  • The World View of the Anonymous Author of the Greek Chronicle of the Tocco
    THE WORLD VIEW OF THE ANONYMOUS AUTHOR OF THE GREEK CHRONICLE OF THE TOCCO (14th-15th centuries) by THEKLA SANSARIDOU-HENDRICKX THESIS submitted in the fulfilment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF ARTS in GREEK in the FACULTY OF ARTS at the RAND AFRIKAANS UNIVERSITY PROMOTER: DR F. BREDENKAMP JOHANNESBURG NOVEMBER 2000 EFACE When I began with my studies at the Rand Afrikaans University, and when later on I started teaching Modern Greek in the Department of Greek and Latin Studies, I experienced the thrill of joy and the excitement which academic studies and research can provide to its students and scholars. These opportunities finally allowed me to write my doctoral thesis on the world view of the anonymous author of the Greek Chronicle of the Tocco. I wish to thank all persons who have supported me while writing this study. Firstly, my gratitude goes to Dr Francois Bredenkamp, who not only has guided me throughout my research, but who has always been available for me with sound advice. His solid knowledge and large experience in the field of post-classical Greek Studies has helped me in tackling Byzantine Studies from a mixed, historical and anthropological view point. I also wish to render thanks to my colleagues, especially in the Modern Greek Section, who encouraged me to continue my studies and research. 1 am indebted to Prof. W.J. Henderson, who has corrected my English. Any remaining mistakes in the text are mine. Last but not least, my husband, Prof. B. Hendrickx, deserves my profound gratitude for his patience, encouragement and continuous support.

  • Helena Palaiologina (1431-1473) 1
    The last Serbian queen: Helena Palaiologina (1431-1473) 1 The last Serbian queen: Helena Palaiologina (*1431- +1473) Galo Garcés Ávalos / University of Lima “In October of the same year [1446], Lady Helene, Lord Thomas’ daughter, departed from Glarentza to travel to Serbia in order to marry Lazar, the son of despot Lord George. The marriage was celebrated.” George Sphrantzes, Chronicle.1 1 SPHRANTZES, George. The Fall of the Byzantine Empire: A Chronicle by George Sphrantzes, 1401-1477. Translated by Marios Philippides. University of Massachusetts Press (Amherst, 1980), p. 56. Serbian Byzantine Society https://serbianbyzantine.wordpress.com/ The last Serbian queen: Helena Palaiologina (1431-1473) 2 This was not the first time a Byzantine married a Serbian. On February 7, 1392, the young lady Jelena Dragaš arrived in Constantinople, the bride-to-be of Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos (1391-1425). A grand-niece of the great Serbian Emperor Stefan Dušan, and daughter of one of the last great lords of the remnants of the Serbian Empire in Central Greece, she would be the last empress-mother of Byzantium, and the mother of the last Palaeologi.2 Her granddaughter, following her example, would become the last Despoina of Serbia.3 Helena’s father, Thomas, was the youngest son of Manuel II Palaiologos and the last Byzantine Despot to rule over the Morea, as well as a fierce advocate of the Union between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, which he considered was the path for the ultimate salvation of Byzantium. Her mother, Aikaterine Asanina- Zaccaria, was the daughter of the last ruler of Latin Achaea, Centurione Zaccaria, vassal of Ladislas d’Anjou-Durazzo, King of Naples and lord of what remained of Frankish Morea.4 Serbo-Byzantine marriages had occurred many times in the past years, when the Empire was still vast and powerful.

This painful recycling of history should make him—and us—want to know what unhealable wound, what recurrent pathology, what cause too deep for journalists and politicians to discern draws men and women to their deaths again and again in such a place. The history of Rome, as has often been true in the past, has much to teach us.

Annick Peters-Custot Between Rome and Constantinople: the Romanness of Byzantine southern Italy (9th –11th centuries) Medieval Southern Italy and Sicily hosted the three monotheisms, the two main spheres of Christianity, Roman and Oriental, an Islamic polity, two empires, princi- palities, and many different kingdoms: the most important political entities and the main communities of the medieval Mediterranean coexisted in a restricted area. It is no wonder that this zone is nowadays considered as a laboratory for the analysis of medieval Mediterranean communities: Norman ethnogenesis, Greek iden- tity and communities, Sicilian ‘Mozarabs’ and Sicilian Arab-speaking Jews, the con- cepts of identity and of community.

  • Reinventing Roman Ethnicity in High and Late Medieval Byzantium
    Reinventing Roman Ethnicity in High and Late Medieval Byzantium Yannis Stouraitis* This paper seeks to position the Byzantine paradigm within the broader discussion of identity, ethnicity and nationhood before Modernity. In about the last decade, there has been a revived interest in research into collective identity in Byzantine society, with a number of new publica- tions providing various arguments about the ethno-cultural or national character of Byzantine Romanness as well as its relationship to Hellenic identity. Contrary to an evident tendency in research thus far to relate Byzantine, i.e. medieval Roman, identity to a dominant essence – be it ethnic Hellenism, Chalcedonian orthodoxy or Roman republicanism – the approach adopt- ed here aims to divert attention to the various contents and the changing forms of Byzantine Romanness as well as to its function as a dominant mode of collective identification in the medieval Empire of Constantinople. The main thesis of the paper is that the development of Roman identity in the East after the turning point of the seventh century and up to the final sack of Constantinople by the Ottomans in 1453 needs to be examined as one of the most fas- cinating cases of transformation of a pre-modern social order’s collective identity discourse, one which culminated in an extensive reconstruction of the narrative of the community’s his- torical origins by the educated élite. Last but not least, the problematization of the function of Romanness as an ethnicity in the Byzantine case offers an interesting example for comparison in regards to the debated role of ethnicity as a factor of political loyalty in the pre-modern era.

This harmonious relationship, if there was one, was mired in conflict between the secular and ecclesiastical rulers in Byzantium. What were these conflicts, how were they worked out between them, and how do these conflicts affect our understanding of the existence of a symphony of powers? Was the Emperor also a priest? I hypothesize that the concept of a harmonious relationship between the Basileus and Patriarch was more honored in the breach than in the observance.

  • Byzantine Names for SCA Personae
    1 A Short (and rough) Guide to Byzantine Names for SCA personae This is a listing of names that may be useful for constructing Byzantine persona. Having said that, please note that the term „Byzantine‟ is one that was not used in the time of the Empire. They referred to themselves as Romans. Please also note that this is compiled by a non-historian and non-linguist. When errors are detected, please let me know so that I can correct them. Additional material is always welcomed. It is a work in progress and will be added to as I have time to research more books. This is the second major revision and the number of errors picked up is legion. If you have an earlier copy throw it away now. Some names of barbarians who became citizens are included. Names from „client states‟ such as Serbia and Bosnia, as well as adversaries, can be found in my other article called Names for other Eastern Cultures. In itself it is not sufficient documentation for heraldic submission, but it will give you ideas and tell you where to start looking. The use of (?) means that either I have nothing that gives me an idea, or that I am not sure of what I have. If there are alternatives given of „c‟, „x‟ and „k‟ modern scholarship prefers the „k‟. „K‟ is closer to the original in both spelling and pronunciation.

Introduction In 324 the Roman Emperor Constantine was very concerned about the barbarian invasions, which were literally at the gates of Rome. So Constantine moved the Empire’s capital to a little known Greek colony called Byzance. As the Western Empire fell apart and disappeared in 476, the Eastern Empire based in Byzance Constantinople survived until 1453. Byzance became the great city of Constantinople. The Eastern Empire or Byzantium founded a rich culture based on the Greek traditions and Christianity.

Cl JUSTIFICATION As at Qal'a of Beni Hammad (Algeria) and Kilwa Kisiwani (Tanzania), included on the World Heritage List in 1980 and 1981 respectively, the breathtaking complex of the ruins of Mystras offers the image of a city with a brillant destiny which was deserted by men and threatened by the return of encroaching vegetation that is splitting the walls and covering the slopes, thus destroying here and there fragile traces of history. Mystras came into existence in 1248-1249 when the Frankish lord, William II of Villehardouin, Prince of Achaia, resolved to build a great castle atop the 620 m hill overlooking Sparta.

  • Basileus and Anax in Homer and Mycenaean Greek Texts
    Basileus and Anax in Homer and Mycenaean Greek Texts The decipherment of the Mycenaean Linear B tablets made clear that the Homeric epics have astonishing parallels to Bronze Age material culture, but that, at the same time, vast worlds lie between, on the one hand, the highly complex Mycenaean palace economy with its strictly hierarchical system of officials and on the other, the holding of complete authority of innumerable small kings that Homer describes. Hildebrandt 2007, 173 (trans. mine) MAGINE BEING asked to explain the differences in meaning of terms and titles in the English lexicon long associated with the exercise of power. Consider a limited I assortment of masculine-gendered words that have designated top power figures: emperor, king, chief justice, president, dictator, director, chancellor, provost, prime minis- ter, general, crown prince. Further imagine having to study collections of poems and songs and haphazardly preserved institutional accounting records from random years in the distant past in order to reconstruct exactly what these terms meant, how they were used, and what precise nuances each had in different periods over time. This is something like what is facing us when we take up the two key terms for rulers in the Homeric poems βασιλεύς (basileus) and ἄναξ (Homeric anax, Mycenaean wanax) (Shear 2004, 77‒80; Palaima 1995, 119‒25; Hildebrandt 2007, 185‒9). During the Mycenaean palatial period (1500‒1200 b.c.) wanax was the word for a high or paramount king of the palatial center in each geographical region. The term gwasileus that evolved in historical times into basileus was used in the Linear B texts to refer to a local “big man” or “chief” (Ventris and Chadwick 1973, 576) who derived his authority, power, and social honor at the local level.
