Dear Reader, This book was referenced in one of the 185 issues of 'The Builder' Magazine which was published between January 1915 and May 1930. To celebrate the centennial of this publication, the Pictoumasons website presents a complete set of indexed issues of the magazine. As far as the editor was able to, books which were suggested to the reader have been searched for on the internet and included in 'The Builder' library.' This is a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by one of several organizations as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online. Wherever possible, the source and original scanner identification has been retained. Only blank pages have been removed and this header- page added.

MANSFIELD COLLEGE LECTURES, 1892 THE CHURCH IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE BEFORE A.D. 170 W. M. RAMSAY, M.A. PROFESSOR OF HUMANITY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN FORMERLY PROFESSOR OF CLASSICAL ARCHEOLOGY, AND FELLOW OF EXETER COLLEGE, OXFORD AUTHOR OF "the HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF ASIA MINOR," ETC. JV/TJI MAPS AND ILLUSTRATIONS SECOND EDITION—REVISED. HODDER AND STOUGHTON 27, PATERNOSTER ROW MDCCCXCIII London and Aylesbury. Printed by Hazell, "Watson, & Viney, Ld., A. M. R. PREFACE. THIS work originates from the invitation with which the Council of Mansfield College, Oxford, honoured me in the end of July 1891, to give a course of six lectures there in May-June 1892. The opinion of Dr. Fairbairn, Dr. Sanday, and other friends encouraged me to hope that faults of execution—of which I was and am painfully con- scious—did not wholly obscure a good idea in them ; and it is at their advice that the present book appears. The lectures are almost entirely rewritten (except Chap. IX.), and are enlarged by the addition of Part I. and in other respects, which need not be specified ; but they retain their original character as lectures, intended rather to stimulate interest and research in students than to attain scientific completeness and order of exposition. They exemplify to younger students the method of applying archseological, topographical, and numismatic evidence to the investiga- tion of early Christian history ; and, as I always urge on my pupils, their aim is to suggest to others how to treat the subject better than I can. viii Preface. The books of the New Testament are treated here simply on as authorities for history ; and their credit is estimated the same principles as that of other historical documents. If I reach conclusions very different from those of the school of criticism whose originators and chief exponents are German, it is not that I differ from their method. I fully accept their principle, that the sense of these docu- ments can be ascertained only by resolute criticism ; but I think that they have often carried out their principle badly, and that their criticism often offends against critical method. True criticism must be sympathetic ; but in investigations into religion, Greek, Roman, and Christian alike, there appears to me, if I may venture to say so, to be in many German scholars (the greatest excepted) a lack of that instinctive sympathy with the life and nature of a people which is essential to the right use of critical pro- cesses. For years, with much interest and zeal, but with little knowledge, I followed the critics and accepted their results. In recent years, as I came to understand Roman history better, I have realised that, in the case of almost all the books of the New Testament, it is as gross an outrage on criticism to hold them for second-century forgeries as it would be to class the works of Horace and Virgil as forgeries of the time of Nero. Some German reviewers have taxed me with unfair depreciation of German authorities. The accusation must Preface. ix seem to my English friends and pupils a retribution for the persistence with which I have urged the necessity of studying German method. None admires and reverences German scholarship more than I do ; but it has not taught me to be blind to faults, or to be afraid to speak out. I cannot sufficiently acknowledge my debt to various friends, chiefly to Dr. Sanday ; also to Dr. Hort, Dr. Fairbairn, Mr. Armitage Robinson, Mr. A. C. Headlam, etc. From the discriminating criticism of Mr. Vernon Bartlet I have gained much : the pages on i Peter were doubled in meeting his arguments. My old friend of undergraduate days, Mr. Macdonell, formerly of Balliol College, gave me especially great help throughout the first fourteen chapters. In the index I have been aided by my pupil, Mr. A. Souter, now of Caius College. A special tribute is due to two writers. Lightfoot's Ignatius and Polycarp has been my constant companion ; yet my admiration for his historical perception, his breadth of knowledge and his honesty of statement, and my grateful recollection of much kindly encouragement received from him personally, do not prevent me from stating frankly where I am bound to differ from him. Mommsen's review of Neumann explained certain diffi- culties that long puzzled me ; and the lectures attempt, however imperfectly, to apply principles learned mainly from his various writings. X Preface, As the whole work is due to my explorations in Asia Minor, I hope it may stimulate the progress of discovery in that land, which at present conceals within it the answer to many pressing problems of history ; and, perhaps, may even prevent my researches from com ing to an en d. Next to further exploration and excavation, the greatest desideratum is a society to study and edit the acta of the Eastern Saints. Aberdeen, January zy^d^ 1893, : 6 CONTENTS.

Epigtoaphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 1996 (EBGR 1996) The ninth issue of the BEGR contains only part of the epigraphie harvest of 1996; unforeseen circumstances have prevented me and my collaborators from covering all the publications of 1996, but we hope to close the gaps next year. We have also made several additions to previous issues. In the past years the BEGR had often summarized publications which were not primarily of epigraphie nature, thus tending to expand into an unavoidably incomplete bibliography of Greek religion. From this issue on we return to the original scope of this bulletin, whieh is to provide information on new epigraphie finds, new interpretations of inscriptions, epigraphieal corpora, and studies based p;imarily on the epigraphie material. Only if we focus on these types of books and articles, will we be able to present the newpublications without delays and, hopefully, without too many omissions.

  • Preliminary Report to the Wilson Trustees on Two Journeys in Asia Minor, 1901 and 1902

    Preliminary Report to the Wilson Trustees on Two Journeys in Asia Minor, 1901 and 1902

    PRELIMINARY REPORT TO THE WILSON TRUSTEES ON TWO JOURNEYS IN ASIA MINOR, 1901 AND 1902. I. As there are some features, which are now and are likely to remain unusual in my tenure of the Wilson Fellowship, I should begin by stating the motives which guided me in offering to undertake the work of the Fellowship. The Trustees are aware that, though the Fellowship has been long in existence, I am only the second Wilson Fellow ; but the conditions were peculiar and inelastic, and there was not everywhere among us a very strong desire to make the foundation a practical part of our Aberdeen School of Ancient Letters. I may take credit for having advised the first Fellow to take up the special path in which he attained such brilliant success, and especially for having suggested to him to apply for the Wilson Fellowship, and in some degree for having given him training in the methods of research for a year in Aberdeen before he was elected. In my actual application for the Fellowship, it would not have been right to do more than describe the work of research which I proposed to carry out with the Fellow- ship ; and the results of that work are briefly described in Part II. of this Report. But I desire now to lay before the Trustees the wider scheme which I had in mind, and which will, I trust, produce a series of Wilson Fellows who will be as distinguished as my predecessor was. My motive in returning to Asia Minor after ten years' absence was only in part to search for and to find the ΙΟ PRELIMINARY REPORT TO THE WILSON TRUSTEES answer to the problems that had been cropping up in the investigations and discussions of the intervening years, though that alone was quite sufficient to take me back as soon as there arose a prospect of finding the money neces- sary.

    ECCLESIAE OCCIDENTALIS MONUMENTA IURIS ANTIQUISSIMA ed. C.H. Turner (Oxford, 1899-1939) Index of Names and Selected Words Corrected, revised, and extended 2008 by Philip R. Amidon, S.J. Creighton University [email protected] It has seemed opportune to republish this index in a corrected and extended version; there has been added to the list of names a list of selected words, and the method of referring to the text has been somewhat altered. The exact scope of C.H. Turner’s masterpiece is not immediately apparent from its title or subtitles (Canonum et conciliorum graecorum interpretationes latinae; Canones et concilia graeca ab antiquis interpretibus latine reddita). What one in fact finds here is an edition of the earliest surviving collections of church canons in Latin which are undoubtedly from the fourth century or have been assigned to it by at least some consensus of scholarship; some of them are translations from Greek, while others were originally drafted in Latin itself. Most of them, with the exception of the Apostolic Constitutions and Canons, are attributed to church councils. Turner, however, also offers a selection of doctrinal and historical material of enormous value, some of it indeed connected to the councils whose canons he edits; a comparison, for instance, of the creed contained in the synodical letter of the Council of Sardica with the Tomus Damasi, will suggest how far the doctrinal education of the western church advanced during the course of the fourth century. The connection of other historical matter to the canons is less obvious, however; one wonders what the Athanasian Historia acephala is doing here (granted that it is part of the collection of Theodosius the Deacon), however grateful one is to have the edition.
  • The Expansion of Christianity in Lycaonian Cities and Villages

    The Expansion of Christianity in Lycaonian Cities and Villages

    Please provide footnote text CHAPTER 4 The Expansion of Christianity in Lycaonian Cities and Villages 4.1 Introduction The following survey of Christian inscriptions from Lycaonia and the adjacent region around Isaura and the lake region of eastern Pisidia forms the backbone of this study on the rise of early Christianity in Lycaonia. In each subsection of this chapter evidence attesting the presence of Christians in the cities and vil- lages of Lycaonia and adjacent areas is discussed and indicated on the accom- panying maps.1 In the selection of the material the authors decided to quote the full text of inscriptions that cannot with certainty be identified as Christian only by exception. Some of these inscriptions might well be Christian too. The documentation of “The Expansion of the Christian Religion” into Pisidia, Lycaonia and Isauria by Harnack in his Mission und Ausbreitung des Christentums includes only a few inscriptions and does not go beyond to AD 325.2 We expand his brief geographically orientated list of locations in which Christianity set foot into a full presentation of the available evidence. This survey shows how habitable space in Lycaonia and adjacent areas gradu- ally became Christianised. By the 5th century the church gained control over a vast area through the mechanism of bishops ruling the cities and their ter- ritories. The survey is organised around the major cities and their regions, starting with a brief description of the location and overviews of the ancient testimonies to Christianity referring to the city or its territory. Apart from the Lycaonian locations of Paul’s mission mentioned (Iconium, Lystra and Derbe) or implied (Laodicea Combusta) in the Acts of the Apostles, which “cities” or villages should be included under “Lycaonian and adjacent areas”?3 For Strabo the easternmost town of Lycaonia was Coropassus, a fortified outpost (φρούριον).

TINLING St CO., Ltd., fj Victoria Street, Liverpool, and at London and Prcicot T h e present work has grown out of a lecture delivered in Liverpool and published in The Annals of Archaeology and Anthropology, vol. V III (1921). The subject seemed to be of sufficient interest to warrant a larger essay. Sestier’s book, La Piraterie dans VAntiquite (Paris, 1880), still remains the largest treatise on the subject, but is uncritical and contains many inaccuracies. Of other works, Lecrivain’s article, Pirata, in Daremberg and Saglio, is an admirable collection of sources, which is supplemented by Kroll’s Seeraub in Pauly-Wissowa. The best study of the subject is that by Paul Stein, Ueber Piraterie im Altertum (Cöthen, 1891), and Zur Geschichte der Piraterie im Altertum (Bernburg, 1894), which forms the second part. Both these articles were difficult to obtain, but contain an extremely valuable discussion of the evidence.

    The Roman Army in Pamphylia: from the Third to Sixth Centuries A.D

    ADALYA XII, 2009 The Roman Army in Pamphylia: From the Third to Sixth Centuries A.D. Fatih ONUR* The Roman Army in Pamphylia between the third and sixth centuries has never been a single topic for any research so far, though it was certainly referred in part by several works, as will be mentioned below. The scarcity of specific military researches in Asia Minor was recently emphasized by Bennett, who wrote on the Roman Army in Lycia and Pamphylia in imperial times1. In the introduction to this paper, he rightly points out the lack of our knowledge on the Roman army relating to the eastern provinces, and this is due to the lack of a systematic research on this issue. This was also the case of Late Antiquity for Pamphylia. Materials related to military and administrative organiza- tion spread in various publications are collected in this paper which aims to see how the Roman Army acted in Pamphylia following the third century crisis, when Roman author- ity was challenged by economic, administrative and military instabilities until the reign of Anastasius (A.D. 491–518), who was finally able to create the peace by rejuvenating the army and imperial stability. Pamphylia has been selected as the region of focus, not only because the traces of the later Roman army can widely be found and many of the late Roman military operations in Asia Minor occurred in and around Pamphylia; but also there is new evidence to be examined. When Late Antiquity, Pamphylia and the Roman army are in question together, we no doubt mainly talk about civil wars, power and economic conflicts of various groups, rebellions, gangs, and armed robbery – though there were a few external attacks like Persian and Gothic invasions –, which armies have had to deal with, throughout his- tory.
