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.

AGES Software Rio, WI USA Version 1.0 © 2000 2 England, Church of The proper designation of this church since the Act of Union in 1801 is "The United Church of England and Ireland." The Reformed Church of England dates from the 16th century; but it is convenient to treat in this article of the rise of Christianity in England, and of its growth under the protection of the State. (The free churches of England are given under their several titles in this work.) I. HISTORY. — (I.) Early Period (to the mission of Augustine, A.D. 596). 1. To the Saxon Invasion, A.D. 449. It is generally believed that Christianity was introduced into Britain before the end of the 2d century. Tertullian (t about 220) speaks of places in Britain not reached by the Romans, but yet subject to Christ (Britannorum inaccessa Romanis loca, Christo vero subdita). Eusebius, indeed, declares that some of the apostles preached in Britain (Dem. Evang. 3:7); Stillingfleet (Origines Britannicae, c. 1), Cave (Lives of the Apostles), and others, insist that St. Paul was the founder of British Christianity. Clemens Romanus (A.D.

    The Character of the Purse: Analyzing tax records and administrative policy from the perspective of Christology in 7th-8th Century Egypt Kurt Gustav Peter Schimke Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Theology at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr. Retief Müller April 2019 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. April 2019 Copyright © 2019 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 2 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This dissertation is a qualitative study of literary and documentary evidence driven by a proposition: “Did Historical-Contextual Christological perspectives in seventh and eighth century Egypt have a direct impact on the economic and political relationship with Arabs, specifically as it relates to taxes, and if so, how, and to what extent?” This is a study of historiographical and papyri evidence that answers this question via ecclesiastical discourse involved with the economic (tax) policy of Arab rule from 641 to ~720 with the hope of making the connection between theology and practice. This is a logical expectation, as theologians and administrators of this time period were classically trained in Christology, and so have an identifiable logic or pattern so as to connect ideas to practice.

Please feel free to send me your comments and I hope you enjoy this. David Reed History Of The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire Edward Gibbon, Esq. With notes by the Rev. H. H. Milman Vol. 4 1782 (Written), 1845 (Revised) Chapter XXXIX: Gothic Kingdom Of Italy. Part I. Zeno And Anastasius, Emperors Of The East. - Birth, Education, And First Exploits Of Theodoric The Ostrogoth. - His Invasion And Conquest Of Italy. - The Gothic Kingdom Of Italy. - State Of The West. - Military And Civil Government. - The Senator Boethius. - Last Acts And Death Of Theodoric. After the fall of the Roman empire in the West, an interval of fifty years, till the memorable reign of Justinian, is faintly marked by the obscure names and imperfect annals of Zeno, Anastasius, and Justin, who successively ascended to the throne of Constantinople. During the same period, Italy revived and flourished under the government of a Gothic king, who might have deserved a statue among the best and bravest of the ancient Romans.

  • 24 Sidonius Reception: Late Nineteenth to Twenty-First Centuries
    24 SIDONIUS RECEPTION: L ATE NINETEENTH TO TWENTY-FIRST CENTURIES Filomena Giannotti HIS CHAPTER WILL chart how, from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning Tof the twenty-fi rst, a signifi cant number of authors were drawn to rewrite and repurpose Sidonius’ unique life story and multifaceted personality from a literary perspective. Sidonius has gradually become a more and more popular fi gure in narrative fi ction, and the protean nature of his experiences and talents has enabled individual authors, each stressing different aspects of h is life or character, to present a wide and complex range of ‘variations on a theme’. Yet, despite the diversity of their approaches (and a differing degree of sympathy for their sub- ject), these authors are united in depicting certain key aspects of Sidonius’ personality, which converge to form the basis of a shared contemporary portrait of their subject. 1 The Revival of Sidonius: ‘Decadence’, Interbellum, and Auvergnat Regionalism 1.1 ‘Decadence’ Since the fi nal decades of the nineteenth century, Sidonius Apollinaris, an author almost unknown outside scholarly circles since the Renaissance and often subjected to condescending and highly limiting critical judgements, has gradually emerged into the limelight. By virtue of living a diffi cult and eventful life at a critical juncture of Late Antiquity, and mounting a sincere defence of cultural values in a period of ‘decadence’, he has gained a novel degree of relevance and attention.1 If one assessment symbolically signals this upturn in Sidonius’ fortunes, it is that found in Joris-Karl Huysmans’ discussion of the literary tastes of his protagonist Des Esseintes in his 1884 novel À rebours:2 Il aimait mieux feuilleter la Psychomachia de Prudence .
