单词 archaeography
释义

archaeographyn.

Brit. /ˌɑːkɪˈɒɡrəfi/, U.S. /ˌɑrkiˈɑɡrəfi/
Forms: see archaeo- comb. form and -graphy comb. form.
Origin: Formed within English by compounding; originally modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: archaeo- comb. form, -graphy comb. form.
Etymology: < archaeo- comb. form + -graphy comb. form, originally after French archéographie (1796 in the passage translated in quot. 1804 at sense 1 as archaeographie ), itself after post-classical Latin archaeographia (1679 or earlier). Compare earlier archaeographical adj.Compare German Archäographie (1787 or earlier), and also Byzantine Greek ἀρχαιογράϕος writing of antiquities (attested in a glossary).
1. The systematic study and description of ancient or prehistoric monuments, artefacts, and other archaeological remains; the systematic study and description of past peoples, societies, and cultures from archaeological remains. Also: a study or description of this kind.Originally, archaeography was distinguished as a subdiscipline of the study of ancient history (cf. archaeology n. 1). It is now often distinguished as the component of archaeology (sense 2) concerned with description rather than analysis or interpretation; in this respect it is sometimes regarded as analogous to ethnography, but dealing with peoples, societies, and cultures of the past rather than the present.

1804 tr. A. L. Millin in Monthly Mag. Mar. 135/1 By archeology.., he understands the knowledge of the manners, rites, and usages [of the ancients]; and by literary archeology, that which treats of the monuments, but merely in an historical point of view, without referring to the excellence of the art. The term archeography [Fr. Archæographie], employed by Spon, appears to me to be preferable to the latter.
1836 tr. K. F. Hermann Man. Polit. Antiq. Greece Introd. 1 History is learnt from them [sc. ancient works of art], but they themselves require description, and the name archæography [Ger. Archäographie] has consequently been proposed for the science which treats of them.
