    Aspects of St Anna's Cult in Byzantium

    ASPECTS OF ST ANNA’S CULT IN BYZANTIUM by EIRINI PANOU A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham January 2011 Acknowledgments It is said that a PhD is a lonely work. However, this thesis, like any other one, would not have become reality without the contribution of a number of individuals and institutions. First of all of my academical mother, Leslie Brubaker, whose constant support, guidance and encouragement accompanied me through all the years of research. Of the National Scholarship Foundation of Greece ( I.K.Y.) with its financial help for the greatest part of my postgraduate studies. Of my father George, my mother Angeliki and my bother Nick for their psychological and financial support, and of my friends in Greece (Lily Athanatou, Maria Sourlatzi, Kanela Oikonomaki, Maria Lemoni) for being by my side in all my years of absence. Special thanks should also be addressed to Mary Cunningham for her comments on an early draft of this thesis and for providing me with unpublished material of her work. I would like also to express my gratitude to Marka Tomic Djuric who allowed me to use unpublished photographic material from her doctoral thesis. Special thanks should also be addressed to Kanela Oikonomaki whose expertise in Medieval Greek smoothened the translation of a number of texts, my brother Nick Panou for polishing my English, and to my colleagues (Polyvios Konis, Frouke Schrijver and Vera Andriopoulou) and my friends in Birmingham (especially Jane Myhre Trejo and Ola Pawlik) for the wonderful time we have had all these years.

    From the Law of Citations to Justinian's Digest1）

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Lecture From the Law of Citations to Justinian’s Digest1） David Pugsley＊ Introduction Since 1989 I have been working on and off on Justinianʼs Digest and I have published a series of articles about it. The earlier ones have been collected in three small volumes under the title Justini- anʼs Digest and the Compilers, vol. I (1995), vol. II (2000), vol. III (2007). There are another eight articles published or in course of publication. This paper is an attempt at a chronological synthesis, as far as possible without getting lost in the details of the sources and alternative theories. The Law of Citations Do you think that there are too many law books: too many books to buy and pay for; too many books to read; too many books to keep in your library? ＊ Professor, International Faculty of Comparative law of Strasbourg 1） This is a revised version of a paper presented in Tokyo and Nagoya in Novem- ber 2016 . I am grateful to Professor Tsuno for his invitation, and to my Japanese colleagues for the stimulating debate on both occasions. 1 COMPARATIVE LAW REVIEW〔Vol. LI-2, 2017〕 They thought that there were too many law books in the fifth century in Rome and Constantinople. That was the problem be- fore the Law of Citations provided a solution in 426/438.2） The constitution gave primary authority to Papinian, Paul, Gaius, Ulpi- an and Modestinus, and secondary authority to those whose works were quoted by them, such as Scaevola, Sabin us, Julian and Marcellus.

    The Role of Images and Artworks in Everyday Roman Life as Reflected in the Sources of Roman Law Richard Gamauf Introduction Classical Roman law (from the late first cent. BCE to the third cent. CE) had few rules that applied on images or other artworks as such: The artistic value of a painting became a ratio decidendi at times during the long discussions about the tabula picta; a particular legal regime was developed for imperial images and statues which consequently turned them into places of asylum. In addition to these special cases various kinds of artefacts appear in legal texts. However, most discussions are related to images or art only by the accidental facts of the individual cases decided and documented by Roman jurists. For the concrete solutions the artistic character of an object as such was marginal. The number of texts involving artworks of all kinds is quite substantial; their legal problems come from almost all areas of Roman private law. Therefore their special historical value mostly lies in the many scattered factual details they preserve: They contain pieces of information on the place of artworks in Roman life, the art market, the producers of art, etc., of which only a few selected examples can be presented in this context.1 1 On art in Roman legal sources see VISKY 1971, LUCREZI 1984, HORAK 1987, WILLVONSEDER 2006, and PLISECKA 2011; on its social dimensions see, e.g., CLARKE 2004 and STEWART 2008. 1 Powers of images A text by late second/early third century jurist Paulus conserves an interesting reflection about the nature and purposes of portraits (imagines), occasioned by a strange case:2 A person’s remains had been buried in two places on estates of different owners.

    Roman Law and Reception by Lorena Atzeri

    Roman Law and Reception by Lorena Atzeri This contribution offers an overview of the origin, development and persistence of Roman law from its origins in the 8th century BC to the 19th century AD. Roman law and its sources, above all the Justinianic Codification – the so called Corpus Iuris Civilis – have left an indelible imprint on the development of law in Europe and laid the foundation of many European legal systems. The role of Roman law within the legal science in the Middle Ages and the modern period will therefore also be treated here. Moreover, this article will discuss the fundamental relationship between Roman and Canon law and the reception of Roman law in many countries in Europe. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

You are the moon of my life, For this, I will always adore you. IV Acknowledgements To Professor Bruce W. Frier, who first introduced me to Roman law in fall of my junior year and who has advised me in all facets of my thesis, I humbly and sincerely extend my deepest gratitude for all of his wisdom and guidance during the construction of this paper. I must also express my appreciation for Professor Celia Schultz who, despite having been asked at the last minute, stood as my second reader and offered me wonderful counsel. Although I restructured the entire chapter I wrote in Dr. Netta Berlin’s thesis writing course, I would be at a loss without her encouragement and guidance. And I give my thanks to all the other professors who have by political, architectural, or literary means shaped my view of Roman history. To the Department of Classics for permitting me access to the immeasurable wealth of the Library and allowing me the opportunity to pursue a thesis I am indebted. I would be lost without Alexander Hermann’s pointed criticisms and useful insights; and I thank him for all the time he spent helping me develop ideas and telling this story.

    GUIDE TO BYZANTINE HISTORICAL WRITING This handy reference guide makes it easier to access and understand histories written in Greek between 600 and 1480 CE. Covering classi• cizing histories that continued ancient Greek traditions of historiog• raphy, sweeping, fast-paced "chronicle"-type histories, and dozens of idiosyncratic historical texts, it distills the results of complex, multilin• gual, specialist scholarship into clear explanations of the basic infor• mation needed to approach each medieval Greek history. It provides a sound basis for further research on each text by describing what we know about the time of composition, content covered by the history, authorship, extant manuscripts, previous editions and translations, and basic bibliography. Even-handed explanations of scholarly debates give readers the information they need to assess controversies independently. A comprehensive introduction orients students and nonspecialists to the traditions and methods of Byzantine historical writing. It will prove an invaluable timesaver for Byzantinists and an essential gateway for classicists, western medievalists, and students. LEONORA NEVILLE is a historian of Byzantine culture and society. Her work on Byzantine historical writing has dealt with how Byzantine authors interacted with classical models of history writing and culture and tried to shape contemporary opinion by writing history. She is the author of Anna Komnene: The Life and Work of a Medieval Historian (2016), Heroes and Romans in Twelfih- Century Byzantium: The Material for History of Nikephoros Bryennios (Cambridge University Press, 2012), and Authority in Byzantine Provincial Society: p$o—lloo (Cambridge University Press, 2004).

He has inspired a great deal of interest among generations of researchers1. He was both a just emperor, a skilled administrator, a wise commander, and a talented writer. The literary work of Julian the Apostate is vast although it cannot be ful- ly assessed because some of the emperor’s works have been lost. The ruler left behind numerous literary pieces2: 8 orations; 2 satires – Misopogon, or the Beard Hater, and The Caesars, a polemic treatise Against the Galilaeans; a collection of 1 G.
