Leiden/Boston: Brill, 2021. Pp. xvii + 630. ISBN: 978-9004339903. This sizable volume is a daring venture and is wisely entitled \"A Companion to Byzantine Iconoclasm.\" Although it assembles many of the most established scholars on the topic, it does not claim to be \"The Companion to Byzantine Iconoclasm,\" as the editor of the volume concedes in his preface. The reason for the impossibility of compiling \"The Companion to Byzantine Iconoclasm\" lies in the nature of its subject: there are few other topics which have gained more attention and critical debate in early medieval history, church history, and Byzantine Studies than the period of Byzantine iconoclasm. Due to the groundbreaking research of older scholarship, the mainly iconophile sources have been thoroughly deconstructed to their interpolated extent, which has profoundly undermined the narrative of iconoclasm as predominantly violent action against images. Concerning the degree of the extensive examination of iconoclasm, Avril Cameron recognized \"a subject which … has been done to death\" (Cameron 1992). The result is that every scholar who gets involved into the case of iconoclasm is walking on thin ice due to the unreliability of the textual and material evidence. As significant as the deconstruction of the iconophile sources was for the scholarly debate, it creates a dilemma for further research: staying caught in the web of historical revisionism, which is in danger to become redundant, or putting the pieces together to (re)produce a narrative of Byzantine Iconoclasm, which will always be fragmentary (60). It is refreshing that Mike Humphreys' introduction addresses the problem of revisionism (\"a wave of revisionist scholarship,\" 4) in the study of Byzantine Iconoclasm right at the beginning of the volume. This is an elegant acknowledgement that dilemma just described eventually will (or should) not be solved but is part of the subject of the history of iconoclasm itself. Intended to be a companion to address \"both newcomers and specialists\" (vii), the introduction gives an overview of the principal parameters on which the historical construction of Byzantine Iconoclasm is based. After an in-depth outline in the introduction, the volume starts with the period and the role of images before iconoclasm (Part I), following a recent line of research which understands especially the seventh century not only as a time of deep crisis but as a decisive transformation period between Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. Robin Jensen addresses the fact that for theological texts before the sixth century, the multi-present Christian imagery was a negligible subject, indicating that Christian art in general was not regarded as questionable (141).

To do so, it examines how the anonymous author situates events in the Chronicle against historical and theological precedent from the book of Isaiah, through both implicit allusions and explicit references. It suggests that the creation of this inter-text between the Chronicle and the book of Isaiah was intended to function as both a model of and model for the harmonization of local history with the much larger trajectories of salvation history and the history of the late Roman empire. It argues, therefore, that the Chronicle represents one of the many ways in which late antique Syriac writers negotiated not only their place in the late Roman empire but also their place in contemporary Roman literary discourses. As a result, its ultimate contention is that the Chronicle is an example of the trend of \"theological Roman patriotism\" found in other historiographical texts written in Greek and Latin from the eastern empire in the sixth century.","PeriodicalId":16220,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Late Antiquity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135298410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moment of Reckoning: Imagined Death and its Consequences in Late Ancient Christianity by Ellen Muehlberger (review) 《清算时刻:晚期古代基督教想象中的死亡及其后果》艾伦·米尔伯格著

Bruce Moment of Reckoning: Imagined Death and its Consequences in Late Ancient Christianity Ellen Muehlberger Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2019. Pp. xiii + 245. ISBN: 978-0190459161. Building on the work of Éric Rebillard, Brian E. Daley, and other laborers in the field of death rituals in Late Antiquity, Ellen Muehlberger invites us to consider how Christian preachers in the fourth and fifth centuries encouraged their congregations to imagine and reflect upon the experience of their eventual death and how they freighted this occasion with a moral weight by presenting it as a moment of evaluation, as a \"pitched event—stark, frightening, and a time when a summary judgment of a person's actions throughout life would be rendered\" (10). Already in the early fourth century, Christian authors depicted the deathbed scenes of famous men as barometers of the quality of their lives (Chapter 1). Eusebius represented Constantine as dying \"serenely and undisturbed\" (38) as a reflection of his faithfulness, while emperors like Galerius who opposed Christianity suffered terrible ends by divine retribution. Likewise, heretics such as Arius allegedly died by disembowelment in the manner of Judas. In each of these stories, the way in which someone died revealed something about their character. This concern for death as a moment that laid bare an individual's moral standing attacted the notice of preachers addressing generic Christians in the decades around 400 (Chapter 2). From North Africa to Egypt to Syria, Muehlberger finds a widespread interest in presenting the future deaths of congregants in vivid and realistic detail in sermons by Augustine of Hippo, Jacob of Serugh, Cyril of Alexandria, and Shenoute of Atripe. In each case, these preachers recounted the experience of death from the point of view of the person dying and thereby taught their audiences about death \"by inducing them to create an experience of it that they can imagine to be their own\" (91). The goal of this attention to everyone's inevitable, frightening end was didactic. It forced the listener to consider the following questions: what will I come to regret about the way I have lived at the moment of my death? And how can I avoid that regret by living differently in the time I have left? Muehlberger argues that these preachers applied rhetorical techniques—in particular, prosopopoiea or \"speech in character\"—to convey this moral imperative to their audiences (Chapter 3). Their techiques for vividly evoking the final moments of their congregants' lives drew directly on their rhetorical training in writing speeches in the voices of historical characters in tragic situations. When they applied these skills in their sermons, their achievement was nothing less than the introduction of \"a [End Page 557] new mode of ethical self-evaluation—a practical exercise of the ima","PeriodicalId":16220,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Late Antiquity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135300064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The book under review investigates the funerary landscape of a small region at the southern Taurus slopes in detail by combining a precise discussion of archaeological remains with its epigraphical context. It is a revision of the author's 2018 PhD thesis at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. It was written under the auspices of Stephan Westphalen, and in the contexts of the DFG-funded Sonderforschungsbereich (SFB) 933 \"Materiale Textkulturen.\" The book's title translates roughly as \"The Sepulchral Culture of Rough Cilicia at the End of Antiquity: Funerary Archaeology and Epigraphy of a Late Antique Landscape.\" Essentially, the author, a Byzantine archaeologist by training, analyzes how the \"funerary habit\" develops in the imperial period and Late Antiquity (7). \"Funerary habit\" is defined by the author as the way in which graves were designed, ornamented, placed, and inscribed. Geographically, the study focuses on the eastern part of what is known as Rough Cilicia: the borderlands of the provinces of Cilicia (prima) and Isauria, the so-called Olbian highlands, named after the god Zeus Olbios who was venerated here in his temple for ages. The necropoleis of seven towns and villages are analyzed: the coastal cities (Elaiussa Sebaste, Korykos, also Korasion), smaller villages in between the steep gorges of the hinterland (Kanytelleis, Karakabaklı together with Işıkkale), and a major city in the highlands, Diokaisareia at an altitude of almost 1,200 meters. The book is divided into six main chapters. After some preliminary remarks (and a prepended English summary, xiii–xvii) the aforementioned towns and villages are introduced one by one (chapter 2: \"Case studies\"). The remarks on each location's history of research, settlement, necropol(e)is, and inscriptions result in the longest chapter of the book. Chapter 3 (\"Epigraphical analysis\") is based on an unpublished database consisting of all known funerary inscriptions and stemming from the area between the rivers Lamos and Kalykadnos (that is, not only from the mentioned localities; 74). Of the 884 funerary inscriptions, only two were written in Latin. After a short discussion of the palaeographic and linguistic issues, the inscriptions are analyzed in several regards, inter alia onomastic, legal,1 occupational (Appendix 2, 197–214, gives a complete list of [End Page 555] ","PeriodicalId":16220,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Late Antiquity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135346601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet concurrent with this transformation, Dura's Christians also paved over their house's cistern, located in the adjacent courtyard. Thus, as the Durene Christian community was installing a baptismal basin—a feature which required water—these Christians enigmatically removed the most convenient means by which they could have secured water to fill that basin. The following study aims to reconstruct how the Christians of Dura procured water for use in their baptismal rite and to examine why these Christians might have removed access to their cistern while simultaneously installing a baptismal basin. Recent scholarship on Dura has provided a sound footing for this examination by allowing the use of water at Dura to be reconstructed with substantial clarity. Examining the Christian building's transformation in light of this scholarship allows the Durene Christians' rejection of cistern water for use in their ritual of baptism to be situated comfortably within documented early Christian preferences to baptize in naturally-flowing waters.","PeriodicalId":16220,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Late Antiquity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135297937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jews and Their Roman Rivals: Pagan Rome's Challenge to Israel by Katell Berthelot (review) 犹太人和他们的罗马对手:异教徒罗马对以色列的挑战,卡特尔·贝特洛特著(评论)

Pp. 552. ISBN: 978-0-691-19929-0. Jews and their Roman Rivals: Pagan Rome's Challenge to Israel is a brilliant work of meticulous scholarship that explains central features of late antique Jewish culture (both pre-rabbinic and rabbinic) as a response to the unique challenge that the pagan Roman Empire posed to the self-concept and ideology of Israel. Katell Berthelot marshals an exhaustive array of evidence—Roman, Jewish and early Christian writings, but also papyri, coins, inscriptions, and archaeological artifacts—in support of her central claims. The writing is pellucid. The engagement with other scholarship is comprehensive, collegial, and admirably generous; and even when offering a corrective to a previous scholar's hypothesis, the author makes her case synergistically rather than agonistically. The book is an absolute pleasure to read. In the Introduction, Berthelot articulates two of the book's important interventions. First, she asserts (and will proceed to demonstrate) that rabbinic literature's engagement with Rome does not center primarily on Christian Rome and its supersessionist threat—as argued by Neusner (169) and widely assumed—but rather pagan Rome (8). Indeed, for nearly six centuries (from the second century bce to the fourth century ce, the time frame covered by the book), Jews encountered Rome as a pagan power. As a consequence, Jewish modes of response to Rome were well established long before the Christianization of the empire—a simple but often overlooked fact that underwrites the author's insistence on a thorough re-consideration of the impact of pagan imperial ideology, policy, and practice on Israel. Second, Berthelot cuts through the tiresome and muddled debate over the \"Romanness\" of the Jews, and especially the rabbinic class and its halakhic project, a debate often marred by simplistic notions of (passive) influence or (active) resistance as the two primary paradigms for imagining cultural encounter. Against the first, she notes that there is no such thing as passive influence; the transfer of cultural elements from one context to another context always entails an active and creative dynamic (25). Against the second, she follows Seth Schwartz and others in noting that rabbinic rhetoric (often separatist and rejectionist) should not be confused with rabbinic reality (which clearly attests to various degrees of accommodation and imitation, even when subversive; 24). Instead of speaking of \"influence,\" she employs the term \"impact\" to capture Rome's role as the trigger, or catalyst, for a wide array of responses including: adhesion, [End Page 561] collaboration, accommodation, adaptation, integration, acculturation, imitation with differentiation, mimesis, mimicry (which is mimesis o","PeriodicalId":16220,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Late Antiquity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135298411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Barry’s assertion that Tertullian was seen as a problematic author precisely because he had cast flight (during persecution) in a negative light does therefore require further demonstration (176).

Huebner This issue was produced in part under the aegis of my predecessor, Professor Andrew Cain, who steered the ship expertly over the past five years, and I cannot thank him enough for his generous and patient introduction to the complex business of being editor-in-chief. I am also delighted to have gathered around me a stellar editorial board that will support this journal in the years ahead. The Journal of Late Antiquity is composed of veteran editors, as well as younger members in our field, whose expertise covers a wide variety of areas, regions, and topics of the discipline. I feel very honored to be following in the footsteps of Ralph W. Mathisen, Noel Lenski, and most recently Andy Cain, and hope to do the journal justice in the years to come. The Journal of Late Antiquity, which has already won several awards in its fifteen-year history, will continue to encourage cutting-edge and interdisciplinary research on all methodological, geographical, and chronological facets of Late Antiquity, defined roughly as the period from ca. 250–800 ad. The entire field of late antique studies will be represented—bridging disciplines and late antique peoples from the late Roman, western European, Byzantine, Sassanid, and early Islamic worlds and their direct exchanges with their respective neighboring peoples and trading partners, without slipping into the arbitrariness of a thematic global setting. This cross-disciplinary cooperation in ancient studies has become a matter of course over the past few decades: from my first days as a student, I myself worked in supra-departmental interdisciplinary research networks that, in addition to the traditional text- and material-based subjects of classical studies—such as ancient history, classical philology, Egyptology, archaeology—had also already included Arabic studies, Jewish studies, art history, ethnology, law, and comparative religious studies. My doctoral studies in the interdisciplinary doctoral program in Jena on \"Leitbilder der Spätantike,\" my postdoctoral work at, amongst other institutions, the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW), and currently as head of the Department of Ancient Civilizations at the University of Basel, have shaped my impression of late antique studies in its widest sense. Although appearing small in scope, late antique studies encompasses the cosmos of the university (universitas), pioneering the possibilities of interdisciplinarity and the challenges and opportunities of true consilience. My goal is to further the Journal of Late Antiquity's heartfelt mission of an all-encompassing, multidisciplinary treatment of Late Antiquity in all its multiregional and multilingual facets, while also affording a wide scope to new trends, particularly, collaborative opportunities with the natural sciences.
