Justinian’s Administration Using these four passages and your own knowledge, assess the view that Justinian was successful domestically because he chose excellent administrators. [40 marks] Interpretation A: This historian believes that Justinian himself was responsible for initiating policies. In his own law-making Justinian was largely concerned with administrative reform. In 535-6 he took this burning question in hand. General edicts abolished the sale of offices and commanded vigilant government with a rigid care of the revenue. In special edicts Justinian endeavoured to simplify provincial government, no longer sticking closely to the elaborate hierarchy of separate civil and military authorities devised by Diocletian. Under Theodora’s influence prostitutes were protected by the law from white slave-traders. There was a desire for public utility as well as for splendour and art in Justinian’s passion for building. There was wholesale new building and new cities were founded, like Justinian’s birthplace. Above them all Constantinople was favoured after the destruction caused by the Nika riot. To the public usefulness of these works may be added the employment they gave to an industrious population. Trade, too, was favoured with paternal care. Justinian’s diplomacy aimed at opening routes to the Far East which circumvented Persian control of products. The best help to industry was given by two patriotic missionaries who smuggled some silk worm eggs in hollow wands from China and so the Empire could produce its own silk which became a government monopoly. From: C. W. Previté-Orton, The Shorter Cambridge Medieval History, published in 1960. Interpretation B: This historian argues that Justinian chose competent, but not necessarily popular, officials. For all Justinian’s projects, the necessary funds were raised by a general streamlining of the system of tax collection. These measures led to popular discontent which was increased by John of Cappadocia, the official appointed by the Emperor to put them into effect. John was rough and uncouth, but Justinian recognised a superb administrator when he saw one and in 531 promoted him to Praetorian Prefect. In this capacity he instituted stringent economies to the provisioning of the army, launched a determined campaign against corruption, introduced at least 26 new taxes and did much to centralise the government. Most of these reforms were long overdue and John certainly left the financial machinery of the state in much better shape than he found it. Unfortunately he combined with his industry and efficiency, a degree of moral depravity that aroused universal contempt. By 532 he was the most hated man in the Empire. One other official ran him close and that was the jurist Tribonian. He was a man of immense erudition and breadth of learning and this quality appealed to Justinian, who was a considerable scholar himself. In Tribonian he found the one man who could bring to fruition his planned undertaking of a complete recodification of the Roman law. From: John Julius Norwich, Byzantium; The Early Centuries, published in 1988. © OCR 2017 F965/01 Jun17 Turn over 4 Interpretation C: This historian considers that there was a change in Justinian’s administration towards the end of his reign. In Justinian’s later years his regime became almost a gerontocracy. There was a noticeable lack of new blood. Incompetence or disfavour might necessitate retirement but old age did not. Liberius, the prefect of Egypt, was sent by Justinian to investigate charges against his predecessor and had him put to death, despite his claim that he had been carrying out Justinian’s orders. Justinian sent a replacement for Liberius but, at the same time instructed Liberius not to desert his post. Even when Liberius was past 80, Justinian considered him for a post in Italy as he was too elderly to be ambitious. He died aged 89. Narses who worked his way up the ranks by sheer ability and attracted the attention of Theodora, became the Emperor’s confidant. He died, immensely wealthy, at the age of 95 under Justinian’s successor. Justinian maintained faith in his officials. Corruption was a way of life in the bureaucracy but he was lenient and in return the officials kept the administrative momentum under way. In its last years, Justinian’s government showed all the defects of an ageing regime, but, one way or another, it kept the dark clouds at bay until after his death. From: J. A. S. Evans,The Age of Justinian: The Circumstances of Imperial Power, published in 1996. Interpretation D: This historian considers Justinian’s choice of officials. The Empress Theodora cheerfully accepted many of the public appearances required of the sovereign, appearances which her introverted husband was happy to forego. The result was to reinforce the emperor’s isolation in his capital, which made him extraordinarily dependent upon the men he selected to act in his name. Justinian was born with an instinct for selecting men of ability to do his bidding, notably men of intelligence and determination. Skill in government mattered far more than virtue; a good family was the sort that gave its sons native ability rather than noble ancestors. Above all, the emperor’s men possessed ambition enough to be successful, but enough loyalty to value their emperor’s success above their own. Justinian learned early that he could more easily bind a wealthy man to his will than a poor one, provided that he was the source of that wealth. He may not have excited the adoration of his lieutenants, but he was also never betrayed by any of them. This is not to say that they never betrayed one another. While Justinian may not have encouraged loathing among his closest advisers, he was clearly unbothered by it. History records no greater hatred than that exhibited by the inner circle of Justinian’s court; by Theodora for her husband’s de facto Prime Minister, John the Cappadocian, and by the Cappadocian for Justinian’s greatest general, Belisarius. From: William Rosen, Justinian’s Flea: Plague, Empire and the Birth of Europe, published in 2006. © OCR 2017 F965/01 Jun17 5 1b. Justinian’s Vision Using these four passages and your own knowledge, assess the view that Justinian’s imperial policies were driven by vision rather than circumstances. [40 marks] Interpretation A: This historian evaluates Justinian’s reputation. Few Emperors established their threatened position with such inspired opportunism as Justinian in the 530s, but, in doing so, he cast his own shadow over the rest of his reign. Compared with the euphoria of the 530s, the remaining twenty-five years of his reign seem an anti-climax. For modern scholars Justinian has been trapped in his own image. His astute manipulation of the resources of propaganda has been taken at face value. Hence he has gained the reputation of being a romantic idealist, haunted by the mirage of a renewal of the Roman Empire; and the difficulties of the succeeding years have usually been presented as the collapse of a grandiose policy. Justinian is, in fact, a more complex figure. He sought glory while the going was good, because he sorely needed it to maintain his position. He had the genius to understand the vast resources available to an east Roman emperor of the early sixth century, with its past history, a full treasury and an unrivalled supply of talent in every field. But the history of his reign was written by the alienated and the embittered. In their view Justinian had betrayed the traditionalist governing class of the empire and outflanked them in a policy of flamboyant glory.

  • Outlaw: Wilderness and Exile in Old and Middle
    THE ‘BESTLI’ OUTLAW: WILDERNESS AND EXILE IN OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH LITERATURE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sarah Michelle Haughey August 2011 © 2011 Sarah Michelle Haughey THE ‘BESTLI’ OUTLAW: WILDERNESS AND EXILE IN OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH LITERATURE Sarah Michelle Haughey, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 This dissertation, The ‘Bestli’ Outlaw: Wilderness and Exile in Old and Middle English Literature explores the reasons for the survival of the beast-like outlaw, a transgressive figure who highlights tensions in normative definitions of human and natural, which came to represent both the fears and the desires of a people in a state of constant negotiation with the land they inhabited. Although the outlaw’s shelter in the wilderness changed dramatically from the dense and menacing forests of Anglo-Saxon England to the bright, known, and mapped greenwood of the late outlaw romances and ballads, the outlaw remained strongly animalistic, other, and liminal, in strong contrast to premodern notions of what it meant to be human and civilized. I argue that outlaw narratives become particularly popular and poignant at moments of national political and ecological crisis—as they did during the Viking attacks of the Anglo-Saxon period, the epoch of intense natural change following the Norman Conquest, and the beginning of the market revolution at the end of the Middle Ages. Figures like the Anglo-Saxon resistance fighter Hereward, the exiled Marcher lord Fulk Fitz Waryn, and the brutal yet courtly Gamelyn and Robin Hood, represent a lost England imagined as pristine and forested.

Neale's translation in JMediaval Hymns and Sequences. PREFACE account of the Saxon Cathedral at Canterbury, and of the Saxon Saints buried therein, was written primarily for new THISmembers of Archaeological Societies, as well as for general readers who might desire to learn something of its history and organiza- tion in those far-away days. The matter has been drawn from the writings of men long since passed away. Their dust lies commingled with that of their successors who lived down to the time when this ancient Religious House fell upon revolutionary days, who witnessed its dissolution as a Priory of Benedictine Monks after nine centuries devoted to the service of God, and its re-establishment as a College of secular canons. This important change, taking place in the sixteenth century, was, with certain differences, a return to the organization which existed during the Saxon period.

  • Early Mercian Text Production: Authors, Dialects, and Reputations
    Early Mercian Text Production: Authors, Dialects, and Reputations Abstract There are suggestions that King Alfred’s legendary literary renaissance may have been a reaction to the efforts of the neighbouring kingdom of Mercia. According to Asser, Alfred assembled a group of literary scholars from this rival Mercian tradition at his court. But it is not clear what early literary activities these scholars could have been involved in to justify their pre-Alfredian reputation. This article tries to outline the historical and literary evidence for early Mercian text production, and the importance of this ‘other’ early literary corpus. What is our current knowledge of Mercian text production and the political and literary relationship of Mercia with Canterbury? What was the relationship of Alfred’s educational movement with its Mercian forerunner? Why is modern scholarship better informed about Alfred’s movement than any Mercian rival culture? If our current knowledge of this area is insufficient for the writing of a literary history of Mercia, a provisional list of texts and bibliography, published electronically for convenient updating, may prove useful in the meantime. Alfredian evidence for Mercian literary culture That King Alfred claims to have initiated an educational Renaissance is well known. Alfredian writings acknowledge a marked decline in learning and scholarship, at least in terms of Latin text composition and manuscript production, and at least in Wessex (Lapidge 1996, 436-439). But the same texts also suggest the existence of

  • Did England's King Alfred the Great Send Two Envoys to Christian
    Did England’s King Alfred the Great send two envoys to Christian shrines in India in 9th century? A passage in the ‘Anglo-Saxon Chronicle’ has long been the subject of intrigue. Could it have been true? And what does it tell us about Christianity in India? Philip Jelley/Wikimedia Commons [Licensed under CC BY 3.0] One of the more intriguing references to early medieval contacts between Britain and the wider world is found in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, which mentions a late ninth- century AD embassy to India that was supposedly sent by King Alfred the Great. The following post offers a quick discussion of the evidence for this voyage before going on to consider its potential context and feasibility. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle entry for 883 AD in MS F, which refers to Alfred sending alms to the shrines of St Thomas in India and St Bartholomew (Image: British Library, Cotton MS Domitian A VIII, f. 55v). According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for AD 883, King Alfred of Wessex sent two men, Sigehelm and Æthelstan, overseas with alms to carry both to Rome and to the shrines of “St Thomas in India/Indea and to St Bartholomew”, fulfilling a promise made when he besieged a Viking raiding-army at London (MSS D, E & F; also mentioned with additional details by William of Malmesbury and John of Worcester, see below). 883: Sigehelm and Athelstan took to Rome – and also to St Thomas in India and to St Bartholomew – the alms which King Alfred had vowed to send there when they besieged the raiding-army in London; and there, by the grace of God, they were very successful in obtaining their prayers in accordance with those vows.

    UCLA UCLA Previously Published Works Title Hybrid forms: translating Boethius in Anglo-Saxon England Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/23z397sz Author Weaver, Erica Publication Date 2016-12-01 DOI 10.1017/s0263675100080273 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Hybrid Forms: Translating Boethius in Anglo-Saxon England Erica Weaver Critics have long wondered about the setting and intent of the Old English translation of Boethius’s De consolatione philosophiae, first into prose and then into prosimetrum. This article situates the dual translation within the broader context of ninth- and tenth-century literary culture, challenging the received view of the two versions as separate projects and arguing instead that the Old English Boethius was conceived and received as a vernacular opus geminatum, or ‘twinned work’. While the opus geminatum and the prosimetrum are generally thought to maintain distinct generic identities, this case study allows for a more capacious understanding of both modes, which I demonstrate were inescapably linked in Anglo-Saxon circles – and which were shaped by a broader aesthetic of prose-verse mixture. Bede’s Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum contains what is undoubtedly the most famous surviving story of an Anglo-Saxon poet, the illiterate cowherd Cædmon, whose divine inspiration is supposed to have initiated a new strain of vernacular, Christian poetry, and who continues to provoke an unending series of questions about Anglo-Saxon poetic communities.1 But Bede’s history also contains a less famous anecdote about a poet, just as illuminating for Anglo-Saxon conceptions of genre and translation. In his discussion of the works of Aldhelm, abbot of Malmesbury and later bishop of Sherborne (d.
