Yet, unlike many ancient civilizations, we have managed to survive, and this fact is amazing in itself. Today, in the first half of the 21st century, we are again poised at a critical juncture and are facing choices that will have very serious consequences for our nation. We must compare possible trajectories for the nation’s future development and make choices that reflect our keen awareness of our responsibility to the generations to come.

  • FROM EXPULSION to EMANCIPATION Jews in England from the Middle Ages to the Victorian Era
    1 FROM EXPULSION TO EMANCIPATION Jews in England from the Middle Ages to the Victorian Era by Lionel Gossman Foreword The original impetus for the present essay was an invitation from Professor George Landow of Brown University, the learned founder and director of the website www.victorianweb.org to write an account of the so-called “Jew Bill” of 1753, which I happen to have mentioned in one of three earlier essays published on that extraordinary, richly documented website. In view of the website’s focus on the Victorian era, however, I thought it was essential to contextualise the 1753 Bill by situating it in the gradual evolution of the status of Jews in Britain until the achievement of full emancipation in the reign of Queen Victoria. The aim of the book-length study which grew out of this project is thus not to add further material to the history of the Jews in England or to offer a new perspective on it but, while locating the 1753 Bill in the history of the Jews in Britain, to pull together the existing, outstanding scholarship on the history of the Jews in England -- infrequently utilized or even referred to in many fine histories of England – and make it readily accessible to all readers. In addition, however, at a time of increasing anti-Zionism (anti-Semitism?) and uncertainty, among so-called diaspora Jews themselves (for how many generations is it usual for people to think of themselves as part of a diaspora?), as to whether “the people of God” refers to a nation (or, as Benjamin Disraeli put it, a “race”), or to a religious community, or to the inheritors of a tradition, it seems not inappropriate to reconsider the evolving place of Jews in one society, which, in its turn, has defined itself, at various times, by religion, by descent and inheritance, and by a shared history and shared values and interests.

  • Re)Writing History in Byzantium
    (Re)writing History in Byzantium Scholars have recently begun to study collections of Byzantine historical excerpts as autonomous pieces of literature. This book focuses on a series of minor collec- tions that have received little or no scholarly attention, including the Epitome of the Seventh Century, the Excerpta Anonymi (tenth century), the Excerpta Salmasiana (eighth to eleventh centuries), and the Excerpta Planudea (thirteenth century). Three aspects of these texts are analysed in detail: their method of redaction, their literary structure, and their cultural and political function. Combining codicologi- cal, literary, and political analyses, this study contributes to a better understanding of the intertwining of knowledge and power, and suggests that these collections of historical excerpts should be seen as a Byzantine way of rewriting history. Panagiotis Manafis is a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Birmingham, UK. His research interests include middle Byzantine literature, with a particular focus on the manuscript transmission of texts.

  • Ramsar Advisory Mission N°94 Venice and Its Lagoon, Italy (2020)
    Ramsar Advisory Mission N°94 Venice and its Lagoon, Italy (2020) (including Ramsar Site N°423 Laguna di Venezia: Valle Averto) RAMSAR ADVISORY MISSIONS The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands requires its Parties to designate key sites as Wetlands of International Importance (‘Ramsar Sites’). Parties commit to maintain the ecological character of designated sites. However, Ramsar Sites can face a variety of challenges, including develop- ments in the agricultural, industrial, infrastructure, residential, tourism and recreation sectors; water management issues that affect water quality and quantity; invasive alien species and climate change. Ramsar Advisory Missions (RAMs) help Parties and site managers respond to threats to the ecological character of Ramsar Sites. They are a means by which the Convention provides technical advice for the management and conservation of listed ‘Wetlands of International Importance’ whose ecological character has changed, is changing or is likely to change as a result of technological developments, pollution or other human interference (Resolution XIII.11). RAMs may be conducted jointly with other multilateral agreements or agencies. Advantages of joint missions include increased efficiency from the perspective of the Party, when related international institutions are working together at a practical level, and increased authority and impact of mission findings and recommendations. JOINT ADVISORY MISSION TO VENICE BY THE UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE CENTRE, ICOMOS AND RAMSAR The World Heritage Committee is following the state of conservation of the property ‘Venice and its Lagoon’ in the framework of its ‘Reactive Monitoring’ process since 2014. Upon the request of the Committee, a joint ‘Reactive Monitoring Mission’ by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), and the Secretariat of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands took place in October 2015 (cf.
