Abstract:

Abstract In recent decades, historians of the Arab conquest have increasingly turned away from positivist reconstructions of the events of the Arab conquest. Through thematic analysis of conquest narratives, scholars have illustrated how the early Islamic community articulated its identity. Byzantine narratives of the Arab conquest have generally not been considered from this perspective. This paper takes the long view of the Arab conquest illustrating how centuries of Byzantine writers and chroniclers articulated and rearticulated this memory, as their identity shifted along with their political and diplomatic relationships.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTWhat could or should be visually represented was a contested issue across the medieval Christian and Islamic world around the year 800. This article examines how Islamic, Byzantine, Carolingian and Palestinian Christian attitudes toward representation were expressed, and differed, across the seventh and eighth centuries. Islamic prohibitions against representing human figures were not universally recognised, but were particularly – if sometimes erratically – focused on mosque decoration. Byzantine ‘iconoclasm’ – more properly called iconomachy – was far less destructive than its later offshoots in France and England, and resulted in a highly nuanced re-definition of what representation meant in the Orthodox church. Carolingian attitudes toward images were on the whole far less passionate than either Islamic or Orthodox views, but certain members of the elite had strong views, which resulted in particular visual expressions. Palestinian Christians, living under Islamic rule, modulated their attitudes toward images to conform with local social beliefs. Particularly in areas under Orthodox or Islamic control, then, representation mattered greatly around the year 800, and this article examines how and why this impacted on local production.

Abstract:

For the Byzantine emperors of the 10th century, the eastern front was the crucial one, due to the constant struggle with the Abbasid Caliphate. In the course of this conflict – from which Byzantium emerged victorious – the capturing and enslaving of soldiers and civilians alike was an everyday reality. The main objective of this paper is to define the role of prisoners of war in the strategy and tactics of Byzantine generals. First, I will attempt to determine whether the latter treated the captives as a potential gain under various aspects (i.e. financial, prestige-related, or diplomatic). Next, I will focus on those situations in which prisoners were nothing more than a burden. With the help of narrative sources and military manuals, I will try to clarify why both sides occasionally decided to execute their captives in certain episodes of the 10th century Arab-Byzantine conflict. Finally, I will specify how Byzantine generals made use of prisoners in order to get the upper hand over their Arab rivals.

Abstract:

The meaning and elaboration of Jihad (just-sacred war) hold an important place in Islamic history and thought. On the far side of its spiritual meanings, the term has been historically and previously associated with the Arab Believers’ conquest of the 7th–8th centuries CE. However, the main idea of this contribution is to develop the “sacralization of war” as a relevant facet that was previously elaborated by the Arab Christian (pro-Byzantine) clans of the north of the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant and secondarily by the Arab confederation of Muhammad’s believers. From the beginning of Muhammad’s hijra (622), the interconnection between the Medinan clans that supported the Prophet with those settled in the northwest of the Hijaz is particularly interesting in relation to a couple of aspects: their trade collaboration and the impact of the belligerent attitude of the pro-Byzantine Arab Christian forces in the framing of the early concept of a Jihad. This analysis aimed to clarify the possibility that the early “sacralization of war” in proto-Islamic narrative had a Christian Arab origin related to a previous refinement in the Christian milieu.

Abstract:

This article aims to show to which extent the Arab and Muslim historians and geographers are aware of and familiar with the Byzantine empire’s territories (Roman territories), and their information about its administrative and military divisions in the first eight Hijri centuries (8-14 AD), which is the period in which the Roman territories were under Byzantine rule, and later by Seljuk who dominated these territories after the Battle of Manzikert in 463 AH / 1071 AD, and before its submission to Ottoman rule. The study also explores the main routes used by Arabs and Muslims in their military campaigns to invade the Roman territories, and the routes used by Christian pilgrims in the area between the Levant and Constantinople (Istanbul). The study is based on the old traditional Arabic Sources until the eighth century AH / fourteenth century AD, and it shows how Arab historians and geographers dealt with the names of Byzantine places and the Arabization of these names.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe purpose of the study is the investigation of perinatal nutrition in the early Byzantine period.MethodsThe original Greek language works of the celebrated physician of the fourth century, Oribasius, were studied.ResultsThe first Byzantine author who studied perinatal nutrition, Oribasius, provided his own concepts about the topic, focusing on the suitable choice of wet nurse and evaluation of the quality of the milk. His research proves that physicians from early Byzantine times were greatly interested in perinatal nutrition. He was aware of the knowledge of eminent ancient Greek and Roman physicians, whose extracts he quoted and opinions he generally followed.ConclusionsThe study concludes that concepts of perinatal nutrition in the early Byzantine period followed those of the Hippocratic, Hellenistic, and Roman periods. The early Byzantine physicians then influenced later Byzantine and Arab physicians, and afterward, their research was introduced to European medicine.

Abstract:

Rozdział 1 przedstawia informacje na temat prac archeologicznych prowadzonych w Deir el-Naqlun (oaza Fajum, Egipt) przez Centrum Archeologii Śródziemnomorskiej Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. W ich trakcie odkryto kompleks monastyczny, działający od V w. n.e. aż po dzień dzisiejszy. W trakcie wykopalisk odkryto liczne znaleziska, w tym bardzo liczną ceramikę. Zespół amfor był jednym z najliczniejszych i najbardziej złożonych. Badania nad pojemnikami transportowymi, podjęte w innych częściach basenu morza Śródziemnego ujawniły ich znaczenie dla studiów nad starożytną ekonomią i handlem. Szerokie ramy chronologiczne zespołu, złożonego z naczyń datowanych od V w. do XII w. n.e., umożliwiają obserwację długich tradycji wymiany amfor. Rozdział 2 to opis metodyki zastosowanej w badaniach, z uwzględnieniem opisu naczyń, ich kształtów, mas ceramicznych, opracowania powierzchni, dekoracji i sposobu kwantyfikacji amfor w celu przeprowadzenia analiz statystycznych, użytych w analitycznej części dysertacji. Rozdział 3 opisuje lokalizację i charakterystykę stanowiska w Deir el-Naqlun; rozdział 4 to historia badań na stanowisku. Ogólną charakterystykę naczyń znalezionych w Deir el-Naqlun przedstawiono w rozdziale 5, jako tło do badań nad amforami i fazowania ceramiki zaproponowanego przez autorkę. W rozdziale 6 znaleziska amfor opisano w oparciu o podział na egipskie i nieegipskie wyroby. Opis zawiera typologiczne odnośniki, informacje na temat samych naczyń( kształt, masa ceramiczna, dekoracja, wymiary), pochodzenie, miejsce znalezienia, datowanie i dostępne analogie. Rozdział 7 zawiera studium nad ekonomia klasztoru Naqlun w oparciu o analizy statystyczne amfor. Różne aspekty ekonomiczne, jak produkcja, dystrybucja i konsumpcja zostały przeanalizowane w oparciu o podejście statystyczne. Analizy uwzględniają procentowy udział różnych typów, miejsc ich pochodzenia i chronologię. Różnice w strukturze chronologicznej są widoczne w zróżnicowanym występowaniu poszczególnych typów amfor. Rozdział 8 to odniesienie do innych źródeł, tj. tekstowych i ikonograficznych. Rozdział 9 zawiera próbę rekonstrukcji ekonomii i relacji handlowych w oazie Fajum na podstawie szczegółowej analizy znalezisk amfor. Uzyskane dane umieszczono w historycznym kontekście okresów bizantyjskiego i arabskiego w Egipcie; porównanie między nimi jest niezwykle ważne dla sytuacji w oazie Fajum. Wnioski przedstawione w rozdziale 10 wskazują, że Fajum było ważnym ośrodkiem rolniczym, pozostającym w kontaktach z innymi częściami Egiptu i basenu Śródziemnomorskiego. Obecność importowanych towarów w klasztorze odzwierciedla dobrobyt jego mieszkańców. Podbój arabski nie wprowadził znaczących zmian od razu; później nastąpiła regionalizacja produkcji amfor, a w kontekstach archeologicznych zaobserwowano dominację lokalnych pojemników. Zespół amfor z Deir el-Naqlun dostarcza nowych danych na temat ekonomii klasztoru i jego kontaktów ze światem "zewnętrznym". Znaleziska te mogą być uznane za reprezentatywną grupę dla oazy Fajum w okresie bizantyjskim i arabskim oraz dają wgląd w ekonomię i relacje handlowe tego regionu.
Chapter 1 presents introductory information about the research. Archaeological works undertaken at Deir el-Naqlun (the Fayum Oasis, Egypt) by the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw, revealed an extensive monastic complex, which has been functioning since the 5th century AD until the present day. Excavations brought into light a large number of finds, among which pottery was the most abundant. The assemblage of amphorae was one of the most numerous and diversified. Research on transport containers undertaken in other parts of the Mediterranean revealed their importance for studies of ancient economy and trade. The wide chronological range of the assemblage, composed of vessels dated from the 5th to 12th century AD, gives an opportunity to observe a lasting tradition of amphorae trade. Chapter 2 is devoted to methodology applied in the research with regard to the description of the vessels, their shapes, fabrics, surface treatments, and decoration, as well as the ways of quantification of the vessels for the purpose of statistic methods used in the analytical part of the dissertation. Chapter 3 describes the localization and characteristics of the site at Deir el-Naqlun; chapter 4 presents the history of the research of the site. An overview of the ceramic materials discovered at Deir el-Naqlun is presented in chapter 5 as a background for amphorae research and the subsequent phasing of the ceramics proposed for the site by the author. In chapter 6, the amphorae finds are described with division into Egyptian and non-Egyptian finds. The descriptions contain typological references, information about vessels (shape, fabric, surface treatment, decoration, dimensions), the origins of the vessels, their findspots, dating, and published analogies. Chapter 7 contains a study of the economy of the monastery of Naqlun based on statistical analysis. Various economic aspects, such as production, distribution, and consumption are analyzed on the basis of statistical assessments. The analysis considers the percentage of different types with regard to their origin and chronology. The differences in chronology of the structures on the site are reflected in the differences in the occurrence of the vessel types discovered therein. In chapter 8 the results of the statistical analysis are confronted with data obtained from other categories of sources (e.g. textual and iconographical). Chapter 9 constitutes an attempt at a reconstruction of the economy and trade relations in the Faiyum Oasis based on a detailed analysis of amphorae finds. The obtained data is investigated in the historical context of the Byzantine and Arab periods in Egypt; the comparison between the two periods is essentials for the general picture of the situation in the Fayum Oasis. From the conclusions of the research, presented in chapter 10, it follows that the region of Fayum was an important agricultural area which maintained contacts with other parts of Egypt, and with the Mediterranean. The presence of imported goods in the monastery reflects the wealth of its inhabitants. The Arab conquest of Egypt did not bring any immediate change in the economy and trade relations. It is only later that a strong regionalization of amphorae production and predominance of vessels of local origin can be observed in archaeological contexts. The amphorae assemblage discovered at Deir el-Naqlun provides us with new data on the economy of the monastery and its contacts with the “outside” world. The finds can be considered a representative group for the Fayum Oasis in the Byzantine and Arab periods and give precious insights into the economy and trade relations of the region.

Abstract:

Roman historians developed a tradition of placing ethno graphic information into their works. The “Other” was an everyday reality of the Roman state. With its expansion more nations came into its orbit and thus to the attention of its writers. Arabs were among many others whom the Romans confronted. The position of the Arabs changed rapidly since the emergence of Islam in the 7th century. From a peripheral nation they became the major superpower in the East. The Roman/Byzantine perception did change due to various factors, such as the emergence of new religion as well as military expansion of the newly founded Arab state. It was in this period when ethnographic tradition under went a major transformation. Ethnography was in decline with snippets of information throughout literary works instead of vast descriptions of the “Other” as known in antiquity. Merging the snippets, however, a more coher ent image may occur. The aim of this paper is to look on the ethnographic information about Arabs in three literary works of the 10th century Byzantium – the Taktika, De administran do imperio and History of Leo the Deacon. Arabs will be analysed under the scope of elements that affected Byzantine perception on them – religion, military, and ethnic stereotypes. With the analysis I intend not only to gain a more coherent picture about the ethnographic perception of the Arabs in Byzantium, but also the differ ence of the perception among its various social classes.

Abstract:

Nablus old center stands as a typical Arab city with a relevant geographical location. Successive historical periods distinguish its history - from Canaanite to Roman, Byzantine, Islamic, Crusader or Ottoman - till nowadays. This cultural diversity has layered chronological strata on its urban fabric. Therefore, diverse historical characteristics reflected in the city’s urban morphology have undergone continued physical and functional transformations, not only gradually by time and various socio-cultural, economic or political factors, but also radically by earthquakes and war destructions. Present-day Nablus’ physical image echoes a palimpsest of urban/social identities and an asset for a very sensitive collective memory. This paper examines the formation, evolution and constitution of the old city of Nablus by a retrospective analysis that searches the morphological momentum for each phase in articulation with a reflection around its historical meaning for the city. Methodologically, this study is conducted on both urban and architectural levels, surveying street hierarchy and plot distribution. This understanding will be extremely important for an accurate perception of this tissue in order to advocate for a concerned idea of the city’s reconstruction, following recent urban annihilations. At a time when urban rehabilitation pushes plans for quick and immediate results, reading Nablus’ urban morphology can work as the lacking tool for an instructed and operative regeneration.
