World Map of Al-‘Umari #226.1
World Map of al-‘Umari #226.1 TITLE: The Mamunic World Map DATE: 1340 AUTHOR: Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn Fadlallah al-‘Umari DESCRIPTION: The geographic work Masalik al-aNar fi mainalik al-amsar [Ways of Perception Concerning the Most Populous [Civilized] Provinces] was written by Ahmad Ibn Fadlalldh al-Umari (died 1349), a distinguished administrator and author who was active in Cairo and Damascus under Mamluk rule. He claims that the map is a copy of the world map made for Caliph al-Ma’mun (reigned 813-833); also mentioned by al-Mas’udi (#212) earlier. The world map shown here is reproduced in this manuscript of the work of al- ‘Umari. The same manuscript also has maps of the first three climates. Although the climates are not divided into sections, the general impression is that the maps are derived from those of al-Idrisi (#219). However, from its appearance it seems to have been compiled from the text of the Kitab bast al-ard fi tuliha wa-al-‘ard [Exposition of the earth in length and breadth] by Ibn Sa‘id (#221). Al-‘Umari’s text does mention a map and gives a few examples of longitude and latitude, but on the whole they do not correspond with positions given on the map. Most of the Istanbul manuscripts of Ibn Fadlallah al-‘Umari’s work are undated. However, the earliest one to be dated is 1585, suggesting that this and most other copies were prepared for the libraries of the Ottoman sultans of that period. By that time the idea of a graticule was well known from European sources and could have been added to bring the map up to date. -

The following Translations, executed at intervals during the last twenty years, appeared from time to time in Kilmarnock or Glasgow journals. They were undertaken solely as a literary solace, and with no view to subsequent collection and republication. But during late years I have been asked so often, and by so many, to republish them that I at last reluctantly consented. However, I had got jaded, and I shrank from the labour of revision. But I did them at first as carefully as I could, and I am not sure that by revision I should have improved them. Still, if I did not think they had some merit, especially that of fidelity, no solicitation, however urgent, would have induced me to republish. The name of the translators of the Gicek ti Anthology, to a larger or smaller extent, is Legion, and among these have been some of our countrymen the most eminent for scholarship and poetic genius. This effort of mine, there- fore, may appear presumptuous; but I am neither weak enough nor vain enough to enter the lists as a rival to these, nor do I offer my little book as a critical guide. -

Greg Goswell, “Early Readers of the Gospels: the KEPHALAIA and TITLOI of Codex Alexandrinus”
[JGRChJ 6 (2009) 134-74] EARLY READERS OF THE GOSPELS: THE KEPHALAIA AND TITLOI OF CODEX ALEXANDRINUS Greg Goswell Presbyterian Theological College, Melbourne, Australia For the New Testament, the oldest system of capitulation (division into chapters) known to us is that preserved in Codex Vaticanus (B 03) of the fourth century.1 I will use the notation V1, V2 etc. to refer to chapters of Vaticanus. Even a cursory examination of Vaticanus is enough to reveal that the divisions represent an evaluation of what are the sense units of the biblical passages. Each successive chapter in the Gospels is numbered using Greek letters written in red ink to the left of the columns. Capitulation is further indicated by a space of (usually) two letters at the close of the preceding chapter, a short horizontal line (paragraphos) above the first letter of the first whole line of the new chapter marking the close of the preceding paragraph, and sometimes by a letter protruding into the left margin (ekthesis).2 The system of 1. H.K. McArthur, ‘The Earliest Divisions of the Gospels’, in Studia Evangelica, III. 2 (ed. F.L. Cross; Texte und Untersuchungen, 88; Berlin: Akademie Verlag, 1964), pp. 266-72. After rejecting three other possible explanations, McAr- thur suggests that the divisions were used for citation purposes, especially in aca- demic circles. For alternate systems of chapter division in Greek versions of the Old Testament, see Robert Devreesse, Introduction à l’étude des manuscrits grecs (Paris: Klincksieck, 1954), pp. 139-41. The major divisions in Vaticanus are called chapters, while those in Alexandrinus, which are the basis of the standard divisions used in Nestle-Aland (Novum Testamentum Graece [27th Edition] = NTG27) are called kephalaia. -

It will cover the Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Catholic traditions from the early through to the contemporary period. The series will make a valuable contribution to the study of Eastern Christianity by publishing research by scholars from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. The different traditions that make up the world of Eastern Christianity have not always received the attention they deserve, so this series will provide a platform for deepening our knowledge of them as well as bringing them to a wider audience. The need for such a series has been felt for sometime by the scholarly community in view of the increasing interest in the Christian East.

Nathaniel Ogden Kidd, B.A., M.Div A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December, 2018 ABSTRACT IMAGINING DEMONS IN POST-BYZANTINE JERUSALEM: JOHN OF DAMASCUS AND THE CONSOLIDATION OF CLASSICAL CHRISTIAN DEMONOLOGY The Rev. Nathaniel Ogden Kidd, B.A., M.Div Marquette University, 2018 This dissertation traces the consolidation of a classical Christian framework for demonology in the theological corpus of John of Damascus (c. 675 – c. 750), an eighth century Greek theologian writing in Jerusalem. When the Damascene sat down to write, I argue, there was a great variety of demonological options available to him, both in the depth of the Christian tradition, and in the ambient local imagination. John’s genius lies first in what he chose not to include, but second in his ability to synthesize a minimalistic demonology out of a complex body of material and integrate it into a broader theological system.
