CHAPTER 9 in the Following Pages, I Provide Seals of Some of the Heirs Of CHAPTER 9 Seals In the following pages, I provide seals of some of the heirs of John Vladislav as published and interpreted by Ivan Iordanov. Some of them have been previ- ously published, while others are published for the first time. I have relied pri- marily on Ivan Iordanov’s article, “Pechati na potomcite na car Ivan Vladislav (1016–1018) văv Vizantia,” Arkheologiia 38 (1996), no. 4, pp. 7–22, as well as on his later study, Korpus na pechatite v srednovekovna Bălgariia (Sofia, 2001), pp. 176–199. 1 Presian-Prusian This is the eldest son of John Vladislav, who, in 1018, received the title magis- tros. He participated in various conspiracies, later on he was blinded and exiled to a monastery. After 103 years, his name is not mentioned any more. A seal of a certain Prasian (according to another reading, Luka Presian) is known, which is dated to the late 11th century. However, it is not sure that the seal is connected to his monastery. Seal of the monastery of Prasian Commentary: Referring to his previous publications, Ivan Iordanov raises doubts about the relation of the person mentioned on the seal and the eldest son of John Vladislav. However, according to Vitalien Laurent, “Princes bulgares dans la sigillographie byzantine,” Echos d’Orient 33 (1934), 432–33, the seal belonged to one of the sons of Alusian, the son of John Vladislav. 2 Alusian 1 Basil Alusian Lord, help Basil Alusian, vestarch and strategos. Lord, help Basil Alusian, proedros and duke. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, ���7 | doi ��.��63/978900435�995_0�� 310 CHAPTER 9 Commentary: Iordanov, “Pechati na potomcite,” pp. 9–10 believes this this person to be the same as that mentioned under the same name by Matthew of Edessa, an au- thor from the second half of the 11th century, whose work may be found above. 2 Samuel Alusian Lord, help your servant Samuel Alusian, vestarch and strategos (dated to the 1060s and 1070s). Lord, help your servant Samuel Alusian, vestarch and duke of Edessa (dated to the 1060s and 1070s). Mother of God, help Samuel Alusian, proedros and duke (dated to the 1070s). Commentary: According to Iordanov, there is another seal, which besides “Samuel,” also has “Basil,” in other words, has a double reading. Mother of God, help Samuel Alusian, proedros and duke. Mother of God, help your servant Samuel Alusian, proedros and duke. Commentary: Samuel Alusian was a brother of Empress Catherine and one of the sons of John Vladislav. Iordanov, “Pechatite na potomcite,” p. 10 and Korpus, pp. 47–48, notes that Basil and Samuel had similar careers, which, of course does not exclude the possibility of some other Alusian being duke of Edessa, given that there are certain differences in the images on the seals. 3 Constantine Alusian Lord, help the vestarches Constantine Alusian (dated to the 1060s and 1070s). Commentary: Iordanov could not find any parallels to the seal of Constantine Alusian. 4 Elpidiphoros Alusian Lord, help your servant Elpidiphoros Alusian, kouropalates (late 11th to early 12th century)..

    Imagining Christ May 6 to July 27, 2008 The J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center Medieval and Renaissance images of Christ provided visual accounts of the historical figure described in the Gospels and served as powerful entry points to prayer. Though today the study of the complete Bible is fairly common, most medieval worshippers who were not members of the clergy depended largely on church services and private prayer books to access the word of God. The illuminations in this exhibition demonstrate the multiple, overlapping ways in which Christ was under¬stood to be simultaneously human and divine, the son of God and God, the sacrifice made for mankind, and the divine judge who would save or condemn humanity at the end of time. -Kristen Collins Department of Manuscripts 6 6 1.

  • The Evolution of Hospitals from Antiquity to the Renaissance
    Acta Theologica Supplementum 7 2005 THE EVOLUTION OF HOSPITALS FROM ANTIQUITY TO THE RENAISSANCE ABSTRACT There is some evidence that a kind of hospital already existed towards the end of the 2nd millennium BC in ancient Mesopotamia. In India the monastic system created by the Buddhist religion led to institutionalised health care facilities as early as the 5th century BC, and with the spread of Buddhism to the east, nursing facilities, the nature and function of which are not known to us, also appeared in Sri Lanka, China and South East Asia. One would expect to find the origin of the hospital in the modern sense of the word in Greece, the birthplace of rational medicine in the 4th century BC, but the Hippocratic doctors paid house-calls, and the temples of Asclepius were vi- sited for incubation sleep and magico-religious treatment. In Roman times the military and slave hospitals were built for a specialised group and not for the public, and were therefore not precursors of the modern hospital. It is to the Christians that one must turn for the origin of the modern hospital. Hospices, originally called xenodochia, ini- tially built to shelter pilgrims and messengers between various bishops, were under Christian control developed into hospitals in the modern sense of the word. In Rome itself, the first hospital was built in the 4th century AD by a wealthy penitent widow, Fabiola. In the early Middle Ages (6th to 10th century), under the influence of the Be- nedictine Order, an infirmary became an established part of every monastery.

  • THE CRUSADES Toward the End of the 11Th Century
    THE MIDDLE AGES: THE CRUSADES Toward the end of the 11th century (1000’s A.D), the Catholic Church began to authorize military expeditions, or Crusades, to expel Muslim “infidels” from the Holy Land!!! Crusaders, who wore red crosses on their coats to advertise their status, believed that their service would guarantee the remission of their sins and ensure that they could ​ ​ spend all eternity in Heaven. (They also received more worldly rewards, such as papal protection of their property and forgiveness of some kinds of loan payments.) ‘Papal’ = Relating to The Catholic Pope (Catholic Pope Pictured Left <<<) The Crusades began in 1095, when Pope Urban summoned a Christian army to fight its way to Jerusalem, and continued on and off until the end of the 15th century (1400’s A.D). No one “won” the Crusades; in fact, many thousands of people from both sides lost their lives. They did make ordinary Catholics across Christendom feel like they had a common purpose, and they inspired waves of religious enthusiasm among people who might otherwise have felt alienated from the official Church. They also exposed Crusaders to Islamic literature, science and technology–exposure that would have a lasting effect on European intellectual life. GET THE INFIDELS (Non-Muslims)!!!! >>>> <<<“GET THE MUSLIMS!!!!” Muslims From The Middle East VS, European Christians WHAT WERE THE CRUSADES? By the end of the 11th century, Western Europe had emerged as a significant power in its own right, though it still lagged behind other Mediterranean civilizations, such as that of the Byzantine Empire (formerly the eastern half of the Roman Empire) and the Islamic Empire of ​ ​ ​ the Middle East and North Africa.

BUTLER JOURNAL OF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH, VOLUME 5 THE COMEDIA NORMANNORUM: NORMAN IDENTITY AND HISTORIOGRAPHY IN THE 11TH-12TH CENTURIES PATRICK STROUD, WABASH COLLEGE MENTOR: STEPHEN MORILLO Introduction—How Symbols and Ethnography Tie to Historical Myth Since the 1970s, historians have tried many different methodologies for exploring texts. Because multiple paradigms tempt the historian’s gaze, medieval texts can often befuddle readers in their hagiographies and chronologies. At the same time, these texts also give the historian a unique opportunity in the form of cultural insight. In his 1995 work Making History: The Normans and their Historians in Eleventh-Century Italy, Kenneth Baxter Wolf discusses a text’s role in medieval historiography. A professor of History at Pomona College, Wolf divides historical commentary on medieval primary sources into two ends of a spectrum. While one end worries itself on the accuracy and classical “truth” of a source, the other end, postmodern historiography, uses historical records “to tell us how the people who wrote them conceived of the events occurring in the world around them.”1 The historian treats a medieval text as a launching pad for cultural analysis.

  • Looking for Interpreter Zero: (14) the First Crusade & the Byzantine Story
    Looking for Interpreter Zero: (14) The First Crusade & the Byzantine Story A body of interpreters & translators was active during the reign of Alexios I Komnenos', a ruler open to foreigners and diplomacy. Christine ADAMS. Published: April 16, 2017 Last updated: April 16, 2017 "Lord aid Sphenis, patrikios (patrician) and interpreter of the English."[1] After Alexios I Komnenos (reigned 1081-1118) seized power in Byzantium1081 he became involved in a series of negotiations, understandings and alliances as he sought to protect his land from depredations and conquest from all sides. His agreements with Normans and Turks in the 1080s can be read as a prelude to his most significant rapprochement: the embassy he sent to Pope Urban II in the spring of 1095 which led to the First Crusade. His manifest openness to foreigners and willingness to engage in the niceties of diplomacy characterised his turbulent reign. One reason for the Emperor’s open-mindedness could well be the fact that he was raised with a Turk – Tatikios - who was the son of one of his father’s captives. It may have been felt useful to provide him with some exposure to Turkish as it was expected that he would have contact with Turkish mercenaries later in life. It has even been suggested that for an emperor “not to have to rely on interpreters was obviously important”[2] but that was probably a minor consideration in a land that depended heavily on mercenaries and had a large immigrant community. The need to address foreigners was built into the structures of Byzantium.

  • The Crusades
    THE CRUSADES Thomas Madden is chair of the history department at St. Louis University and author of: “A Concise History of the Crusades”, In October 2004 Zenit, the International News Agency, interviewed him. This interview is reproduced here with permission. Q: What are some common misconceptions about the Crusades [and] the Crusaders? Madden: The following are some of the most common myths and why they are wrong. Myth 1: The Crusades were wars of unprovoked aggression against a peaceful Muslim world. This is as wrong as wrong can be. From the time of Mohammed, Muslims had sought to conquer the Christian world. They did a pretty good job of it, too. After a few centuries of steady conquests, Muslim armies had taken all of North Africa, the Middle East, Asia Minor and most of Spain. In other words, by the end of the 11th century the forces of Islam had captured two-thirds of the Christian world. Palestine, the home of Jesus Christ; Egypt, the birthplace of Christian monasticism; Asia Minor, where St. Paul planted the seeds of the first Christian communities -- these were not the periphery of Christianity but its very core. And the Muslim empires were not finished yet. They continued to press westward toward Constantinople, ultimately passing it and entering Europe itself. As far as unprovoked aggression goes, it was all on the Muslim side. At some point what was left of the Christian world would have to defend itself or simply succumb to Islamic conquest. Myth 2: The Crusaders wore crosses, but they were really only interested in capturing booty and land.
