Book excerpt: "With this book, dealing with the Zagreb 'Liber Linteus' (formerly known as Agramer Mumienbinde), the longest extant Etruscan text, the author further strengthens his case that Etruscan is basically a colonial dialect influence from Greek, Latin and the other Italic idioms mainly in its vocabulary. The text of the 'Liber Linteus' is shown to be liturgical in character, several of the divinities featuring in it and much of the cult vocabulary being paralleled in the context of the Anatolian Indo-European languages. "Finally, there can be no doubt that Etruscan just like Luwian hieroglyphic, is an Indo-European language of the "entum"--Type" (p.161). The book provides full translation and commentary of the text, in addition grammatical and etymological indexes and a complete word index."

Excerpt: ...the 'conductor' or 'colonus, ' who paid rent for it, partly in kind and partly in money, or wholly in kind or wholly in money, as might be agreed upon. In course of time, and under the influence of the Prffitors, the practice grew up of presuming a sort of subordinate property in the land, described by a Greek word as 'emphyteusis, ' in favour of the tenant, who was thus placed upon a footing in relation to the landlord of very considerable independence. By this custom, gradually consolidating into law, the tenant acquired at last a perpetual right in the possession or usufruct of the land under the Dominus, conditional on fulfilling the obligations of Conte Giancarlo Conestabile's Monumenti di Perugia, Etrusci e Romani, parte IVta, p. 4. the contract. This right was transmissible to his descendants, and by ordinary law the 'conductor' could transfer or assign the 'possessio' to a third party on a fine to the Dominus, the Dominus having no power of eviction unless the tenant injured the property, failed in payment of rent, alienated without giving due notice, or otherwise infringed the conditions of tenure. Of course, such rights could be limited by private arrangement. The 'Lar, ' 'Dominus, ' or Superior in the case before us was, if I read it rightly, a lady of the name of 1 Aphuna, ' or in Latin form, ' Aponia, ' and the ground leased is described as the ' Salic' or Dominical land, --land originally wild and uncultivated, but which had been (as in other cases) newly fenced in (so I presume) for cultivation, and which was now made over to the 'conductor'--by name ' Lautn Velthina, ' or 'Lautinius Veltinius'--with the reservation of feudal rights to the proprietor. I use the word 'feudal' advisedly; for I think there can be little doubt
Download or read book Etruscan Roman Remains in Popular Tradition written by Charles Godfrey Leland and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 1892-01-01 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THERE is in Northern Italy a mountain district known as La Romagna Toscana, the inhabitants of which speak a rude form of the Bolognese dialect. These Romagnoli are manifestly a very ancient race, and appear to have preserved traditions and observances little changed from an incredibly early time. It has been a question of late years whether the Bolognese are of Etrurian origin, and it seems to have been generally decided that they are not. With this I have nothing whatever to do. They were probably there before the Etruscans. But the latter at one time held all Italy, and it is very likely that they left in remote districts those traces of their culture to which this book refers. The name Romagna is applied to their district because it once formed part of the Papal or Roman dominion, and it is not to be confounded with La Romagna proper. Roughly speaking, the region to which I refer may be described as lying between Forli and Ravenna. Among these people, stregeria, or witchcraft--or, as I have heard it called, "la vecchia religione" (or "the old religion")--exists to a degree which would even astonish many Italians. This stregeria, or old religion, is something more than a sorcery, and something less than a faith. It consists in remains of a mythology of spirits, the principal of whom preserve the names and attributes of the old Etruscan gods, such as Tinia, or Jupiter, Faflon, or Bacchus, and Teramo (in Etruscan Turms), or Mercury. With these there still exist, in a few memories, the most ancient Roman rural deities, such as Silvanus, Palus, Pan, and the Fauns. To all of these invocations or prayers in rude metrical form are still addressed, or are at least preserved, and there are many stories current regarding them. All of these names, with their attributes, descriptions of spirits or gods, invocations and legends, will be found in this work.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mystery of what language Etruscan originated from is solved in the translation of five texts. Etruscan is revealed to be an early Gothic language, a partial forerunner of English through the language of the Jutes. A recipe and text containing genealogical information might be of particular interest to readers. The longest text, which had been wrapped around a mummy, rather than being, as formerly thought, a ritual, recounts the process used to produce continuation of the personal living appearance, the aim of Egyptian mummification.

Excerpt: ... grains of rice or sesame or corn which she may encounter. So in the Arabian Nights the ghoul Amina must eat her rice grain by grain with a bodkin. In South Carolina, rice strewed in the form of a cross about a bed prevents a witch from getting at her victim, for she must remove it, grain and grain, ere she can reach him, nor must she shirk the task. And as I have elsewhere shown the erba Rosolaccio, or Rice of the Goddess of the Four Winds, is esteemed as a protective, because the witches cannot count its rice-like leaves, and so they get bewildered in them. This belief was carried to the extent of regarding corrugated and rugged surfaces of any kind as protecting from evil. Hence the stalagmite, or salagrana stone, is very popular against mahcchio, which means all inimical sorcery. I conjecture--for it is not as yet a matter of proof---that the Celtic peoples from the earliest times, in the East, during the migration of races, e.g., through DEGREES Hungary, and in Great Britain and Gaul, had the interlace and constantly used it. The Britons, generally, made gaily-painted baskets--bascaudce--which were sent to Rome. This suggests interlaces. The Irish monks and artisans developed these basket-patterns, manifestly using, as a more pliable suggestive, ribbons, ropes, or cords, as I have often done myself to make designs. I do not think it necessary to adopt the rather unpleasant idea set forth in a great book on needlework that the entrails of animals were thus used for models. A month's work of intelligent designing is worth all the theory in the world, and I no more believe that "insides" were employed to suggest motives than I do that earth-worms were taken for the same purpose, as was indeed once suggested to me by a certain wood-carver, who...
