Theological treatises with the dual intention of providing an apology for the author’s beliefs and a polemic against the beliefs of others were common in late antiquity and the medieval period. Franz Cöln presents here the text of one such treatise defending the beliefs of the Jacobite Church. The text is anonymous, and though it exists in several manuscripts, none of the manuscripts attributes the text to a specific author. Cöln offers a brief discussion of authorship, but focuses more on the time period in which the text was most likely composed. Cöln presents the text of this treatise in Arabic, though the majority of the manuscripts preserve the text in Garshuni script. The text is accompanied by a critical apparatus with variants from the available manuscripts and a German translation.

Picture of Calling Out to Isis

Calling Out to Isis

The expansion of the cult of the goddess Isis throughout the Mediterranean world demonstrates the widespread appeal of Egyptian religion in the Greco-Roman period. In this monograph, Ashby focuses on an oft-neglected population in studies of this phenomenon: Nubian worshipers. Through examination of prayer inscriptions and legal agreements engraved on temple walls, as well as Ptolemaic royal decrees and temple imagery, Ashby sheds new light on the involvement of Nubians in the Egyptian temples of Lower Nubia, and further draws comparisons between Nubian cultic practices and the Meroitic royal funerary cult.

Aqueducts and Urbanism in Post-Roman Hispania

Our current knowledge of Roman aqueducts across the Empire is patchy and uneven. Even if the development of “aqueduct studies” (where engineering, archaeology, architecture, hydraulics, and other disciplines converge) in recent years has improved this situation, one of the aspects which has been generally left aside is the chronology of their late antique phases and of their abandonment. In the Iberian peninsula, there is to date, no general overview of the Roman aqueducts, and all the available information is distributed across various publications, which as expected, hardly mention the late phases. This publication tackles this issue by analysing and reassessing the available evidence for the late phases of the Hispanic aqueducts by looking at a wide range of sources of information, many times derived from the recent interest shown by archaeologists and researchers on late antique urbanism.
