    Book I. Title XXVII. Concerning the office of the Praetor Prefect of Africa and concerning the whole organization of that diocese. (De officio praefecti praetorio Africae et de omni eiusdem dioeceseos statu.) Headnote. Preliminary. For a better understanding of the following chapters in the Code, a brief outline of the organization of the Roman Empire may be given, but historical works will have to be consulted for greater details. The organization as contemplated in the Code was the one initiated by Diocletian and Constantine the Great in the latter part of the third and the beginning of the fourth century of the Christian era, and little need be said about the time previous to that. During the Republican period, Rome was governed mainly by two consuls, tow or more praetors (C. 1.39 and note), quaestors (financial officers and not to be confused with the imperial quaestor of the later period, mentioned at C. 1.30), aediles and a prefect of food supply. The provinces were governed by ex-consuls and ex- praetors sent to them by the Senate, and these governors, so sent, had their retinue of course. After the empire was established, the provinces were, for a time, divided into senatorial and imperial, the later consisting mainly of those in which an army was required. The senate continued to send out ex-consuls and ex-praetors, all called proconsuls, into the senatorial provinces. The proconsul was accompanied by a quaestor, who was a financial officer, and looked after the collection of the revenue, but who seems to have been largely subservient to the proconsul.

  • Pagan Survivals, Superstitions and Popular Cultures in Early Medieval Pastoral Literature
    Bernadette Filotas PAGAN SURVIVALS, SUPERSTITIONS AND POPULAR CULTURES IN EARLY MEDIEVAL PASTORAL LITERATURE Is medieval pastoral literature an accurate reflection of actual beliefs and practices in the early medieval West or simply of literary conventions in- herited by clerical writers? How and to what extent did Christianity and traditional pre-Christian beliefs and practices come into conflict, influence each other, and merge in popular culture? This comprehensive study examines early medieval popular culture as it appears in ecclesiastical and secular law, sermons, penitentials and other pastoral works – a selective, skewed, but still illuminating record of the be- liefs and practices of ordinary Christians. Concentrating on the five cen- turies from c. 500 to c. 1000, Pagan Survivals, Superstitions and Popular Cultures in Early Medieval Pastoral Literature presents the evidence for folk religious beliefs and piety, attitudes to nature and death, festivals, magic, drinking and alimentary customs. As such it provides a precious glimpse of the mu- tual adaptation of Christianity and traditional cultures at an important period of cultural and religious transition.

    Links & Lerters 4, 1997 39-51 Re-'Placing' the Postcolonial Nation: Narration, Nationalism and Satire in Gabriel García Márquez's The Azltzlmn of the Patriarch Stephanie Newell University of Stirling July 1996 Abstract The tensions and silences within influential «postcolonial»theories, the majority of which are written and published from locations in the First World, can be explored by opening them to a critica1 dialogue with works of so-called «postcolonial» literature. In many respects, these narratives, which are international in readership yet written in Third World locations, challenge the concepr of «postcoloniality»itself; the works of writers like Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Bessie Head and Gabriel García Márquez manifest a lococentrism, an investment in a national place which runs counter to the emphasis on migration, dis- placement and exile prevailing in current «postcolonial» theory. Focusing upon Gabriel García Márquez's The Autumn of the Patriarch (1975), the article explores the ways that the novel might be used to critique and displace some of the key theoretical presupposi- tions that pervade the most popular of postcolonial theories. 1 will be suggesting that, through the use of satire, Márquez is positively reinstating and «placing»what will emerge against the postcolonial theorists as an open-ended and dynamic nationalism.

    Athens between East and West: Athenian Elite Self-Presentation and the Durability of Traditional Cult in Late Antiquity Edward Watts T IS GENERALLY ACCEPTED that the urban centers of the Greek-speaking east more quickly dismantled traditional religious infrastructure and disrupted traditional religious I 1 customs than did cities in the west. The city of Athens, how- ever, has always fit awkwardly in this narrative. Alexandria, long Athens’ rival for cultural supremacy in the Greek world, saw its urban infrastructure violently and effectively Christian- ized in the early 390s by the campaigns and construction projects of the bishop Theophilus.2 Alexandria’s civic and political life arguably followed suit after the violence that accompanied the consolidation of episcopal power by Theo- philus’ successor Cyril and the murder of the philosopher Hypatia in the early 410s.3 Antioch and its hinterland saw its pagan institutions disrupted gradually, first through isolated incidents like the conversion (and ultimate destruction) of the 1 See, among others, C.

  • "Power" in Literature and Society
    “POWER” IN LITERATURE AND SOCIETY The “Double” in Gabriel García Márquez’s The Autumn of the Patriarch José Anadón Working Paper #125 - August 1989 José Anadón is Associate Professor in the Department of Romance Languages and Literature at the University of Notre Dame. His research focuses primarily on the Latin American colonial period and also includes some aspects of contemporary literature. The following books are among his publications: Pineda y Bascuñán, defensor del araucano (1977), Prosistas coloniales del siglo XVII (1978), La novela colonial de Barrenechea y Albis (1983), La Suma y Epílogo de Pineda y Bascuñán (1984), Historiografía literaria de América Colonial (1988), and Gabriela Mistral: Historia de una Amistad (1989). The idea of this paper was suggested to the author by his participation in Notre Dame’s CORE program during the 1988-1989 school year. The author extends his thanks to all of those who read this manuscript and offered their valuable comments: to his departmental colleagues, Steven Bell and María Rosa Olivera-Williams, and to Roberto DaMatta, Randolph Klawiter, Al Nieman, James Powell, and Samuel Valenzuela. ABSTRACT This study explores some rhetorical and socio-political implications of “power” in The Autumn of the Patriarch by Gabriel García Márquez. These implications are approached through the figure of the “double”, which is one of the modalities ascribed to the literature of the fantastic. García Márquez's novel is viewed as an original reflection on the use and abuse of power. Although the author treats these issues comprehensively through the character of the tyrant and his double, he makes surprising allusions to himself, to writing, and to all people.

They were fragmented for several centuries and became more intense in the XVII-XVIII centuries. Since the second half of the XVIII century when Russia’s southern border reached the Caucasus ridge, Russia’s political and ecclesiastical interests in Georgia have grown. This interest is well reflected in the agreements concluded between Russia and Georgia during this period. lthough the treaty between Kartl-Kakheti and Russia in 1783 did not address the issue of the autocephaly of the Georgian Church, Article 8 of the treaty severely restricted its rights. The A Archbishop of the centuries-old Autocephalous Church of Georgia was to occupy the eighth place in the Russian Holy Synod after the Peter I, Bishop of the Tobolsk Eparchy. When signing the treaty, the King of Russia Georgian ambassadors (Garsevan Chavchavadze and Ioane (1682-1721) Mukhranbatoni) protested this article since the Georgian and Emperor (1721-1725) Archbishop was to be ranked fifth among the first-tier Russian bishops according to the previously agreed draft version of the agreement.
