Dr. Renate Pillinger La vita io l’ho castigata vivendola. Fin dove il cuore mi resse arditamente mi spinsi. Ora la mia giornata non è più che uno sterile avvicendarsi di rovinose abitudini e vorrei evadere dal nero cerchio. Quando all’alba mi riduco, un estro mi piglia, una smania di non dormire. E sogno partenze assurde, liberazioni impossibili. Oimè. Tutto il mio chiuso e cocente rimorso altro sfogo non ha fuor che il sonno, se viene. Invano, invano lotto per possedere i giorni che mi travolgono rumorosi. Io annego nel tempo.

Professor Lars Boje Mortensen – who introduced me to the field of medieval historiography when I was studying for my master’s degree at the University of Bergen – proposed the subject for this doctoral dissertation. My work would be inconceivable without his research on the subject. I am also thankful for his invitations to the Centre for Medieval Studies (Nordic Centre of Excellence) in Bergen. On several occasions I have benefitted greatly from participating in seminars and congresses held there. My three-year scholarship, for which I also want to express my gratitude, was granted by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 2002, and I consider it an honour that professor Gunhild Vidén, vice-dean of the Faculty of Arts, became my tutor. I thank her for having been a constant support and a good critic.

  • Paul the Deacon's Understanding of Identity, His Attitude To
    B ENJAMIN C ORNFORD Paul the Deacon’s understanding of identity, his attitude to barbarians, and his “strategies of distinction” in the Historia Romana Paul the Deacon’s Historia Romana is a text that has been much neglected in the study of the history of eighth-century Italy. Yet, on closer examination, this text, composed around 770, reveals a great deal about the way in which the past was perceived in eighth-century Italy, and about per- ceptions of continuity and discontinuity between the present and the Roman past. Paul’s priorities in composing the Historia Romana, his selection of sources, his inclusions and omissions, the narra- tive strategies he deploys, and the vocabulary and terminology he employs, all provide important evidence about the ways in which the past was understood and commemorated in the eighth cen- tury. More specifically, this text also gives us some fascinating indications about Paul’s understand- ing of his own identity, along with that of others, be they groups or individuals, and how he perceived himself in relation to them. His attitude to barbarians and his means of classifying individuals and groups also tells us a great deal about the prevalence of late-Roman ethnographical ideas. It is these aspects of Paul’s Historia Romana which it is the purpose of this article to address. Before proceeding with this examination, it is worthwhile briefly to outline certain details of Paul’s life and the basic structure of the Historia Romana. Paul the Deacon is typical of most figures of the eighth century, in that we know excruciatingly little about his life and can only conjecture as to his date of birth and his whereabouts throughout most of his life.

  • Reconstructing Justinian's Reconquest of the West Without
    Reconstructing Justinian’s Reconquest of the West without Procopius By Travis Colbourne Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Classical Studies Supervisor: Dr. Geoffrey Greatrex Department of Classics and Religious Studies Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Travis Colbourne, Ottawa, Canada, 2021 Abstract This thesis examines the evidence surrounding the Roman emperor Justinian’s wars in western Europe (Italy and Spain) and North Africa. It argues that without Procopius’ narrative, we would be left with a very bland, cursory account and even find it difficult to get a full grip on what happened when, even though Jordanes in particular does give some sort of narrative. The thesis focuses on the narrative of Justinian’s western wars offered by sources like Jordanes’, Romana and Getica, Victor of Tonnuna’s Chronicle, Corippus’ epic poem and Marcellinus comes’ Chronicle and its addition. It also discusses when each of these sources was written and where, and the background of the author, so that the reader can identify what was important to the author and the potential biases in the presentation of the events in question. The thesis then compares the narrative of the above sources to the narrative of Procopius in order to determine what information historians and scholars would not have if they did not have Procopius’ work. ii Reconstructing Justinian’s Reconquest of the West without Procopius Travis Colbourne Contents: General Introduction ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 1 Chapter 1: Sources Other than Procopius of Caesarea…………………………………….. 3 Introduction………………………………………………......................................................... 3 Literary Sources……………………………………………………………………………….. 4 Archaeological and Epigraphical Evidence………………………............................................20 Legal Sources…………………….............................................................................................
