  • Constructing the Seventh Century
    COLLÈGE DE FRANCE – CNRS CENTRE DE RECHERCHE D’HISTOIRE ET CIVILISATION DE BYZANCE TRAVAUX ET MÉMOIRES 17 constructing the seventh century edited by Constantin Zuckerman Ouvrage publié avec le concours de la fondation Ebersolt du Collège de France et de l’université Paris-Sorbonne Association des Amis du Centre d’Histoire et Civilisation de Byzance 52, rue du Cardinal-Lemoine – 75005 Paris 2013 PREFACE by Constantin Zuckerman The title of this volume could be misleading. “Constructing the 7th century” by no means implies an intellectual construction. It should rather recall the image of a construction site with its scaffolding and piles of bricks, and with its plentiful uncovered pits. As on the building site of a medieval cathedral, every worker lays his pavement or polishes up his column knowing that one day a majestic edifice will rise and that it will be as accomplished and solid as is the least element of its structure. The reader can imagine the edifice as he reads through the articles collected under this cover, but in this age when syntheses abound it was not the editor’s aim to develop another one. The contributions to the volume are regrouped in five sections, some more united than the others. The first section is the most tightly knit presenting the results of a collaborative project coordinated by Vincent Déroche. It explores the different versions of a “many shaped” polemical treatise (Dialogica polymorpha antiiudaica) preserved—and edited here—in Greek and Slavonic. Anti-Jewish polemics flourished in the seventh century for a reason. In the centuries-long debate opposing the “New” and the “Old” Israel, the latter’s rejection by God was grounded in an irrefutable empirical proof: God had expelled the “Old” Israel from its promised land and given it to the “New.” In the first half of the seventh century, however, this reasoning was shattered, first by the Persian conquest of the Holy Land, which could be viewed as a passing trial, and then by the Arab conquest, which appeared to last.

  • How Ecumenical Was Early Islam?
    Near Eastern Languages and Civilization The Farhat J. Ziadeh Distinguished Lecture in Arab and Islamic Studies How Ecumenical Was Early Islam? Professor Fred M. Donner University of Chicago Dear Friends and Colleagues, It is my distinct privilege to provide you with a copy of the eleventh Far- hat J. Ziadeh Distinguished Lecture in Arab and Islamic Studies, “How Ecumenical Was Early Islam?” delivered by Fred M. Donner on April 29, 2013. The Ziadeh Fund was formally endowed in 2001. Since that time, with your support, it has allowed us to strengthen our educational reach and showcase the most outstanding scholarship in Arab and Islamic Studies, and to do so always in honor of our dear colleague Farhat Ziadeh, whose contributions to the fields of Islamic law, Arabic language, and Islamic Studies are truly unparalleled. Farhat J. Ziadeh was born in Ramallah, Palestine, in 1917. He received his B.A. from the American University of Beirut in 1937 and his LL.B. from the University of London in 1940. He then attended Lincoln’s Inn, London, where he became a Barrister-at-Law in 1946. In the final years of the British Mandate, he served as a Magistrate for the Government of Palestine before eventually moving with his family to the United States. He was appointed Professor of Arabic and Islamic Law at Princeton University, where he taught until 1966, at which time he moved to the University of Washington. The annual lectureship in his name is a fitting tribute to his international reputation and his national service to the discipline of Arabic and Islam- ic Studies.

THE BAPTISM OF EDWIN, KING OF NORTHUMBRIA: A NEW ANALYSIS OF THE BRITISH TRADITION CAITLIN CORNING* George Fox University, Newberg, Oregon SINCE THE NINTH CENTURY, at the latest, two versions of Edwin's baptism have existed. The more familiar one, found in Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica and the Anonymous Vita Gregorii, claims that Edwin was baptized by Paulinus, a member of the papal mission.' The British sources, however, give a different version of events. The HistoriaBrittonum and the Annates Cambriae record that it was Rhun, son of Urien, who was the baptizer.' An attempt to assess the validity of the British claim is critical because it has important ramifications in the relationship between Northumbria and the Kingdom of Rheged in the early seventh century.

    Chapter 8 CHINESE ARMS AND FOREIGN POLICY TO 684 The middle decades of the seventh century marked the zenith of the Chinese empire. Never before and never again would the Son of Heaven lay claim to so great an area outside the Wall and exact from it at least a nominal allegiance. Seldom would the arms of a purely Chinese dynasty venture so far afield to win the impressive if ephemeral victories that were so frequent during that period. It was a time of confidence and expansionism, a time when uncounted "barbarians" were incorporated into the Middle Kingdom and when tribute reached Ch'ang-an from as far away as India and Indochina, from Persia and the oasis states of Central Asia, from Japan and the Korean peninsula. And with the tribute came requests for state marriages and alliances, for instruction in classical learn­ ing, Confucian statecraft and Buddhist theology. Life in Ch'ang-an and Loyang reflected what seems to have been a more generalized cosmopolitanism. Self- confidence in the visual arts, in music and manners, and even in styles of cloth­ ing, ^ and the vigor and richness of foreign influence was seldom to be recap­ tured in later ages. It was also a time of great generals, men like Su Ting- fang, Li Chi, and P'ei Hsing-chien, whose proud armies covered distances and en­ dured hardships which stagger the imagination, and whose triumphal processions were regular events in the capital during the 660s and 670s. It is not surpris­ ing that the Empress Wu was able to boast in 684 of how Kao-tsung, and by impli­ cation herself, had expanded the empire {oh'an-yu) and had brought to submission areas beyond the reach even of the legendary Yu and T‘ang.2 These achievements did not necessarily belong to the Two Sages alone.

  • Trade and Exchange in Anglo-Saxon Wessex, C Ad 600–780
    Medieval Archaeology, 60/1, 2016 Trade and Exchange in Anglo-Saxon Wessex, c ad 600–780 By MICHAEL D COSTEN1 and NICHOLAS P COSTEN2 THIS PAPER ASSESSES the provenance and general distribution of coins of the period c ad 600–780 found in the west of Anglo-Saxon Wessex. It shows that the distribution of coin finds is not a function of the habits of metal detectorists, but a reflection of the real pattern of losses. In the second part of the paper, an analysis of the observed distributions is presented which reveals that the bulk of trade, of which the coins are a sign, was carried on through local ports and that foreign trade was not mediated through Hamwic, but came directly from the Continent. The distribution of coin finds also suggests an important export trade, probably in wool and woollen goods, controlled from major local centres. There are also hints of a potentially older trade system in which hillforts and other open sites were important. INTRODUCTION Discussion of trade and exchange in the middle Anglo-Saxon period has reached an advanced stage, and the progress in understanding the possible reach and consequences of recent discoveries has transformed our view of Anglo-Saxon society in the period ad 600–800. Most of the research has focused upon the eastern side of Britain, in particular upon discoveries in East Anglia, Lincolnshire and the south-east. The stage was really set in 1982 when Richard Hodges put forward his model of the growth of exchange and trade among the emerging 7th-century Anglo-Saxon kingdoms; he developed the thesis that the trade which took place was concentrated in particular localities which he labelled ‘emporia’.3 It seemed that there might be one of these central places for each of the newly forming Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, or at least the dominant ones.

Available from http://www.i6doc.com/en/. Fusion of estimations from two modalities using the Viterbi's algorithm: application to fetal heart rate monitoring R´emiSouriau1;2, Julie Fontecave-Jallon1 and Bertrand Rivet2 1- Univ. Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, UMR 5525, VetAgro Sup, Grenoble INP, TIMC, 38000 Grenoble, France 2- Univ. Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, UMR 5216, Grenoble INP, GIPSA-lab, 38000 Grenoble, France Abstract. The Viterbi's algorithm allows to estimate latent time series according to observations in a hidden Markov model. This algorithm can be used to merge estimations from different modalities as proposed in this paper. Such a multi-modal estimation is more efficient than mono- modal estimations when the modalities are subject to independent noises. In this paper, this improvement is evaluated in function of noise level of modalities. Experiences on toy data and actual signals to estimate the fetal heart rate show that merging modalities will provide better estimations on average than using the modalities separately. 1 Introduction Fetal well-being monitoring relies on the analysis of the fetal heart rate (fHR) [1]. The estimation of the fHR can be based on different cardiac signals: e.g., the heart electrical activities through the electrocardiogram (ECG) [2] or the me- chanical heart information through the phonocardiogram (PCG) [3]. Their mea- sures are both subject to different noise sources since these two modalities have different physiological origins. Based on this, the merging of both modalities for the estimation of the fHR seems to be an interesting path to gain in perfor- mance [4].

Our method is to compare the 14C variation around AD 775 with other periods of strong variability. Our results are: (a) We see three periods, where 14C varied over 200 yr in a special way showing a certain pattern of strong secular variation: after a Grand Minimum with strongly increasing 14C, there is a series of strong short-term drop(s), rise(s), and again drop(s) within 60 yr, ending up to 200 yr after the start of the Grand Minimum. These three periods include the strong rises around BC 671, AD 775, and AD 1795. (b) We show with several solar activity proxies (radioisotopes, sunspots, and aurorae) for the AD 770s and 1790s that such intense rapid 14C increases can be explained by strong rapid decreases in solar activity and, hence, wind, so that the decrease in solar modulation potential leads to an increase in radioisotope production. (c) The strong rises around AD 775 and 1795 are due to three effects, (i) very strong activity in the previous cycles (i.e.

  • Reflections on the Identity of the Arabian Conquerors of the Seventh-Century Middle East
    Reflections on the Identity of the Arabian Conquerors of the Seventh-Century Middle East ROBERT G. HOYLAND Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, New York University ([email protected]) Abstract This paper offers some reflections on the nature of the identity of the seventh-century Arabian conquerors of the Middle East based on the author’s own experience of writing about this topic in his book In God’s Path (Oxford 2015). This subject has been considerably enlivened by the influential and provocative publications of Fred Donner (Muhammad and the Believers, 2010) and Peter Webb (Imagining the Arabs, 2016). What follows is an attempt to respond to and engage with these publications and to offer some thoughts on how this debate might productively move forward. Introduction This article began its life as a reply to some negative reviews of my book In God’s Path: The Arab Conquests and the First Islamic Empire (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2015), in particular those by Fred Donner and Peter Webb. However, in the process of reflection I became more interested in the issues which underlay their reviews, especially the matter of the identity of the key participants in the Arabian conquest of the Middle East. Both scholars have written books which deal innovatively with this issue and which, despite their recent date, have already had a substantial impact upon the field.1 This is due in part to the originality of their ideas and in part to the current enthusiasm for this topic, for, as Webb has recently observed, “the study of communal identities in the early Muslim-era Middle East is perhaps 1.
