UNF: the Byzantine Saint: a Bibliography [Halsall] Paul Halsall The Byzantine Saint: A Bibliography (2005) Introduction This thematic bibliography should be read in conjunction with Alice-Mary Talbot's Survey of Translations of Byzantine Saints' Lives [at Dumbarton Oaks], which lists all available Byzantine saint's lives translated into any modern western language. This bibliography was compiled for my dissertation and for a class I taught on the history of sainthood in 2005. It is therefore now out of date but may still prove of some interest.

In this paper I investigate the compatibility between personalist philosophy and the Bulgarian identity discourse between the two World Wars. Having outlined the variability and conceptual tensions (on “collective personality,” e.g.) within Russian and French personalism(s) of the 1910s-1940s, I delineate four prerequisites for emerging and adopting personalism in interwar Bulgaria: (1) the post-idealist crisis of identities and identifications; (2) the reception of foreign personalist (or close to such) philosophy; (3) the re- assessment of “home” (East-Christian) theological tradition and its philosophical implications; (4) the discovery of someone “other” needed worthy of being recognised as (collective) “Thee.” Postponing the exploration of the third prerequisite for a subsequent study, I conclude so far that within interwar Bulgarian secular thought only random juxtapositions between personalism and identity discourse can be expected, and I examine three such cases.

  • Brain Diseases in Greek Meta-Byzantine Society
    Journal of Applied Medical Sciences, vol. 2, no. 4, 2013, 53-60 ISSN: 2241-2328 (print version), 2241-2336 (online) Scienpress Ltd, 2013 A Socio-Historical Survey of Brain Diseases in Greek Post-Byzantine Society Anastasia K. Kadda1, Nikolas S. Koumpouros2 and Aristotelis P. Mitsos3 Abstract The aim of this study is to present a socio-historical survey of brain diseases and their treatment in Greek post-Byzantine society. For this purpose, research was carried out using Manuscript No. 218 of the Iviron Monastery of Mount Athos. The analysis of this manuscript produced the following conclusions: a) brain diseases are prominently discussed and described in the manuscript, b) the influence of ancient Greek and Roman medicine on Byzantine and on post-Byzantine medical science and society is manifested in the etiology, symptom-matology and therapeutic means of treating brain diseases, c) social factors were seriously taken into account as an important aspect of therapeutic procedure, d) many therapeutic methods were proved to be socially beneficial, e) brain disorders and diseases appear to be diachronic. Keywords: Brain diseases; ancient Greek medicine; Byzantine medicine; social factors; socially beneficial therapeutic means; 1 Introduction The apprehension of health and illness and the type of medicine used at different times and places are models which change according to each epoch and the prevailing social conditions. In other words, the main criteria for a society’s definition of health/illness do not remain static throughout history; instead, they are constantly redefined according to the broad social and cultural frame in which they develop and according to the social concepts of each historical period, thus conferring a social dimension and background to health/illness, a fact which applies to all periods of time in history.

For him, repentance is one of the highest spiritual states, not the lowest.

  • BYZANTINE CAMEOS and the AESTHETICS of the ICON By
    BYZANTINE CAMEOS AND THE AESTHETICS OF THE ICON by James A. Magruder, III A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland March 2014 © 2014 James A. Magruder, III All rights reserved Abstract Byzantine icons have attracted artists and art historians to what they saw as the flat style of large painted panels. They tend to understand this flatness as a repudiation of the Classical priority to represent Nature and an affirmation of otherworldly spirituality. However, many extant sacred portraits from the Byzantine period were executed in relief in precious materials, such as gemstones, ivory or gold. Byzantine writers describe contemporary icons as lifelike, sometimes even coming to life with divine power. The question is what Byzantine Christians hoped to represent by crafting small icons in precious materials, specifically cameos. The dissertation catalogs and analyzes Byzantine cameos from the end of Iconoclasm (843) until the fall of Constantinople (1453). They have not received comprehensive treatment before, but since they represent saints in iconic poses, they provide a good corpus of icons comparable to icons in other media. Their durability and the difficulty of reworking them also makes them a particularly faithful record of Byzantine priorities regarding the icon as a genre. In addition, the dissertation surveys theological texts that comment on or illustrate stone to understand what role the materiality of Byzantine cameos played in choosing stone relief for icons. Finally, it examines Byzantine epigrams written about or for icons to define the terms that shaped icon production.

  • Chapter 2 Orthodox Church Life A. Church Etiquette an Orthodox
    chapter 2 Orthodox Church Life A. Church Etiquette The Church is the earthly heaven in which the heavenly God dwells and moves. An Orthodox Church is that part of God’s creation which has been set apart and “reclaimed” for the Kingdom of God. Within its walls, the heavenly and earthly realms meet, outside time, in the acts of worship and Sacrifice offered there to God. Angels assist the Priest during the Divine Liturgy, and Saints and members of the Church Triumphant participate in the Ser- vices. The Blessed Theotokos, the Mother of God, is also present and, of course, our Lord Jesus Christ is invisibly present wher- ever two or three gather in His Name, just as He is always present in the reserved Eucharist preserved on the Holy Table of most Orthodox Churches. Given these very significant spiritual realities, we should al- ways approach an Orthodox Church with the deepest attitude of reverence. Even when passing an Orthodox Church on foot or in a car, we always cross ourselves out of respect for the presence of God therein. It is, indeed, unthinkable that we should ever pass in front of an Orthodox Church without showing such rev- erence. Therefore, it is obvious that we must approach our meeting with the heavenly realm during Divine Services with careful and proper preparation. When preparing for Church, we should always dress as we would for a visit to an important dignitary. After all, we are about to enter into the very presence of God. Therefore, casual apparel is not appropriate. For example, shorts should never be St.

    An Old Believer ―Holy Moscow‖ in Imperial Russia: Community and Identity in the History of the Rogozhskoe Cemetery Old Believers, 1771 - 1917 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Doctoral Degree of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Peter Thomas De Simone, B.A., M.A Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Nicholas Breyfogle, Advisor David Hoffmann Robin Judd Predrag Matejic Copyright by Peter T. De Simone 2012 Abstract In the mid-seventeenth century Nikon, Patriarch of Moscow, introduced a number of reforms to bring the Russian Orthodox Church into ritualistic and liturgical conformity with the Greek Orthodox Church. However, Nikon‘s reforms met staunch resistance from a number of clergy, led by figures such as the archpriest Avvakum and Bishop Pavel of Kolomna, as well as large portions of the general Russian population. Nikon‘s critics rejected the reforms on two key principles: that conformity with the Greek Church corrupted Russian Orthodoxy‘s spiritual purity and negated Russia‘s historical and Christian destiny as the Third Rome – the final capital of all Christendom before the End Times. Developed in the early sixteenth century, what became the Third Rome Doctrine proclaimed that Muscovite Russia inherited the political and spiritual legacy of the Roman Empire as passed from Constantinople. In the mind of Nikon‘s critics, the Doctrine proclaimed that Constantinople fell in 1453 due to God‘s displeasure with the Greeks. Therefore, to Nikon‘s critics introducing Greek rituals and liturgical reform was to invite the same heresies that led to the Greeks‘ downfall.

  • Publications Without, However, Aspiring to Completeness. Paul
    Jonathan Shepard publications without, however, aspiring to completeness. Paul Stephenson has provided a valuable review-article of secondary literature published in a western language on the history of the early Hungarians, while his book on Byzantium’s Balkan frontier sets the activities of Hungarians in the tenth century within the broader context of imperial Byzantine diplomacy, emergent Balkan polities and the needs of nomads. Stephenson and Tóth, building on the earlier work of Macartney and Göckenjan, point to the strong probability that the lands east of the Tisza were occupied by the De administrando’s Kavars (Kabaroi). These, in turn, may be associated with the “Khalisioi”/Kaliz, a grouping of Khazar provenance known from later Hungarian sources to have occupied the valley of the Tisza in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Constantine VII could well have drawn heavily on Kavar informants for his contemporary data about the Hungarians’ lands, and the De administrando’s generous coverage of this grouping in comparison with the other units of Hungarians becomes the more understandable. In addition, a number of scholars have independently reached the conclusion that imperial attention to, knowledge about, and policy towards a region or people fluctuated drastically in accordance with the empire’s ever- changing needs and apprehensions of perils. Stephenson’s book shows how adaptable Byzantine administrative arrangements were after the defeat of the Rus and the Bulgarians in 971. Comparable flexibility was applied to the northern borderlands after final victory over the Bulgarians had been won in 1018, and in the territories reconquered from the eastern Muslims in the 960s and 970s.

ON THE BATTLE OF THEOLOGICAL ORIENTATION OF THE CZECHOSLOVAK CHURCH (HUSSITE) IN THE 1920s Marek Pavel Doctor of Philosophy and Pedagogy; Professor; Professor Emeritus, Department of History, Faculty of Arts, Palacký University, Olomouc Email: [email protected] Scopus Author ID: 35178301400 http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7578-0783 One hundred years have passed since 1920 and the ‘Czech schism’, which is considered to be the foundation of the national Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church. It was created as a result of the reform movement of the Catholic clergy after the end of the Great War and the constitution of an independent Czechoslovak Republic on the ruins of the Habsburg Monarchy. The clergy, who were dissatisfied with the position of the Catholic Church in the empire and with some matters of the Church life and priests that had not been addressed in the long term, set out a programme for the reform of the Catholic Church in Czech lands. His demands were directed towards the autonomous position of the church, the introduction of the national language into services, the democratisation of the organisation of the church, and the reform of clerical celibacy. After the Roman Curia rejected the proposals, the reform movement’s radical wing decided to leave the church and form a national church. However, its establishment wasn’t sufficiently prepared and all fundamental issues of its existence, including its doctrine, were only solved after establishing the church.

  • Byzantine Medicine: the Finlayson Memorial
    THE GLASGOW MEDICAL JOURNAL. No. Y. November, 1913. ORIGINAL ARTICLES.] BYZANTINE MEDICINE: THE FINLA^g^r- MEMORIAL LECTURE.1 By Sir THOMAS CLIFFORD ALLBUTT, K.C.B., LL.D., D.Sc., M.D.r Regius Professor of Physic, Cambridge. Mr. Chairman, Ladies, and Gentlemen,?We are gathered together to-day in memory of James Finlayson, a wise physician and a gentle scholar. More than once, with the art of the scholar and the love of the benefactor, he displayed to me some of the treasures of your library. I would that my lecture to-day were more worthy of him. It was a fine saying of that great historian and physician, Charles Daremberg, that in the domain of mind, as in that of matter, we cannot believe in spontaneous generation. The springs of life and the development of life; its order in variety; its integrations of ever new and broader functions of the world around it; its compass and comprehension; 1 Delivered in the Faculty Hall on Friday, 6th June, 1913. No. 5. X Vol. LXXX. 322 Sir Clifford Allbutt?Byzantine Medicine: these growing powers, these rich and manifold qualities have their lineage ; they have their origin in the past; they have their ancestry, their laws of tradition, their channels of nurture; and if animal development cannot spring directly from the clay into high wrought organs and various functions, neither likewise can the spiritual life. It, too, must have its lineage, its race; from parent to parent the social life is engendered and nurtured; from generation to generation it dwells upon its gradual houses, families, tribes, and rejoices in its children; it learns to reflect upon its history in the past, and from that vantage to reach forth into its future and to imagine its destiny.
