  • 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.

  • Pagan Survivals, Superstitions and Popular Cultures in Early Medieval Pastoral Literature
    Bernadette Filotas PAGAN SURVIVALS, SUPERSTITIONS AND POPULAR CULTURES IN EARLY MEDIEVAL PASTORAL LITERATURE Is medieval pastoral literature an accurate reflection of actual beliefs and practices in the early medieval West or simply of literary conventions in- herited by clerical writers? How and to what extent did Christianity and traditional pre-Christian beliefs and practices come into conflict, influence each other, and merge in popular culture? This comprehensive study examines early medieval popular culture as it appears in ecclesiastical and secular law, sermons, penitentials and other pastoral works – a selective, skewed, but still illuminating record of the be- liefs and practices of ordinary Christians. Concentrating on the five cen- turies from c. 500 to c. 1000, Pagan Survivals, Superstitions and Popular Cultures in Early Medieval Pastoral Literature presents the evidence for folk religious beliefs and piety, attitudes to nature and death, festivals, magic, drinking and alimentary customs. As such it provides a precious glimpse of the mu- tual adaptation of Christianity and traditional cultures at an important period of cultural and religious transition.

  • The First Œcumenical Synod and the Feast of Pascha “...Not with the Jews” by Archimandrite Sergius
    The First Œcumenical Synod and the Feast of Pascha “...not with the Jews” by Archimandrite Sergius THE VERY REVEREND SERGIUS, former Assistant Professor at the Theological Acad - emy in Sofia, Bulgaria, is the spiritual Father of the Russian Convent of the Holy Pro - tection in Sofia, which is under the Omophorion of Bishop Photii of Triaditza, the sole Hierarch of the True (Old Calendar) Orthodox Church of Bulgaria and himself a former Assistant Professor at the University of Sofia. Father Sergius was dismissed from his academic post when he refused to accept the revised New, or Papal, Calen - dar, on the occasion of its introduction into the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. He is rightly considered a confessor of the Faith by traditionalist Bulgarian believers. OF LATE, a number of Orthodox theologians and clergymen have con - tended that the proscription against celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord, Pascha (known in the Western world by the pagan term “Easter”), “with the Jews” is unknown and not, indeed, as the Orthodox Church has always taught, an actual decree of the First Œcumenical Synod convened in Nicaea in 325 A.D. This innovative claim is based on the argument that the Acts of this council have not been preserved and that the twenty extant Canons of the Synod do not mention the celebration of Pascha. In fact, however, in both the epistle of St. Constantine the Great to those Bishops who were unable to at - tend the Synod, as well as the letter sent by the Synod to the Church of Alexandria, there are relevant—albeit, indirect—data to be found in the spe - cific agreements between the Synod and the Christians of the Eastern do - mains with regard to the common celebration of Pascha by all Christians.

  • PYTHAGORAS-The-Story-Of-A-Child
    1 Title: Pitagora – Storia di un bambino diventato immortale © 2019 Nuova Scuola Pitagorica – all rights reserved Editing by Marco Tricoli Cover by Giuseppe Santoro Translation by Gabriella Mongiardo www.nuovascuolapitagorica.org 2 Pythagoras The story of a child that became immortal Nuova Scuola Pitagorica 3 Foreword This publication was born with the intention of stimulating awareness of the Pythagorean phenomenon and of opening a debate in society and particularly in the world of school edu- cation. It represents a starting point for a series of activities in various fields to schedule over the years. The contents of this text are the result of studies and analyses conducted within the New Pythagorean School, thanks to the contribution of its members spread around the world. The New Pythagorean School is an organization open to eve- ryone, without any preclusion and without precepts or pre- conceived truths to give: a school of free thought. It conducts activities in various cultural sectors, from the artistic to the lit- erary one, giving particular emphasis to ethical philosophy as a universal guide to righteous behavior in order to create a bet- ter world. 4 Pythagoras The story of a child that became immortal There once was a beautiful and intelligent child, with long flowing hair that sometimes took on a blond shade and at other times a copper one. Thus, he was called the long-haired. His eyes were a sea green and light blue sky color and his body was thin and in shape. He was also very curious and continu- ously asked questions about everything.

  • Welcome to the Complete Pythagoras
    Welcome to The Complete Pythagoras A full-text, public domain edition for the generalist & specialist Edited by Patrick Rousell for the World Wide Web. I first came across Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie’s edition of the Complete Pythagoras while researching a book on Leonardo. I had been surfing these deep waters for a while and so the value of Guthrie’s publication was immediately apparent. As Guthrie explains in his own introduction, which is at the beginning of the second book (p 168), he was initially prompted to publish these writings in the 1920’s for fear that this information would become lost. As it is, much of this information has since been published in fairly good modern editions. However, these are still hard to access and there is no current complete collection as presented by Guthrie. The advantage here is that we have a fairly comprehensive collection of works on Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans, translated from the origin- al Greek into English, and presented as a unified, albeit electronic edition. The Complete Pythagoras is a compilation of two books. The first is entitled The Life Of Py- thagoras and contains the four biographies of Pythagoras that have survived from antiquity: that of Iamblichus (280-333 A.D.), Porphry (233-306 A.D.), Photius (ca 820- ca 891 A.D.) and Diogenes Laertius (180 A.D.). The second is entitled Pythagorean Library and is a complete collection of the surviving fragments from the Pythagoreans. The first book was published in 1920, the second a year later, and released together as a bound edition.

  • Porphyry on Pythagoras V
    Porphyry on The Life of Pythagoras Porphyry on Pythagoras v. 12.11, www.philaletheians.co.uk, 3 April 2018 Page 1 of 15 BUDDHAS AND INITIATES SERIES PORPHYRY ON PYTHAGORAS From Porphyrius, Vita Pythagorae, 17. Translated by Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie. Alpine, New Jer- sey: Platonist Press, c. 1919. This biography should not to confused with the another work bear- ing the same title by Iamblichus, thought to be Porphyry’s disciple. ANY THINK THAT PYTHAGORAS WAS THE SON OF MNESARCHUS, but they differ as to the latter’s race; some thinking him a Samian, while Neanthes, M in the fifth book of his Fables states he was a Syrian, from the city of Tyre. As a famine had arisen in Samos, Mnesarchus went thither to trade, and was natu- ralized there. There also was born his son Pythagoras, who early manifested studi- ousness, but was later taken to Tyre, and there entrusted to the Chaldeans, whose doctrines he imbibed. Thence he returned to Ionia, where he first studied under the Syrian Pherecydes, then also under Hermodamas the Creophylian who at that time was an old man residing in Samos. 2. Neanthes says that others hold that his father was a Tyrrhenian, of those who in- habit Lemnos, and that while on a trading trip to Samos was there naturalized. On sailing to Italy, Mnesarchus took the youth Pythagoras with him. Just at this time this country was greatly flourishing. Neanthes adds that Pythagoras had two older brothers, Eunostus and Tyrrhenus. But Apollonius, in his book about Pythagoras, affirms that his mother was Pythais, a descendant, of Ancaeus, the founder of Sa- mos.

  • Download Date | 6/9/19 10:06 AM Pseudo-Pythagorean Literature 73
    Philologus 2019; 163(1): 72–94 Leonid Zhmud* What is Pythagorean in the Pseudo-Pythagorean Literature? https://doi.org/10.1515/phil-2018-0003 Abstract: This paper discusses continuity between ancient Pythagoreanism and the pseudo-Pythagorean writings, which began to appear after the end of the Pythagorean school ca. 350 BC. Relying on a combination of temporal, formal and substantial criteria, I divide Pseudopythagorica into three categories: 1) early Hellenistic writings (late fourth – late second centuries BC) ascribed to Pytha- goras and his family members; 2) philosophical treatises written mostly, yet not exclusively, in pseudo-Doric from the turn of the first century BC under the names of real or fictional Pythagoreans; 3) writings attributed to Pythagoras and his relatives that continued to appear in the late Hellenistic and Imperial periods. I will argue that all three categories of pseudepigrapha contain astonishingly little that is authentically Pythagorean. Keywords: Pythagoreanism, pseudo-Pythagorean writings, Platonism, Aristote- lianism Forgery has been widespread in time and place and varied in its goals and methods, and it can easily be confused with superficially similar activities. A. Grafton Note: An earlier version of this article was presented at the colloquium “Pseudopythagorica: stratégies du faire croire dans la philosophie antique” (Paris, 28 May 2015). I would like to thank Constantinos Macris (CNRS) for his kind invitation. The final version was written during my fellowship at the IAS of Durham University and presented at the B Club, Cambridge, in Mai 2016. I am grateful to Gábor Betegh for inviting me to give a talk and to the audience for the vivid discussion.

  • 12. Heraclitus' Ethics
    12. Heraclitus’ Ethics David Sider Investigations into Heraclitus’ ethics are scarce on the ground. It is not that, apart from some that have been been overlooked because they are universally considered spurious, his several comments that touch upon human behavior have been ignored—there are too few fragments for any to go uncommented for long—but that they seem isolated and not obviously calling out to be made part of a systematic theory of eth- ical behavior. Furthermore, it has to be said that some of these scarce attempts to study Heraclitus’ ethics are disappointing.1 Nor does the subject of ethics as such receive much attention in more comprehensive treatments. It is true that ethics is discussed elsewhere in the huge Hera- clitus bibliography, but rarely head-on as a subject to be investigated and analyzed in its own right.2 Two noteworthy contributions to the liter- 1 Thus, A. N. Zoumpos, “Das ‘ethische Urteil’ bei Heraklit,” Platon 11 (1959) 420–423, raises the Aristotelian distinction between a-priori and a-posteriori reasoning, only to find that this does not apply to Heraclitus, which does not get us very far: “Kurz gesagt nimmt Herakleitos das ‘ethische Urteil’ als Produkt des ‘Göttlichen Logos’ an, das naturgemäss also in Voraus in den Menschen vor- hande ist.” (One could compare Anaxagoras’ Nous, which also shows up in an- imals.) Zoumpos relies too heavily on Plato for his understanding of Heraclitus, especially those passages in the Cratylus and Theaetetus that characterize him pri- marily as one relying on a theory of flux to explain his epistemological con- cerns.

  • Women in Early Pythagoreanism
    Women in Early Pythagoreanism Caterina Pellò Faculty of Classics University of Cambridge Clare Hall February 2018 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Alla nonna Ninni, che mi ha insegnato a leggere e scrivere Abstract Women in Early Pythagoreanism Caterina Pellò The sixth-century-BCE Pythagorean communities included both male and female members. This thesis focuses on the Pythagorean women and aims to explore what reasons lie behind the prominence of women in Pythagoreanism and what roles women played in early Pythagorean societies and thought. In the first chapter, I analyse the social conditions of women in Southern Italy, where the first Pythagorean communities were founded. In the second chapter, I compare Pythagorean societies with ancient Greek political clubs and religious sects. Compared to mainland Greece, South Italian women enjoyed higher legal and socio-political status. Similarly, religious groups included female initiates, assigning them authoritative roles. Consequently, the fact that the Pythagoreans founded their communities in Croton and further afield, and that in some respects these communities resembled ancient sects helps to explain why they opened their doors to the female gender to begin with. The third chapter discusses Pythagoras’ teachings to and about women. Pythagorean doctrines did not exclusively affect the followers’ way of thinking and public activities, but also their private way of living. Thus, they also regulated key aspects of the female everyday life, such as marriage and motherhood. I argue that the Pythagorean women entered the communities as wives, mothers and daughters. Nonetheless, some of them were able to gain authority over their fellow Pythagoreans and engage in intellectual activities, thus overcoming the female traditional domestic roles.
