  • The World View of the Anonymous Author of the Greek Chronicle of the Tocco
    THE WORLD VIEW OF THE ANONYMOUS AUTHOR OF THE GREEK CHRONICLE OF THE TOCCO (14th-15th centuries) by THEKLA SANSARIDOU-HENDRICKX THESIS submitted in the fulfilment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF ARTS in GREEK in the FACULTY OF ARTS at the RAND AFRIKAANS UNIVERSITY PROMOTER: DR F. BREDENKAMP JOHANNESBURG NOVEMBER 2000 EFACE When I began with my studies at the Rand Afrikaans University, and when later on I started teaching Modern Greek in the Department of Greek and Latin Studies, I experienced the thrill of joy and the excitement which academic studies and research can provide to its students and scholars. These opportunities finally allowed me to write my doctoral thesis on the world view of the anonymous author of the Greek Chronicle of the Tocco. I wish to thank all persons who have supported me while writing this study. Firstly, my gratitude goes to Dr Francois Bredenkamp, who not only has guided me throughout my research, but who has always been available for me with sound advice. His solid knowledge and large experience in the field of post-classical Greek Studies has helped me in tackling Byzantine Studies from a mixed, historical and anthropological view point. I also wish to render thanks to my colleagues, especially in the Modern Greek Section, who encouraged me to continue my studies and research. 1 am indebted to Prof. W.J. Henderson, who has corrected my English. Any remaining mistakes in the text are mine. Last but not least, my husband, Prof. B. Hendrickx, deserves my profound gratitude for his patience, encouragement and continuous support.

  • Two Early 18 Century Rare Venetian Maps
    e-Perimetron, Vol. 9, No. 1, 2014 [30-50] www.e-perimetron.org | ISSN 1790-3769 Evangelos Livieratos*, Chrysoula Boutoura** Precursors of scientific mapping of Peloponnese: two early 18th century rare Venetian maps Keywords: Venetian maps; 18th century cartography; Peloponnese; Regno di Morea; Cartographic Heritage; Military cartography; “semi-topographical” mapping Summary: The importance of the Peloponnese, due to its geographic position, is well known in History. The key-position in the Mediterranean was reflected into the great number of cartographic representations in the course of mapping history. Almost a century before the “semi-topographical” military maps,1 of French, British and Austrian origin representing Greece and the surrounding areas in the early 19th century, with Peloponnese dominant in these representations, the Venetians had performed surveying and mapping works in Peloponnese. Actually from the late 17th to the early 18th century the Venetian surveyors, civil and military, were active in fieldwork all over their possessions in the Morea for the construction of general medium-scale regional maps and of a number of lo- cal cadastral plans. The Venetian mapping of the Peloponnese was so less-known in the current cartographic historiography, compared to the very well known a century later rele- vant maps by the French, Austrian and British military, that the majority of those dealing with the “semi-topographical” mapping of the Peloponnese considered the early 19th cen- tury as its major reference date. It was the rather recent unveiling and revisiting of the military Venetian maps of the Morea, kept at the War Archive of the Austrian State Archives in Vienna that helped to learn about the work of engineers of the Serenissima who, a century before the French, mapped very well the territory possessed in 1685 and kept for the next thirty years.

TO PETER SOMMER TR AVELS Writing this in autumn 2020, it is hard to know quite where to begin. I usually review the season just gone, the new tours that we ran, the preparatory recces we made, the new tours we are unveiling for the next year, the feedback we have received and our exciting plans for the future. However, as you well know, this year has been unlike any other in our collective memory. Our exciting plans for 2020 were thrown into disarray, just like many of yours. We were so disappointed that so many of you were unable to travel with us in 2020. Our greatest pleasure is to share the destinations we have grown to love so deeply with you our wonderful guests. I had the pleasure and privilege of speaking with many of you personally during the 2020 season. I was warmed and touched by your support, your understanding, your patience, and your generosity. All of us here at PST are extremely grateful and heartened by your enthusiasm and eagerness to travel with us when it becomes possible. PST is a small, flexible, and dynamic company. We have weathered countless downturns during the many years we have been operating. Elin, my wife, and I have always reinvested in the business with long term goals and are very used to surviving all manner of curve balls, although COVID-19 is certainly the biggest we have yet faced.

  • Nicholas Biddle, Anacharsis, and the Grand Tour
    Nicholas Biddle, Anacharsis, and the Grand Tour HEN NICHOLAS BlDDLE (1786-1844) TRAVELED in Europe in the years 1804 to 1807, he kept a series of notebooks in which Whe recorded both his movements and his thoughts on the sights he saw and the people he met. The recovery of these notebooks in 1976 and the recent publication of two of them enable us to get a better picture of his early character and to place him within the context of the history of American travelers. Why did he go to the Aegean of all places?1 To answer this question, I begin by way of a fictional detour. In E. M. Forster's novel A Room with a View, the Reverend Mr. Beebe, speaking of the Miss Alans' proposed visit to Athens and Constantinople, says: I haven't been to Greece myself, and I don't mean to go, and I can't imagine any of my friends going. It is altogether too big for our little lot. Don't you think so? Italy is just about as much as we can manage. Italy is heroic, but Greece is godlike or devilish—I am not sure which, and in either case absolute- ly out of our suburban focus.... I was saying, if our poor little Cockney lives must have a background, let it be Italian. Big enough in all conscience. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel for me. There the contrast is just as much as I can realize. But not the Parthenon, not the frieze of Phidias at any price..

    Coastal Change and Archaeological Settings in Elis John C. Kraft, George Robert Rapp, John A. Gifford, S. E. Aschenbrenner Hesperia, Volume 74, Number 1, January-March 2005, pp. 1-39 (Article) Published by American School of Classical Studies at Athens For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/182142 No institutional affiliation (15 Jul 2018 21:22 GMT) hesperia 74 (2005) Coastal Change and Pages 1–39 Archaeological Settings in Elis ABSTRACT Since the mid-Holocene epoch, sediments from the Alpheios River in Elis, in the western Peloponnese, have been entrained in littoral currents and depos- ited to form barriers, coastal lagoons, and peripheral marshes. Three major surges of sediment formed a series of barrier-island chains. The sites of Kleidhi (ancient Arene), along a former strategic pass by the sea, and Epitalion (Ho- meric Thryon), built on a headland at the mouth of the Alpheios River, now lie 1 and 5 km inland, respectively, and other ancient sites have been similarly affected. Diversion of the Peneus River has led to cycles of delta progradation and retrogradation that have both buried and eroded archaeological sites. Coastal changes continue in Elis today, resulting in areas of both erosion and deposition. INTRODUCTION Three great sandy strandlines extend for more than 100 km along the coast of Elis in the western Peloponnese, Kiparissia to Katakolon, to Chle- moutsi, to Araxos (Fig. 1). Fed by sediments eroding from the uplands of Elis via the deltas of the Peneus, Alpheios, and Nedon rivers and numer- ous smaller streams, littoral processes have created a sequence of lagoons, marshes, barrier accretion plains, coastal dune fields, swamps, and deltas.
