The Creation of Order »  Query: 1. How the Archaic Kosmos Integrated Nature and Society

Verify Citation

Quoted text:

G.R. Driver, Semitic Writing From Pictograph to Alphabet (Oxford: 1948), p. 157–158.

Originally in Chapter 1, this was cited as “G.R. Driver, Semitic Writing, From Pictograph to Alphabet (3rd ed., London: 1976).” The year and title punctuation were different from what we found, and there was no link. Can you help us verify the citation?

Chapter 1’s citation of this originally was as follows, with no link:

G.R. Driver, Semitic Writing, From Pictograph to Alphabet (3rd ed., London: 1976).

However, we suspected this might instead be intended as we updated it to in Chapter 1 and in Chapter 4:

G.R. Driver, Semitic Writing From Pictograph to Alphabet (Oxford: 1948), p. 157–158.

See related query in Chapter 4:

Originally in Chapter 4, this was written as “Driver 1976: 179”: the full citation was missing, and both the year and page numbers were different from what we found: G.R. Driver, Semitic Writing From Pictograph to Alphabet (Oxford: 1948), p. 157–158.

Can you help us to confirm the relevant part discussed here is on pages 157–158 of the text that we cite? It may be a different edition, or possibly the wrong text.

From our research, the author of this text, G.R. Driver, died in 1975, meaning that the original “1976” may have been either a posthumous edition we could not find that may have different page numbers or a typo. What do you think?

Quoted text:

the Akkadian sign for water, mem, occupying the first position in the cuneiform syllabary described by Zimmern[2] (1896; see also Driver[3] 1948: pp. 157–158), subsequently evolved into the Canaanite (and hence Greek and modern) letter m, originally μῦ, recalling the wavy zigzag line traditionally used to denote water.

We guessed at the full citation for “Zimmern (1896)”:

  1. We guessed that the author’s full name is Heinrich Zimmern.
  2. We guessed that this was the 1896 publication that Hudson intended to cite: H. Zimmern, “Zur Frage nach dem Ursprung des Alphabets,” Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft, Vol. 50 (1896), pp. 667–670.

Quoted text:

Chapter 5 of Book 8 Aristotle emphasized that the sort of music that is only “for our amusement and refreshment, like taking a nap or having a drink,” is not of serious importance, although it may be “pleasant and help us forget our worries, as Euripides says” (Bacchae[4] 381).
Can someone help identify the Euripides quotation with an original source better than ours? We found and cited this one from here but there may be something better/more definitive; the quotations are pretty different.

  7. discussed his Chart 23: “The gap which remains between a♭ and g♯ at the bottom of the circle is now narrowed to a diaschisma worth about 20 cents or 3/10 x 20 = 6 degrees, wondrously close to the 5 1/4-day shortage between the ancient calendar base of 360 days and the true solar year… The ratio results from the reciprocal meanings of 45:32…”

Example 2 in Chapter 7 General Queries Page Notes (Stub Page Note Number 2):

Pavel Oliva, Sparta and Her Social Problems (1971), pp. 88f. The gerousia consisted of 28 members (gerontes), elected by the citizens’ assembly (apella). This is a lunar number, and Thucydides (I.67) said that the gerousia met each lunar month at the full moon. Perhaps there was a daily rotation of the leaders during this period. The council amounted to 30 with the two kings.

There’s a missing 1953 item by this author cited in Chapter 10 that we need help identifying and adding to the Chapter 10 Bibliography and book Bibliography chapter (either in addition to or instead of the 1963 citation; let us know which you think is the case).
