Byzantine monasticism Research Papers - Academia.edu (original) (raw)

2025

This project seeks to examine the romantic, picturesque, and oriental images that appeared in illustrated magazines, newspapers, and travelers’ accounts in the United States, France, and Greece in the 20th century. My project aims to analyze the choices of the words, monuments, and viewpoints of each author and each artist. It includes books, other written, photographic accounts and other artworks by American, French and Greek travelers. As audiences around the world consumed the publications described above, in this project, I propose to present photographs, books, and reproductions of documents and artworks (paintings, prints and photographs) that helped form the opinion of outsiders toward Mount Athos, this over-a-thousand-year old monastic community and cradle of Byzantine and Post-Byzantine culture. Most importantly, I seek to directly and creatively approach and contextualize the way that those audiences understood Mount Athos shortly before the global economic crisis of 1929 and till the first two decades after WWII.

2025, Insights into Islamic Archaeology and Material Culture: A Conference in Jerusalem

The Umayyad Palace comPlex of Khirbat al-Mafjar, located near Jericho, is the most important cultural symbol of the early Islamic period for Palestine, one comparable to Sāmarrāʾ in ʿIraq and Fusṭāṭ in Egypt. 1 As with many famous sites, this monument suffers from misunderstandings and distortions of its archaeological evidence. The Jericho Mafjar Project is a research initiative undertaken by the Palestinian Department of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage and the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures (former Oriental Institute) of the University of Chicago. 2 There are two directions this archaeological reassessment might take. The first one is a careful stratification of the long history of building complexes, an approach systematically pursued by Dimitri Baramki, the first excavator of Qaṣr Hishām. 3 The second direction is an appreciation of its setting, the evolving context of the palace, and its estate in relation to Arīḥā (Jericho), the continuing Christian center of the entire oasis. This external relationship has been undertaken by Michael Jennings and Tony Lauricella as part of the Tell al-Ḥassan Project (see chapter 8). The renewed analysis of the structural history of these monuments, and of their spatial and environmental contexts, has led Ignacio Arce to reevaluations of the sequence and form of these buildings and their functions (chapter 6). An understanding of the history and archaeology of Khirbat al-Mafjar means a return to the study of the ceramics found there and discernment of the stratigraphy of the site, both in superimposition and horizontally (contra Baramki, above). For many scholars, the volume An Arabian Mansion in the Jordan Valley by Robert Hamilton (1959) stands as the definitive report of this site. This monograph describes the architecture of the palace, bath, mosque, and pavilion with a focus on embellishments in carved stone and stucco, fresco paintings, and the magnificent mosaic carpets. A close reading reveals that this work is not a complete archaeological report, and one must still use Baramki's four preliminary reports (published in the Quarterly of the Department of Archaeology in Palestine). Not only are many categories of artifacts missing from Hamilton's publication (e.g., coins, inscriptions, pottery, glass, and small objects), but the archaeology of the bath also remains unpublished. The audience hall and bath were excavated from 1943 to 1948, and Baramki's manuscripts for two more reports may be found in an article on the ceramics, published in 1944, that demonstrates his accurate analysis of the stratigraphy of the site. While Hamilton's short chronology (the twenty-five years from Hishām's accession to the caliphate in 724 ce until the earthquake of 749 ce)

2025, REEVALUATING THE INSTITUTIONAL AUTONOMY OF 14TH CENTURY MOUNT ATHOS UNDER THE OTTOMANS: THE “CONFISCATION ISSUE” CONCERNING ATHONIAN LANDHOLDINGS IN POST-BYZANTINE MACEDONIA

The dependances of the monasteries of Mount Athos, from the emergence of the Athonian monastic community, constituted a unique and particular institution which had certain legal characteristics; it was recognized by both the Byzantine and the post-Byzantine legal order and was always respected by every sovereign in the history of Mount Athos. These features were that they constituted the property of each monastery, according to its legal type as a foundation of Byzantine-Roman law; they could come from any legal cause and be subject to ratification or recognition, directly or indirectly, by an imperial act and had a privileged character and enjoyed special protection, rendering them inalienable. The Byzantine institution of monastic dependance institutionally and historically influenced the development of the kinship institution of the Ottoman and Islamic vakif, and it is known that the Ottomans recognized and protected the dependances, especially those of the Athonite monasteries. The opinions regarding the alleged confiscations of dependances of Athonian monasteries during the early period of Ottoman rule, around the end of the 14 th century, are incorrect. The study examines in detail the cases of two dependances of the Zographou monastery in 1392, one dependance of the Esphigmenou monastery from 1388 and some dependances of the Vatopedi monastery, based on two documents (from 1404 and 1408) from its archive.

Testi scelti da Padri, monaci e santi della tradizione cristiana Introduzione La maldicenza, o detrazione, consiste nel parlare male del prossimo in sua assenza, con l'intento o l'effetto di diminuirne la reputazione. Si distingue dalla calunnia perché non necessariamente dice il falso: ma il suo veleno sta nell'intenzione e nella mancanza di carità. La tradizione cristiana, fin dai primi secoli, ha visto in essa un grave pericolo per la vita spirituale e per la comunione fraterna. I Padri del deserto, i fondatori del monachesimo, i santi pastori e teologi di ogni secolo l'hanno denunciata come un peccato che corrompe il cuore, turba le comunità, spegne lo Spirito.

This research deals with an analytical study of urbanization and Urbanism, in terms of the concept as well as the characteristics of urbanization, whether size, density or heterogeneity. And the study of the intellectual trends explaining the process of urbanization, classical, and the modern ecological trend, or the trend of urban culture and its concept according to Louis Worth, in addition to its characteristics related to social and cultural changes, including values, customs, and traditions. It will discuss the relationship of this process with the cultural, economic and social characteristics of the society, as well as determining the civilizing elements for the continuation of the process of urbanization, in the Arab world in a comprehensive way, and in Egypt and specifically the countries of Nubia in particular. In his study of Nubia, the research relies on the period of displacement and the cultural and social impact of the people of this region after they moved from their old homeland to the Kom Ombo region. And the impact of this transition on their tangible cultural heritage in their various decorations used to decorate the facades of Nubian houses in Old Nubia and New Nubia and drawing inspiration from the decorative elements of this region, specifically the decorations of the facades of Nubian houses, in creating designs suitable for making textile hangings printed with digital printing and commensurate with the spatial space in which they are placed.

2 nd PhD and early-career scholars transdisciplinary seminar Conflict constitutes a crucial and inevitable dimension of common life, requiring procedural and normative regulation and shared discursive practices. Public discourse has long been regarded as a fundamental instrument for democratic management of political conflict, dating back to Antiquity. Consider, for instance, the so-called isegoría -the equal right to speech enjoyed by members of the Athenian ecclesía -which represented the cornerstone of political deliberation. Furthermore, the significance of rhetoric and the widespread presence of professionals (sophists and rhetoricians) who taught argumentative techniques to effectively support one's opinions further attest to the central role of dialogical exchange in the socio-political structures of classical Greece. Over the centuries, the issue of conflict has been at the center of philosophical and political thought, and conflict has been conceptualized through different and sometimes incompatible paradigms. On the one hand, Kelsen's idea of compromise identifies parliamentary dialectics as a means to mediate between opposing interests, ensuring stability while preserving plurality. On the other, Carl Schmitt defines conflict as the very essence of politics -rooted in the distinction between friend and enemy -thus implying the exclusion of those outside the political community from conflict and leaving no room for dialogical discourse.

Works of art and architecture made by or for Jewish communities in the medieval period are often examined through the lenses of persecution and expulsion, or are contrasted against Christian or Muslim“styles.” Co-hosted by The Courtauld and Case Western Reserve University, this symposium seeks to expand and nuance these narratives in order to highlight how works of art and architecture can uniquely trace the history of particular Jewish communities by mapping their movements and traditions across generations and geographies. Medieval Jewish objects and spaces can also serve as loci to examine ideas related to collective memory and cultural identity. To that end, the symposium seeks to open new dialogues regarding the “afterlives” of medieval Jewish art more broadly, initiating discussions regarding the ways in which works of art and architecture continued to bear witness to the richness of Jewish life and culture long after they were created.

Mario Bellucci La Salandra (1892-1966), a pioneer researcher on Neapolitan School, created an iconographic collection of about 16,000 images. He aimed to illustrate various aspects of musicological knowledge, using drawings, photographs, traditional prints, and fragments of ‘minor print’. The whole collection has a powerful historical-documentary value. It allows us to reconstruct the author’s relationships with some relevant intellectuals of the time (e.g.: Alfredo Casella, Sebastiano Arturo Luciani, Raffaello De Rensis, etc.). The archive lies in the Apulian regional library of Foggia. Its project design prompts reflection on the emergence of experimental methodologies, in acquiring and processing specialist knowledge. It is possible to decode the disposition of the material thanks to published and unpublished writings of the author, as to specific bibliographical connections. Indeed, we may consider the personal dimension of the documents and book collection. So, the verb-visual textualization seems to be articulated and well-defined. The taxonomic structure of the “dictionary” also emerges, inspired by specific theoretical and cultural systems. Therefore, this research proposes an example of epistemological re-evaluation of iconographic archives. We may consider the ‘visual’ component not only in the purely informative sense but also in a discursive way, based on an interdisciplinary perspective.

The archaeological site of Khirbat Umm edh-Dhiyab, located at the eastern end of Ramat Bet Shemesh, Israel, was extensively surveyed and excavated, revealing significant historical layers. Excavations in 2015 uncovered a settlement dating to the first century CE, featuring residential structures, an alleyway and artifacts indicative of a Jewish presence. The surrounding agricultural area included winepresses, cup marks and an olivepress basin. A Roman-period cemetery with two mausolea was discovered southeast of the settlement. The excavation revealed four occupation layers dated to the Herodian, Early/ Middle Roman, Middle/Late Roman and Ottoman periods, each characterized by distinct architectural and functional elements. The finds contribute to our understanding of the region's settlement and agricultural patterns, sheding light on monumental burial customs during the Roman period.

La storica e antropologa Paola Trevisan ha intervistato diversi membri della comunità sinta che è oggi stanziata a Reggio Emilia, Modena e Bologna. Poiché queste interviste sono state registrate, offrono una preziosa testimonianza sulla lingua di questa comunità, che i parlanti stessi chiamano sinto (cfr. per esempio «dobbiamo parlarle in sinto»). A differenza di quanto sembrerebbe suggerire il glottonimo, questa varietà non appartiene alla romaní, cioè all’insieme di idiomi di base indo-aria parlati dai rom e dai sinti italiani, ma è un dialetto puramente italo-romanzo. Nonostante che i membri di questa comunità si trovino stanziati in Emilia da decenni, il loro dialetto non è affatto emiliano ma veneto: rimanda a una zona compresa tra Mantova, Ferrara e Verona. Si tratta quindi di un nuovo caso - fin ora non noto - di eteroglossia interna (Telmon 1992). Nella presentazione si darà qualche ragguaglio storico e linguistico su questa varietà e si proporrà una nuova etimologia (diversa da quella di Janda 1995) per uno dei suoi fenomeni più caratterizzanti: le forme di 1pl in -no (cantàvino 'cantavàmo')

Aşağı Menderes Vadisi'nde, özellikle Priene çevresinde 12. yüzyıldan itibaren mülk sahibi ailelerin yükselişi belirgin bir şekilde gözlemlenmektedir. Bu dönemde, Priene Geç Bizans Dönemi kayıtlarında "Sampson Episkepsisi" olarak anılmaktadır. Bu terim, imparatorluk hanedanlarıyla bağlantılı ya da yüksek rütbeli aristokratlar tarafından yönetilen, bağımsız idari birimleri tanımlamak için kullanılmıştır. Priene, Sampson Episkepsisinin merkezi olarak belirlenmiştir ve bu dönemde Arete Doukiana gibi yüksek rütbeli toprak sahipleri, bölge üzerindeki etkilerini artırmıştır. Özellikle, Sabas Asidenos'un Haçlıların Konstantinopolis'i almasının ardından Sampson kasabasını yönetmesiyle, yerel aristokratların önemi daha da artmıştır. Bölge, 7. yüzyılda Arap akınlarının etkisiyle olumsuz bir şekilde etkilenmiştir. Bu durum, kentteki arkeolojik ve yazılı kayıtların eksikliğiyle kendini göstermektedir. Kent merkezinin bu dönemde terk edildiği ve nüfusun daha korunaklı olan yüksek bölgelere, özellikle akropole yöneldiği anlaşılmaktadır. 10. yüzyıldan itibaren imparatorluk ve bölge genelinde tekrar bir toparlanma dönemi ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ancak 1071 sonrasında, Türklerin Anadolu'ya yerleşip Batı Anadolu kıyılarına kadar ilerledikleri anlaşılmaktadır. Bu dönemde, Batı Anadolu'nun birçok kenti Türk yöneticilerinin hakimiyeti altına girmiştir. Ancak, Priene ve çevresi bu süreçten etkilenmemiştir. Toprak sahiplerinin himayesi altında, 12. ve 13. yüzyıllarda Priene ve çevresinde gerçekleştirilen inşa ve onarım faaliyetleri ile kilise yapılarının sürekliliği gibi unsurlar, Priene'nin yeniden gelişimine önemli katkılarda bulunmuştur. Bu süreç aynı zamanda, bölgedeki nüfus artışını da tetiklemiştir. Menderes Vadisi'nin verimli tarımsal alanları hem Bizans İmparatorluğu hem de yerel toprak sahipleri için stratejik bir öneme sahipti. Bu dönemdeki yerleşim faaliyetleri, yerel aristokratların kentsel süreklilikteki rollerini pekiştirmiştir. Bu bağlamda, Menderes Vadisi'nin tarihsel gelişimi, bölgedeki yerel güç dengelerinin ve sosyoekonomik ilişkilerin bir yansıması olarak değerlendirilebilir.

The seminar addresses the complex and much discussed topic of the reception and use of memory in the Graeco-Roman world and in the societies of the ancient and late antique Near and Middle East.
The concept of "memory", first established by Maurice Halbwachs and - with a focus on antiquity - by Jan and Aleida Assmann, is a useful tool for analysis. The processes of memory, usually attributed to strictly individual mental faculties, can be socially determined: in ancient communities memory also enables identification, communication and the enactment of norms. The relationship between memory and the past is pivotal to the definition of identity processes of social groups. Therefore, it is a stimulating line of research in the field of community studies in the ancient world.

After the capture of Jerusalem, soon, nine knights, led by Hugues de Payens, decided to establish a military monastic order, the order of Knights Templars. In the beginning, the first aim of the order was the defense of pilgrims, but later its functions became wider. Soon after the establishment of the order, it became a tradition to grant Templars expensive gifts, king of Jerusalem, patriarch and European nobles believed that the material support of the order was their honorable responsibility. This support made possible for Templars to strengthen and enlarge their number. The order also received many privileges from the Pope. After receiving many privileges the order started to grow rich very soon. The order received wealth and properties all around Europe and the Middle East. As a result, the knights started to carry out financial operations. In the way of keeping money, Templars did gather their famous “treasure”, which is the main goal for some treasure seekers till our days. S...

Περίληψη
Βασικός σκοπός της έρευνας ήταν η διερεύνηση της αξιοποίησης των πολιτιστικών διαδρομών,
σε πόλεις και σε περιφέρειες της Ελλάδος και του εξωτερικού, ως μέσο για την βιώσιμη και
αειφόρο ανάπτυξη τους. Η μεθοδολογία που χρησιμοποιήθηκε ήταν η βιβλιογραφική
ανασκόπηση μέσα από την συλλογή δευτερογενών δεδομένων ερευνών που διεξήχθησαν στην
Ελλάδα και διεθνώς εστιάζοντας σε συγκεκριμένες περιπτώσεις. Τα δεδομένα που προέκυψαν
έδειξαν ότι οι πολιτιστικές διαδρομές αποτελούν ένα καινοτόμο μέσο για την ανάπτυξη των
πόλεων και των περιφερειών που μπορούν να αξιοποιηθούν με διαφορετικούς τρόπους.
Ειδικότερα, οι πολιτιστικές διαδρομές εστιάζουν στους πόρους που κάθε περίπτωση διαθέτει οι
οποίες συμβάλλουν στο να αποκτά υψηλή προστιθέμενη αξία ως τουριστικός προορισμός και να
δημιουργούν οφέλη τα οποία δεν είναι βραχυπρόθεσμα αλλά αντίθετα λειτουργούν
πολλαπλασιαστικά και θέτουν τις βάσεις για μία ανάπτυξη που είναι τόσο αειφόρος όσο και
βιώσιμη. Οι πολιτιστικές διαδρομές περιλαμβάνονταν διαφορετικούς πολιτιστικούς πόρους και
μπορούν να έχουν παραπάνω από μία μορφή, ακόμα και στον ίδιο προορισμό, με αποτέλεσμα
να μπορούν να προσελκύσουν διαφορετικές ομάδες επισκεπτών, ανάλογα με τα ενδιαφέροντα
τους. Αυτό με την σειρά του συνεπάγεται αναβάθμιση του κάθε προορισμού, δημιουργία ενός
ισχυρού brand name που διαφέρει από τα υπόλοιπα, και προϋποθέσεις για κοινωνική και
οικονομική ανάπτυξη. Οι πολιτιστικές διαδρομές συμβάλλουν στην ανάπτυξη της οικονομίας,
των συνεργειών, των υποδομών αλλά και της προσέλκυσης των επενδύσεων ενώ παράλληλα οι
πολιτιστικοί πόροι προστατεύονται και αναβαθμίζονται. Αυτό δείχνει ότι τα οφέλη που
προσφέρονται είναι πολλαπλά, μακροχρόνια και με την κατάλληλη διαχείριση τους μπορούν να
οδηγήσουν σε μία ανάπτυξη τους τουριστικούς προορισμούς η οποία δεν ήταν εφικτή με άλλα
μέσα.

The interpretation of the saving passion extends to the entire work of St. Chrysostom; it is not limited to the narration of events but to the search for the “hidden theological depth” contained in them and refers to issues related to the Holy Trinity and related “chapters”, that are connected and flow from the Cross of the Lord within the framework of the divine Economy.
The terms that constitute the esoteric vision of the Cross are taken from the Apostolic teaching of Paul, which he interprets. Following the Apostle Paul, responding to the hermeneutical issues raised by the heretics of his time, highlights at every given opportunity the dual nature of Christ, that is, His divine and human nature.

This study examines the process through which the Turkish community in Germany is stigmatized as a “permanantl foreigner” within the framework of Erving Goffman’s Stigma Theory. Goffman defines stigma as the negative marking of individuals who deviate from the norms of the local society or possess ethnic, religious, and cultural differences, with these differences being negatively signified and embodied in the social body. The study draws from extant social science literature that has examined the stigma resulting from ethnic and religious differences, particularly with regard to its instrumental role in relation to phenomena such as xenophobia, discrimination, integration, and adaptation. It argues that stigma plays a significant role in the negative definition of individual or social identities and that the discrediting and stigmatizing characteristics inherent in the concept of “foreigner” are largely embodied in the migrant, who represents the most disadvantaged group within foreign communities. In contemporary contexts, stigmas arising from ethnic and cultural differences, particularly among immigrants, often result in the condition of being a “perpetual foreigner.” Since the 1960s, the temporary labor migration from Turkey to Western Europe has evolved into a more permanent form of social migration, with Turks becoming one of the largest ethnic immigrant groups in Europe. This study posits that the Turkish community in Germany, as an immigrant group, is positioned as a “perpetual foreigner” by German society. In this context, the research seeks to understand and explain how the concept of “foreigner” is constructed as a stigma and how this stigma transforms into a lasting effect within the Turkish community. The study adopts an interpretive approach methodologically. The concept of perpetual foreignness is interpreted through a review of relevant literature, a conceptual analysis, and a content analysis of pertinent textual sources. The definition, sources, and production processes of stigma are examind, and it is concluded that the Turkish community in Germany is classified as a “perpetual foreigner” due to its ethnic, religious, and cultural differences, which carry inherent discrediting attributes, which is why they are stigmatized as “perpetual foreigners.”

Monasteries held a multifaceted role in Byzantine society, extending beyond their religious purpose to significant political, social, and economic functions. Monks were often regarded as trustworthy advisors in imperial circles, and large monasteries could shape public opinion and influence power dynamics due to their extensive networks and sizeable communities. A key social function of monasteries was their philanthropic outreach, notably through institutions like the adelphaton, where an individual would donate money or property in exchange for lifetime sustenance. This made monasteries attractive recipients of elite patronage, driven by spiritual motivations and political calculation, but also by the desire for lasting family commemoration. Elite families often maintained long-standing relationships with specific monasteries. In the Late Byzantine period, a growing divide between a dominant Constantinopolitan elite and a weaker provincial elite is evident. The former, closely tied to the imperial court, typically supported major monastic centers such as those on Mount Athos—particularly Lavra and Vatopedi—while the latter favored smaller, local monastic foundations. This pattern reflects broader socio-political dynamics, especially as the weakening Byzantine state prompted provincial elites to seek support from emerging powers, notably the Serbian empire. The Serbian rulers not only supported Chilandar Monastery but also used their influence to secure grants in strategic regions like Strymon. The role of the monk Callinicos—who acted both as a Serbian emissary and a figure in Byzantine politics—highlights how monastic diplomacy could serve broader geopolitical ambitions. Thus, monasteries were not just spiritual havens, but key agents in the interplay of politics, social welfare, and imperial strategy.

The Al-Hajar Mountains, spanning the Sultanate of Oman and the United Arab Emirates along the Sea of Oman, have hosted human settlement since prehistory. Over the past three decades, numerous archaeological sites have been investigated in this region. Findings from these sites reveal significant human impact on the landscape from the
Early Bronze Age to the Late Iron Age, evidenced by complex settlements and extensive burial grounds. This study synthesizes recent zooarchaeological data and presents the first exploratory osteometric analysis of sheep and goats from southeastern Arabia, the most abundant and extensively exploited terrestrial mammals in the region’s prehistoric record. By examining metrical data from key archaeological sites, this
paper assesses size variation patterns in these species through statistical evaluation. The study primarily focuses on documenting differences in bone size and shape, but also provides a foundation for future studies aimed at understanding broader aspects of animal management, environmental adaptation, and socio-economic dynamics among both inland communities along the Al-Hajar Mountains and fisherfolk on the
Arabian Sea coast.

The parabola of the camel and the needle ear indicates the impossibility of the rich to enter heaven as understood in Christian societies. Yet the rich has efficiently overcome the problem by financing the art and the church. This text will deal with some of the Eastern and Western examples of ktetorship by using historical method and iconography method where applicable. The modern example of this aspect in the work of John Baldessari's Camel Contemplating Needle (2013) proves the idea is timeless and requires several approaches and readings. The expected results lead towards conclusions on human intelligence and art in overcoming crucial moral dilemmas and social policy the Church put into practice to enable the rich to use their income to beautify the world and glorify God and the church. At the same time to ease their burden of not being admitted to Heaven and enlarge hope their sins will be no large obstacle if helping the society by helping the Church (religion, and its role to help people, improve their morality etc). Thus the rich through art has helped themselves become not forgotten, and beautified the lives of people, helped development of art, and architecture. Even though sinners, rich men devoted to God, had approached heaven through art, and through giving became not forgotten. Many people had benefited through royal or rich men donations to the church to help poor people and development of art, thus improving quality of live and their society. Rich Church has the power to help less fortunate, to enable their education, well being, to improve human dignity and ambitions.

Over the past three decades, a new wave of revisionist and interdisciplinary methodologies, ranging from gender and global history to medievalism and the history of emotions, have broadened our epistemological horizons, creating innovative avenues of enquiry. By exploring the complex and much-studied topic of Christian-Muslim relations through the changing lens of methodologies, this conference aims to foster an interdisciplinary debate that, through comparison and collaboration between scholars from different fields, bridges rigid geographical and temporal frameworks.
