Goldfrank This essay originated at the time that ASEC was in its early stages and in response to a requestthat I write something aboutthe church Fathers in medieval Rus'. I already knew finding the patrology concerning just the original Greek and Syriac texts is nothing short of a researcher’s black hole. Given all the complexities in­ volved in the manuscript traditions associated with such superstar names as Basil of Caesarea, Ephrem the Syrian, John Chrysostom, and Macarius of wherever (no kidding), to name a few1 and all of The author would like to thank the staffs of the Hilandar Research Library at The Ohio State University and, of course, the monks of Hilandar Monastery for encouraging the microfilming of the Hilandar Slavic manuscripts by Ohio State.

  • Liturgical Calendar 2020-2021 of the Celtic Orthodox Church
    Liturgical Calendar 2020-2021 of the Celtic Orthodox Church 1 Liturgical Calendar of the Celtic Orthodox Church 2020-2021 Translated from the French, published by Éditions Hol Levenez Le Bois Juhel 56130 Saint-Dolay, France Cover page: Icon of Saint John the Baptist 2020-2021 Introduction The calendar of the Celtic Orthodox Church begins on the first Sunday of November after All Saints Day (November 1st). This choice reconciles two traditions, one linked to the Syrian Orthodox Church tradition, which begins the liturgical year on the first Sunday of November (after All Saints Day), and the other according to an ancient Western non- Roman custom. It presents the Saints of the Universal Church as well as the principal Saints who have illuminated the history of the Celtic Orthodox Church. The Liturgical year opens before us as a permanent invitation to deepen our spirituality. The calendar answers, “present,” to the call to deepen our faith in Christ Jesus. The Sunday and feast-day readings are an inheritance of many centuries that belongs to our spiritual heritage. The liturgical cycle was developed over a period of time and set up by our Fathers under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is both a divine and human work, providentially proposed to our generation, in order that we may rediscover our spiritual roots in a world that is becoming more and more dechristianized. In this sense this calendar is prophetic for, drawing from ancient Western sources from before the Carolingian reforms, it is surprisingly suited to our times. This appears very clearly when we let ourselves be guided by this grouping together of feasts and readings that give rhythm to our daily life.

  • The Paintings in St. George Church in Addis Ababa As a Method
    Studies of the Department of African Languages and Cultures, No 49, 2015 ISSN 0860-4649 Hanna Rubinkowska-Anioł University of Warsaw The Paintings in St. George Church in Addis Ababa as a Method of Conveying Information about History and Power in 20 th - century Ethiopia 1 Abstract: In one of the most important churches in Addis Ab- aba (Ethiopia), there is a panel containing several paintings. They are exact copies of photographs showing Emperor Haile Sellasie I during the war against Italy (1935-1941). The paint- ings were copied from frequently published, and thus well- known, photographs, which served imperial propaganda to show the Emperor’s role in fighting for Ethiopia’s independ- ence. Using the paintings as source material, it is the aim of this article to discuss specific propagandistic methods applied in Ethiopia under Haile Sellasie to transmit a message about power and history, and to present the intended image of the Emperor to his subjects. Keywords : Ethiopia, visual representation, St. George Church, Haile Sellasie I, Italo-Ethiopian War Introduction In St. George Church, one of the main Addis Ababa churches, there is a panel of paintings presenting scenes from the Italo- Ethiopian war (between 1935 and 1941). The paintings were made as a reminder of the role Haile Sellasie I (the emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974) performed in regaining Ethiopia’s independence. The pictures were meant to testify to the Emperor’s services to the nation and emphasize his right – frequently undermined by his opponents – to rule the country after independence was regained. They also con- 1 The author thanks Dr.

Throne names and horse names were used solely by the emperors and the ruling class. Those name changes exalted the bearer by either stating his authority or connecting him to divine power. Pen names and field names were used by people not in power to hide their identity from people with the power to harm them. Although the purpose of those name changes was to disguise, the names that

  • Prehistory Bronze Age Contacts with Egypt
    Prehistory It was not until 1963 that evidence of the presence of ancient hominids was discovered in Ethiopia, many years after similar such discoveries had been made in neighbouring Kenya and Tanzania. The discovery was made by Gerrard Dekker, a Dutch hydrologist, who found Acheulian stone tools that were over a million years old at Kella. Since then many important finds have propelled Ethiopia to the forefront of palaentology. The oldest hominid discovered to date in Ethiopia is the 4.2 million year old Ardipithicus ramidus (Ardi) found by Tim D. White in 1994. The most well known hominid discovery is Lucy, found in the Awash Valley of Ethiopia's Afar region in 1974 by Donald Johanson, and is one of the most complete and best preserved, adult Australopithecine fossils ever uncovered. Lucy's taxonomic name, Australopithecus afarensis, means 'southern ape of Afar', and refers to the Ethiopian region where the discovery was made. Lucy is estimated to have lived 3.2 million years ago. There have been many other notable fossil findings in the country. Near Gona stone tools were uncovered in 1992 that were 2.52 million years old, these are the oldest such tools ever discovered anywhere in the world. In 2010 fossilised animal bones, that were 3.4 million years old, were found with stone-tool-inflicted marks on them in the Lower Awash Valley by an international team, led by Shannon McPherron, which is the oldest evidence of stone tool use ever found anywhere in the world. East Africa, and more specifically the general area of Ethiopia, is widely considered the site of the emergence of early Homo sapiens in the Middle Paleolithic.

  • The Tenth Century: from Roman Hagiographique to Roman Anthologique
    Basil Lourié St. Petersburg THE TENTH CENTURY: FROM ROMAN HAGIOGRAPHIQUE TO ROMAN ANTHOLOGIQUE Toward the publication of the hagiographical dossier of St Gregentios Albrecht Bђџgђџ (ed.), Life and Works of Saint Gregentios, Archbishop of Taphar. Introduction, Critical Edition and Trans- lation. With a contribution by Gianfranco Fіюѐѐюёќџі (Berlin— New York: Walter de Gruyter, 2006) (Millenium-Studien zu Kultur und Geschichte des ersten Jahrtausends n. Chr. Vol. 7) x + 915 pp. ISBN-13: 978-3-11-018445-7; ISBN-10: 3-11-018445-1. The hagiographical novel, le roman hagiographique (H. Delehaye), arose in the Second Temple Jewish culture with the books such as Judith or Esther. Later, in Christian hagiography, it has always been a productive genre. Nevertheless, in tenth century Byzantium, it reaches a new level: it becomes anthological. Such works of the tenth century as Barlaam and Ioasaph, the Life of St Andrew the Fool, the Life of St Basil the Younger contain enormous quantities of mate- rial of various origin and dates — such as anthologies of didactical stories, Christian apologies, catecheses, apocalyptics, and so on. The resulting texts, having a loose structure to a great extent independent from the plot, became compendia of corresponding knowledge for centuries. Indeed, they are still novels, but of a specię c kind: I would dare to say, les romans anthologiques. Such novels accumulate a great variety of earlier sources, sometimes very early and unique (e. g., the Apology of Aristide in Barlaam and Ioasaph). This is certainly enough reason to consider these novels as interesting also for all those who are seeking for sources from the pre-tenth century Christian tradi- tion, including the early Christian period.
