  • Practicing Love of God in Medieval Jerusalem, Gaul and Saxony
    he collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of TChristian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, reli- gious affiliation and gender. Among the diversity of cases, the studies presented in this volume exemplify recurring themes, which occupied the Christian believer, such as the veneration of the Cross, translation of architecture, pilgrimage and patronage, emergence of iconography and devotional patterns. These essays are representing the research results of the project “Practicing Love of God: Comparing Women’s and Men’s Practice in Medieval Saxony” guided by the art historian Galit Noga-Banai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the histori- an Hedwig Röckelein, Georg-August-University Göttingen. This project was running from 2013 to 2018 within the Niedersachsen-Israeli Program and financed by the State of Lower Saxony.

  • Y-Chromosomal Microsatellites and Genetic Affinity Between
    Genetics and the History of the Samaritans: Y-Chromosomal Microsatellites and Genetic AfÀnity between Samaritans and Cohanim 1,2 1 3 4 5 PETER J. OEFNER, GEORG HÖLZL, PEIDONG SHEN, ISAAC SHPIRER, DOV GEFEL, TAL 6 6 6 7 7 LAVI, EILON WOOLF, JONATHAN COHEN, CENGIZ CINNIOGLU, PETER A. UNDERHILL, 8 1 8,9 6 NOAH A. ROSENBERG, JOCHEN HOCHREIN, JULIE M. GRANKA, JOSSI HILLEL, AND 8 MARCUS W. FELDMAN Abstract The Samaritans are a group of some 750 indigenous Middle Eastern people, about half of whom live in Holon, a suburb of Tel Aviv, and the other half near Nablus. The Samaritan population is believed to have numbered more than a million in late Roman times but less than 150 in 1917. The ancestry of the Samaritans has been subject to controversy from late Biblical times to the present. In this study, liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization/quad- rupole ion trap mass spectrometry was used to allelotype 13 Y-chromosomal and 15 autosomal microsatellites in a sample of 12 Samaritans chosen to have as low a level of relationship as possible, and 461 Jews and non-Jews. Estimation of genetic distances between the Samaritans and seven Jewish and three non-Jewish populations from Israel, as well as populations from Africa, Pakistan, Turkey, and Europe, revealed that the Samaritans were closely related to Cohanim. This result supports the position of the Samaritans that they are descendants from the tribes of Israel dating to before the Assyrian exile in 722–720 BCE. In concordance with previously published single-nucleotide polymorphism haplotypes, each Samaritan family, with the exception of the Samaritan Cohen lineage, was observed to carry a distinctive Y-chromosome short tandem repeat haplotype that was not more than one mutation removed from the six-marker Cohen modal haplotype.

  • Jews and Samaritans
    Prejudice - Resource 8 JEWS AND SAMARITANS At the time of Jesus the land of Palestine PALESTINE IN THE 1st CENTURY was ruled by the Romans. It was split up PHOENICIA into different areas. Most Samaritans lived in Samaria. The Samaritans were different GALILEE from the Jewish people who lived in the Mediterranean Sea Capernaum surrounding areas in Palestine. Samaria •Lake was between Galilee in the north and Galilee Judea and Jerusalem in the south. The shortest way for Jewish people to go north Nazareth• from Jerusalem or south from Galilee was to travel through Samaria. • Caesarea River Jordan River However, for hundreds of years the Jews and the people of Samaria had been SAMARIA enemies. They did not agree about where God’s people should worship. Jews worshipped at the Temple in Jerusalem. The Samaritans had made another place PEREA for worship. It was in their land, on the top of a mountain. Jews and Samaritans hated each other. Jerusalem • Most Jews would not travel through Bethlehem Samaria. They went by a longer route to • avoid Samaria and any contact with Samaritans. JUDEA Dead Sea Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan after he had been asked by a Jewish man: “What must I do to receive eternal life?” Jesus asked him what the Jewish law said. He answered: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind and, love your neighbour as yourself.” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” The man then asked Jesus: “And who is my neighbour?” .

  • Spatially Interactive Literature Analysis System (SILAS): an Interactive Tool to Study the Narrative Landscape of Ancient Texts
    University of Redlands Spatially Interactive Literature Analysis System (SILAS): An Interactive Tool to Study the Narrative Landscape of Ancient Texts A Major Individual Project submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geographic Information Systems by Stephen T. Benzek Diana Stuart Sinton, Ph.D., Chair Lillian Larsen, Ph.D. July, 2008 Spatially Interactive Literature Analysis System (SILAS): An Interactive Tool to Study the Narrative Landscape of Ancient Texts Copyright © 2008 by Stephen T. Benzek ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Completing this project would not have happened without the support and assistance of colleagues, faculty, staff, classmates and friends. This includes the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and the Topographic Engineering Center who made this project (and the MS GIS program) my job for the past year. Thanks especially to my kind and extremely supportive boss, Mary-pat Santoro. The MS GIS program, led by Dr. Mark Kumler, provided unencumbered opportunities to learn whatever I felt was needed to complete SILAS while providing essential advice on GIS options and strategies. My advisor and committee chair, Dr. Diana Stuart Sinton, contributed an expert pedagogical focus in geography that elevated the level of scholarship and value of the project. Her exceptional management abilities helped me stay focused and on schedule throughout the nearly 12 months of execution. It is also no exaggeration to say that Dr. Bryan Baker’s unmatched knowledge of GIS web applications helped save this project from possible failure. SILAS owes much to the assistance of fellow students Daniel Smith and Ruth Costley who provided important feedback. Classmate Alex Quintero not only helped evaluate SILAS but also served as friend, sounding board and even workout partner.
