  • Byzantine Missionaries, Foreign Rulers, and Christian Narratives (Ca
    Conversion and Empire: Byzantine Missionaries, Foreign Rulers, and Christian Narratives (ca. 300-900) by Alexander Borislavov Angelov A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor John V.A. Fine, Jr., Chair Professor Emeritus H. Don Cameron Professor Paul Christopher Johnson Professor Raymond H. Van Dam Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes © Alexander Borislavov Angelov 2011 To my mother Irina with all my love and gratitude ii Acknowledgements To put in words deepest feelings of gratitude to so many people and for so many things is to reflect on various encounters and influences. In a sense, it is to sketch out a singular narrative but of many personal “conversions.” So now, being here, I am looking back, and it all seems so clear and obvious. But, it is the historian in me that realizes best the numerous situations, emotions, and dilemmas that brought me where I am. I feel so profoundly thankful for a journey that even I, obsessed with planning, could not have fully anticipated. In a final analysis, as my dissertation grew so did I, but neither could have become better without the presence of the people or the institutions that I feel so fortunate to be able to acknowledge here. At the University of Michigan, I first thank my mentor John Fine for his tremendous academic support over the years, for his friendship always present when most needed, and for best illustrating to me how true knowledge does in fact produce better humanity.

  • 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.

    A MEDIUM FOR MODERNISM: BRITISH POETRY AND AMERICAN AUDIENCES April 1997-August 1997 CASE 1 1. Photograph of Harriet Monroe. 1914. Archival Photographic Files Harriet Monroe (1860-1936) was born in Chicago and pursued a career as a journalist, art critic, and poet. In 1889 she wrote the verse for the opening of the Auditorium Theater, and in 1893 she was commissioned to compose the dedicatory ode for the World’s Columbian Exposition. Monroe’s difficulties finding publishers and readers for her work led her to establish Poetry: A Magazine of Verse to publish and encourage appreciation for the best new writing. 2. Joan Fitzgerald (b. 1930). Bronze head of Ezra Pound. Venice, 1963. On Loan from Richard G. Stern This portrait head was made from life by the American artist Joan Fitzgerald in the winter and spring of 1963. Pound was then living in Venice, where Fitzgerald had moved to take advantage of a foundry which cast her work. Fitzgerald made another, somewhat more abstract, head of Pound, which is in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Pound preferred this version, now in the collection of Richard G. Stern. Pound’s last years were lived in the political shadows cast by his indictment for treason because of the broadcasts he made from Italy during the war years. Pound was returned to the United States in 1945; he was declared unfit to stand trial on grounds of insanity and confined to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital for thirteen years. Stern’s novel Stitch (1965) contains a fictional account of some of these events.

    Glover’s and Fairburn’s Inklings Lindsay Rollo Trade journals issued by New Zealand companies, as distinct from trade or industry magazines, were not that common in the period 1945-55. One that deserves a place in the local literary and typographical annals is Inkling. Published for just 37 issues by the Christchurch-based company Morrison & Morrison (M & M) from June 1947 to August 1951, it includes three pieces each by two of New Zealand‘s leading lights of that literary nationalism that emerged in the late 1930s. THE PUBLISHER M & M started in 1906 as printing ink manufacturers and expanded over time to have branches in the then four main centres. Their activities also diversified to include the sale of type, printing trade sundries, and machinery. After World War II it was one of a group of companies offering comparable services to the printing and allied trades throughout New Zealand. It was this company that provided boat fares in 1939 for Denis Glover and his printing partner John Drew to visit Wellington to look at printing machines.1 Glover and Drew were the two working principals of what subsequently became the Caxton Press. They bought a German machine- fed (automatic) rotary press, presumably not only to incrementally expand their printing capacity, but also to relieve the drudgery and limited production capacity of their hand-fed Wharfedale rotary press. They still had and used their hand-fed platen press (which had been converted from treadle to electric motor driven). It may be assumed that by 1947 M & M management had defined a need to increase their recognition in the marketplace and decided to issue their own free trade journal, initially monthly but as time went on reduced to two-monthly.

  • THE INTERPRETATION of THEBAN MYTHS in LATE MEDIAEVAL LITERATURE David Anderson for Richard Hamilton Green
    MYTHOGRAPHY OR HISTORIOGRAPHY? THE INTERPRETATION OF THEBAN MYTHS IN LATE MEDIAEVAL LITERATURE David Anderson For Richard Hamilton Green The modern term "classical myth" covers a range of legendary subjects which mediaeval writers commonly distinguished as tabula or historia; or, with the addition of a third term, as 1) things which could have happened and did happen (historia); 2) things which could have happened but did not (argumentum) ; and 3) things which could not have happened and did not happen, such as the preposterous high jinks of the pagan gods (fabula).* Though the mediaeval Latin word historia and the derivative loan-words in vernacular languages, such as Middle English "storie," do not correspond exactly to the meaning of Modern English "history," they stood always and clearly in contrast to fabula, which denoted a lie, a falsehood. By the fourteenth century, writers were using this pair of terms with the informality accorded an unquestioned convention. In one well-known example, Chaucer's Physician remarks that the tale of Appius and Virginia "is no fable, / but knowen for historial thyng notable" (154-55); and in another, Boccaccio distinguishes the fabulous from the historical characters and events in Vergil's Aeneid, book 4 (Genealogie 14.13). Accounts of the "myths" of the ancient cities of Thebes and Troy often focussed on the question of fabulous and historical elements in the received sources: Guido delle Colonne, for one, sets it as his task to "separate the true from the false among the things which were written of [Trojan] history in Latin 2 books," an assertion which John Lydgate translates and expands in the prologue to his Troy Book.

Schmidt 1 st Edition www.chronicon.net 3 Introduction We the faithful stand fast unto death. ~Hippolytus Commentary on Daniel 2.19.4 Hippolytus’ Commentary on Daniel is the oldest surviving Christian commentary on Scripture. It was composed by Hippolytus of Rome most likely between 202 and 211 AD, a time of great persecution. This is the first complete English translation. Hippolytus seems to have undertaken this commentary to comfort his fellow Christians, who, like Daniel and his three companions, suffered for their faith. For Hippolytus, suffering was not something to fear, but something to be gladly embraced. In his commentary he beseeches Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, “Tell me, you three boys, remember me, I entreat you , that I also may obtain the same lot of martyrdom with you.” 1 His request was fulfilled; Hippolytus suffered martyrdom in 235 AD after being exiled to Sardinia. Hippolytus also tries to provide assurance about what is expected in the end times when Christ returns. While interpreting

  • The Works and Days of Hesychios the Illoustrios of Miletos Anthony Kaldellis
    The Works and Days of Hesychios the Illoustrios of Miletos Anthony Kaldellis HERE WAS A TIME when the problems surrounding the works of Hesychios of Miletos1 could engage even the T attention of the young Friedrich Nietzsche, involved as he was in Quellenforschung regarding the ancient and Byzantine biographical notices.2 Yet despite the 1851 publication by K. Müller of Hesychios’ fragments, no one has yet examined the sum of the evidence regarding his life and work. One may even notice a retrenchment since the nineteenth century: K. Krum- bacher’s entry on Hesychios among the Byzantine historians (1897) finds no counterpart in H. Hunger’s updated survey of Byzantine scholarship (1978).3 Yet Hesychios does appear with some frequency in modern discussions, sometimes as a pagan, other times as a Christian, sometimes placed under Anastasios, other times under Justin II and Maurice. It is time to remedy this neglect, for the figure that emerges is in fact highly interest- ing and we owe to him more than most historians realize. The primary goal of this paper will be to examine all our evidence for the life and works of Hesychios and draw some preliminary conclusions regarding their dates and contents. At the end we will return to the (largely independent) question of Hesychios’ 1 This article attempts to lay the groundwork for a complete translation and historical commentary on the fragments of Hesychios to be published in Brill’s New Jacoby (Ian Worthington, ed.). The interested reader should also consult the chapter on Hesychios in W. Treadgold’s forthcoming study The Lives and Works of the Early Byzantine Historians, whose conclusions differ from mine on important points.
