Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum

*** Work in progress! ***

Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum (TIR) is an FWF-funded research project (no. P 25495) conducted at the Department for Linguistics of the University of Vienna. Funding runs from 24^th June 2013 until 23^rd June 2016. The project staff are:

Stefan Schumacher (project director)
Martin Braun (system administrator)
Gudrun Bajc (project illustrator and photographer)
Sindy Kluge (research and data entry)
Corinna Salomon (research and data entry)

The aim of the project is a comprehensive collection, display and linguistic analysis of the Raetic inscriptions in the form of an online database of the MediaWiki type. The project therefore comprises the following tasks:

• Collecting all Raetic inscriptions hitherto known, including those of doubtful status.
• Examining the original inscriptions, and documenting them, including photos, drawings and photogrammetry.
• Collecting and examining the secondary literature concerning both the individual inscriptions, and Raetic language, script, archaeology, and history in general.
• Creating an online interactive database capable of displaying the inscriptions in an online corpus, with all aspects of the inscriptions (linguistic, archaeological, and graphematic data) documented exhaustively.

As of summer 2014, about a third of the inscriptions have been autopsied and entered into the database. Information on the Raetic script, language and Raetic archaeology is being added continuously in the form of pages for words, morphemes, phonemes and characters, and summary texts on relevant topics. For information on the structure of the database and help with navigating it, please consult this page.

Our project is a follow-up task to Lexicon Leponticum, and constitutes the next step towards a comprehensive online collection and edition of sources concerning the so-called North Italic alphabets. In the course of the project, the employment of free open-source software for the online presentation of scientific content in the humanities will be further improved and refined. The project aspires to set new standards in applying Web 2.0 tools within linguistic studies, and encourage the adoption of such collaboration and communication tools as MediaWiki for scientific purposes.
