Clark ___________________________ Malachi H. Hacohen An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2017 Copyright by Emanuel Fiano 2017 Abstract This dissertation pursues a re-examination of the late ancient parting between Christianity and Judaism. It argues that the progressive emergence of two distinct intellectual traditions out of a prior state of interfusion was produced by the crystallization of different discursive modes aimed at addressing a fundamental problem, shared by Jesus-believing and -disbelieving Jews: the question as to how mediation between the godhead and humankind is achieved. The first part of the dissertation tracks the appearance, reception, and history of effects of a particular theological expression in the course of the trinitarian controversies in Roman Syria, in order to illuminate a series of epistemic shifts within Christian theological thought. This study suggests that the increasing formularization, technicalization, and dogmatization of Christian manners of discussing the divine led to the development of a set of highly specialized discursive rules, which in turn brought about the formation of a distinct Christian intellectual field. In the second part of the dissertation, the re-interpretation of a passage from the Babylonian Talmud traditionally understood as disavowing binitarian beliefs leads to the hypothesis of a late ancient rabbinic rejection of the pursuit of exact knowledge about the divine realm, in favor of forms of religious discourse focused on halakhah and more directly supporting rabbinic authority. The dissertation concludes that, more than conflict over specific theological issues (such as the unicity vs. iv multiplicity of divine entities), it was different intellectual practices and modes of religious discourse that came to affect Jews’ and Christians’ separate self- understandings. v Dedication To the blessed memory of my grandparents Miranda and Tullio, Adriana and Amadio. vi Table of Contents Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... iv Dedication ..................................................................................................................................... vi Abbreviations ............................................................................................................................ xiiii Classical Authors and Texts ................................................................................................ xii Journals, Serials, and Multi-Volume Publications .......................................................... xiv Acknowledgments ...................................................................................................................... xii 1.

    TRICLINIUM PAUPERUM: POVERTY, CHARITY AND THE PAPACY IN THE TIME OF GREGORY THE GREAT AN ABSTRACT SUBMITTED ON THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF MARCH, 2013 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS OF TULANE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY ___________________________ Miles Doleac APPROVED: ________________________ Dennis P. Kehoe, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ F. Thomas Luongo, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ Thomas D. Frazel, Ph.D AN ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of Gregory I (r. 590-604 CE) in developing permanent ecclesiastical institutions under the authority of the Bishop of Rome to feed and serve the poor and the socio-political world in which he did so. Gregory’s work was part culmination of pre-existing practice, part innovation. I contend that Gregory transformed fading, ancient institutions and ideas—the Imperial annona, the monastic soup kitchen-hospice or xenodochium, Christianity’s “collection for the saints,” Christian caritas more generally and Greco-Roman euergetism—into something distinctly ecclesiastical, indeed “papal.” Although Gregory has long been closely associated with charity, few have attempted to unpack in any systematic way what Gregorian charity might have looked like in practical application and what impact it had on the Roman Church and the Roman people. I believe that we can see the contours of Gregory’s initiatives at work and, at least, the faint framework of an organized system of ecclesiastical charity that would emerge in clearer relief in the eighth and ninth centuries under Hadrian I (r. 772-795) and Leo III (r.

  • ABSTRACT the Apostolic Tradition in the Ecclesiastical Histories Of
    ABSTRACT The Apostolic Tradition in the Ecclesiastical Histories of Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret Scott A. Rushing, Ph.D. Mentor: Daniel H. Williams, Ph.D. This dissertation analyzes the transposition of the apostolic tradition in the fifth-century ecclesiastical histories of Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret. In the early patristic era, the apostolic tradition was defined as the transmission of the apostles’ teachings through the forms of Scripture, the rule of faith, and episcopal succession. Early Christians, e.g., Irenaeus, Tertullian, and Origen, believed that these channels preserved the original apostolic doctrines, and that the Church had faithfully handed them to successive generations. The Greek historians located the quintessence of the apostolic tradition through these traditional channels. However, the content of the tradition became transposed as a result of three historical movements during the fourth century: (1) Constantine inaugurated an era of Christian emperors, (2) the Council of Nicaea promulgated a creed in 325 A.D., and (3) monasticism emerged as a counter-cultural movement. Due to the confluence of these sweeping historical developments, the historians assumed the Nicene creed, the monastics, and Christian emperors into their taxonomy of the apostolic tradition. For reasons that crystallize long after Nicaea, the historians concluded that pro-Nicene theology epitomized the apostolic message. They accepted the introduction of new vocabulary, e.g. homoousios, as the standard of orthodoxy. In addition, the historians commended the pro- Nicene monastics and emperors as orthodox exemplars responsible for defending the apostolic tradition against the attacks of heretical enemies. The second chapter of this dissertation surveys the development of the apostolic tradition.

Fredouille (edd.), Titres et articulations du texte dans les œuvres antiques: actes du Colloque International de Chantilly, – décembre , Collection des Études Augustiniennes (Paris ) –. This impressive piece of historical research is divided into three main parts. In a preliminary section Alexandre first gives a brief survey of the study of the transmission of the corpus Philonicum in modern scholarship and announces the theme of her article, namely to present some reflections on the Latin titles now in general use in Philonic scholarship. In the first part of the article she shows how the replacement of Greek titles by Latin ones is part of the humanist tradition, and is illustrated by the history of Philonic editions from Turnebus to Arnaldez– Pouilloux–Mondésert. She then goes on in the second part to examine the Latin tradition of Philo’s reception in antiquity (Jerome, Rufinus, the Old Latin translation) in order to see whether the titles transmitted by it were influential in determining the Latin titles used in the editions. This appears to have hardly been the case. In the third part the titles now in use are analysed. Most of them were invented by the humanists of the Renaissance and the succeeding period; only a few are the work of philologists of the th century.

Anadolu, Suriye, Lübnan ve Filistin kıyılarında yaşanan dikkat çekici gelişmelerin gerekçeleri hakkında net yanıtlar verilememektedir. Bazı bilim insanları Roma lejyonlarının Doğu Akdeniz’deki üretim hacmini arttırdığı ve ekonomiye hatırı sayılır bir canlılık kazandırdığı üzerinde durmaktadır. Ancak askerî seferler her bölgede aynı ekonomik kalkınmaya neden olmamıştır. Kilikia bölgesinde özellikle MS 4 ile erken 7. yy.’lar arasında gözlenen gelişmeler de, ciddi bir ekonomik hareketliliğin yaşandığına işaret etmekte ve tüm Doğu Akdeniz’in merak uyandıran bu problemine ışık tutabilecek önemli ipuçları barındırmaktadır. Bölgenin sahillerinde ortaya çıkan yeni yerleşimler; tarımsal üretim yapan çiftliklerin ve kırsal yerleşimlerin anormal ölçüde çoğalması ile inşa edilen kiliselerin sayısındaki artış, bu ekonomik hareketliliğin en somut yansımaları arasında gösterilebilir. Bu gelişmelerin yanı sıra antik dünyanın hemen her noktasında bulunan ve aynı zaman dilimine ait olan Kilikia kökenli LR1 amphoralarının üretiminde de bir patlama yaşanmıştır. Bölgede, Roma ve Erken Bizans Dönemi’nde nasıl bir siyasi ve ticari tablo ile karşılaşılmaktadır? Ayrıca LR1 amphoralarının bu denli geniş bir coğrafyaya yayılması nasıl ve kimler vasıtasıyla olmuştur? Adana ve Mersin illerinin sınırları içindeki antik kentler, tüm Doğu Akdeniz’i ilgilendiren bu çözümlenememiş probleme yanıt olabilecek ipuçları barındırmaktadır. Özellikle Anazarbus kentinin kuruluşu, Aegeai ve Tarsus kentleriyle birlikte bölgede nasıl bir ticari misyon üstlendiği irdelenecek ve konuya ışık tutulmaya çalışılacaktır.
