La naturaleza de trabajos como el DMic. los liga a la necesidad de revisiones periódicas que subsanen el desfase al que inexorablemente los somete el paso del tiempo. En el caso que nos ocupa, ello es así por varias razones. La primera, la aparición de ediciones nuevas de textos ya conocidos que han mejorado notablemente su intelección, tanto por contener nuevas uniones de fragmentos tabléticos, considerados, hasta el momento, de manera independiente y que proporcionan al texto resultante una nueva dimensión interpretativa, cuanto en lo referente a su léxico, por sacar a la luz términos nuevos, consecuencia de esas uniones o de mejores lecturas de los textos. Este es el caso de las últimas ediciones de los textos pilios 1 y cnosios. 2 La segunda, y no menos importante, se refiere a la aparición de ediciones de textos nuevos, desconocidos cuando se elaboró el DMic. En este sentido, aparte del afortunado y continuado goteo de documentos nuevos que, de un tiempo a esta parte, proporcionan los yacimientos, 3 hay que destacar, de manera sobresaliente, las más de doscientas tablillas, o fragmentos de tablillas, encontradas por Vassilis L. Aravantinos en Tebas 4 , que han engrosado, de manera muy notable, los recogidos en TITHEMY. 5 El hallazgo ha sido capital, no solo por lo que supone en cuanto al enriquecimiento del léxico conocido hasta el momento,

Questo manuale intende offrire un quadro aggiornato delle conoscenze nel campo dell’epigrafia micenea. Nato dalla collaborazione di un gruppo di specialisti di varie università e centri di ricerca, contiene un’introduzione alla scrittura e alla lingua dei testi micenei e un’analisi dettagliata dei principali documenti in lineare B, suddivisi per argomento. Nel primo volume, la scrittura, le pratiche scribali e quelle amministrative sono presentate nel dettaglio e messe a confronto con quelle delle amministrazioni minoiche in “geroglifico” cretese e in lineare A, mentre i documenti sono contestualizzati sul piano archeologico e descritti dal punto di vista epigrafico, paleografico e archivistico. Nel secondo volume, dopo una descrizione dettagliata dei settori produttivi ricostruibili in base alla testimonianza delle fonti scritte, è proposta una sintesi sul mondo miceneo, relativa a geografia, società, economia e religione. Ogni capitolo del manuale è corredato da un’ampia bibliografia. Chiude il volume un glossario dei vocaboli micenei discussi nel testo.
Due tomi indivisibili.
The handbook, which is the fruit of the collaboration of a group of specialists from various universities and research centres in Italy and abroad, aims to provide an updated overview about Mycenaean epigraphy. It contains an introduction to the writing and language of the Mycenaean texts and a detailed analysis of the main Linear B documents divided by topic. In the first volume the Linear B writing system and the Mycenaean scribal and administrative practices are analyzed and compared with their Minoan antecedents (Cretan Hieroglyphics and Linear A). The second volume contains a detailed description of the different production sectors as they can be reconstructed from the Linear B texts as well as a synthesis of some major topics relating to the Mycenaean world, such as geography, society, economy and religion. Each chapter is provided with an essential bibliography. The book ends with a glossary of the Mycenaean words.

A study of all the Linear B clay inscriptions from Mycenae (Greece), 65 tablets and 8 nodules dating between 1250-1200 BC., is undertaken beginning with the last edition of the texts (TITHEMY, Salamanca 1991), in order to best explain the workings of the Mycenaean Palace in the second half of the century XIII BC. The study is done using a method that combines philological and archaeological analyses, a new approach to the Mycenaean tablets, whose authors -fifteen or so scribes- were each one without exception circumscribed in one single find-spot, so that the texts of one hand are never found in more than one building. The fist four chapters analyse the workings of the four establishments where the majority of tablets and nodules were housed:
1/ House of the Oil Merchant (HOM): 31 tablets; 6 scribes.
2/ House of Sphinxes (HSph): 10 tablets and 7 nodules; 5 scribes.
3/ West House (WH): 12 tablets; 2 scribes.
4/ Citadel House (CH): 8 tablets and one nodule; 2 scribes.
The four tablets appearing in isolated contexts have been analysed separately in chapter V.
In the conclusions four important aspects of the documentation are undertaken: a) the palaeographical examination of the texts; b) the description of the language of the documents; c) a study of the personal names; d) the record-keeping system in Mycenae.

En este trabajo se aborda la cuestión de la variedad léxica para designar conceptos y objetos, desde un punto de vista funcional, atestiguada en las inscripciones en Lineal B, sin entrar en la noción teórica de sinónimo. En concreto, se analizan tres grupos de términos significativos funcionalmente equivalentes en los registros micénicos: 1) ko-wa/o ≈ tu-ka-te, i-jo, u-jo ≈ ¿ki-ra?: «hija/o»; 2) pa-ro da-mo, da-mi-jo ≈ ko-na: «de la comunidad», y 3) tu-ro₂ ≈ ¿*190?: «queso».

Evidence for palatial administration in Mycenae during the Bronze Age is very limited, because only 73 inscriptions in Linear B, which date from 1250 and 1200 BC., have reached us from this site. Most of the inscriptions, 63 documents, come from a block of four buildings outside the Acropolis : the West House, the House of Shields, the House of the Oil Merchant and the House of Sphinxes. This fact has been interpreted by some scholars as evidence for an administrative decentralization, or for a "mixed" domestic and official nature of these buildings. Nevertheless, an accurate analysis of the inscriptions together with the archeological record found in situ shows the exclusively palatial condition of these "houses".

fessió és literalment vital i forma part tan indissociable del que són que no hi ha cap imperatiu administratiu o legal que pugui posar fi a la seva activitat. La Professora Rosa-Araceli Santiago —Roseli, per a tots els seus amics— és una d’aquestes persones. Algú en qui es compleix aquella màxima de Soló «envelleixo aprenent sempre moltes coses», perquè en ella no ha decrescut mai ni la curiositat ni l’afany per comprendre millor el llegat del món grec antic en cadascun dels textos que ens n’han arribat. Ben al contrari: avui més que mai, el seu interès per l’estudi de les fonts gregues es desplega en un ventall amplíssim de testimonis i de temes, i amb un entusiasme i energia desbordants encavalca una recerca rere una altra, aparentment infatigable.

The possible evidence of a plot of land belonging to the rural community on the Linear B tablet MY Ue 652, the only recording land in Mycenae, is here considered, basing on the proposed equivalence of the term ko-na ‘common’ in this tablet to the phrase pa-ro da-mo ‘from the dāmos’, recorded on the PY Eb/Ep series. The two other Linear B evidence of ko-na, on tablets PY Ep 212.3 and TH X 105.1, are also discussed.

The possibility that the Linear B term to-ko-do-mo = *τοιχοδόμοι(ς): “wall-builders” could be a dative plural on line 11 of the new text PY An 7 + Fn 1427, edited by Melena after a join of two fragments (see Minos 31-32, 1996-1997, 171-176), is here discussed through an analysis of the internal arrangement of this tablet and the graphic features of its scribe, Hand 3 of Pylos. Without going into the general discussion about the dative plural of the o-stems in Mycenaean Greek, if the hypothesis that there is at least one form in –o for a thematic dative plural in Linear B were certain, this would involve that the two endings attested for this case in alphabetic Greek, i.e, -οισι and –οις, were be already in use in Mycenaean times for the same case, at least to the end of the period of the Linear B inscriptions (ca. 1200 BC).

Los cuatro primeros capitulos analizan los cuatro establecimientos palaciegos en donde se han hallado el grueso de los textos: 1/casa del comerciante de aceite, con registros de aceite y lana, 2/ casa de las esfinges, con registros de especias y vasos; 3/casa occidental, que funciona como alojamiento y manutencion de fuerzas de trabajo; 4/casa de la ciudadela, que es la zona de culto religioso. Cuatro tablillas aisladas son examinadas en el capitulo V.

The opinion of some scholars that there are dialectal differences on the Mycenaean tablets from Pylos and Knossos leads us to analyse the dossier from Mycenae of one of the proposed dialect features: the third declension dative ending. The ocurrence of the two endings of this case, -e and -i, is almost balanced at Mycenae, and the number of evidences is linguistically relevant for she wing a more evolved state of Greek language than that of Knossos and Pylos.

Los terminos en Lineal B ka-sa-to y a-ko-ro-ta han sido interpretados generalmente como antroponimos masculinos en todos los textos micenicos en donde aparecen, pero, recientemente, algunos autores han propuesto que, en las tablillas de Micenas en las que estan registrados, son adjetivos referidos al color. Se rebate aqui esta interpretacion mediante un analisis comprehensivo de dichos terminos, presentado como modelo de estudio lexicologico del griego micenico.

This paper analyses all the possible Linear B terms which can contain the root of alphabetic Greek *ξένϝος: “Foreigner, Guest, Host”: the adjective ke-se-nu-wi-ja, which appears in three tablets: KN Ld(1) 573.b, 574.b and 585.b, and its variant spelling ke-se-ne-wi-ja, recorded on KN Ld(1) 649.b, all of them in hand 116 and qualifying pa-we-a cloth; the adjective ke-se-ni-wi-jo, which occurs on the olive oil tablet PY Fr 1231.2, in hand 2; the personal name ke-se-nu-wo, appearing on the broken tablet PY Cn 286.1, in hand 1, which is included in a series recording cattle, and also two other problematic terms, often neglected in these studies: the form ]nu-wi-jo, on tablet PY Fr 1255, written by Class ii, which could be completed ke-se]nu-wi-jo, and the strange ze-ne-si-wi-jo, probably a personal name on tablet KN M(1) 720. The aim of my paper is to detail the use of this stem in Mycenaean Greek.

The Linear B terms ka-sa-to and a-ko-ro-ta have been generally interpreted as male personal names in all the Mycenaean texts where they appear, but some scholars have recently suggested that they are adjectives referring to colour in the Mycenae tablets where they are attested. This interpretation is refuted here, by using a comprehensive analysis of both terms, which is offered as an example of lexicological study on Mycenaean Greek
