Julian the Apostate in Byzantine Culture
Julian, the last pagan emperor of the Roman empire, died in war in 363. In the Byzantine (that is, the Eastern Roman) empire, the figure of Julian aroused conflicting reactions: antipathy towards his apostasy but also admiration for his accomplishments, particularly as an author writing in Greek. Julian died young, and his attempt to reinstate paganism was a failure, but, paradoxically, his brief and unsuccessful policy resonated for centuries. This book analyses Julian from the perspectives of Byzantine Culture. The history of his posthumous reputation reveals differences in cultural perspectives and it is most intriguing with regard to the Eastern Roman empire which survived for almost a m...
Die Gruppenbesteuerung im harmonisierten Mehrwertsteuerrecht
Julian Boor untersucht das Gruppenbesteuerungsrecht der Mehrwertsteuersystemrichtlinie und seine Auswirkungen auf das Recht der Mitgliedstaaten. Er analysiert die Tatbestandsmerkmale des Gruppenbesteuerungswahlrechts in Art. 11 MwStSystRL und weist nach, dass diese unionsrechtsautonom auszulegen und für die Mitgliedstaaten autoritativ sind. Einen Schwerpunkt legt der Autor auf den räumlichen Anwendungsbereich der Gruppenbesteuerung. Hierbei zeigt er auf, dass die geltende Inlandsbeschränkung mit dem primärem Unionsrecht unvereinbar ist und untersucht verschiedene Rechtsbehelfe gegen die Beschränkung. Abschließend analysiert er die Vereinbarkeit des deutschen Organschaftsrechts mit dem Unionsrecht und schlägt eine Neukonzeption des europäischen Gruppenbesteuerungsrechts vor.

Who Killed Apollo and Julian Augustus?
Who killed him? That is the question. Julian Augustus, Roman Emperor from 361-363 A. D., initiated reform of the Roman bureaucracy and state religion immediately on assuming office. After dismissing many civil servants, he eliminated Christianity as the state religion, reversing the policy of his two immediate predecessors. Instead, Julian proposed that all religions flourish freely. In parallel to his reforms, Julian attempted to destroy the Persian Empire after centuries of unsuccessful Roman efforts. This novel recounts Julian's reign through the eyes of Oribasius, Julian's trusted physician. At the climax of Julian's successful campaign in Persia, he was assassinated. Who killed Julian? Was it the same conspirators who silenced Apollo's Oracle at Delphi? Was it the Christian hierarchy, angry Roman military officers, laid-off eunuchs, humbled Persians, disaffected Jews, or unemployed Christian educators? They were all affected by Julian and had motive, means and opportunity.
Being Christian in Late Antiquity
What do we mean when we talk about 'being Christian' in Late Antiquity? This volume brings together sixteen world-leading scholars of ancient Judaism, Christianity and Greco-Roman culture and society to explore this question, in honour of the ground-breaking scholarship of Professor Gillian Clark. After an introduction to the volume's dedicatee and themes by Averil Cameron, the papers in Section I, `Being Christian through Reading, Writing and Hearing', analyse the roles that literary genre, writing, reading, hearing and the literature of the past played in the formation of what it meant to be Christian. The essays in Section II move on to explore how late antique Christians sought to create...
The Art of Burning Bridges
An enigma of twentieth-century literature-a writer accorded great importance in his time, if less than in his own mind-is here explored by one of our most versatile men of letters, a novelist and biographer ideally suited to the strange case of John O'Hara. The accomplishments are undeniable: "the Region," the fictionalized coal-mining Pennsylvania of O'Hara's youth, serving his work much as Yoknapatawpha County did Faulkner's; an acute vernacular gift and a narrative frankness shocking in his day; an intimate, combative relationship with "The New Yorker "for over four decades; and a handful of books, from "Appointment in Samarra "to "Sermons and Soda Water, " that justify their author's amb...
