By Jason Q. Von Ehrenkrook a Dissertation Submitted in Partial SCULPTING IDOLATRY IN FLAVIAN ROME : (A N)I CONIC RHETORIC IN THE WRITINGS OF FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS by Jason Q. von Ehrenkrook A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Near Eastern Studies) in The University of Michigan 2009 Doctoral Committee: Professor Gabriele Boccaccini, Chair Professor Gary M. Beckman Professor Raymond H. Van Dam Associate Professor Brian B. Schmidt © Jason Q. von Ehrenkrook All Rights Reserved 2009 For my wife Becky and our children Brooke, Kaitlyn, Mikayla, and Tyler, with deepest affection ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Good scholarship does not emerge in a vacuum, and “original” ideas are never created ex nihilo. I am thus keenly aware of my debt, not only to the hundreds of scholars in print— including many not listed in the bibliography below—who have helped stimulate my thinking, but also to the numerous faculty members and fellow students at the University of Michigan whose collective efforts have enabled me to survive the rigors of graduate school and ultimately complete this dissertation. I wish especially to thank my dissertation chair, Prof. Gabriele Boccaccini, who has in these past few years modeled rigorous scholarship and gracious hospitality, stimulating his students’ minds both within and outside the classroom. It was in my inaugural semester of graduate school, during a seminar on Methodology in the Study of Second Temple Judaism, that Prof. Boccaccini first whet my appetite for this fascinating realm of scholarly research. A second Boccaccini seminar, one focused on the central protagonist of the present study (Flavius Josephus), was even more formative, opening my eyes to numerous possible lines of inquiry that have ultimately blossomed into this project. The breadth and depth of his own scholarly interests have been a particularly useful resource, and his critical reading of the ensuing pages has certainly helped to broaden my thinking and sharpen my arguments. Outside of the classroom and dissertation, Prof. Boccaccini has also made available numerous possibilities for professional advancement—e.g., introducing me to the vast and impressive network of iii scholars in the Enoch Seminar; offering several opportunities for editorial work and publication; etc.—for which I am extremely grateful. This dissertation includes a healthy dose of comparative material that falls outside of the more comfortable boundaries of my specialization, so I cannot image embarking on this project without the helpful perspectives of my remaining committee members. Prof. Raymond Van Dam first exposed me to the labyrinth of Roman history, and his attention to detail both in the present project and in various seminar papers has played a vital role in my intellectual development. Prof. Brian Schmidt’s knowledge of the Hebrew Bible and the iconography of Israelite culture were particularly crucial for the present study, and his incisive questions and comments brought into clearer focus several important methodological issues. Prof. Gary Beckman graciously volunteered to join my committee at a very late date, and although his specialization in Hittite studies may seem a bit remote to my own research, I am especially grateful for his careful reading of this dissertation, and especially for rescuing me from several potentially embarrassing mistakes. Although a medical leave of absence prevented his participation on the committee, Prof. Yaron Eliav deserves special thanks for his role in shaping the present study. Prof. Eliav first introduced me to the possibility of exploring material culture (statues) in literary texts, offering me for two consecutive summers a position as research assistant for the Interdisciplinary Statuary Project. My responsibility in this project was to begin collecting data for a sourcebook on statues in Greek literature, a task that happily exposed me to a broad range of comparative material relevant for the present study. Prof. Eliav also helped to guide me through the various phases of research, reading carefully iv and commenting thoroughly on preliminary drafts of each chapter. Without question, the success of this project is deeply indebted to his critical eye. An important disclaimer is perhaps in order. As Charles Darwin remarked in The Expressions and Emotions in Man and Animals , “it is always advisable to perceive clearly our ignorance” (p. 39). I would like to modify this expression slightly, noting that it is also always advisable to take full responsibility for our ignorance. It is thus in the spirit of Darwin that I exonerate those keen minds that have contributed to all that is positive in this dissertation by taking full responsibility for any mistakes, dubious argumentation or other shortcomings that may still remain in the ensuing pages. Many organizations at the University of Michigan were a source of financial and administrative assistance. The Program for the Study of Judaism and Christianity in Antiquity (JCA), formerly Judaism and Christianity in the Graeco-Roman World, has offered a deep well of intellectual opportunities and resources for which I am especially grateful. The Department of Near Eastern Studies has been particularly generous in its fellowships and teaching posts, as well as those few sudden occasions when I found myself in a deep financial pinch. Several other institutions have also been quite generous with research funding, allowing me to pursue my studies both here in the states and abroad, especially the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies, the Rackham Graduate School, the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, and the Michigan Center for Early Christian Studies. I wish also to thank my fellow students in the Department of Near Eastern Studies, and especially my colleagues in JCA. Harold (Hal) Ellens was the first friendly face to greet me in Ann Arbor, and shortly thereafter both James Waddell and Ron Ruark v welcomed me into the program. Our little grad group soon began to expand, and it has been my privilege to develop friendships with several other students both in and outside the classroom, including Justin Winger, Anne Kreps, Stephanie Bolz, Isaac Oliver, and Jacob Feeley. Our many delightful conversations—usually stimulating, but occasionally juvenile—in the hallways of the Frieze Building (RIP) and the Thayer Academic Building, as well as our occasional journeys to various locations around the Mediterranean, were often a source of encouragement and happiness in the midst of anxiety and stress. Also deserving mention is the weekly brown-bagging HA cohort—the aforementioned Justin and Isaac, along with Craig Tyson—whose company helped keep me sane in these last few years. I would not be celebrating the completion of a Ph.D. without a tremendously supportive family. My parents, James and Joyce von Ehrenkrook, brought me into a stable, nurturing home, and although money was never in abundance, they modeled the virtues of hard work and selfless love. While I suspect that my siblings—Cherie, Todd and Julie—could care less about my seemingly arcane interests, they nevertheless have encouraged and supported me along the way. My brother-in-law Doug Finkbeiner was a constant source of inspiration and intellectual stimulation, especially after we both began working simultaneously on Josephan dissertations (his conducted at the University of Pennsylvania). It is a happy coincidence to have a family member with similar research interests, especially during those rare moments when we could steal away from the chaos of a family gathering, find a quiet space (not an easy task with the 20+ children running around!) and engage in a stimulating conversation about Josephus. vi Finally, my wife and children—to whom this dissertation is dedicated—deserve special recognition. As a graduate student and parent of four, I was a distinct minority in the university culture, signaled especially by the raised eyebrows and shocked expressions of those who happened to hear of my large brood. And yet, notwithstanding the additional responsibilities this entails—diapers, nightly bedtime rituals, afterschool homework, etc.—I cannot imagine surviving graduate school without them. They have brought a much needed sense of perspective, a constant reminder that what I think about Josephus matters very little in the grand scheme of things, and their laughter and affection have been a continuous source of joy and satisfaction. My wife Becky in particular has been enormously supportive and encouraging throughout this process, and it is deeply satisfying to now complete this journey, and embark on a new one, alongside my partner, lover and best friend. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION ........................................................................................................................ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ......................................................................................................iii LIST OF FIGURES ................................................................................................................ x LIST OF APPENDICES ......................................................................................................... xi LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ..................................................................................................xii ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................ xvi CHAPTER 1.

  • Profile of a Plant: the Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE By
    Profile of a Plant: The Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE by Benjamin Jon Graham A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Paolo Squatriti, Chair Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes Professor Richard P. Tucker Professor Raymond H. Van Dam © Benjamin J. Graham, 2014 Acknowledgements Planting an olive tree is an act of faith. A cultivator must patiently protect, water, and till the soil around the plant for fifteen years before it begins to bear fruit. Though this dissertation is not nearly as useful or palatable as the olive’s pressed fruits, its slow growth to completion resembles the tree in as much as it was the patient and diligent kindness of my friends, mentors, and family that enabled me to finish the project. Mercifully it took fewer than fifteen years. My deepest thanks go to Paolo Squatriti, who provoked and inspired me to write an unconventional dissertation. I am unable to articulate the ways he has influenced my scholarship, teaching, and life. Ray Van Dam’s clarity of thought helped to shape and rein in my run-away ideas. Diane Hughes unfailingly saw the big picture—how the story of the olive connected to different strands of history. These three people in particular made graduate school a humane and deeply edifying experience. Joining them for the dissertation defense was Richard Tucker, whose capacious understanding of the history of the environment improved this work immensely. In addition to these, I would like to thank David Akin, Hussein Fancy, Tom Green, Alison Cornish, Kathleen King, Lorna Alstetter, Diana Denney, Terre Fisher, Liz Kamali, Jon Farr, Yanay Israeli, and Noah Blan, all at the University of Michigan, for their benevolence.

  • Migration of Eretz Yisrael Arabs Between December 1, 1947 and June 1, 1948
    [Intelligence Service (Arab Section)] June 30, 1948 Migration of Eretz Yisrael Arabs between December 1, 1947 and June 1, 1948 Contents 1. General introduction. 2. Basic figures on Arab migration 3. National phases of evacuation and migration 4. Causes of Arab migration 5. Arab migration trajectories and absorption issues Annexes 1. Regional reviews analyzing migration issues in each area [Missing from document] 2. Charts of villages evacuated by area, noting the causes for migration and migration trajectories for every village General introduction The purpose of this overview is to attempt to evaluate the intensity of the migration and its various development phases, elucidate the different factors that impacted population movement directly and assess the main migration trajectories. Of course, given the nature of statistical figures in Eretz Yisrael in general, which are, in themselves, deficient, it would be difficult to determine with certainty absolute numbers regarding the migration movement, but it appears that the figures provided herein, even if not certain, are close to the truth. Hence, a margin of error of ten to fifteen percent needs to be taken into account. The figures on the population in the area that lies outside the State of Israel are less accurate, and the margin of error is greater. This review summarizes the situation up until June 1st, 1948 (only in one case – the evacuation of Jenin, does it include a later occurrence). Basic figures on Arab population movement in Eretz Yisrael a. At the time of the UN declaration [resolution] regarding the division of Eretz Yisrael, the following figures applied within the borders of the Hebrew state: 1.

  • 1 Introduction Paper Title the Marcan Concept of Discipleship: An
    Introduction Paper title The Marcan concept of discipleship: An exegesis of Mark 8.27-10.52. Focal theory The concept of discipleship which involves ‘taking up one’s cross’ within the daily Christian experience remains a challenging and often distant concept for modern Christians within affluent communities. Purpose of the paper The purpose of the paper is to explore the Marcan concept of discipleship through an exegesis of Mark 8.27-10.52. The paper’s hypothesis is that whilst recognizing that Mark provides a complex soteriology’,1 and a multi-faceted Christology, the evn th/| o`dw/| motif contained within the focus passage, understood in the light of the Son of Man’s earthly and eschatological roles, incorporates key Marcan theology that directly addresses the understanding of discipleship within the modern context. 1 The complex soteriology within Mark has attracted much debate, particularly focusing on the so-called ‘ransom saying’ of 10.45, a debate that can be traced back to the subjective and objective view of the atonement as classically understood by Abelhard (subjective) and Anselm (objective). Stott provides an excellent overview of the history of the debate between the objective and the subjective views of the atonement (see John R.W. Stott, The Cross of Christ (Leicester, UK: Inter-Varsity Press, 1986), pp. 17-351). Within modern scholarship, some such as Allison opting for a more ‘Jewish’ understanding of Jesus’ death (partly as a result of the understandings gained in the so-called ‘Third Quest’ for the historical Jesus), and others such as Hengel opting for an approach based on an understanding of the early kerygmatic preaching of the apostles.

Lang Dedicated to Eugene Vanderpool o American School of Classical Studies at Athens ISBN 87661-617-1 Produced by the Meriden Gravure Company Meriden, Connecticut COVER: Bone figure of Socrates TITLE PAGE: Hemlock SOCRATES IN THE AGORA AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY 1978 ‘Everything combines to make our knowledge of Socrates himself a subject of Socratic irony. The only thing we know definitely about him is that we know nothing.’ -L. Brunschvicg As FAR AS we know Socrates himselfwrote nothing, yet not only were his life and words given dramatic attention in his own time in the Clouds of Ar- istophanes, but they have also become the subject of many others’ writing in the centuries since his death. Fourth-century B.C. writers who had first-hand knowledge of him composed either dialogues in which he was the dominant figure (Plato and Aeschines) or memories of his teaching and activities (Xe- nophon). Later authors down even to the present day have written numerous biographies based on these early sources and considering this most protean of philosophers from every possible point of view except perhaps the topograph- ical one which is attempted here. Instead of putting Socrates in the context of 5th-century B.C. philosophy, politics, ethics or rhetoric, we shall look to find him in the material world and physical surroundings of his favorite stamping- grounds, the Athenian Agora. Just as ‘agora’ in its original sense meant ‘gathering place’ but came in time to mean ‘market place’, so the agora itself was originally a gathering place I.

    82 GREZIA ETA ERROMAKO PERTSONAIA MITOLOGIKOAK --- ARAU OSATUA, EGUNERATUA ETA EMENDATUA 1- 1998ko araua 1998an, 82. araua onartu zuen Euskaltzaindiak: Grezia eta Erromako pertsonaia mitologikoak. Arauak ez zuen sarrerarik izan, baina oin-ohar bat zuen irizpideei jatorria zein zen jakinazteko. Hona hemen: (*) Zerrenda hauek osatzeko erabili diren irizpideak, 76. Araua, hots, “Latin eta greziar pertsona- izen klasikoak euskaraz emateko irizpideei buruzko erabakia” gauzatzeko erabilitakoak dira. 2- Arau osatua, eguneratua eta emendatua Hamazazpi urte igaro dira arauaren lehen bertsio hura plazaratu zenetik, eta, latin eta greziar pertsona-izen klasikoen arauan bezala, gaur egun euskara batuan argitaratzen diren lanetan (eskola-liburuak, entziklopediak, hiztegiak, literatura, komunikabideak…), guztiz hedatuta dago arauan emandako eredua. Bigarren bertsio honetan, osatu egin da orduko zerrenda hura, eta hartan agertzen ez diren zenbait izen erantsi. Arauaren lehen bertsioak 249 izen bildu zituen. Orain, 83 izen gehiago erantsi dira, eta Fenizia eta Kartagoko hiru jainko-jainkosa nagusi ere sartu dira (zerrendan Latina /Grekoa zutabea hutsik duten izenak dira). Beraz, 335 mitonimoz osatutako izendegi bat du arauaren bigarren bertsioak. Gainera, 1998ko zerrendan, gaztelaniazko eta frantsesezko ordainak bai baina ingelesezko ordainak ez ziren eman; orain, erantsi egin dira ingelesezko ordainak, kanpoko leku- eta pertsona-izenen gainerako arauetan egin ohi den bezala. Zerrendara bildu diren izaki mitologiko horietako batzuk multzo-izenak dira, eta pluralean erabili ohi dira. Haietako bakoitzak zenbait mitonimo biltzen ditu; gehienetan, mugatuak dira (Pleiadeak zazpi ziren; Eniriak, hiru; Furiak eta Graziak ere hiru ziren …), eta letra larriz hasita idatzi ohi dira; badira beste horrelako multzo-izen batzuk, zenbait izaki mitologikoren kopuru mugagabea edo oso handia dutenak, hala nola ninfak, sirenak, nereidak, larak, manak, ozeanideak, naiadeak…; halakoak erabat letra xehez idatzi ohi dira, eta lexiko arrunteko hiztegietan agertu ohi dira.
