    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics The eighth-century revolution Version 1.0 December 2005 Ian Morris Stanford University Abstract: Through most of the 20th century classicists saw the 8th century BC as a period of major changes, which they characterized as “revolutionary,” but in the 1990s critics proposed more gradualist interpretations. In this paper I argue that while 30 years of fieldwork and new analyses inevitably require us to modify the framework established by Snodgrass in the 1970s (a profound social and economic depression in the Aegean c. 1100-800 BC; major population growth in the 8th century; social and cultural transformations that established the parameters of classical society), it nevertheless remains the most convincing interpretation of the evidence, and that the idea of an 8th-century revolution remains useful © Ian Morris. [email protected] 1 THE EIGHTH-CENTURY REVOLUTION Ian Morris Introduction In the eighth century BC the communities of central Aegean Greece (see figure 1) and their colonies overseas laid the foundations of the economic, social, and cultural framework that constrained and enabled Greek achievements for the next five hundred years. Rapid population growth promoted warfare, trade, and political centralization all around the Mediterranean. In most regions, the outcome was a concentration of power in the hands of kings, but Aegean Greeks created a new form of identity, the equal male citizen, living freely within a small polis. This vision of the good society was intensely contested throughout the late eighth century, but by the end of the archaic period it had defeated all rival models in the central Aegean, and was spreading through other Greek communities.

This book traces the development of the community from its foundation in the 740s over one and a half centuries, a period richly documented by a variety of texts and archaeological remains. These sources reveal how Fulda’s success forced the monks to rethink their goals and the ways in which they sought to achieve them. Its close connection to the Carolingian royal court also makes Fulda a fascinating case study of how local events infl u- enced life in the palace, and vice versa. The importance of Fulda and the rich array of sources associated with it have long been recognised, but this is the fi rst full study, bringing together history, religion, architectural history and archae- ology. The result is a vivid picture of life in this monastery and also in early medieval religious communities in general. janneke raaijmakers is a lecturer in Medieval History at the Universiteit Utrecht. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-00281-4 - The Making of the Monastic Community of Fulda, C.744–C.900 Janneke Raaijmakers Frontmatter More information Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought Fourth Series General Editor: rosamond mckitterick Professor of Medieval History, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of Sidney Sussex College Advisory Editors: christine carpenter Professor of Medieval English History, University of Cambridge jonathan shepard The series Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought was inaugurated by G.

  • CONTINUITY and CHANGE in the EIGHTH CENTURY Conciliar
    CHAPTER 6 CONTINUITY AND CHANGE IN THE EIGHTH CENTURY Conciliar Continuity: Alaric to Clovis In September 506, thirty-four Gallo-Roman clerics met in the city of Agde “with the permission of our most glorious, magnifi cent, and pious lord king.”1 Th e honored rex was Alaric II, an Arian Christian, who hoped that by authorizing a council of Catholic prelates, he would be able to rely on their loyalty in the ongoing fi ght for political domina- tion in Gaul.2 Alaric’s dream of a Visigothic-dominated Gaul would be crushed only a year later, when he was defeated and killed by Clovis at the Battle of Vouillé.3 But in 506, the king was still vigorously attempt- ing to hold together a unifi ed Visigothic realm. Th e same year that he convoked the Council of Agde, he also issued the Lex Romana Visig- othorum (or Breviarium), a compilation of Roman law whose infl uence would far outlive Alaric himself.4 Following Clovis’ victory, and the establishment of Merovingian dominance in Gaul, the Lex Romana Visigothorum continued to be copied and consulted frequently, even though manuscripts of the Codex Th eodosianus were still in circula- tion.5 For Alaric, however, the codifi cation project had a more imme- diate aim: uniting the Roman subjects of his kingdom under a single code of laws issued in his own name. Alaric’s unifi cation eff orts were 1 Agde (506), Preface. 2 Mathisen, “Th e Second Council of Arles,” 543, has suggested that Arles II (442/506) was convoked for the same reasons already postulated for the Council of Agde (506).

  • Transformation of Capital City in Tang and Song China, Ca. 700-1100
    From Closed Capital to Open Metropolis: Transformation of Capital City in Tang and Song China, ca. 700-1100 Hang Lin [email protected] Abstract. Chang’an of the Tang dynasty (630-907) and Kaifeng of the Song dynasty (960- 1127) represents two major stages in the development of the capital city in premodern China. In contrast to Chang’an, a semi-autonomous walled “urban village” separated by wide expanse of transitory space, Kaifeng was a dense city criss-crossed by ad hoc commercial streets filled with a variety of urban activities during days and nights. Indeed, during this period, a number of significant changes took place, which helped to erode the Tang urban structure and to give birth to a new, one in which the closed walled city transformed into an open market city. Based primarily on textual and material evidence, this paper outlines the characteristics of the layout and structure of the two cities and examines various aspects of the daily life in both cities. This comparative analysis sheds light on the unique pattern of transformation of cities in medieval China. Keywords: Chinese capital city, city transformation, Chang’an, Kaifeng, Tang dynasty, Song dynasty. Introduction Historians of premodern Chinese urbanism have long assumed that the origins of the Chinese imperial city plan stem from a passage in the Kaogong ji (Record of Artificers) section of the classical text Zhouli (Rituals of Zhou), which describes the city of the King of Zhou (Fig. 1): ‘When the artificer build the capital, [the city should be] a square of nine li on each side, with three gates on each side.

Printed in U.S.A. 9ApJ. 197 AN ION-MOLECULE SCHEME FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF HYDROCARBON-CHAIN AND ORGANONITROGEN MOLECULES IN DENSE INTERSTELLAR CLOUDS H. I. Schiff and D. K. Bohme Department of Chemistry, York University, Downsview, Ontario, Canada Received 1978 October 9; accepted 1979 March 28 ABSTRACT A general scheme is proposed for the synthesis of large molecules in dense interstellar clouds based on rates of ion-molecule reactions measured in our laboratory and elsewhere. C-C bond + + + formation is dominated by reactions involving the must abundant ions C , CH3 , C2H2 , and + C2H3 and the most abundant neutrals C2H2 and CH*, where 1 < x < 4. As a particular example, we show that the scheme can account for the observation of methylacetylene, methyl cyanide, and the cyanoacetylenes HC3N, HC5N, HC7N, and HC9N and is consistent with their observed relative abundance. However, the scheme does require high concentrations of C2H2 and + C2H2 ions to account for the absolute abundances observed. Subject headings: interstellar: molecules — molecular processes I. INTRODUCTION in the ion followed by eventual neutralization. A given The recent detection of large, complex molecules in ion may undergo a number of different reactions, the dense interstellar clouds has led to various suggestions relative probabilities of which are governed by the rate for their genesis. Breakdown of even larger molecules constants and the concentrations of the neutral reac- formed in stellar atmospheres (Hoyle and Wickrama- tants. For dense clouds, H2 is a major neutral molecule singhe 1977), recombination on interstellar grains and hydrogenation reactions of the type + + (Watson and Salpeter 1972a, 6; Allen and Robinson CnH^ + H2-^CnH* + 1 + H (1) 1977), and homogeneous ion-molecule reactions (Herbst and Klemperer 1976; Dalgarno and Black will dominate up to particular values of x beyond 1976; Dalgarno 1976) have been proposed.

  • Buddhist Adoption in Asia, Mahayana Buddhism First Entered China
    Buddhist adoption in Asia, Mahayana Buddhism first entered China through Silk Road. Blue-eyed Central Asian monk teaching East-Asian monk. A fresco from the Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves, dated to the 9th century; although Albert von Le Coq (1913) assumed the blue-eyed, red-haired monk was a Tocharian,[1] modern scholarship has identified similar Caucasian figures of the same cave temple (No. 9) as ethnic Sogdians,[2] an Eastern Iranian people who inhabited Turfan as an ethnic minority community during the phases of Tang Chinese (7th- 8th century) and Uyghur rule (9th-13th century).[3] Buddhism entered Han China via the Silk Road, beginning in the 1st or 2nd century CE.[4][5] The first documented translation efforts by Buddhist monks in China (all foreigners) were in the 2nd century CE under the influence of the expansion of the Kushan Empire into the Chinese territory of the Tarim Basin under Kanishka.[6][7] These contacts brought Gandharan Buddhist culture into territories adjacent to China proper. Direct contact between Central Asian and Chinese Buddhism continued throughout the 3rd to 7th century, well into the Tang period. From the 4th century onward, with Faxian's pilgrimage to India (395–414), and later Xuanzang (629–644), Chinese pilgrims started to travel by themselves to northern India, their source of Buddhism, in order to get improved access to original scriptures. Much of the land route connecting northern India (mainly Gandhara) with China at that time was ruled by the Kushan Empire, and later the Hephthalite Empire. The Indian form of Buddhist tantra (Vajrayana) reached China in the 7th century.
