Meanwhile, Prof. Dr. Yulia Griber from Smolensk State University finished her very busy and interesting internship at the Hornemann Institute. During a press conference in Germany, which was held as a telephone conference with Smolensk State University, Prof. Dr. Yulia Griber and Dr. Angela Weyer from the Hornemann Institute of HAWK presented the results of the publishing project. You can find the video of the press conference here.
Prof. Dr. Yulia Griber from Smolensk State University is currently with us, a linguist and cultural Heritage scientist who translated our Ewaglos ((European Illustrated Glossary of Conservation Terms for Wall Paintings and Architectural Surfaces) 2016 into Russian with a team:
- Financed by the Russian Federation, she is now able to print her translation together with the English terms and pass on the 300 copies to colleagues in and outside Russia free of charge. If you would like a copy, please contact us.
- Supported by the German Academic Exchange Service, she is also conducting research on the subject: Russian Conservation History as a Part of the Cultural History of Europe: Terms for Wall Paintings and Architectural Surfaces in Cross-Cultural Understanding
In December 2018 a Russian translation was completed. It is supplemented with the German text and was compiled by Professor Dr. Yulia Griber of the Smolensk State University (Russia), together with six colleagues.
A total of 14 experts from four universities have worked for this translation under the direction of Prof. Dr. Takeshi Ishizaki from the Tohoku University of Art and Design, Institute for Conservation of Cultural Property (and ICOMOS).
It is done by Professor Dr. Hussein Mohamed Ali

For the case that anyone wants to translate EwaGlos as voluntary work and to publish it on this website, we prepared a template that everybody can do it easily including an own foreword and a list of the translators. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Meanwhile we have translators for Russian (responsible: Prof. Dr. Julia Griber, Smolensk), Arabic (responsible: Professor Dr. Hussein Mohamed Ali, Minia, Egypt), Slowenia (responsible: Andrea Urlandová, Bratislava) and Portugese (responsible: António João Cruz).
The revised second digital edition of EwaGlos is now online!
Most corrections concern typing errors, punctuations and hyphenations. More extensive changes affect only the French index, some Bulgarian translations, the synonyms as well as the „not to be confused with”-terms.
Meanwhile, we have colleagues who are working on an Arabic and Russian and Mandarin translation and we have a translation offer from Slovakia, too. For the case that anyone wants to translate EwaGlos as voluntary work and to publish it on this website, we prepared a template that everybody can do it easily including an own foreword and a list of the translators.
