Ένα δαχτυλίδι 2000 χρόνων / A 2000-year-old ring

Το χάλκινο δακτυλίδι με τον ημιπολύτιμο λίθο (Φωτο: Haaretz)

Ένα χάλκινο δακτυλίδι που μάλλον παράπεσε ή ξεχάστηκε σε ένα mikvah της Ιερουσαλήμ ήρθε στο φως κατά την ανασκαφή ενός αρχαίου δρόμου που οδηγούσε στο Ναό. Το κτίριο στην άκρη του δρόμου όπου βρέθηκε το χάλκινο δακτυλίδι με τον ημιπολύτιμο λίθο, πρέπει να ήταν ένα από τα πολλά mikveh που εξυπηρετούσαν τους προσκυνητές που επισκέπτονταν καθημερινά τον Ναό.  Ο δρόμος οδηγούσε από την Κολυμβήθρα του Σιλωάμ στο Ναό και φαίνεται πως ήταν η κεντρική οδός που οδηγούσε τους προσκυνητές στο Ναό. Χρονολογείται στην εποχή του Δεύτερου Ναού. Σύμφωνα με τους αρχαιολόγους το εύρημα προέρχεται από τα τελευταία χρόνια της ειρήνης, όταν ήταν ακόμη ασφαλές για τους προσκυνητές να επισκέπτονται τον Ναό. Ο δρόμος Οι ανασκαφές στην περιοχή νότια του Ναού έχουν φέρει στο φως κι άλλα σημαντικά ευρήματα που χρονολογούνται στην ελληνιστική, ρωμαϊκή και βυζαντινή περίοδο.

Η επιγραφή της Ναζαρέτ: το παρασκήνιο μίας αινιγματικής επιγραφής / The Nazareth Inscription: the background of an enigmatic inscription

Η επιγραφή της Ναζαρέτ (Φωτο: ΒibleArchaeology)

H λεγόμενη "επιγραφή της Ναζαρέτ", η ελληνική μετάφραση ενός αυτοκρατορικού διατάγματος σχετικά με τη βεβήλωση των τάφων και των νεκρών εξακολουθεί να είναι ένα μεγάλο αίνιγμα για τους ειδικούς. Μας λείπουν οι ακριβείς πληροφορίες για τον αρχικό τόπο εύρεσης κι η χρονολόγησή της εξακολουθεί να είναι αντικείμενο συζήτησης. Κατά συνέπεια, η πιθανή σύνδεσή της με τους πρώτους χριστιανούς και το κήρυγμα της Ανάστασης είναι κάτι που παραμένει αναπάντητο. Για όλα αυτά έγραψα πριν πολλά χρόνια σε μία ανασκόπηση της μέχρι τότε έρευνας (E. Tsalampouni, "The Nazareth Inscription: A Controversial Piece of Palestinian Epigraphy (1930-1999)," TEKMERIA 6 (2001): 70-122).

Στο ηλεκτρονικό περιοδικό Los Angeles Review of Books o Kyle Harper (Πανεπιστήμιο της Oklahoma) δημοσιεύει ένα σύντομο αλλά εξαιρετικά ενδιαφέρον κείμενο για την επιγραφή της Ναζαρέτ και την πιθανή διαδρομή της μέχρι την συλλογή του Wilhelm Foehner. Ο Harper παρουσιάζει άγνωστες πτυχές αυτής της ιστορίας, αλλά ταυτόχρονα σημειώνει τις δυσκολίες και τις προκλήσεις που έχει να αντιμετωπίσει η επιγραφική στην προσπάθειά της να ερμηνεύσει τα κείμενα των επιγραφών:

Duncan Cameron, "Towards a re-dating of Pompey’s conquest of Jerusalem," 225-247

The date of Pompey’s conquest of Jerusalem is examined in light of the accounts of Josephus, contemporary hints found in Cicero, and the narratives of other ancient chroniclers. It is established that word of Pompey’s victory in the East was received in Rome during the first half of 63 BCE and that the conclusion of the siege necessarily preceded this. Evidence for a fall victory is presented, which strongly suggests that Pompey’s siege ended in 64 BCE. Pompey’s organization of the eastern provinces is considered as further evidence that his time in Syria was briefer than is typically maintained.

Matthew C. Pawlak, "A desperate romantic gesture: sexuality and slavery in ‘Joseph and Aseneth’," 248-255

Joseph and Aseneth contains two scenes in which its protagonist, Aseneth, prays that God would allow her to become Joseph’s slave, and another instance where she appears to adopt this role by washing his feet (see 6.8; 13.15; 20.1–4). Recent scholarship has done much to demonstrate the utility of exploring Joseph and Aseneth in light of other ancient novels. However, analyses of Aseneth’s desire for servitude have not typically made use of this larger corpus, but have instead focused primarily on the gendered power dynamics operative in the text. This study seeks to understand Aseneth’s petitions for servitude in conversation with numerous parallels ranging across the extant body of ancient novels. These parallels suggest that Aseneth’s desire to become a slave is a stock expression of erotic longing, a desperate romantic gesture typical of characters, across diverse gender relationships, who find a major obstacle between themselves and their beloved. 

Pieter W. van der Horst, "Philosabbatius, a forgotten early Jewish philosopher," 256-261

In his Panarion (51.8.1), the fourth-century bishop Epiphanius mentions three ‘Greek philosophers’ who criticized the New Testament, namely Porphyry, Celsus and Philosabbatius. The last he also calls ‘a snake of Jewish stock’. Apparently this Philosabbatius was a Jew who wrote philosophical works in Greek, like Philo. His writings are lost, but Epiphanius states that Philosabbatius, like Celsus and Porphyry, heavily criticized the Gospels. His relationship with Celsus’ Jew (see Origen, Contra Celsum, books 1 and 2) is examined here. This overlooked Jewish philosopher deserves a place in works on the history of ancient Judaism.

Ευάγγελος Θεοδώρου (1921-2018)

Εκοιμήθη ο ομότιμος καθηγητής των Θεολογικών Σχολών Θεσσαλονίκης και Αθηνών Ευάγγελος Θεοδώρου. Ο καθηγητής Θεοδώρου γεννήθηκε στο Αϊδίνιο το 1921, σπούδασε Θεολογία στην Θεολογική Αθηνών (1938-1943) και συνέχισε με μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές στο Marburg (1952-1953). Το 1954 αναγορεύτηκε διδάκτορας στη Θεολογική Σχολή Αθηνών και το 1959 εξελέγη υφηγητής στην ίδια Σχολή στην έδρα της Πρακτικής Θεολογίας. Δίδαξε ως τακτικός καθηγητής της Ομιλητικής και της Λειτουργικής στην Θεολογική Σχολή Θεσσαλονίκης (1961-1968) και στη συνέχεια ως τακτικός καθηγητής της Πρακτικής Θεολογίας στην Θεολογική Αθηνών (1969-1988). Δίδαξε σε διάφορα φροντιστήρια και σχολές και διετέλεσε κοσμήτορας των Θεολογικών Σχολών Θεσσαλονίκης και Αθηνών, αντιπρύτανης και πρύτανης του Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών. Υπήρξε διευθυντής των περιοδικών Θεολογία, Εκκλησία και Εφημέριος. Ως η μεγαλύτερη συμβολή του θεωρείται το πρωτοπόρο και τολμηρό έργο του για την επανεργοποίηση του θεσμού των διακονισσών στην Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία, ενός θεσμού, ο οποίος ποτέ δεν καταργήθηκε, αλλά παραμένει ανενεργός εδώ και αιώνες. Όσοι τον γνωρίσαμε θυμόμαστε το πάθος και το νεανικό ενθουσιασμό με τον οποίο μιλούσε για το θέμα ακόμη και στα βαθιά γεράματά του. Ας είναι αιωνία η μνήμη του!

Damnatio memoriae: μνήμη και λήθη / Damnatio memoriae: remembering and forgetting

Η Francesca Tronchin δημοσιεύει ένα πολύ κατατοπιστικό άρθρο για τον τρόπο που εφαρμοζόταν η damnatio memoriae στον αρχαίο κόσμο:

Damnatio memoriae—Roman sanctions against memory

[Α.Τ.: Θα πρέπει να σημειώσω, ωστόσο, ότι η damnatio memoriae στον αρχαίο κόσμο δε σημαίνει υποχρεωτικά την εξαφάνιση της μνήμης κάποιου αλλά μάλλον την αμαύρωσή της. Με άλλα λόγια, σκοπός ήταν κατά κάποιον τρόπο η λήθη διά της μνήμης. Αυτό εξηγεί γιατί στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις δεν γίνεται κάποια προσπάθεια επεξεργασίας των μνημείων ώστε να μην υπάρχουν τα ίχνη του προηγούμενου προσώπου ή της προσπάθειας εξαφάνισής τους. Έτσι όσοι τα βλέπουν είναι σε θέση να διαπιστώσουν την παρέμβαση και να θυμηθούν γιατί αυτή έγινε και ποιος ήταν το θύμα της. Η damnatio memoriae έχει ιδιαίτερη κοινωνική σημασία και συνδέεται με την κατασκευή της κοινής ταυτότητας των μελών της αρχαίας κοινωνίας (σε τοπικό επίπεδο ή στο επίπεδο της αυτοκρατορίας). Επομένως, δεν είναι απόλυτα ακριβές να αντιμετωπίζεται ως βαρβαρότητα. Όπως θα ήταν επίσης ιστορικός αναχρονισμός να συγκριθούν οι πρακτικές του ρωμαϊκού κόσμου με εκείνες σε νεότερα απολυταρχικά καθεστώτα.]
