Corpus Inscriptionum Etruscarum
The Corpus Inscriptionum Etruscarum (abbreviation: CIE ) is a collection of ancient Etruscan inscriptions . The CIE was founded with the aim of systematically recording all existing Etruscan inscriptions and making them accessible for research into the Etruscan language .
The Etruscan language is not related to any of the great language families and for a long time was not considered translatable. Instead of language-comparing methods for translation, the philological-historical method, which compared well-known inscriptions on graves, urns and grave goods with religious formulas in neighboring languages and thus determined words, was used for translation. A collection of the inscriptions had become necessary as a basis for this method.
The initiator of this project was the philologist and Etruscanologist Carl Pauli . From 1885 (other information: 1890) he followed the systematic collection of Etruscan inscriptions. The CIE itself was founded in 1893 with the help of the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin. As a result, the CIE was worked on by various international researchers, including the co-editor of the first publications of the CIE, the Swede Olof August Danielsson from Uppsala University and the German linguist Gustav Herbig (1868–1925), who later also worked on publications of the CIE was involved with Danielsson. After Danielsson's death in 1933, work at the CIE was initially discontinued.
After the Second World War , the project became the successor organization of the Prussian Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Sciences of the GDR , and was assigned to the Central Institute for Ancient History and Archeology and, in 1955, to the newly created Institute for Greco-Roman Archeology . There projects that had not been processed for a long time - such as the CIE - were not taken up again.
Since 1970 the work has been continued by Italian researchers under the editorship of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche .
