  • Chapter Four Sources of Augustine's Doctrine
    CHAPTER FOUR SOURCES OF AUGUSTINE'S DOCTRINE OF THE TWO CITIES A. MANICHAEISM 1. 'Manichaeism' as an accusation For Augustine world history was one uninterrupted linear process, directed towards a final destination: the total separation of the two cities. Eternal blessedness awaits the citizens ofthe city of God; eter­ nal damnation those of the city of the devil. In this present age, the period between creation and the end of the world, the Church as the community of the children of God is in peregrination; she is looking forward to her definitive homecoming in the city of God, the heavenly Jerusalem. A number of investigators have referred to Manichaeism as the source of Augustine's clear-cut duality of the two cities and of vari­ ous concepts more or less related to it. This is not surprising. For nine years at least, the future bishop was an adherent of this gnostic religion, in the very period which is often regarded as being of criti­ cal importance for one's later view of life. Much of his first work seems to be imbued with Manichaean modes of thought!. Seeing that Augustine composed, towards the end of his life, a major work in which he placed the theme of the two kingdoms or cities in a cen­ tral position and strongly emphasized the absolute antithesis be­ tween these two societies, and stressed moreover the idea of the citizen of God's city sojourning as an alien here on earth, the ques­ tion of possible reminiscences of Manichaean ideas cannot be side­ stepped.

  • The Question of 'Race' in the Pre-Colonial Southern Sahara
    The Question of ‘Race’ in the Pre-colonial Southern Sahara BRUCE S. HALL One of the principle issues that divide people in the southern margins of the Sahara Desert is the issue of ‘race.’ Each of the countries that share this region, from Mauritania to Sudan, has experienced civil violence with racial overtones since achieving independence from colonial rule in the 1950s and 1960s. Today’s crisis in Western Sudan is only the latest example. However, very little academic attention has been paid to the issue of ‘race’ in the region, in large part because southern Saharan racial discourses do not correspond directly to the idea of ‘race’ in the West. For the outsider, local racial distinctions are often difficult to discern because somatic difference is not the only, and certainly not the most important, basis for racial identities. In this article, I focus on the development of pre-colonial ideas about ‘race’ in the Hodh, Azawad, and Niger Bend, which today are in Northern Mali and Western Mauritania. The article examines the evolving relationship between North and West Africans along this Sahelian borderland using the writings of Arab travellers, local chroniclers, as well as several specific documents that address the issue of the legitimacy of enslavement of different West African groups. Using primarily the Arabic writings of the Kunta, a politically ascendant Arab group in the area, the paper explores the extent to which discourses of ‘race’ served growing nomadic power. My argument is that during the nineteenth century, honorable lineages and genealogies came to play an increasingly important role as ideological buttresses to struggles for power amongst nomadic groups and in legitimising domination over sedentary communities.

    Nisan / The Levantine Review Volume 4 Number 2 (Winter 2015) Identity and Peoples in History Speculating on Ancient Mediterranean Mysteries Mordechai Nisan* We are familiar with a philo-Semitic disposition characterizing a number of communities, including Phoenicians/Lebanese, Kabyles/Berbers, and Ismailis/Druze, raising the question of a historical foundation binding them all together. The ethnic threads began in the Galilee and Mount Lebanon and later conceivably wound themselves back there in the persona of Al-Muwahiddun [Unitarian] Druze. While DNA testing is a fascinating methodology to verify the similarity or identity of a shared gene pool among ostensibly disparate peoples, we will primarily pursue our inquiry using conventional historical materials, without however—at the end—avoiding the clues offered by modern science. Our thesis seeks to substantiate an intuition, a reading of the contours of tales emanating from the eastern Mediterranean basin, the Levantine area, to Africa and Egypt, and returning to Israel and Lebanon. The story unfolds with ancient biblical tribes of Israel in the north of their country mixing with, or becoming Lebanese Phoenicians, travelling to North Africa—Tunisia, Algeria, and Libya in particular— assimilating among Kabyle Berbers, later fusing with Shi’a Ismailis in the Maghreb, who would then migrate to Egypt, and during the Fatimid period evolve as the Druze. The latter would later flee Egypt and return to Lebanon—the place where their (biological) ancestors had once dwelt. The original core group was composed of Hebrews/Jews, toward whom various communities evince affinity and identity today with the Jewish people and the state of Israel.

This Gregorian date corresponds to September 17 of the Julian Calendar. Here we use software such as CalSKY and Stellarium to investigate the sunrise azimuth and compare it to the direction of the decumanus of the Roman town.

One of the most popular and attractive persons across many centuries, his influence on the church has continued to our current day. He is also renowned for his influ- ence in philosophy and psychology and even (in an indirect way) art, music and architecture.

  • Regard Sur Les Sites Antiques De L'algérie, Essai De Synthèse
    Regard sur les sites antiques de l’Algérie, essai de synthèse * Bakhta MOUKRAENTA ABED ~~~~~~~~~~ Ce regard sur les sites antiques, nous proposons de le présenter en deux temps, pour ce qui concerne le premier temps, exposer un regard de synthèse sur le développement du phénomène urbain en Algérie, en soulignant ce qui caractérise l’urbanisme à des époques clés : allant de l’époque préromaine, à al- futuhats al-islamiya . Dans un deuxième temps, nous allons énoncer certains exemples de sites illustrés. La connaissance du fait urbain à l’époque antique en Algérie, fer de lance de notre présente recherche, à travers les sources 1 écrites (antiques et médiévales) et archéologiques, nous laisse souvent devant des impasses, et des interrogations sans réponses, car elles ne résolvent pas toutes les questions que se posent les chercheurs. A l’évidence, dans leurs récits, les sources décrivent les villes de l’Algérie. Pour l’ensemble des localités, antiques dans les sources écrites et archéologiques, nous constatons que celles-ci obéissent à la même règle : une ville se transforme, grandit, décroît, meurt, son aspect se modifie au fil du temps. Le village devient bourgade, puis cité. Les cadences d’expansion tendraient à laisser penser qu’elles n’existaient pas partout, et n’étaient, du reste, pas toujours les mêmes. Des villes connaissent une transformation violente, d’autres de lentes modifications. Nous voyons bien que les quartiers eux-mêmes se transforment intérieurement à leur propre rythme, et le paysage de chacun reflète souvent des caractéristiques très particulières. En Algérie, la différence entre les villes est considérable du point de vue topographique ; cette différence est due tout à la fois en un temps où la préoccupation reposait sur la tradition d’une conception des bâtisseurs se fondant sur des facteurs historique, géographique et économique qui ont précédé *Chercheur associé au Centre Camille Jullian, UMR 6573 (Université de Provence - CNRS).
