    ΟN THE ALIENATION OF THE DOWRY Remarks concerning the application of the Senatus Consultum Velleianum and διδασκαλία τοῦ νόμου in Byzantine law* Introduction Justinian’s 530 A.D. constitution C. 5,13,1,15 prohibited the alienation of the unassessed dowry by the husband, even with the wife’s consent. The ruling reads as follows: Et cum lex Iulia fundi dotalis Italici alienationem prohibebat fieri a marito non consentiente muliere, hypothecam autem nec si mulier consentiebat, interrogati sumus, si oportet huiusmodi sanctionem non super Ιtalicis tantummodo fundis, sed pro omnibus locum habere. Placet itaque nobis eandem observationem non tantum in Italicis fundis, sed etiam in provincialibus extendi. cum autem hypothecam etiam ex hac lege donavimus, sufficiens habet remedium mulier, et si maritus fundum alienare voluerit. Sed ne ex consensu mulieris hypoth- ecae eius minuantur, necessarium est et in hac parte mulieribus subvenire hoc tantummodo addito, ut fundum dotalem non solum hypothecae titulo dare nec consentiente muliere maritus possit, sed nec alienare, ne fragilitate naturae suae in repentinam deducatur inopiam. Licet enim Anastasiana lex de consentientibus mulieribus vel suo iuri renuntiantibus loquitur, tamen eam intellegi oportet in res mariti vel dotis quidem, aestimatas autem, in quibus dominium et periculum mariti est: in fundo autem inaestimato, qui et dotalis proprie nuncupatur, maneat ius intactum, ex lege quidem Ιulia imperfectum, ex nostra autem auctoritate plenum atque in omnibus terris effusum et non tantum Italicis et sola hypotheca conclusum. * An earlier version of this paper was presented at the 23rd International Congress of Byzantine Studies, held in Belgrade, August 22-27, 2016 at a Round Table entitled ‘Law as a Means of Change in Byzantium’.

A.D. 692. Elenchus. Introductory Note. The Canons with the Ancient Epitome and Notes. Excursus to Canon VI., On the Marriage of the Clergy. Introductory Note. 356 From the fact that the canons of the Council in Trullo are included in this volume of the Decrees and Canons of the Seven Ecumenical Councils it must not for an instant be supposed that it is intended thereby to affirm that these canons have any ecumenical authority, or that the council by which they were adopted can lay any claim to being ecumenical either in view of its constitution or of the subsequent treatment by the Church of its enactments. It is true that it claimed at the time an ecumenical character, and styled itself such in several of its canons, it is true that in the mind of the Emperor Justinian II., who summoned it, it was intended to have been ecumenical. It is true that the Greeks at first declared it to be a continuation of the Sixth Synod and that by this name they frequently denominate and quote its canons. But it is also true that the West was not really represented at it at all (as we shall see presently); that when the Emperor afterwards sent the canons to the Pope to receive his signature, he absolutely refused to have anything to do with them; and it is further true that they were never practically observed by the West at all, and that even in the East their authority was rather theoretical than real.

  • Byzantine Critiques of Monasticism in the Twelfth Century
    A “Truly Unmonastic Way of Life”: Byzantine Critiques of Monasticism in the Twelfth Century DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hannah Elizabeth Ewing Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Professor Timothy Gregory, Advisor Professor Anthony Kaldellis Professor Alison I. Beach Copyright by Hannah Elizabeth Ewing 2014 Abstract This dissertation examines twelfth-century Byzantine writings on monasticism and holy men to illuminate monastic critiques during this period. Drawing upon close readings of texts from a range of twelfth-century voices, it processes both highly biased literary evidence and the limited documentary evidence from the period. In contextualizing the complaints about monks and reforms suggested for monasticism, as found in the writings of the intellectual and administrative elites of the empire, both secular and ecclesiastical, this study shows how monasticism did not fit so well in the world of twelfth-century Byzantium as it did with that of the preceding centuries. This was largely on account of developments in the role and operation of the church and the rise of alternative cultural models that were more critical of traditional ascetic sanctity. This project demonstrates the extent to which twelfth-century Byzantine society and culture had changed since the monastic heyday of the tenth century and contributes toward a deeper understanding of Byzantine monasticism in an under-researched period of the institution. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my family, and most especially to my parents. iii Acknowledgments This dissertation is indebted to the assistance, advice, and support given by Anthony Kaldellis, Tim Gregory, and Alison Beach.

  • Byzantine Names for SCA Personae
    1 A Short (and rough) Guide to Byzantine Names for SCA personae This is a listing of names that may be useful for constructing Byzantine persona. Having said that, please note that the term „Byzantine‟ is one that was not used in the time of the Empire. They referred to themselves as Romans. Please also note that this is compiled by a non-historian and non-linguist. When errors are detected, please let me know so that I can correct them. Additional material is always welcomed. It is a work in progress and will be added to as I have time to research more books. This is the second major revision and the number of errors picked up is legion. If you have an earlier copy throw it away now. Some names of barbarians who became citizens are included. Names from „client states‟ such as Serbia and Bosnia, as well as adversaries, can be found in my other article called Names for other Eastern Cultures. In itself it is not sufficient documentation for heraldic submission, but it will give you ideas and tell you where to start looking. The use of (?) means that either I have nothing that gives me an idea, or that I am not sure of what I have. If there are alternatives given of „c‟, „x‟ and „k‟ modern scholarship prefers the „k‟. „K‟ is closer to the original in both spelling and pronunciation.

  • The Pontifical Institute of Oriental Studies
    THE PONTIFICAL INSTITUTE OF ORIENTAL STUDIES -------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE ------ LITURGICAL LEGISLATOR --------------------------------------- IN THE ------------- UKRAINIAN CHURCH ------------------------------- A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Pontifical Oriental Institute of Oriental Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Oriental Ecclesiastical Sciences By Rev. Peter Skcrincosky Priest of the Eparchy of Stamford Director: Very Rev. Alphonse Raes, S.J. Rome – 1963 FOREWORD ------------------ In the last two decades, the Holy See assumed, in a practical and effective manner, the legislative authority for liturgical matter in the Ukrainian Catholic Church. In 1941 it promulgated a liturgikon for the Ruthenians. This was followed by an Ordo Celebrationis (in 1944), which spelled out in greater detail the manner of celebrating the Divine Liturgy, matins and vespers. Other service books followed. 1 Again, Pope Pius XII, in 1957, promulgated his Motu Proprio, Clergi Sanctitati, in which he clearly defined, what had been already established for the Latin Church in the Code of Canon Law, namely, that the supreme liturgical authority in the Eastern rites is the Holy See. The latter fact defined what the Holy See already enjoyed. But it was the first explicit law which established the fact that the liturgical authority for the Oriental rites is the Holy Father. Previously, some moral or physical person was responsible for any new liturgical laws and authentic interpretation thereof. It is our aim in this dissertation to determine who the traditional legislator is, not for all Oriental rites, but specifically for the Byzantine-Ukrainian rite. Furthermore, our scope will be to demonstrate the different stages in which the Holy See has appeared as the supreme liturgical legislator, using the liturgical history of the Ukrainian Church as our basis.

  • The ￢ﾀﾜmusical Question￢ﾀﾝ and the Educated Elite of Greek
    The “Musical Question” and the Educated Elite of Greek Orthodox Society in Late Nineteenth-Century Constantinople Merih Erol Journal of Modern Greek Studies, Volume 32, Number 1, May 2014, pp. 133-163 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/mgs.2014.0001 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/550848 Access provided by Brown University (6 Jun 2017 01:49 GMT) The “Musical Question” and the Educated Elite of Greek Orthodox Society in Late Nineteenth-Century Constantinople Merih Erol Abstract In the course of the nineteenth century, music became a significant site of social and cultural identification for the educated Greek Orthodox elite in Constantinople. Through a debate on music, the meaning, limits, and his- torical roots of the nation and Greekness were defined and contested. This article explores the musical discourse produced by Constantinopolitan Greek Orthodox literate groups within the context of a range of broader issues such as class formation, social and national identity, the “ecumenist” politics of the Orthodox Patriarchate, and the ongoing processes of Westernization and modernization, which affected not only the Greek Orthodox but the wider Ottoman society. This was a period of rapid change in the empire especially in the spheres of the economy, administration, and law, as a result of which the administration and organization of the Rum millet were established on new principles. Based on newspapers, journals, the statutes of the voluntary musical associations, articles and treatises of musicological interest, and the printed collections of secular songs, this article demonstrates the variety and complexity of the positions and discourses of cultural identity which existed in the Greek Orthodox community of Constantinople in the second half of the nineteenth century.

  • Rome and Constantinople, Popes and Patriarchs, 1204-1453
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Empires Reshaped and Reimagined: Rome and Constantinople, Popes and Patriarchs, 1204-1453 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Natalie Sherwan 2016 © Copyright by Natalie Sherwan 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Empires Reshaped and Reimagined: Rome and Constantinople, Popes and Patriarchs, 1204-1453 by Natalie Sherwan Doctor of Philosophy, History University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Patrick Geary, Co-chair Professor Claudia Rapp, Co-chair This dissertation discusses the politics of conquest and the strategies of legitimization pursued by Latin, Greek and Slav contenders for hegemonic rule in the northeastern Mediterranean after the collapse of the Byzantine Empire in the wake of the fourth crusade. It reevaluates the relationship between the concepts of empire and Christendom as played out in the process of political realignment, and closely examines the ways in which the key actors claiming to represent these concepts - emperors, popes, patriarchs - fought or cooperated with one another in order to assert regional preeminence. ii The first part of the dissertation focuses on the tension between the Roman/Byzantine ideal of universalism, which entailed a sole holder of imperial power, and the concrete reality of several empires coexisting within the same geographical area. Chapters one and two provide a survey of the main theoretical issues encountered in the study of medieval empires, and an assessment of the relationship between Byzantine basileis, patriarchs, popes and Western emperors prior to 1204. Chapters three and four investigate the competing but interconnected ruling systems which emerged in the Balkans, the Aegean and Asia Minor after 1204, tracing their policies of war and appeasement until the recovery of Constantinople by the Nicene Greeks in 1261.
