Cassiodorus Chronicle Edition Mommsen, 1894; English Translation Bouke Procee, 2014
Cassiodorus Chronicle Edition Mommsen, 1894; English translation Bouke Procee, 2014. Introduction Flavius Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus Senator (c. 485 – c. 585), commonly known as Cassiodorus, was a Roman statesman and writer, serving in the administration of Theoderic the Great, king of the Ostrogoths at Ravenna, Italy. Senator was part of his surname, not his rank. His best known work is his Variae, a letter collection, written as an example book for high official scribes. Cassiodorus wrote his chronicle for Eutharic, husband of Amalasuintha, the daughter of King Theoderic the Great, and heir apparent to Theoderic's throne. Most likely he did this in 519, the year that Eutharic was consul, together with Justin, the Eastern emperor. He used as sources material from Livy, Jerome, Prosper of Aquitaine and Eutropius, which he epitomized and adapted for his own purpose. Two manuscripts of Cassiodorus' chronicle survive: Parisinus Latinus 4860, a tenth-century manuscript, kept in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris; and Monacensis 14613, written in the eleventh century, and kept in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich. Mommsen published an edition based on these manuscripts in 1894, in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, Auctores Antiquissimi 11, pp. 109-1611. This edition is shown below, alongside the English translation. CHRONICA MAGNI AURELII CASSIODORI CHRONICLE OF MAGNUS AURELIUS CASSIODORUS SENATOR, vir SENATORIS v.c. et inl., ex questore sacri palatii, ex clarissimus and inlustris, ex-quaestor of the sacred palace, ex-consul, ex- cons. ord., ex mag. off., ppo atque patricii. magister officiorum, praetorian prefect and patrician. 1 PRAEFATIO.

The prose is razor sharp, and the tale is as impressively unsentimental as it is genuinely moving.” — Kirkus Reviews “Justice has penned another outstanding novel, the second in her Theodosian Women series…The role of the Christian church and its relationship with other religions in shaping the empire is narrated in a fluid, non-textbook style. This novel is a useful addition into the insights and workings of the Eastern Roman Empire. Highly recommended.” — Historical Novels Review; Editors’ Choice (Issue #94, November 2020) “A deftly written and impressively entertaining historical novel in which the author pays due attention to detail while ably crafting memorable characters and riveting plot twists and turns. “Dawn Empress” is the second title in author Faith Justice’s remarkable ‘Theodosian Women’ trilogy…especially recommended for community library Historical Fiction collections.” — Midwest Book Reviews “The historical setting is gorgeously written… The prose is beautiful, sprinkled with vivid descriptions. Justice brings to life historical characters and a history that I have not read about much. -

A Prosopographical Approach to Medieval Eurasian Nomads
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SZTE OJS Journals (University of Szeged / Szegedi Tudományegyetem) AGUSTÍ ALEMANY A Prosopographical Approach to Medieval Eurasian Nomads AGUSTÍ ALEMANY The major prosopographical works devoted to Eurasian empires include entries relating to “per- sons from outside the frontiers” of some relevance to these historical periods (or at least men- tioned by the sources), steppe nomads among them. However, the latter are paid secondary atten- tion, since the main objective of these works is often the study of the ruling elites (“Führungsschichten”) of the aforesaid empires. This paper discusses the usefulness, viability and methodology of prosopographical research collecting biographical data about Inner Asian and, more concretely, Medieval Eurasian nomads. In the last century – and especially in the last decades – several major works have been produced, dealing with the prosopography of the Roman (PIR1), Late Roman (PLRE2), Byzantine (PBE3, PBW4, PmbZ5, PLP6, EPLBHC / ΕΠΛΒΙΠ7), Paper funded by the Research Project FFI2014-58878P (Spain). 1 Prosopographia Imperii Romani saec.

The ultimate result will be to prove that there were significant and deliberate alterations made by Prosper and to create a critical edition and translation of the chronicle of 445. The methodology includes establishing Prosper’s place in the Latin chronicle tradition, his alleged role as secretary to Pope Leo, his supposed residence in Rome and his theological views.
