Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dozens of holy names appeared on a map since people started caring about saints and their cults in late antiquity until the high Middle Ages. Some had long-lasting and significant cults that transpired cultures, languages, and continents. Others did not. When a need appeared to organize saints in a systematic order as their numbers grew, more prominent saints tended to force out "less known" saints. What has happened, due to this, with the hagiographies of those "lesser" saints? What has happened with their cults? This book discusses a "lesser" saint, Irenaeus, who suffered martyrdom in 304 CE in Sirmium, Pannonia. His short-lived late antique cult in Sirmium, the unstable feast day in calendars, and an anonymous text about his martyrdom, translated into five languages (Latin, Greek, Old Slavonic, Georgian, and Armenian), did not help maintain his memory. The saint was eventually abandoned in the Middle Ages, yet, in some parts of Christendom faster than in others. The book examines the mechanisms of saintly memory and forgetting and demonstrates that the unsynchronized links among cults, calendars, and texts about saints lead to their suppression and forgetting; from "lesser," saints ultimately become "forgotten." The book is primarily intended for academic audiences and specialists in medieval hagiography, literature, and history, for scholars of the Western Middle Ages, Byzantium, and the Slavic world, as well as general readers attentive to the phenomenon of sainthood and martyrdom, particularly in specific medieval contexts"--
Book Synopsis From Mass Conversion to Expulsion by : Nadia Zeldes
Download or read book From Mass Conversion to Expulsion written by Nadia Zeldes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the events that marked the last decades of Jewish presence in the kingdom of Naples from 1492 to 1541. It employs a comparative approach in the examination of the mass conversion of the Jews in the Kingdom of Naples in 1495, the failed attempt to establish a Spanish‐style inquisition, and the expulsions of 1510 and 1541. By relying on a variety of sources, including Hebrew literary works and rabbinic Responsa, this study sheds new light on the reception of the refugees of 1492, the evolvement of the political and military crisis of 1495, the attacks on the Jewish communities, and Jewish reaction, all aspects that have never before been subject to systematic analysis. The Spanish victory of 1503 and the transformation of southern Italy into a Spanish‐ruled dominion bring this discussion closer to the Iberian model of mass conversions and expulsions. The unprecedented expulsion of the New Christians along with the Jews offers a unique opportunity for drawing a parallel with the much later expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain. By highlighting these aspects, this book offers insights for understanding the larger issues of the integration of refugees and rejection of minority groups, questions that are as relevant to present concerns and politics as they were on the eve of the modern era.
Book Synopsis Pannonia and Upper Moesia (Routledge Revivals) by : András Mócsy
Download or read book Pannonia and Upper Moesia (Routledge Revivals) written by András Mócsy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Pannonia and Upper Moesia, first published 1974, András Mócsy surveys the Middle Danube Provinces from the latest pre-Roman Iron Age up to the beginning of the Great Migrations. His primary concern is to develop a general synthesis of the archaeological and historical researches in the Danube Basin, which lead to a more detailed knowledge of the Roman culture of the area. The economic and social development, town and country life, culture and religion in the Provinces are all investigated, and the local background of the so-called Illyrian Predominance during the third century crisis of the Roman Empire is explained, as is the eventual breakdown of Danubian Romanisation. This volume will appeal to students and teachers of archaeology alike, as well as to those interested in the Roman Empire – not only the history of Rome itself, but also of the far-flung areas which together comprised the Empire’s frontier for centuries.

First published in 1978, the Oxford Dictionary of Saints offers more than 1,700 fascinating and informative entries covering the lives, cults, and artistic associations of saints from around the world, from the famous to the obscure, the rich to the poor, and the academic to the uneducated. From all walks of life and from all periods of history and from around the world, the wide varieties of personalities and achievements of the canonized are reflected. An updated introduction explains the steps towards becoming a saint, the processes of beatification and canonization. This revised fifth edition includes appendices containing five maps of pilgrimage sites, a list of saints' patronages and iconographical emblems, and a calendar of principal feasts, as well as a new appendix on pilgrimages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tracing the astonishing transformation that the early Christian church underwent - from sporadic niches of Christian communities surviving in the wake of a horrific crucifixion to sanctioned alliance with the state - Charles Freeman shows how freedom of thought was curtailed by the development of the concept of faith. The imposition of 'correct belief' and an institutional framework that enforced orthodoxy were both consolidating and stifling. Uncovering the church's relationships with Judaism, Gnosticism, Greek philosophy and Greco-Roman society, Freeman offers dramatic new accounts of Paul, the resurrection, and the church fathers and emperors."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis "He Descended to the Dead" by : Matthew Y. Emerson
Download or read book "He Descended to the Dead" written by Matthew Y. Emerson and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2019-12-24 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity Today Book Award The Gospel Coalition Book Award "I believe he descended to the dead." The descent of Jesus Christ to the dead has been a fundamental tenet of the Christian faith, as indicated by its inclusion in both the Apostles' and Athanasian Creeds. Falling between remembrance of Christ's death on Good Friday and of his resurrection on Easter Sunday, this affirmation has been a cause for Christian worship and reflection on Holy Saturday through the centuries. At the same time, the descent has been the subject of suspicion and scrutiny, perhaps especially from evangelicals, some of whom do not find support for it within Scripture and have even called for it to be excised from the creeds. Against this conflicted landscape, Matthew Emerson offers an exploration of the biblical, historical, theological, and practical implications of the descent. Led by the mystery and wonder of Holy Saturday, he encourages those who profess faith in Christ to consider the whole work of our Savior.
Download or read book The Ancient Paths written by Graham Robb and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graham Robb's The Ancient Paths will change the way you see European civilization. Inspired by a chance discovery, Robb became fascinated with the world of the Celts: their gods, their art, and, most of all, their sophisticated knowledge of science. His investigations gradually revealed something extraordinary: a lost map, of an empire constructed with precision and beauty across vast tracts of Europe. The map had been forgotten for almost two millennia and its implications were astonishing. Minutely researched and rich in revelations, The Ancient Paths brings to life centuries of our distant history and reinterprets pre-Roman Europe. Told with all of Robb's grace and verve, it is a dazzling, unforgettable book.
