L'AcADEMiE FK., Sur fc Cid. DUBLIN : for \ |rintt& AT THE UNIVEESITY PRESS, BY M. H. GILL. 1860. StacR Annex INTRODUCTION. " EVERYTHING in ethnology is a balance between conflicting difficulties, and I can only hope that I have approached a full and complete exhibition of the ethnology of ancient Ger- many" (Germ. 1851, p. iv.). If the early founders of the three great and leading states, Deutschl&nd, England, and France, be not sufficiently recognised in that exhibition, it may be permitted to attempt, by way of supplement, an ap- proach to greater fulness and completion. If the learned author had been aware that Tacitus mentions the Jutes along with the Angli, he would have been more positive about the latter, and less against the former; if he had cultivated a nearer acquaintance with the Franks, he might have discovered in them the mysterious Cimbri Teutones, instead of declaring these, in 1844, to be Gauls; in 1851 "a greater mystery than " ever" last if one of the two (Germania, page) ; populations must be Gothic, the claim is the strongest for the Cimbri so is the utterly worthless the argument from word Deutsch" (ib., " a p. 135). Again, in 1857, the Teutones, population of which we find no definite trace afterwards" (Celt. Nations, to p. 142), and the Cimbri "more likely have been Kelts than Germans, and quite as likely to have been Slavonians as Kelts" " I (ib.) think that the Cimbri were Slavonians. That they had as little to do with the Cimbric Chersonese as the Teutones had with Dutch, I am sure" (ib. p. 151). Nineteen hundred and sixty years have elapsed since Teu- tones and Cimbri appear together in action; two centuries later, we read in detail the glorious deeds of the Cimbri, and that are victi finally they triumphati magis quam (Germ. 37) ; in the above quotations they appear simulati magis quam victi, but a real victory must ensue when the simulation shall be proved to consist in the fact that Cimbri is translated by Franks, whose second name Teutones radically remains the in the ninth the latter becomes the same ; thus, century, parent 2111130 of the former of Otfrid's as the same and deutsch, frenkisg ; whilst teutonic and deutsch are likewise the same, both in root and meaning, the immediate origin of the two is differently modified by time and circumstances. Dissertations, accumulated for the last three centuries on the origin of deutsch or teutsch, have their cause in justifying the orthographical choice in- cumbent on each author; the Deutsche Grammatik, 1840, thus " decides for the D : Wer den namen unsers volks mit T schreibt, siindet wider den sprachgeist" (Gr., p. 28-9). This be admitted but a sacred than the said might ; spirit more sprachgeist is seriously offended at the Excurs iiber Deutsch, which exposes its ingenious author to forty errors for the pur- of : pose mainly establishing two firstly, that the same diot, a people, which in the fourth century produces piudisko, heathenish, is the origin, whence, in the ninth, we obtain that national that the itself has an in- name ; secondly, root deut herent, though as yet mysterious, power of alluding to the German people and language. These two great sins wider den sprachgeist have been reiterated in the 2nd vol. of Deutsches Wb'rterbuch, 1860; the first, that deutsch comes from diot, a . people, thus, col. 1144, "Diet, &c., volk, gens, &c. das adj. " diutisch gehort dazu;" col. 1043, da es von diet, goth, piuda, ahd. diota wie I 3 so diot, abstammt, Gramm. , 14, gezeigt ist, bedeutet es urspriinglich gentilis, popularis, vulgaris; im gothischen heiszt piudisko WVIKUG ;" the second, that the mere root contains an occult'power of alluding to Germanic nation- " col. da aber ze diute in der redensart ality ; thus, 1038, Ze diute sagen reden (Ben. i. 327) nicht blosz deutlich sondern haufig zu deutsch heiszt, zumal im gegensatz zu der lat. kirchensprache, so wird man auf einen zusammenhang mit dem goth. piuda, ahd. diota, diot geleitet, und deuten ware so viel als dem volk, den Deutschen, verstdndlich machen." The conjecture proposed by Dr. Heinrich Leo in Jahrb. f. wissen. Kritik, 1827, limits the original deutsch to the idea of heathenish, and thus, not interfering with the cognation to which the pretended piuda might belong, remains lucid, simple, and comparatively harmless, whereas the said bipartite system, holding the verdunkelte wurzel (Gr., p. 19) re- sponsible for the power with which it invests an old Teuto (ib., p. 17, 20) to beget progeny of a family-likeness peculiarly Germanic, combines a strangely perplexed mysteriousness with those dangerous results briefly repeated in a national work, as if truly matured, after twenty years' deliberation, by a writer so universally and deservedly accredited as Jacob Grimm; but, instead of thus extinguishing a dim light of tradition by a still more obscure of reflection, we shall en- deavour to improve the former by collecting its genuine rays of incidence with those of clear reflection, and thus exhibit, through the dense clouds of a distant horizon, a certain trans- mitted dawn as the true harbinger of day, truly Lucifer, such as the poet of Paradise sees the latter emerge, Last in the train of night, Sure pledge of day. Descend, then, O Muse, who dwellest sublime in adamantine Epea Pteroenta, the work of all-encompassing Chronos, and thus inaccessible to mortal unassisted; descend to illumine these inveterate pages, dedicated to thee and Clio divine, whose interpreter thou art; vouchsafe, even here in the fore- hall of thy unerring shrine, to declare unto the nations, jahan geer, jahan afroz, those who now conquer and enlighten the world, where, and who, are they, when rude prowess is yet their greatest excellence, and proud neighbours call them barbarians ? To this and appertaining inquiries deliver due responses, in number and order the following seven : I. May the three sons of Mannus represent the triad of Angle, Saxon, and Jute, and these be identified with the three super- albian tribes mentioned by Pomponius Mela ? " Of Mannus and his, the Germania says: Manno tres filios adsignant, e quorum nominibus proximi Oceano In- gasvones, medii Hermiones, ceteri Istajvones vocentur." The " statement by Mela is the following: Super Albim Codanus, &c. In eo sunt et Teutoni ingens sinus, Cimbri ; ultra, ultimi Germanise Hermiones." Pliny applies the name Cimbri to the Angles, and the identification of the double triad with the sons of Mannus will be the following:O 1. Ingsevones. Cimbri. Angli. The meaning of Cimbri is borderers, and suits the situation of the Angles between river and sea, like the aTevoiropa fiuOpa (Iphig. 81), formed by the Euripus with the adjoining sea. From thus living errevwe, stinted, in angustia, in der Enge, we may derive the first root of Ingaevones, in agreement with Angli. 2. Istaevones. Teutoni. Saxons. Compounds of Is = teu = sac = water, and von = ton = son = dwell; also ton = ?on = low and = land occur alike teut = ton = tan = = ; similarly land low = settle. 3. Hermiones. Better often Herminones, so that on is the von of the preceding two, to which pair the Her-min is op- posed in implying elevation, although this might consist in artificial mound as well as natural mount, hill. Hermin then becomes German, identified in passages like Or-tan-i qui et German! since or = elevation = = border ; beginning (or =initium, Gr., p. 338), and tan, as just mentioned; German! is also ren- dered Tungri, contracted for Tun-ger-i, the tun being the said tan. The peninsular situation of the Jutes procured them = the name RerSgoths, compound of gota aqua, and rrS, clivus or (Gr., p. 433), else, raus, arundo (ib., p. 99), whence reed and rush. The Sanscrit dandaka means peninsula (of India) from danda, stick, rod, &c. ; Cher-son of South Russia, and Cher-son-es-us, show the Her, Ger, under consideration, and the son mentioned at Istaevones, of which the Is agrees with es in Cherson-es-us. II. Besides the above triad, there are four specified in a differ- ent tradition, who are meant by these ? Quidam. autern licentia vetustatis, plures deo ortos, plures- que gentis appellationes, Marsos, Gambrivios, Suevos, Vanda- lios adtirmant: eaque vera et antiqua nomina (Germ., 2). Of Suevi Tacitus has two; hence the quaternion will con- sist of the following five: 1. Marsi in old mar- ; originates Mar-is, Mar-ais, English ish; Terra in universum paludibus faeda (Germ., 5). 2. Gam-brivii ; Borderers of the low-lands. These are the Cimbri of Germ. 37. 3. Suevi 38 treats of these. The root sue = = ; gam border. 4. 9 et Isidi sacrificat. Suevi ; pars Suevorum They are the Visigoths of the Baltic. = 5. Vandalii; the Ostro-goths of the Danube. Van=goth water, and al = ostro = island in a river. III. How can Pliny's Germanorum genera quinque be recon- ciled with those ethnologic traditions by Tacitus ? The agree- ment will be as follows : 1. "Vindili; quorum pars Burgundiones: Varini, Carini, Guttones." the last mentioned the Bur- Vindili are Visigoths, Suevi ; Ermeland. The re- gundiones, afterwards Armalausi, now maining three correspond to Marienwerder, Courland, Esth- land, or Esthonia. 2. " Teuton! ac Chau- Ingsevones ; quorum pars Cirabri, corurn gentes." According to the above definition of Ing, and as every Angle is a Saxon, both, as also Marsi and Chauci, may come under the one term.

  • 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.

  • Tradition and Sustainability in Vernacular Architecture of Southeast Morocco
    sustainability Article Tradition and Sustainability in Vernacular Architecture of Southeast Morocco Teresa Gil-Piqueras * and Pablo Rodríguez-Navarro Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestión para el Desarrollo Sostenible–PEGASO, Universitat Politècnica de València, Cno. de Vera, s/n, 46022 Valencia, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This article is presented after ten years of research on the earthen architecture of southeast- ern Morocco, more specifically that of the natural axis connecting the cities of Midelt and Er-Rachidia, located North and South of the Moroccan northern High Atlas. The typology studied is called ksar (ksour, pl.). Throughout various research projects, we have been able to explore this territory, documenting in field sheets the characteristics of a total of 30 ksour in the Outat valley, 20 in the mountain range and 53 in the Mdagra oasis. The objective of the present work is to analyze, through qualitative and quantitative data, the main characteristics of this vernacular architecture as a perfect example of an environmentally respectful habitat, obtaining concrete data on its traditional character and its sustainability. The methodology followed is based on case studies and, as a result, we have obtained a typological classification of the ksour of this region and their relationship with the territory, as well as the social, functional, defensive, productive, and building characteristics that define them. Knowing and puttin in value this vernacular heritage is the first step towards protecting it and to show our commitment to future generations. Keywords: ksar; vernacular architecture; rammed earth; Morocco; typologies; oasis; High Atlas; sustainable traditional architecture Citation: Gil-Piqueras, T.; Rodríguez-Navarro, P.

  • Cgpt1; MAGNA GERMANIA; CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY BOOK 2, CHAPTER 10; FACT OR FICTION
    cgPt1; MAGNA GERMANIA; CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY BOOK 2, CHAPTER 10; FACT OR FICTION SYNOPSIS The locations of some +8000 settlements and geographical features are included within the text of Claudius Ptolemy‟s „Geographia‟. To control the text and ensure readers understood the methodology there-in utilised it is evident that Claudius Ptolemy determined a strict order and utilisation of the information he wished to disseminate. That strict methodology is maintained through the first 9 chapters of Book 2, but the 10th chapter breaks all of the rules that had been established. Chapters 11 to 15 then return to the established pattern. Magna Germania was basically unknown territory and in such a situation Claudius Ptolemy was able to ignore any necessity to guess thus leaving an empty landscape as is evinced in Book 3, chapter 5, Sarmatian Europe. Why in an unknown land there are 94 settlements indicated in Germania when the 3 provinces of Gallia have only a total of 114 settlements, is a mystery? And, why does Claudius Ptolemy not attribute a single settlement to a tribal group? It appears there are other factors at play, which require to be investigated. BASIC PTOLEMY When analysing a map drawn from the data provided by Claudius Ptolemy it is first necessary to ensure that it is segregated into categories. Those are; 1) reliable information i.e. probably provided via the Roman Army Cosmographers and Geometres; 2) the former information confirmed or augmented by various itineraries or from Bematists; 3) the possibility of latitudinal measurements from various settlements (gnomon ratios); 4) basic travellers tales with confirmed distances „a pied‟; 5) basic sailing distances along coastlines and those which can be matched to land distances; 6) guesses made by travellers who did not actually record the days travelled but only the length of time for the overall journey; 7) obscure references from ancient texts which cannot be corroborated.

  • Turbulent and Mighty Continent
    one Eu rope: Turbulent and Mighty Continent G reece was dying in the summer of 2013, and the drama around the event was as poignant as anything Sophocles has written. I was in Athens to deliver some lectures, but I was witnessing, if press reports were to be believed, what appeared to be the imminent downfall of the cradle of Western civilization and the disturbing inertia toward its plight displayed by the rest of the Eu ro pean family of nations. The pillars of a functioning state were shaking: inflation, unemployment, and the national debt were out of control, and law and order on the verge of collapse. The dying pro­ cess was confirmed when one day state TV was abruptly and in def initely suspended as employees could no longer receive their salaries. The last straw was the steady trickle of desperate refugees arriving from North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia swelling the ranks of those impoverished mi grants already pres ent. Squeezed by the economic crisis, the traditionally hospitable Greeks vented their frustrations at the unend­ ing numbers of refugees and immigrants as they sought aid and refuge; and the greater the economic woes, the greater the popularity of the Far Right parties and the more extreme their rhe toric of hate. Groups like the Golden Dawn, with their swastika-­like emblem, were parading about dressed up as faux-­Nazis, giving Nazi salutes, and even displaying pictures of Adolf Hitler. Their target this time around was the mainly Muslim refugee and immigrant community. Their message was simple and effective, and it was influencing how people thought about the subject: Muslims were not part of Eu ro pean identity, nor had they contributed anything to Western civili­ zation.

  • Instrumentalising the Past: the Germanic Myth in National Socialist Context
    RJHI 1 (1) 2014 Instrumentalising the Past: The Germanic Myth in National Socialist Context Irina-Maria Manea * Abstract : In the search for an explanatory model for the present or even more, for a fundament for national identity, many old traditions were rediscovered and reutilized according to contemporary desires. In the case of Germany, a forever politically fragmented space, justifying unity was all the more important, especially beginning with the 19 th century when it had a real chance to establish itself as a state. Then, beyond nationalism and romanticism, at the dawn of the Third Reich, the myth of a unified, powerful, pure people with a tradition dating since time immemorial became almost a rule in an ideology that attempted to go back to the past and select those elements which could have ensured a historical basis for the regime. In this study, we will attempt to focus on two important aspects of this type of instrumentalisation. The focus of the discussion is mainly Tacitus’ Germania, a work which has been forever invoked in all sorts of contexts as a means to discover the ancient Germans and create a link to the modern ones, but in the same time the main beliefs in the realm of history and archaeology are underlined, so as to catch a better glimpse of how the regime has been instrumentalising and overinterpreting highly controversial facts. Keywords : Tacitus, Germania, myth, National Socialism, Germany, Kossinna, cultural-historical archaeology, ideology, totalitarianism, falsifying history During the twentieth century, Tacitus’ famous work Germania was massively instrumentalised by the Nazi regime, in order to strengthen nationalism and help Germany gain an aura of eternal glory.

  • 1 Settlement Patterns in Roman Galicia
    Settlement Patterns in Roman Galicia: Late Iron Age – Second Century AD Jonathan Wynne Rees Thesis submitted in requirement of fulfilments for the degree of Ph.D. in Archaeology, at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London University of London 2012 1 I, Jonathan Wynne Rees confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis examines the changes which occurred in the cultural landscapes of northwest Iberia, between the end of the Iron Age and the consolidation of the region by both the native elite and imperial authorities during the early Roman empire. As a means to analyse the impact of Roman power on the native peoples of northwest Iberia five study areas in northern Portugal were chosen, which stretch from the mountainous region of Trás-os-Montes near the modern-day Spanish border, moving west to the Tâmega Valley and the Atlantic coastal area. The divergent physical environments, different social practices and political affinities which these diverse regions offer, coupled with differing levels of contact with the Roman world, form the basis for a comparative examination of the area. In seeking to analyse the transformations which took place between the Late pre-Roman Iron Age and the early Roman period historical, archaeological and anthropological approaches from within Iberian academia and beyond were analysed. From these debates, three key questions were formulated, focusing on

  • The Military Reforms of Gaius Marius in Their Social, Economic, and Political Context by Michael C. Gambino August, 2015 Directo
    The Military Reforms of Gaius Marius in their Social, Economic, and Political Context By Michael C. Gambino August, 2015 Director of Thesis: Dr. Frank Romer Major Department: History Abstract The goal of this thesis is, as the title affirms, to understand the military reforms of Gaius Marius in their broader societal context. In this thesis, after a brief introduction (Chap. I), Chap. II analyzes the Roman manipular army, its formation, policies, and armament. Chapter III examines Roman society, politics, and economics during the second century B.C.E., with emphasis on the concentration of power and wealth, the legislative programs of Ti. And C. Gracchus, and the Italian allies’ growing demand for citizenship. Chap. IV discusses Roman military expansion from the Second Punic War down to 100 B.C.E., focusing on Roman military and foreign policy blunders, missteps, and mistakes in Celtiberian Spain, along with Rome’s servile wars and the problem of the Cimbri and Teutones. Chap. V then contextualizes the life of Gaius Marius and his sense of military strategy, while Chap VI assesses Marius’s military reforms in his lifetime and their immediate aftermath in the time of Sulla. There are four appendices on the ancient literary sources (App. I), Marian consequences in the Late Republic (App. II), the significance of the legionary eagle standard as shown during the early principate (App. III), and a listing of the consular Caecilii Metelli in the second and early first centuries B.C.E. (App. IV). The Marian military reforms changed the army from a semi-professional citizen militia into a more professionalized army made up of extensively trained recruits who served for longer consecutive terms and were personally bound to their commanders.
