  • The Transformation to the Early Middle Ages
    HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES From the Light and into the Dark: The Transformation to the Early Middle Ages Arrush Choudhary College of Arts and Science, Vanderbilt University From a historic perspective, the period of Roman rule and the following Middle Ages are po- lar opposites. For most, the city of Rome and the Western Roman Empire represent a time of advancement for the Mediterranean world while the Middle Ages are viewed as a regression of sorts for Europe. The reasons explaining the underlying cause of this transition from the West- ern Roman Empire to the Middle Ages are numerous but this paper will specifically focus on the practices started by the Romans themselves and how they contributed to the rise of the Early Middle Ages on the Italian Peninsula. More specifically, economic turmoil and urbanization fol- lowing the 3rd century crisis in the city of Rome laid the groundwork for social, legislative, and political changes that thread the path to the fundamental characteristics of the Middle Ages. Changing views of the city and the countryside, the construction of latifundia and villas, and the passing of legislation that restricted the rights of laborers, in addition to other transformations in late Rome, all contributed to the decentralized governance, rural life, and serfdom that are characteristic of the Middle Ages. Ultimately, the goal of this paper is to illustrate that despite the major differences that exist between the Roman period and the Middle Ages, the practices of the late Western Roman Empire were often directly carried over into the Middle Ages and, as a result, for one to truly understand the origins of the Middle Ages, it is essential to comprehend the traditions started by the late Romans.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Michael McCormick Ryan Hayes Wilkinson The Last Horizons of Roman Gaul: Communication, Community, and Power at the End of Antiquity Abstract In the fifth and sixth centuries CE, the Roman Empire fragmented, along with its network of political, cultural, and socio-economic connections. How did that network’s collapse reshape the social and mental horizons of communities in one part of the Roman world, now eastern France? Did new political frontiers between barbarian kingdoms redirect those communities’ external connections, and if so, how? To address these questions, this dissertation focuses on the cities of two Gallo-Roman tribal groups.

Throop Traditionally the crusading movement has been distinguished from other forms of Christian violence motivated or justified in religious terms. In the western world, innumerable books and articles discuss ‘the crusades’ or ‘the crusading movement’ as discrete entities. The crusades, so the narrative goes, began firmly in 1096 when an armed, penitential expedition set out to Jerusalem in response to the 1095 appeal of Pope Urban II, and ended less conclusively at some point before the onset of modernity. Meanwhile, in a broader global context and across a wider range of media, some continue to invoke the crusades as explanation for ongoing geopolitical conflict.

  • City of Demons: Violence, Ritual and Christian Power in Late Antiquity
    Book Reviews 325 theological issues raised by the LXX. That leads me to point out an obvious limitation of this excellent book. Discussions of issues such as textual criticism, the history of the transmission of the LXX text, or differences in translation technique in different parts of the LXX are sparse and short. However, Jobes cannot be faulted for this brevity, since this book is primarily designed as an introductory LXX reader. Rather, she deals with such important matters more extensively in another excellent book, which she co-authored with Moisés Silva, Invitation to the Septuagint, 2nd ed. (Grand Rapids: Baker, 2015). Hence, for a full introduction to the LXX, I recommend that students acquire both books. All in all, Discovering the Septuagint is a wonderful way to introduce students of New Testament Greek to the language of the LXX, and by extension to the wider world of Koine Greek. It fills an important gap, and promises to be very useful. Oakwood University Tarsee Li Huntsville, Alabama Kalleres, Dayna S. City of Demons: Violence, Ritual, and Christian Power in Late Antiquity.

Stories about demon possession and the interference of evil in the life of Christians were a part of my experience growing up in Brazil. I never underestimated the power of the devil; it is quite the opposite. My world was inhabited by supernatural forces, and I was taught that I needed to be constantly aware of them. Influenced by African religiosity and Roman Catholicism, Brazilian culture is permeated by the belief that supernatural beings are not only real, but physical, and part of the natural world.

  • Late Antiquity in Modern Eyes
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Philipp Rousseau (Hrsg.), A companion to Late Antiquity, Malden, Mass. 2009, St. 77-92 CHAPTER SIX Late Antiquity in Modern Eyes Stefan Rebenich On September 12, 1921, during an autumn colloquium on the arts and sciences, Ernst Kornemann (1868-1946) gave a lecture in Kiel on the decline of the ancient world. He described the topic of his address as “the problem of problems ” in historiography. Then he proposed a possible solution: he suggested that the prosper ­ ity at the time of imperial rule had generated decadence everywhere, paralyzed social cohesion, destroyed the military masculine morale that had once made Rome great, and led the emperors to pursue an illusory policy of peace. In consequence, cultural life had come under the detrimental influence of a collectivist religiosity of eastern provenance (Kornemann 1922). That was not an original view. In the humanities, the problem formulated by Kornemann had been an enigma for centuries - and it still is. The discussion centered on two questions: why did the Roman Empire decline; and when did this decline occur? Let us first address the associated division of history into periods. Italian scholars of the Renaissance thought in terms of antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the modern age - a model still familiar today. This model, which displaced the universal historical periodization characteristic of the Christian tradition - especially the theory of the four empires - was based on the assumption that the so-called Middle Ages had been a 1,000-year-long period of decline. That decline had to be overcome by bringing about a new epoch, one that would be connected to the period these scholars regarded as their norm: pagan and Christian antiquity.

  • The Christianization of Marriage Ritual in Late Antiquity: Ecclesiastical Rites at the Bridal Chamber*
    Gabriel Radle THe Christianization of Marriage Ritual in Late Antiquity: Ecclesiastical Rites at the Bridal Chamber* Ancient literary works suggest that rites for marriage are as old as human civi- lization.1 Anthropologists claim this is because marriage is a true “life crisis” moment.2 THat is to say, in traditional societies, participating in marriage results in a dramatic alteration of an individual’s identity – their family ties, sexual norms, social responsibilities, etc. Across ancient societies, marriage was a rite of passage that was generally accomplished in multiple stages, including match-making arrangements, formal betrothal, and publicly-recognized cohabitation – usually carried out in that order and often with some amount of time (whether great or small) between each step. Each one of these stages tended to employ rituals rich in symbolism and social significance.3 Any discussion of early Christian marriage rites must attend to this simple fact: marriage, together with its ritual formation, is a human activity that existed long before the Church. THus, while early Christian authors identified marriage as a mysterion, or sacramentum,4 it must be underscored that this was primarily a theological claim applied to an old human social institution. What patristic authors declared about the sacramentality of marriage was precisely a soterio- logical and eschatological conviction: God’s action through his incarnation in Jesus Christ brought about a new creation that perfected and went beyond Eden, * I would like to thank the organizers and participants of the conference “Marriage and/as Metaphor in Christian and Jewish Traditions”, especially Aldegonde Brenninkmeijer-Werhahn and Oded Irshai, for the fruitful exchange of research and scholarly fellowship that this opportunity provided, and which the present article has benefited from.

  • Death and Afterlife Between Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages
    The End of the Ancient Other World: Death and Afterlife between Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages PETER BROWN THE TANNER LECTURES ON HUMAN VALUES Delivered at Yale University October 23 and 24, 1996 PETER BROWN is Rollins Professor of History at Princeton University. He was educated at New College, Oxford. He was for many years a research fellow at All Souls College, Oxford, and he has also been on the faculty at Royal Holloway College, University of London, and at the Uni- versity of California at Berkeley. He is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society, the British Academy, the Ameri- can Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the American Philosophical Society. He is the author of many books on the history of late antiquity, including Augustine of Hippo (1967) ; The Making of Late Antiquity (1978) ; The Rise of Western Christendom (1996) ; and The Body and Society (1988), which won the Ralph Waldo Emerson Award. He is the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation Fel lowship. LECTURE I. GLORIOSUS OBITUS: DEATH AND AFTERLIFE 400–700 A.D. In a small book on The Byzantine Empire, written in 1925, Norman Baynes placed at the head of one chapter a quotation from Benjamin Franklin: “Nothing in life is certain but death and taxes.” More than any other scholar, it was Baynes who made Byzantium exciting for us, and, with Byzantium, the thought world of late antique Christianity. But Baynes was a man of his age. The chapter dealt with taxes, not with death. It is only comparatively recently that death has attracted the attention of historians of late antiquity and the Middle Ages.2 As a result of the careful study of * The initial research on the themes treated in these lectures was undertaken in Munich, where I owed to the generosity and care of the Carl Friedrich von Siemens Stiftung of Munich a much-needed opportunity to work in research libraries of unrivalled richness and to experience in them the kindness and interest of so many scholars connected both with the University of Munich and with the Monu- menta Germaniae Historica.

  • A Journey Through Late Antiquity with Peter Brown
    THE POWER, THE BODY, THE HOLY: A JOURNEY THROUGH LATE ANTIQUITY WITH PETER BROWN STEVEN A. STOFFERAHN In the middle of an exciting history course, it takes a high degree of moral courage to resist one’s own conscience; to take time off; to let the imagination run; to give serious attention to reading books that widen our sympathies, that train us to imagine with greater precision what it is like to be human in situations very different from our own. It is essential to take that risk. For a history course to be content to turn out well-trained minds when it could also encourage widened hearts and deeper sympathies would be a mutilation of the intellectual inheritance of our own discipline. It would lead to the inhibition, in our own culture, of an element of imaginative curiosity about others whose removal may be more deleterious than we would like to think to the subtle and ever-precarious ecology on which a liberal western tradition of respect for others is based. 3Peter Brown, “Learning and Imagination,” Inaugural Lecture of 1977, Royal Holloway College1 Rarely has a historian of late antiquity attracted so much attention through his writings and lecture appearances as has Peter Brown. In the past three decades, few other scholars can claim to have challenged mainstream assumptions so consistently while replacing them with unique, plausible, and controversial alternatives. That he continues to do so today is a testament to both Peter Brown’s renown and scholarship. Brown’s remarks in his inaugural lecture at Royal Holloway College in 1977 express what could be considered his credo: a fervent belief in letting the imagination roam free to take its owner into new and unexpected realms of thought.

Book Review: Hendrik W. Dey, The Afterlife of the Roman City: Architecture and Ceremony in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages Abstract The al test book by Hendrik W. Dey examines the afterlife of the Roman city in the territories of the erstwhile Roman Empire until roughly the ninth century. As a scholar with multiple threads of training in classics, Dey writes his book with a strong archaeological research method that emphasizes the perseverance of urban paradigms of the Greco-Roman world beyond literary tropes or oversimplified economical and demographical analyses. The Afterlife of the Roman City looks in particular at monumental architecture and urban topography by highlighting their importance in the definition of the urban space as a place of ceremonial manifestations of the glory of kings, emperors, caliphs, and bishops during late antiquity and the early Middle Ages.
