Depuis un certain temps, à vrai dire, le progrès des connaissances, en ces domaines, laissait prévoir quelques changements2, mais pour le public, qui puise sa doctrine dans la rigidité des manuels, la surprise était d'importance, et le scandale, sans doute, fut complet. De quoi s'agissait- il? 1961-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/73262 1961-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/73260 En un artículo publicado en esta misma revista 1 presenté, más bien de pasada, la hipótesis de que en PY An607.3 e-qe-ta-i era un nom. pi. ère ka t, pese a la regla normal según la cual un diptongo final es representado en micènico por su primera vocal (-ai = -a). No era mucho el material que yo aducía entonces a favor de esta interpretación, que sin duda por ello no ha encontrado eco en la bibliografía posterior. Creo ahora, sin embargo, que dicho material puede ser aumentado muy notablemente, por lo que merece la pena volver a considerar esta posibilidad que, de ser acertada, tendría indudable trascendencia para la comprensión de numerosos textos micénicos. 1961-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/73258 The number of the Pylos oil tablets, poorly represented up to 1954, was considerably increased by the excavations of 1955. Almost all the tablets found in the palace of Nestor in 1955 and published by Emmett L. Bennett in his excellent edition The Olive Oil Tablets of Pylos, Suplementos a Minos Num. 2, Salamanca 1958. 1961-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/73256 Depuis la parution de notre chronique précédante (Minos, VI: 2, 1960, pp. 165-178) les études consacrées aux documents mycéniens ont témoigné d'un essor toujours plus grand. 1961-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/73254 Since the section on the geography and place names of the Pylos tablets in Documents (pp. 141-145) was written, a number of studies have been published dealing directly or incidentally with this subject. Our rapidly increasing understanding of the material situation reflected in the Pylos tablets makes it necessary to reconsider some of the fundamental assumptions. It is also now possible to use evidence of a different kind, the extensive archaeological researches of W. A. McDonald and R. Hope Simpson, which have revealed in detail the distribution of Mycenaean sites in the South-Western Peloponnese. 1961-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/73252 Cryptanalysis, as you all know, is the solving of secret writing without previous possession of the key. Basically it is a study of coincidences, an analysis of them, to eliminate those which are due to chance and to find the reason for those which are not due to chance. The most important part of the cryptanalyst's method, his standard operating procedure, is the tedious drudgery of counting frequencies and noting repetitions and coincidences. The most important weapon in his arsenal is ingenuity. His ammunition, which he uses without stint, is assumptions, which might perhaps be defined as educated guesses, were it not for the fact that for a cryptanalyst to use the word «guess» instead of «assumption» is to be drummed out of the fraternity. Of the latter the most important usually is the assumption of probable words. 1961-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/73251 It seems possible that the reporting of some hitherto unpublished and unnoticed elements of the text of the tablet An607 from Pylos might be helpful in the progress to a satisfactory interpretation. It is not that the text as printed either in PT I (as An42, p. 19) or in FT II (p. 127; drawing, p. 60) is incorrect. The tablet is complete and well-preserved, the handwriting is clear, and there are none of the rare and problematical signs which make some texts difficult. It is simply that the published text is incomplete. 1961-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/73250 El tema de las bases económico-jurídicas en la sociedad micènica ha sido objeto de estudios diversos, como consecuencia de la misma naturaleza administrativa de los documentos descubiertos \ En el mundo nuevo sobre el que las tablillas micénicas arrojan luz surgen muchos problemas: las comparaciones, ora con las antiguas sociedades de los indoeuropeos, ora con el feudalismo medieval, si por un lado nos ilustran sobre puntos oscuros, por otro nos exponen a analogías tal vez precipitadas. Finalidad del presente estudio es contribuir al esclarecimiento Ue un aspecto de la jerarquía del palacio de Pylos, precisamente el que se refiere a la organización de los servicios del mismo. 1961-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/73249 In an article which has recently appeared in Opuscula Atheniensia1 I publish twenty syllabic inscriptions of the kingdoms of Marium and Paphos, now in the custody of the Cyprus Museum either at Nicosia or in its local subsidiaries. Here I resume the task; and once more begin with Western Cyprus, to pass via the South coast round to the Central Plain. For some introductory observations on the epigraphy of these two kingdoms, I refer to that article. 1961-01-01T00:00:00Z
