First he is indebted to Moses Bailey and Alexander Sperber who introduced him to the labyrinth of the Onomastica of the Bible before World War II. Thanks to Ernest Wright who in his concern for the non-classically trained seminarians and neophyte archaeologists suggested this English translation of the Onomasticon reputed to be Eusebius' as a sabbatical project. Thanks to Edward Campbell for his insistence on an article for the Biblical Archaeologist (Sept. 1964, xxvii, 3) which forms the basis for the introductory critical remarks in this edition and are used by permission of the American Schools of Oriental Research whose Jerusalem building was the seat for much of the research. Thanks to the trustees of Harvard University for permission to quote from the Thackeray translation of Josephus’ Antiquities in the Loeb Classical Library. A special thanks to the host of geographers who have labored over the Onomasticon including among many Conder, Buhl, Thomsen, Abel, Albright, Avi-Yonah, Glueck, O’Callaghan, Kallai, Melamed, and Mittmann. The basic text of Klostermann, published in 1904, with reference to Lagarde, has been used in this translation. C. Umhau Wolf, December 24, 1971 |ix Translator’s Preface This English edition of the Onomasticon is the first in the Western languages. It is a fairly literal translation of the Greek text and is not intended for the classics scholar but for those who are not versed in Greek, Latin and Hebrew, but are interested in the geography and archaeology of the Holy Land. It is not intended for textual critics of the Bible or of the Onomasticon although some of the notes and appendices include variants and textual materials. To avoid a double translation, the Greek and Latin have been conflated except for the final editor’s Introduction which varies greatly in the two languages. Parentheses ( ) are used to indicate minor variations in the Latin from the presumed earlier Greek text. Brackets [ ] are used to indicate either a lacuna in the Greek text which has been emended from the Latin or an addition of significance made by the Latin editors. The notes on individual entries also indicate which of these occur in any given section. The notes that follow the translation are not an attempt at a biblical geography for which the reader has access to many good volumes. They do not attempt an archaeological survey of the Holy Land. The notes emphasize late Roman and Byzantine sites and sources especially when the Onomasticon 's text makes some attempt to locate and identify a place or where the text is confused. Not all Old Testament or New Testament sites are mentioned in the Onomasticon and many of those which are have not been located in the Greek and Latin texts so are not located or identified in these notes. Again reference to a biblical atlas or geography is to be had for this detailed study. New theories of identification and new archaeological discoveries are appearing with great frequency. Some updating of the Onomasticon locations is to be continuously in the works. The most recent studies are by Avi-Yonah, Melamed and Mittmann with single studies appearing in Israeli journals (Israel Exploration Journal , Eretz-Israel , and Tarbiz ) and others ( Biblical Archaeologist , Revue Biblique, Palestine Exploration Fund Quarterly , Zeitschrift des Deutschen Palästina-Vereins , Deutsche Palästina-Verein , etc.). |x Digitizer’s Note I decided to proof and edit this manuscript soon after my father’s death. My father, Dr. C(arl). Umhau Wolf, had spent more than four years of research, translation, and writing on this Onomasticon project. Originally the Catholic University of America Press had requested the translation but when the draft of the manuscript was sent to the press they decided that the translation was too scholarly for their planned use in their Fathers of the Church series. Even though he referred to the Onomasticon 's translation as "just a laundry list," I wanted the translation to be more accessible than just gathering dust in a file drawer. The aged manuscript has faded making some entries difficult to read and this has caused difficulty with the output from the optical scanner. I have spent almost a year correcting the scanned manuscript and hope that the final version has few errors. The manuscript should be considered a draft manuscript and not a final draft for publication. I did very few editorial changes since my background in electronics and library science leaves me quite ignorant of this subject. I have added the Onomasticon’s translation’s Sections to the End notes. I have used diacritical marks only where indicated in the original manuscript since there are some places that the name differs only due to a diacritical mark. This causes a double entry in the index for those places and names that have been used with and without the diacritical marks.

    2 Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek? Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek? A Concise Compendium of the Many Internal and External Evidences of Aramaic Peshitta Primacy Publication Edition 1a, May 2008 Compiled by Raphael Christopher Lataster Edited by Ewan MacLeod Cover design by Stephen Meza © Copyright Raphael Christopher Lataster 2008 Foreword 3 Foreword A New and Powerful Tool in the Aramaic NT Primacy Movement Arises I wanted to set down a few words about my colleague and fellow Aramaicist Raphael Lataster, and his new book “Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek?” Having written two books on the subject myself, I can honestly say that there is no better free resource, both in terms of scope and level of detail, available on the Internet today. Much of the research that myself, Paul Younan and so many others have done is here, categorized conveniently by topic and issue. What Raphael though has also accomplished so expertly is to link these examples with a simple and unambiguous narrative style that leaves little doubt that the Peshitta Aramaic New Testament is in fact the original that Christians and Nazarene-Messianics have been searching for, for so long. The fact is, when Raphael decides to explore a topic, he is far from content in providing just a few examples and leaving the rest to the readers’ imagination. Instead, Raphael plumbs the depths of the Aramaic New Testament, and offers dozens of examples that speak to a particular type. Flip through the “split words” and “semi-split words” sections alone and you will see what I mean.

  • Book Reviews
    BOOK REVIEWS LAW AND NARRATIVE IN THE BIBLE: THE EVIDENCE OF THE DEUTERONOMIC LAWS AND THE DECALOGUE. By Calum M. Carmi- chael. Ithaca: Cornell University, 1985. Pp. 356. $35. This book should appeal to both legal historians and biblical scholars. Carmichael is professor of comparative literature and biblical studies at Cornell, and he has devoted many years to the study of Israel's legal traditions. To be sure, his research and publication have not followed conventional lines, and the thesis sustained here will not go unchallenged. Briefly, the proposition is that the laws in Deuteronomy and the Deca­ logue (only 30 pages are given specifically to the latter segment) have as their background or inspiration some incident in the biblical narrative rather than a specific historical situation in life which they are meant to address. "The laws in both Deuteronomy and the decalogue arise not as a direct, practical response to the conditions of life and worship in Israel's past, as is almost universally held, but from a scrutiny of historical records about these conditions. The link is between law and literary account, not between law and actual life" (17). This challenges the prevailing view that Israelite law, in both its apodictic and casuistic forms, laid down rules for the healthy and equi­ table functioning of a community settled in the land. It is precisely on this point, the relationship between formulated law and its antecedent cause, that the legal historian may have the decisive word, even allowing for the uniquely sacred character of biblical law and the narrative to which it is associated.

  • Jerome's Women Creating Identity and Fashioning Scholars
    Jerome’s Women Creating Identity and Fashioning Scholars Judith Margaret Nichols, M.LITT., B.A., GRAD.DIP.TESL. This Thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Western Australia School of Humanities Classics and Ancient History 2014 i Preface Jerome’s writings first came to my attention as an undergraduate. I was attracted by the vividness of his writing but puzzled that the female recipients of his correspondence tolerated such a vain, irascible and misogynistic mentor. I took my initial, tentative thesis to Dr Neil O’Sullivan, Discipline Chair of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Western Australia and Dr Michael Champion who listened patiently and encouraged me to persevere with a doctoral thesis. I am grateful to both men for their advice and suggestions in shaping this work. Dr O’Sullivan’s command of the classics pointed me in new and interesting directions. Dr Champion was extremely forbearing in listening to every new idea, commenting helpfully on successive drafts and making mentoring sessions enjoyable. I would also like to acknowledge the loving support of my husband, Tony, and our four adult children who have encouraged me and accepted my preoccupation without reproach. The translations in the thesis are my own, except where otherwise acknowledged. Translations of certain commentators have been included as reference points to my own and I have indicated where my interpretations differ from theirs. The standard unpunctuated Vulgate is among the texts that I regard as significant. ii iii Abstract This thesis studies the creation of identities and the role women play in Jerome’s socio-political, scholarly and eschatologically-oriented theology for Rome.

  • The Function of Christian Letters of Recommendation; from Paul to Julian
    THE FUNCTION OF CHRISTIAN LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION; FROM PAUL TO JULIAN Jason File A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in t he Department of Religious Studies. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by: Bart Ehrman Zlatko Plese Peter Kaufmann ABSTRACT THE FUNCTION OF CHRISTIAN LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION; FROM PAUL TO JULIAN (Under the Direction of Bart D. Ehrman) This paper explores the function of Christian letters of recommendation, from the time of Paul (c. 50 CE) to the time of Emperor Julian (c. 350 CE). The first chapter provides background information concerning the function of letters of recommendation generally in antiquity. It is argued that the primary functions of such letters in Greco -Roman society was to provide hospitality for the traveler, and to testify to their trustworthiness. Where pagans used such letters for business or filial purposes, the early Chri stian church used them to build religious networks across the wide span of the Mediterranean world and the Levant. The second chapter of the thesis takes up the subject of hospitality practices in the Christian mission, and the third explores the use of letters of recommendation in the writings of the apostle Paul. Letters of recommendation were extremely important for the growth, spread and development of the Christian church. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter I. INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………….1 II.
