The Good Christian Ruler in the First Millennium
The late antique and early medieval Mediterranean was characterized by wide-ranging cultural and linguistic diversity. Yet, under the influence of Christianity, communities in the Mediterranean world were bound together by common concepts of good rulership, which were also shaped by Greco-Roman, Persian, Caucasian, and other traditions. This collection of essays examines ideas of good Christian rulership and the debates surrounding them in diverse cultures and linguistic communities. It grants special attention to communities on the periphery, such as the Caucasus and Nubia, and some essays examine non-Christian concepts of good rulership to offer a comparative perspective. As a whole, the studies in this volume reveal not only the entanglement and affinity of communities around the Mediterranean but also areas of conflict among Christians and between Christians and other cultural traditions. By gathering various specialized studies on the overarching question of good rulership, this volume highlights the possibilities of placing research on classical antiquity and early medieval Europe into conversation with the study of eastern Christianity.
Das Mönchtum in der Religionspolitik Kaiser Justinians I.
Justinian I. (527-565) prägte als Kaiser, der sich als Gottes Stellvertreter auf Erden inszenierte, mit seiner Religionspolitik die Spätantike nachhaltig. Welche Rolle spielten dabei Mönche, denen als „Engel des Himmels“ ebenfalls eine exklusive Beziehung zu Gott zugeschrieben wurde? Dieses Buch untersucht, wie Justinian in seiner Gesetzgebung, bei religionspolitischen Aktionen und bei persönlichen Begegnungen mit den „Engeln des Himmels“ umging, welchen Maximen er dabei folgte, welche Wechselwirkungen sich mit seiner Selbstdarstellung und seiner religionspolitischen Agenda ergaben und welche Konsequenzen er daraus ziehen musste. Dadurch soll ein Beitrag zur Justinian-Forschung geleistet werden, indem erstmals umfassend die Rolle und Funktion des heterogenen östlichen Mönchtums für Justinians Religionspolitik in den Blick genommen wird.
Das Mönchtum in der Religionspolitik Kaiser Justinians I.
With his religious politics and his self-representation as the vicar of God on Earth, Justinian I (527-565) had an enduring impact on Late Antiquity. What part did monks, believed to be heavenly angels, play in promoting this notion? This book offers the first exhaustive investigation of Justinian s personal relations to monkhood and the role of monks in religious and legislative politics. "

Preaching Christology in the Roman Near East
This study develops a methodology for approaching homilies that draws on a broader understanding of audience as both the physical audience and the readership of sermons. It then offers a case study on the Syriac preacher Jacob of Serguh whose metrical homilies form one of the largest sermon collections in any language from late antiquity.
The Acts of Early Church Councils Acts
The Acts of Early Church Councils Acts examines the acts of ancient church councils as the objects of textual practices, in their editorial shaping, and in their material conditions. It traces the processes of their production, starting from the recording of spoken interventions during a meeting, to the preparation of minutes of individual sessions, to their collection into larger units, their storage and the earliest attempts at their dissemination. Thomas Graumann demonstrates that the preparation of 'paperwork' is central for the bishops' self-presentation and the projection of prevailing conciliar ideologies. The councils' aspirations to legitimacy and authority before real and imagined ...
Caucasian Albania
By consequence of the Karabakh War in 2020 and due to Azerbaijanian revisionism concerning the history, culture and cultural monuments of the region, the discussion on Caucasian "Albania", which is little known in the West in both academic and public circles, has been reignited. The handbook provides an overview of the current state of research on the Caucasian "Albanians" in an objective, scientifically sound manner. The contributions are not necessarily intended to reveal new scientific findings but rather to summarise approved knowledge. The volume brings together internationally renowned scholars, researchers and practitioners from various fields of studies reporting on and reviewing the state of research concerning the Caucasian "Albanians", their history and archaeology, their language and written monuments, their religion, church history and their art, including their relation to the Udi people of today. The companion is intended to neutrally introduce the readership to the subject of Caucasian Albania from various perspectives.
