Religious Foundations of Group Identity in Prehistoric Europe: the Germanic Peoples
PETER BUCHHOLZ Religious Foundations of Group Identity in Prehistoric Europe: The Germanic Peoples Any reader of Heimskringla ("circle of the earth"), the history of the kings of Norway by the great 13th century Icelandic writer Snorri Sturluson, will be struck by the enormous weight which the author attaches to religion. This refers both to Christianity and to pagan phenomena which preceded and even co-existed with it for some time. Snorri's work should, in my view, be ascribed a relatively high source value, if only because it is demonstrably based on older traditions either fixed in poetry or transmitted as oral prose. Öral tradition is of course not the topic of the present paper (cf. Buchholz 1980; Buchholz 1991), but the preservation of such traditions alone, many of which contain religious material, does indeed show that society or parts of it attached sufficient importance to such phenomena as to commit them to memory, parchment, runic signs or pictorial representation. The last scribe or "author" may of course have had considerable antiquarian interests, as is evident e.g. in some of the mythic poems of the Elder Edda, but such interests cannot be regarded as the cause for the existence of the myth, but only as one of the reasons for its preservation. We shall hopefully glimpse something of the role of myth in Germanic societies in the course of my paper. Leaving Myth aside for the moment, I want to stress that ÖN prose material, including Heimskringla, shows a marked interest in the concrete manifestations of cult (which, for paganism as seen through Christian eyes at least, definitely includes magic) and belief.

Scandinavian Days: Old Or New
Scandinavian Days: Old or New Carl Edlund Anderson, St. John’s College Cambridge 35th International Medieval Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo, MI 5 May 2000 It is unclear just when or how the familiar seven-day week with its named days arrived in Scandinavia. Certainly, it is clear that these elements would not have appeared in medieval Scandinavian culture had they not already been part of Imperial Roman culture. But there is a large gap between the fourth century ad, by which time the seven-day week had become well-established throughout the Western Roman Empire, and the thirteenth century ad, before which there is little firm evidence concerning Scandinavian day-names. Not surprisingly, questions about the origins of the Scandinavian day-names have usually been the province of philologists. In a recent study concerning Latin loanwords in Germanic, D.H. Green stated that evidence from Old Norse “can safely be left out of account, since almost all of its loan-words from Latin reached it later or indirectly through England or Germany”. 1 Green was not speaking of the day-name issue specifically, but his words sum up the opinions of many scholars who, perhaps vexed by the limited amount of evidence, have suggested that the seven-day week and it’s day-names were relatively late imports to Scandinavia, perhaps borrowed from English or Low German usage during the late Viking Age or early-medieval period through trade contacts, as part of the conversion process, or both. It is certainly true that the North Germanic languages show less Latin influence 1 Green, Germanic, p.

28Th International Congress on Medieval Studies
Dear Colleague: It is my pleasure to invite you to the Twenty-Eighth International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo which will convene from May 6-9, 1993 on the campus of Western Michigan University under the sponsorship of WMU's Medieval Institute. I call your attention to two highlights of this year's Congress: the German-American Colloquium on German Medieval History sponsored by the Medieval Academy of America and the German Historical Institute in Washington, and the Symposium on the Theory and Practice of Translation in the Middle Ages organized by Professor Jeanette Beer of Purdue University. We are delighted to welcome the early music ensemble Sequentia back to Kalamazoo and look forward to their performance of Vox Feminae: Music from Medieval Women's Cloisters on Thursday evening. On Friday evening, Eberhard Kummer from Vienna, also on a return visit, will perform songs by the Middle High German songwriter Neidhard, and on Saturday night AAI Productions from New York will present several one-act plays from the 7 Sins / 7 Virtues, a project conceived and directed by Melanie Sutherland. These provocative plays explore the traditional seven deadly sins and the seven cardinal virtues through modem interpretations by AAI's resident playwrights. In addition an exhibit sponsored by the Friends of the Road to Santiago entitled "Celebrating the Holy Year: Santiago, a Saint of Two Worlds/Spanish Sketches--Marking the Millenium" will be on display in the Fetzer Center for the duration of the Congress. Please pay close attention to the following pages which contain important information regarding registration, housing, meals, transportation, etc.

Chapter 21 Imagining the Holy Land in the Old Norse World
Mikael Males Chapter 21 Imagining the Holy Land in the Old Norse World In Old Norse literature as elsewhere in the literature of medieval Europe, many im- ages of Jerusalem and the Holy Land are to be found, not mutually exclusive, but rather adding to a range of functions and meanings. In an Icelandic twelfth-century itinerary, we encounter the pious pilgrim, admiring the blood of Christ on the ground where the cross had stood. From twelfth-century Orkney, by contrast, we have runic and poetic evidence of boastful Viking crusaders, belittling the cowards who stayed at home and viewing the concept of the Holy Land through the lens of the world of the sagas. In thirteenth-century Iceland, we find a peculiar version of the Holy Land in a local setting, fully integrated into Icelandic saga style. As late converts on the fringe of the known world, the Nordic peoples were removed in time and space from the events and sites that mattered most to salvation. In the Orcadian and Icelandic material, we see a creative negotiation of both the spatial and temporal distance. This chapter focuses on the attitudes to Jerusalem and the Holy Land found in some Old Norse sources, as well as the strategies used for mak- ing them, as it were, domestic. The first obvious act of domestication lies in the name Jerusalem itself, which in Old Norse was called Jórsalir. This is apparently the result of a reanalysis of the name, and it is likely that the name meant something like “royal halls” or “the city of the king” at the time of imposition.

Antike Und Mittelalter
BEITRÄGE I. Antike und Mittelalter Tamás Adamik (Budapest) Horazens Hymnus auf Bacchus (2, 19) 1. Laut Walter Wili gehören das Staatslied und der Götterhymnus bei Horaz zusam- men, so wie bei den Römern Staat und Gott überhaupt. Es kann darnach nicht mehr verwundern, daß in der Liedersammlung sich elf Hymnen an Götter finden und zwölf ‘Staatsgedichte’; daß überdies der hymnische Anruf noch in acht weiteren Gedichten Form wurde und damit insgesamt ein starkes Drittel der Gedichte von festlich-staat- lich-göttlichem Charakter getragen ist“, schreibt er und betont: es sind neue Götter, denen gehuldigt wird“.1 Apollon, Diana, Merkur, Bacchus, Venus. Wenn es so ist, müssen die Hymnen, die auf diese Götter von Horaz gedichtet wurden, eine beson- dere Bedeutung haben. In meinem Beitrag möchte ich den Hymnus auf Bacchus behandeln, der sich im zwei- ten Buch der Oden befindet. Das zweite Buch hat eine besondere Eigenart: es ist das kürzeste, doch finden wir in ihm keine kurzen und keine langen Oden die kürzeste hat 20 Zeilen, d.h. 5 Strophen, die längste 40 Zeilen, also 10 Strophen. So ist in Hinsicht auf den Umfang das zweite Buch durch Zurückhaltung charakterisiert.2 Unser Hym- nus gehört mit 2, 17 (Ode an Maecenas) zu den mittellangen Oden des Buches: er hat 8 Strophen. Meiner Meinung nach ist es kein Zufall, daß dieser Hymnus eben in einem Buch zu finden ist, für welches das Ebenmaß und die Zurückhaltung charakte- ristisch sind. Obwohl die Meinungen der Forscher über den Aufbau des Gedichtes auseinanderge- hen, suggeriert auch die Struktur des Hymnus Ebenmaß und Harmonie.

Lokiasa Terriblestrangeranda Sacredvisitor
69 Loki Loki as a Terrible Stranger and a Sacred Visitor Tomoaki MIZUNO 1. 1. The Methodology to Disclose the Enigmatic Figures of Loki Loki still remains one of the enigmatic figures in the NNorse orse pantheon ，, although many scholars scholars have endeavoured to explain Loki's complicated character from various points of of view. 1I believe that that the total figure of Loki could be gradually disclosed ，, when we would direct our notice to a certain specific action pattern of Loki . That is to saysay,， Loki comes ，, by nature ，, from the other world or ‘'their' their' world and intrudes into the divine worldworld,， or or into ‘'our' worldwor ld in a semeiological semeiological sense. In other words ，, Loki can be defined as a traveling traveling deity ，, who is invested with preeminent divine powerspowers, ， especially when making a completion of a difficult journey ，, and Loki thus appears to be a sacred visitor visitor,， some-some times times,， or to be a terrible stranger stranger,， at other times. It It can be readily acknowledged that Loki (or Lodurr) L60urr)，, when regarded as a traveling deity deity,， forms a triad together with Othin and HaniH~nir. r. ln In some mythological accounts accounts,， on the the other hand ，, Loki shows the close close relationship with Thor ，, accompanying him on a journey journey or enticing him into giants' land. land. ThusThus,， as Axel Olrik has pointed out ，, Loki myths can be largely into classified into two di different任erent types ，, Othin-Loki and Thor-Loki stories. Olrik has has supposed ，, through a folkloric approachapproach,， that these two types mainly result from the regional regional di difference:任erence: Othin-Loki type belongs to a western group ，, presumably connected with with the Faroe Islands Islands,， while Thor-Loki type does to a more eastern groupgroup,， in some relation relation with the Esthonian folkloric folkloric conception of the thundergod's servant (de Vries 1933 1933 : 142 -43).

Indo-European Religion and Poetics – a Comparative Approach
Indo-European Religion and Poetics – A Comparative Approach Myth, Ritual and Language University of Copenhagen, Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics 15A.0.13 October 11–12, 2019 Der blaue Dämon (1931), Gabriele Münter. Gabriele Münter und Johannes Eichner-Stiftung, München. Abstracts Indo-European Religion and Poetics – A Comparative Approach: Myth, Ritual and Language Abstracts Ritual Speech in the Neo-Phrygian Funerary Curse Formulae MILENA ANFOSSO (Sorbonne University / University of California, Los Angeles) The Neo-Phrygian corpus (1st–3rd centuries AD) consists almost exclusively of funerary curses publicly written on the gravestone by the owner(s) of the tombs to warn any potential desecrators that evil would befall them if they should violate the grave. Neo-Phrygian curses have a strong formulaic character and pertain to ritual speech (Bax 2010: 484–5). Whenever language is meant to produce specific effects on the world, several devices are put in place in order to increase its performative power. First of all, Neo-Phrygian inscriptions are mostly characterized by a bilingual structure in which the epitaph containing the deceased’s biographic information is in Greek, and the curse is in Neo-Phrygian. I argue that this structure was intentional: the fidelity to the ancestral language was perceived as the only way to effectively invoke the ancestral gods in order to protect the tombs from desecrators (cf. so-called “code-switching with the gods”, Love 2016). Then, the use of formulaic binomials (a sequence of two words pertaining to the same form-class on an identical level of syntactic hierarchy connected by a lexical link, as found in Malkiel 1959), is a rhetorical device meant to increase the solemnity of ritual speech.

The Portrayal of the Germani in German Latin Textbooks
The Portrayal of the Germani in German Latin Textbooks James McNamara Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Classics Victoria University of Wellington 2008 For Angharad. 2 Acknowledgements Thanks are due to a large number of people who have made it possible to produce this thesis. First of all I would like to thank the Classics Department at Victoria University, who have helped me in innumerable ways leading up to and during this research. In particular I thank my supervisors, Professor Arthur Pomeroy and Dr. Babette Pütz, who were generous with their time and offered invaluable guidance and countless helpful suggestions along the way. During the time I spent in Germany in 2007 I received generous help from a number of people. Without the friendly guidance of Professor Stefan Kipf of the Freie Universität and Humboldt Universität in Berlin, this topic would never have taken shape as it did. It was Professor Kipf who alerted me to the possibility of making textbooks the focus of my research. I would like to thank him and the curators of the excellent textbook collections of FU and HU. Thanks also to Professor Andreas Fritsch of FU, whom I did not meet but who allowed me to access some books in his own collection. Thanks also to Dr. Josef Rabl, Chair of the Deutscher Altphilologenverband in Berlin and Brandenburg, who provided me with contacts among Latin teachers in Berlin and offered numerous helpful suggestions through e-mail correspondence and in person. I appreciate the information and personal reflexions that a number of Latin teachers have shared with me.

The Roman Empire and Its Northern Neighbours
51 Chapter III The Whole and the Parts. Emperors, Khalifs and Other Rulers (c. 500 – c. 1000) The Roman Empire and Its Northern Neighbours The great tradition of the law of war and peace did not end, even when thorough political changes occurred in the Mediterranean area and in West Asia during the period between the fifth and the seventh century. Already since the end of the third century, it had become difficult to govern the entire Roman Imperium from its capital city. Thus, next to Rome, up to four centres of government came into existence. They were in charge of districts with changing boundaries. Rulers over these districts had the title Imperator like the ruler residing in Rome; this Latin title was represented by basileus in Greek. Next to the imperial office, the ancient republican offices continued, most notably that of the consuls, even though they had few executive competences and little political clout any longer. Still, the Roman Imperium remained intact as an integrated state (civitas), based on the municipal law of the city of Rome and overarching the several districts. The most important of the newly emerging centres of government next to Rome was Byzantium (Constantinople), established under Emperor Constantine (312 – 337) on a peninsula extending into the Bosporus which separated Asia from Europe already in contemporary perspective. Up until the fifth century, political and administrative activities gradually shifted from Rome to Byzantium. At the same time, the Bishops of Rome, regarding themselves at successors to the Apostle Peter and using the title Pope (Papa or Pontifex maximus), expanded their control over the Christian church at large and converted the city of Rome from a secular into an ecclesiastical centre of government.
