Russian Icons And American Money, 1928-1938, Wendy Salmond
Russian Icons And American Money, 1928-1938, Wendy Salmond
Art Faculty Articles and Research
The article explores the marketing tactics and consumer expectations with regards to icons released in the street markets and provincial cities of Soviet Russia and acquired by American collectors from 1928-1938. These icons, including those from Byzantium in the tenth century, were seen as cultural commodities during the Russian revolution and the subsequent socialist construction. The Soviet apparatus Antikvariat was tasked with appraising the icon collections held by the Gosmuzeifond or the State Museum Reserve for exports.
Book Review: Living Together, Living Apart: Rethinking Jewish-Christian Relations In The Middle Ages, Stephen G. Burnett
Book Review: Living Together, Living Apart: Rethinking Jewish-Christian Relations In The Middle Ages, Stephen G. Burnett
Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications
The theme of Jonathan Elukin’s elegant and well-argued book is Jewish-Christian coexistence in medieval Europe—how was it possible given Christian prejudice and anti-Jewish violence? Older medieval Jewish history stressed the themes of “scholars and suffering,” embodying what the late Salo Baron termed a “lachrymose” view of Jewish history. In recent years historians have stressed how medieval Europe became a “persecuting society,” following the work of R. I. Moore, The Formation of a Persecuting Society (1987), and David Nirenberg, Communities of Violence (1996). Elukin argues for a different approach to medieval Jewish experience, eschewing a “one-dimensional narrative of victimization” (p. 4) …
Review Of Duckworth Companions To Greek And Roman Tragedy, Anne Duncan
Review Of Duckworth Companions To Greek And Roman Tragedy, Anne Duncan
Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications
Duckworth's series, 'Companions to Greek and Roman Tragedy', is an excellent resource for students as well as for their teachers. The overall quality of the volumes in the series is high. Many of the volumes, in addition to being valuable textbooks, offer much to interest scholars. On the whole, the volumes in the series are written in clear, accessible prose, with technical and theoretical terms defined. They are a suitable length (generally around 130 pages of text) for use alongside either a translation of the given play or the play's text in Greek. Most volumes begin with a chapter on …
Jüdische Vermittler Des Hebräischen Und Ihre Christlichen Schüler Im Spätmittelalter, Stephen G. Burnett
Jüdische Vermittler Des Hebräischen Und Ihre Christlichen Schüler Im Spätmittelalter, Stephen G. Burnett
Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications
Bruder Konrad Pellikan, ein Franziskanermönch, war das heroische Beispiel eines christlichen Autodidakten der hebräischen Sprache. Im Jahre 1499 fing er sein Studium des Hebräischen auf der Basis seiner Analyse des hebräischen Bibeltextes mit einer wortwörtlichen lateinischen Übersetzung der späteren Prophetenbücher und auch mit den transkribierten Versen von Jesajas, die sich in Petrus Nigris Stella Messiae befanden, an. Im Juli des folgenden Jahres hatte er bei einem Besuch in Tübingen von Reuchlin eine Erklärung der Nennform (Infinitiv) des Verbs bekommen. Im August besuchte er den Ulmer Priester Johannes Böhm. Dieser stellte ihm zwei handschriftliche Fragmente von Moses Kimhis Grammatik zur Verfügung, …
Plato's Crito: A Deontological Reading, Lisa Sklar
Plato's Crito: A Deontological Reading, Lisa Sklar
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Plato's 'Crito' depicts Socrates in prison awaiting his execution and arguing that despite the injustice of his sentence, he is morally obligated to remain there so that it can be carried out. The early Socratic dialogues were concerned with the nature of the virtues which formed the foundation of Athenian morals. This "primacy of virtue" has developed into the modern theory of virtue ethics. In this thesis, I argue that in the 'Crito', Socrates sets aside his typical virtue ethics approach, and instead utilizes a deontological framework for his arguments. I apply the deontological theories of Immanuel Kant and W. …
Appendix K: Trireme Warfare In Xenophon’S Hellenika, Nicolle E. Hirschfeld
Appendix K: Trireme Warfare In Xenophon’S Hellenika, Nicolle E. Hirschfeld
Classical Studies Faculty Research
The disaster at Syracuse (415-413) marked the effective end of Athenian naval supremacy. She would rebuild her fleets and continue to be a force, but Xenophon's account of the following half century tells of a hard-fought struggle among many contenders to dominate the Aegean Sea. Although in the ancient Mediterranean world geography and tradition favored islands and coastal cities as emergent sea powers, dominance could not be achieved without also having access to the vital resources of timber, manpower, and plenty of revenue. Thus the Persian king Artaxerxes and Jason of Pherai posed alarming threats to the traditional masters of …
The Many Ways Between Late Bronze Age Aegeans And Levants, Nicolle E. Hirschfeld
The Many Ways Between Late Bronze Age Aegeans And Levants, Nicolle E. Hirschfeld
Classical Studies Faculty Research
Interactions between the "Aegean" and "Levant" cannot be discussed in monolithic terms. The physical realities of sea travel, the vocabulary and accounts preserved in texts, and the objects found in foreign earth and under the seas point to many routes among the diverse communities that inhabited the eastern Mediterranean littoral in the Late Bronze Age, and give hints of the different peoples forging the connections. They interacted in a multiplicity of ways, their relationships shifting through time. Focusing in on the specifics of interactions reveals complexities that should be the basis for alternative ways of classifying interactions across the Aegean …
The Hero Beyond Himself: Heroic Death In Ancient Greek Poetry And Art, Corinne Ondine Pache
The Hero Beyond Himself: Heroic Death In Ancient Greek Poetry And Art, Corinne Ondine Pache
Classical Studies Faculty Research
The modern mind likes its heroism served with death. "They died heroes" begin news reports of death in battles and disasters, man-made or natural. Altruism, self-sacrifice, and disregard for danger define the modern hero, both in life and in death. Sometimes heroes are defined by the fact of their survival: war heroes return home after enduring the trauma of battle, captivity, or torture. Regardless of individual circumstances, to be a modern hero entails joining a community of individuals defined by the same essential qualities of selflessness and courage: to be a hero is to be willing to sacrifice oneself and …
Historical Fiction, Brachylogy, And Plutarch's Banquet Of The Seven Sages, Lawrence Kim
Historical Fiction, Brachylogy, And Plutarch's Banquet Of The Seven Sages, Lawrence Kim
Classical Studies Faculty Research
In this paper I examine the ways in which the weaknesses and strengths of Plutarch’s Banquet of the Seven Sages are tied to Plutarch’s attempt to recreate the world of the sixth century BCE in fictional form. The awkwardness of the first half of the dialogue stems from the incommensurability between the symposiastic genre of the Banquet and the Sages’ role as ‘performers of wisdom’ and their noted brevity of speech, or brachulogia. It is only when Plutarch stops trying to historicize in the second half of the dialogue (and shifts his focus away from the Sages altogether) that …
Greek And Pre-Greek Oath : The Importance Of Styx, Marianina Demetri Olcott
Greek And Pre-Greek Oath : The Importance Of Styx, Marianina Demetri Olcott
Faculty Publications
This paper seeks to prove that in pre-Greek oaths and truth-tests , liturgy associated with this religious stratum did not have libations as the primary ritual feature. Rather, from an examination of a variety of textual sources we uncover evidence not only that Styx and Demeter are aspects of the same pre- Greek female deity but also that pre-Greek oaths may have been associated with certain stones rather than merely libations.
Papyrology On The Threshold Of A New Millennium, James G. Keenan
Papyrology On The Threshold Of A New Millennium, James G. Keenan
Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Papyrologists have met internationally as a group since 1930. Following various complications, including a meeting planned for Vienna for 1939 but never held and, of course, the devastating intrusion of World War II, a custom of triennial meetings was established. Recent meetings have been larger than the early ones, with more participants, more papers, and correspondingly bigger proceedings (cf. BASP 39 [2002] 213-227 on the 1998 congress in Florence). At Vienna in 2001 there were 281 registered participants. The program featured nine specially invited keynote speeches, 126 standard-length papers, and three workshops (with fourteen workshop presenters in all).

Religious Tourism In Roman Greece, David James Stark
Religious Tourism In Roman Greece, David James Stark
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
In recent years, Roman travel and tourism has become a focus of scholarship. Most of the scholarship however has focused either on religious travel through studies of pilgrimage or on secular travel through studies of tourism. Many tourism scholars however have begun to recognize that the differences between what is a tourist and what is a pilgrim is not as large as was once thought. These scholars have coined a new term, the religious tourist, to describe those travelers who seem to bridge the gap between the traditional definition of a pilgrim and the traditional definition of a tourist. Through …
