now browse through hundreds of photographs of the recently
published Aramaic incantation bowls at the following site, which has various
zoom and search tools:
<http://humanities-research.exeter.ac.uk/vmba/>.
More resources will be added (e.g. prosopography of the bowls,
bibliographies, photographs of other texts). At present, the archived
photographs relate to the sixty-four Jewish Aramaic bowls published in:
Shaul Shaked, James Nathan Ford, and Siam Bhayro, Aramaic Bowl Spells:
Jewish Babylonian Aramaic Bowls Volume One (Leiden: Brill, 2013).
We are grateful to Martin Schøyen and Matthew Morgenstern for their
permission to archive the photographs in this way.
