隋代《区宇图志》的编纂问题——兼论隋炀帝对地理学的贡献

隋炀帝大业年间编纂了《诸郡物产土俗记》、《区宇图志》、《诸州图经集》3部大型地理图书。前后参与其事的编纂《区宇图志》者近50人,现在可考者约10人。隋炀帝时,《区宇图志》多次重修,其原因有三方面。一是修撰者的文体繁复,二是体例失当,三是修撰者狭隘的民族观、区域观念。而隋炀帝时编纂多种地理图书的条件之一,是隋朝对全国各地吏治、民情、风俗、物产的调查。其直接原因,则是隋炀帝的文化素养,以及实际的经济和政治目的,即地理图书作为国家征收赋税土贡的根据,以地理图书来记载其统一华戎的功业、以地理图书归美隋炀帝的政治目的。隋炀帝对地理学有其贡献。     

钱谦益瞿式耜师弟关系考辩

钱谦益与瞿式耜这两位人物,一位是大节有亏的文坛盟主,一位是节义薄天的孤忠大臣。然而,就是这样在明末清初出处抉择迥异的两个人,却是情意深厚的师弟。他们四十多年间忧戚与共,是师弟,亦是挚友。乙酉之后两人在政治上虽然选择殊异,但并没有影响到他们的互通声气与彼此间的思慕。虽然瞿式耜在想到自己的这位恩师时也产生过矛盾痛苦的情怀,但他还是以“到头终不负门墙”自励,义无反顾地走向了自己生命的终点。     

Archaeobotany,vine growing and wine producing in Roman Southern France: the site of Gasquinoy (Béziers,Hérault)

Unequivocal evidence of Roman vine cultivation and wine making is provided from studies of combined archaeological remains from the site of Gasquinoy (Southern France). Waterlogged and charred plant material (fruits/seeds/wood) collected from wells located in the close vicinity of cultivated fields and wine making establishments confirms the local significance of this activity. The results offer insights on particular aspects of wine production (‘traumatic’ treading of grapes and straining) and provide evidence of secondary agricultural activities such as cereal production and fruit tree cultivation. The potential use of monocotyledonous stems such as Arundo/Phragmites in the farming system is discussed.

First evidence of white wine in ancient Egypt from Tutankhamun's tomb

Wine has been considered to be mainly red in ancient Egypt linked with the blood of Osiris, the God of resurrection. No text that refers to white wines from the Dynastic Period (3150–332 BC) exists. The first white wine from ancient Egypt was made near Alexandria during the third century AD. To investigate the presence of white wine in ancient Egypt, dry residue samples from King Tutankhamun's amphorae are studied in this article using the LC/MS/MS method for wine markers. This investigation into the existence of white wines in Tutankhamun's tomb allows us to shed new light on the symbolism of white wine in ancient Egypt.

New investigations into the Uluburun resin cargo

Resin found within Canaanite amphorae from the Late Bronze Age shipwreck discovered off the coast of southwest Turkey at Uluburun has previously been identified as Pistacia sp. Although evidence from Egypt suggests that this resin was in high demand and typically transported in such amphorae, it has also been proposed that the amphorae contained wine, with the resin used to seal the interior surfaces and to flavour and/or preserve the wine. To attempt to resolve this question, we have analysed five samples of pistacia resin found in amphorae from the shipwreck using a range of analytical techniques which have used in the past for the analysis of wine residues: spot tests, FT-IR, and HPLC-MS-MS. As well as the archaeological samples, we have analysed modern samples of pistacia resin, leaves and fruit to determine the effectiveness of each technique and to exclude the possibility of false positive results. In addition to the analyses for wine we also detail analysis (GC-MS) of the terpenoids for the purpose of further molecular characterisation of the resin. Bulk stable isotope analysis was used in comparison with similar resins to attempt to identify the geographical origin of the resin.     

A Sogdian Drinking Game at Panjikent

This article reconsiders the religio-ritualistic interpretations of the use of the rhyton within eighth-century CE Sogdiana. Through a close art-historical analysis, it argues that three eighth-century wall paintings from Panjikent illustrate a drinking game. This proposal expands the current breadth of meaning attributed to the imagery decorating Sogdian homes. Not only could the paintings illustrate epic narratives, religious veneration, or moral didacticism, but they could also celebrate conviviality, fun, and humor.
