The Fall of Satan in the Thought of St. Ephrem and John Milton
Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies, Vol. 3.1, 3–27 © 2000 [2010] by Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute and Gorgias Press THE FALL OF SATAN IN THE THOUGHT OF ST. EPHREM AND JOHN MILTON GARY A. ANDERSON HARVARD DIVINITY SCHOOL CAMBRIDGE, MA USA ABSTRACT In the Life of Adam and Eve, Satan “the first-born” refused to venerate Adam, the “latter-born.” Later writers had difficulty with the tale because it granted Adam honors that were proper to Christ (Philippians 2:10, “at the name of Jesus, every knee should bend.”) The tale of Satan’s fall was then altered to reflect this Christological sensibility. Milton created a story of Christ’s elevation prior to the creation of man. Ephrem, on the other hand, moved the story to Holy Saturday. In Hades, Death acknowledged Christ as the true first- born whereas Satan rejected any such acclamation. [1] For some time I have pondered the problem of Satan’s fall in early Jewish and Christian sources. My point of origin has been the justly famous account found in the Life of Adam and Eve (hereafter: Life).1 1 See G. Anderson, “The Exaltation of Adam and the Fall of Satan,” Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy, 6 (1997): 105–34. 3 4 Gary A. Anderson I say justly famous because the Life itself existed in six versions- Greek, Latin, Armenian, Georgian, Slavonic, and Coptic (now extant only in fragments)-yet the tradition that the Life drew on is present in numerous other documents from Late Antiquity.2 And one should mention its surprising prominence in Islam-the story was told and retold some seven times in the Koran and was subsequently subject to further elaboration among Muslim exegetes and storytellers.3 My purpose in this essay is to carry forward work I have already done on this text to the figures of St. -
Intertextuality and Symbolism in the Legend of Hagia Sophia Vencer A
Defeating Solomon: Intertextuality and Symbolism in the Legend of Hagia Sophia Vencer a Salomón: intertextualidad y simbolismo en la leyenda de Santa Sofía VICTORIA GERHOLD Summary 1. Introduction 2. The Emperor, the Angels and the Church 3. Hagia Sophia, the Final Temple 4. Conclusion Abstract: One of the main literary topics of the Byzantine legend of Hagia Sophia is the comparison between the church built by Emperor Justinian and the temple of Solomon. Previous studies have shown that this topic is elaborated through an intertextual connection between the legendary description of the construction of Hagia Sophia and the biblical description of the construction of the temple of Jerusalem (2 Kings 24: 1, 25; 3 Kings 5: 15-9: 25; 1 Paralipomena 21: 1-8: 16). In the present article, we will argue that the legend also presents intertextual connections with other biblical texts (such as Ezekiel) and even para- biblical texts (such as the Testament of Solomon). Keywords: Hagia Sophia; Solomon; legend; Testament of Solomon; Ezekiel Resumen: Uno de los principales temas literarios de la leyenda de Santa Sofía es la comparación entre esa iglesia (re)construida por el Emperador Justiniano y el templo de Salomón. Estudios previos han demostrado que la elaboración literaria de este tema estuvo basada en una relación intertextual entre la descripción legendaria de la construcción de Santa Sofía y la descripción bíblica la construcción del templo de Jerusalén (2 Reyes 24:1:25; 3 Reyes 5:15-9:25; 1 Paralipomena 21:1-8:16). En el presente trabajo propondremos que la leyenda presenta además conexiones intertextuales con otros textos bíblicos (como Ezequiel) e incluso para-bíblicos (como el Testamento de Salomón). -

Classification of Demons
Classification of demons There have been various attempts throughout history by theologian scholars in the classification of Christian demons for the purpose of understanding the biblical and mythological context of adversarial spirits. Theologians have written dissertations in Christian demonology, classical occultism, classical mythology and Renaissance magic to clarify the connections between these spirits and their influence in various cultures. The study of demonology was historically used to understand morality, behavioral tendencies, and has even been used as symbolism to relay anecdotal tales in with which they lure people into temptation and may also include the angels or saints that were believed to have been their adversaries; an idea which derived from the Biblical battle between the Archangel Michael and Piccalo in The Book of Revelation (12:7-9) describing a war in heaven which resulted in Satan and his angels being expelled from Heaven. The classifications of these fallen angels are based on many other characteristics as well, such as behaviors that caused their fall from heaven, physical appearances or the methods that were used to torment people, The Temptation of St. Anthony by Martin cause maladies, or elicit dreams, emotions, etc. Most authors Schongauer who wrote theological dissertations on the subject either truly believed in the existence of infernal spirits, or wrote as a philosophical guide to understanding an ancient perspective of behavior and morality in folklore and religious themes.

Salomo Und Die Dämonen
SALOMO UND DIE DÄMONEN Pekka Såirkiö Eine besondere archäologische Fundgruppe im syrisch-palästinisch-babylonischen Raum sind Tonschalen mit inschrifrlichen Beschwörungsformeln, die vorwiegend in das 5. bis 8. christliche Jahrhundert zu datieren sind. I Die Beschwörungs- schalen sind eines der Forschungsgebiete von Prof. Dr. Tapani Harviainen, der die zwei in finnische Sammlungen gelangten aramÊiischen Beschwörungsschalen ge' deutet und publiziert hat. Eine der Schalen ist ein Geschenk des Stââts Ifak an Präsident Urho Kekkonen.2 Es besteht keine Einigkeit tiber die Benutzung der Beschwörungsschalen, aber nach einer Theorie waren die Schalen auf dem Kopf rings um das Haus als Fallen ftir die Dåimonen aufgestellt.3 Dies erinnert an die Fähigkeit des israeli- tischen Königs Salomo, Dämonen zu binden und in Tongeftisse einzuschließen. Die Tradition über Salomo als Henscher und Beschwörer der Dämonen entstand erst in der hellenistischenZeit,also gut 600 hundert Jahre nach dem Tod Salomos, und bestand bis ins Mittelalter. Das Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, einige Traditions- linien zu ziehen, die das Thema Salomo und die Dämonen etwas beleuchten.a DER URSPRIJNG VON SALOMOS RUF ALS MAGIER Der Ursprung der Weisheit Salomos war nach der atl. Tradition göttlich. Gott verlieh dem jungen König mehr Weisheit und Einsicht als irgend jemand anderem (l Kön 3,12). Zu der Weisheit Salomos gehörte neben der kybernetischen Weis- I lch danke herzlich Dr. Stefan Krauter aus Stuttgart, der das Manuskript sorgfìtltig durch gesehen hat. 2 Harviainen 1978; 1981. Urho Kekkonen 1900-1986, Staatsprfuident 1956-82. 3 Montgomery l9l3: 4lf.; Naveh & Shaked 1985: t5; Iuusola 1999: 5 17. 4 Frilhere Untersuchungen llber das Thema "salomo und die Dämonen" haben u.a' Euringer (1928), Preisendanz (1956), Giversen (19?2), Duling (1975) und Charlesworth (1995) geschrieben. -
