THE NUBIAN LITURGICAL CALENDAR the Evidence of the Nubian Lectionaries* THE NUBIAN LITURGICAL CALENDAR The Evidence of the Nubian Lectionaries* 1. Introduction There are still many aspects of Christian culture of the Middle Nile Valley that remain largely understudied. One of them is Nubian liturgy, which belongs to the most difficult fields of research for a Nubiologist. This difficulty stems from the paucity and fragmentation of sources and is reflected in a limited number of publications devoted to the subject. One of these few articles and at the same time the most complete one was published by Heinzgerd Brakmann in the ArchivfürLiturgiewissen- schaft in 20061. In the second paragraph of this excellent text, Brakmann states that to present a general analysis of the Nubian liturgy, a series of detailed researches is required, one of them on the order of the pericopae preserved in Nubian sources. As a matter of fact, the subject was not left untouched, but it has never been presented in a detailed manner. To the best of my knowl- edge, only three scholars attempted to interpret the earliest-known and * In my book on the dating systems used in the Middle Nile Valley between the sixth and the fifteenth centuries, I devoted a small chapter to the survey of sources that contain information on different feasts of the Nubian Church (OCHAŁA, ChronologicalSystems, p. 321-324). I, however, did not go into details of the Nubian liturgical calendar, since the subject largely exceeded the scope of the book. In the present article I attempt to present a more adequate analysis of the sources. The present article is a seriously revised version of the text published in Polish in 2013 (OCHAŁA, Kalendarzliturgiczny). A detailed analysis of one text discussed here, “The Qasr Ibrim typikon”, has already been published in HAGEN – OCHAŁA, SaintsandScrip- turesforPhaophi; however, our previous considerations are repeated here to some extent for the sake of completeness of the evidence and discussion. My research on this subject has been generously financed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Poland (grant no. 0392/IP3/2011/71, title of the project: “Chronological systems of Christian Nubia: liturgical calendar and king’s list”). I wish to thank in this place Diliana Atanassova, Nathalie Bosson, Joost Hagen, Adam Łajtar, Giovanni Ruffini, Jacques van der Vliet, and Ewa Wipszycka for commenting upon various drafts of the present text. Special thanks go to Diliana Atanassova, who has furnished me with information about unpublished typika from the White Monastery and permitted me to use this extremely important comparative material, and to Giovanni Ruffini, who corrected my English. Finally, I would like to express my utmost gratitude to Ugo Zanetti, whose critical review of the text helped me remove bigger and smaller errors that resulted from my lack of experience in the field of liturgiology. 1 BRAKMANN, Defunctus, p. 283-333.

OCHAŁA most extensively preserved fragment of a lectionary from the Middle Nile Valley, the so-called “Griffith’s Old Nubian lectionary”: Hermann Junker in 1906, Francis Griffith in 1913, and Bruce Metzger in 19682. However, all of them limited themselves to more or less laconic but very similar statements that the Nubian order of the readings finds no parallel in lectionaries of other churches3. Both Junker and Griffith took as their point of departure the present-day system of readings of the Coptic Church, which, although it preserves some archaic elements, especially the read- ings for solemnities4, is a result of centuries of development. Hence, it is hardly surprising that only very few similarities can be found in the Nubian lectionaries. Metzger, on the other hand, took as his basis “Greek and Coptic lectionaries” (without any further specification, regrettably), but he was not able to identify any parallels either. All three scholars had at their disposal only one text; at present, after the discovery and publication of documents from Qasr Ibrim, the number has increased five times. However unimpressive this number still is, the documents deserve a closer look, all the more so since no one has ever paid any particular attention to them and their historical and liturgical analysis is still lacking. In my research I have decided to go beyond Coptic and Greek sources and to verify lectionaries of other Eastern churches as well: Syriac, Geor- gian, and Armenian, according to the availability of sources and their publications5. For the Reader’s convenience, in the “Appendix” placed at the end of the present article I give a full list of sources and publications 2 JUNKER, DieneuentdecktenchristlichenHandschriften, p. 440-441; GRIFFITH, The NubianTexts, p. 25; METZGER, TheChristianizationofNubia, p. 120. Gerald M. Browne, who was the last editor of the text (see below), is not included here, since he conducted only a codicological, grammatical, and linguistic analysis of the source. 3 Interestingly, “Griffith’s Old Nubian lectionary” is occasionally mentioned in schol- arly literature on the ancient liturgy. I have managed to locate three such remarks, one in BAUMSTARK, NichtevangelischesyrischePerikopenordnungen, p. 34, and two other in ZANETTI, Les lectionnaires coptes annuels, p. 19-20, and ZANETTI, Les lectionnaires coptes, p. 177. Both scholars, however, mention the Nubian text in connection with Egypt and her liturgical tradition rather than discuss it as a document of the separate Church of Nubia. 4 ZANETTI, Leslectionnairescoptes, p. 150 and 167. 5 Ethiopia is excluded from this list, because in my research I have not come across any published Ethiopic lectionary. FRITSCH – ZANETTI, Gǝṣṣawe, p. 773-775, note that the Ethiopian liturgical calendar is based on the Egyptian (more probably the Upper Egyptian) one, but no comparative studies of the pericopae have been undertaken so far. To date, only the temporal has been made available to scholars not reading in Ethiopic in FRITSCH, TheLiturgicalYearI: TheTemporal (nonvidi); cf. FRITSCH, TheLiturgicalYear:Intro- duction, p. 71-116. The Ethiopian synaxarium, on the other hand, is known to have been translated in the fourteenth century from Coptic-Arabic sources (COLIN – BAUSI, Sǝnkǝssar, p. 621-623; COQUIN, Synaxarion,Ethiopian, p. 2190-2191). 998027.indb8027.indb 2 44/06/15/06/15 111:521:52 THE NUBIAN LITURGICAL CALENDAR 3 used as comparative material for the Nubian pericopae. The “Appendix” includes both abbreviations of the most frequently used bibliographic references, explanations concerning names, sigla, and inventory numbers appearing throughout the article, and brief descriptions of sources. Unfortunately, the comparative material is rather limited, which in some cases results not from the lack of sources but rather their state of publication. This is especially visible in the case of Byzantine liturgical books, which are abundant but virtually unavailable6. Moreover, until quite recently Greek lectionaries were studied solely from the perspective of the textual criticism of the Scriptures7. Thus, the system of readings of the Byzantine Church is not well known and the compilation produced by Caspar René Gregory more than a hundred years ago is, to the best of my knowledge, the only publication making such information available to scholars. On the other hand, one experiences a lack of sources, especially ancient ones, in the case of Egypt. This situation is particularly frustrating, since Egypt as Nubia’s closest neighbour could be the key to understand- ing the Nubian liturgy. These two facts, the lack of sources and the lack of publications, make the present-day liturgical calendars of the Greek and Coptic Churches in many cases the only source of analogies. Of course, both calendars are the effect of hundreds of years of evolution, but since we have no access to particular stages of the process, it seems worthwhile to look at the final result, all the more so since both traditions are highly conservative (which, by the way, also finds confirmation in the present article). Thus, the present paper is the first attempt to comprehensively analyse the fragments of the Nubian lectionaries known to date. The article con- sists of three parts: the presentation of the material, a typological analy- sis of the sources, remarks on the order of the Liturgy of the Word, and a discussion of the Nubian choice of pericopae. All parts have a value in themselves, mainly thanks to their systematising character. However, they also bring a handful of interesting observations, which, when put together, may bring us a bit closer to a better understanding of the Nubian litur- gical calendar in particular and the Nubian liturgy in general. Of course, the sources are too fragmentary to expect from them a full picture, but they are the only witnesses of the Nubian system of pericopae and as such deserve particular attention. 6 A list of manuscripts prepared by Caspar Gregory in 1900 (GREGORY, Textkritik, p. 387-477) includes 1359 New Testament lectionaries, but I have no information how many of them have ever been published. 7 The history of research on this category of sources is presented in JORDAN, TheTex- tualTradition, p. 15-39. 998027.indb8027.indb 3 44/06/15/06/15 111:521:52 4 G. OCHAŁA 2. Thesources As mentioned above, there are five fragments of Nubian lectionaries in total. All of them are in different states of preservation and they cover different parts of the liturgical year. Apart from “Griffith’s Old Nubian lectionary” (no. 1), the provenance of which is unknown, all of the remain- ing pieces (nos. 2-5) were found at the site of Qasr Ibrim, one of the most important cities in Lower Nubia8. Fragment no. 5 is exceptional in this assemblage, because it is written partly in Greek and partly in Coptic, while the remaining four texts are exclusively in the Old Nubian language.

    VOCALIC PHONOLOGY IN NEW TESTAMENT MANUSCRIPTS by DOUGLAS LLOYD ANDERSON (Under the direction of Jared Klein) ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the development of iotacism and the merger of ! and " in Roman and Byzantine manuscripts of the New Testament. Chapter two uses onomastic variation in the manuscripts of Luke to demonstrate that the confusion of # and $ did not become prevalent until the seventh or eighth century. Furthermore, the variations % ~ # and % ~ $ did not manifest themselves until the ninth century, and then only adjacent to resonants. Chapter three treats the unexpected rarity of the confusion of o and " in certain second through fifth century New Testament manuscripts, postulating a merger of o and " in the second century CE in the communities producing the New Testament. Finally, chapter four discusses the chronology of these vocalic mergers to show that the Greek of the New Testament more closely parallels Attic inscriptions than Egyptian papyri.

  • The Septuagint As Christian Scripture: Its Prehistory and the Problem of Its
    OLD TESTAMENT STUDIES Edited by David J. Reimer OLD TESTAMENT STUDIES The mid-twentieth century was a period of great confidence in the study of the Hebrew Bible: many historical and literary questions appeared to be settled, and a constructive theological programme was well underway. Now, at the turn of the century, the picture is very different. Conflicting positions are taken on historical issues; scholars disagree not only on how to pose the questions, but also on what to admit as evidence. Sharply divergent methods are used in ever more popular literary studies of the Bible. Theological ferment persists, but is the Bible's theological vision coherent, or otherwise? The Old Testament Studies series provides an outlet for thoughtful debate in the fundamental areas of biblical history, theology and literature. Martin Hengel is well known for his seminal work on early Judaism and nascent Christianity. In this volume he turns his attention to the Septuagint—the first bible of the church, yet a product of Greek- speaking Judaism. Hengel probes into the historical and theological puzzles posed by the Septuagint opening a window on the formation of canon and attitudes to scripture in the Christian tradition, and on the relationship between Judaism and Christianity in the early centuries of the era.

  • Marea and Philoxenite Where to Locate Them?
    INSTITUT DES CULTURES MÉDITERRANÉENNES ET ORIENTALES DE L’ACADÉMIE POLONAISE DES SCIENCES ÉTUDES et TRAVAUX XXV 2012 EWA WIPSZYCKA Marea and Philoxenite Where to Locate Them? 418 EWA WIPSZYCKA The history of this article is complicated. In 2001 I took part in an archaeological mission whose task was to excavate the remains of a city located on the southern shore of Lake Mareotis, a site that is most frequently labelled ‘Marea’ on contemporary maps of the area.1 The site itself had already been excavated in 1977–1981 by Fawzi al-Fakharani and Mieczysław Rodziewicz.2 After a nineteen-year break, the work was resumed in 2000 by Hanna Szymańska and Krzysztof Babraj.3 The site owes its contemporary name ‘Marea’ to Mahmoud al-Falaki, a famous savant and astronomer, the author of the map of Alexandria and its vicinities published 1872. He searched for the remains of this important city guided by information in classical authors (Herodotus, Thucydides, Diodorus Siculus).4 His attention was drawn by stone remains on the southern shore of the lake, near the village of Huwwariya (c. 45km from Alexandria), indicating the existence of a city. This was, in fact, the only larger concentration of ruins on this side of the lake. The localisation of the city more or less agreed with information from Ptolemy (Second century AD), which al-Falaki found in Gustave le Père, Mémoires sur la partie occidentale de la province de al-Baharijja (Description de l’Égypte, État moderne, II, pp. 34–35). Unfortunately, neither of the archaeological missions managed to fi nd any written material allowing establishing the ancient name of the city.

    HISTORY EDUCATION REFORM IN POST-COMMUNIST POLAND, 1989-1999: HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY EFFECTS ON EDUCATIONAL TRANSITION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Christine S. Parker, M.A. ******* The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Antoinette Errante, Adviser Robert Lawson Adviser College of Education Steven Miller Department of Educational Policy & Leadership Copyright by Christine S. Parker 2003 ABSTRACT This dissertation will describe and analyze how state officials, educators, publishers, and historians in Poland have addressed the task of reforming its national curriculum standards and supporting textbooks in the period of transition from the end of Communist rule in 1989 to the introduction of a new system of education in 1999. The goals of this study are to determine (1) the sources of transitional curriculum policies in history education and the role of reform actors in Poland since 1989; (2) why the history education curriculum reforms changed as they did between the creation of proposals and the eventual codification of the reform into law; (3) the influences on the reform of history textbooks during the transitional period; (4) the differences between anticipated goals and actual outcomes of the curricular and textbook reforms, and (5) how to account for those changes in light of the greater scope of the historical development of democratic education in Poland. This grounded study is based on multiple data sources, including documentary evidence, professional journals, and personal interviews with individuals participating in the reform of the history curriculum.

  • ANTIQUITY and WE Introduction Katarzyna Marciniak, from the Antiquity and We OBTA and Civilizational Studies
    Antiquity and We at the Centre for Studies on the Classical Tradition (OBTA) ANTIQUITY At the same time, thanks to Professor Kazimierz Kumaniecki and Professor Lidia Win- niczuk [...], a certain ideological message got through to us. It was not enunciated explicitly, but rather implicitly. It was the conviction that the reception of ancient tradition was a living part of Polish collective memory and a marker of its transformations; that being aware AND WE of that tradition authorized and obliged us to speak and think of Poland and its place within Mediterranean civilization. Jerzy Axer, from Antiquity and We – The Perspective of the Period of Transformation ANTIQUITY AND WE The Humanities are always about the future of man, which he himself is not able to create without reaching to the resources generated in the past. Interdisciplinariness is getting to know the process in practice. The dialogic character of the Humanities also begins here. As an exer- cise in dialogue, OBTA perfectly fits my vision of the role that we are to play in society. Jan Kieniewicz, from OBTA and Civilizational Studies. Experiences and Prospects [...] reception studies view Antiquity as a cultural experience. In consequence, rather than the classical world as such, we examine the images of that world as created in subsequent epochs, in accordance with the assumption that each new deciphering of the classical legacy gives us knowledge about those who make the decoding in the first place. In this way, Classical Anti- quity becomes a reference point for generations, societies, and both small and large groups of culture recipients, wherever Mediterranean Civilization has managed to reach.
