Staging Rachel
Lamentations Rabbah Proem 24, a late ancient rabbinic midrash, is in many ways a unique text within the entire rabbinic corpus. It presents an extraordinary array of characters (including Abraham, Moses, the Torah, and even the alphabet) who are called upon to placate God, but fail. As their quest proves inconclusive, the biblical Rachel jumps into the fray to tell her story: how out of sisterly compassion she allowed Leah to take her own place i…
Interpreting Late Antiquity
The Invisible Jews of Visigothic Spain
In the annals of Visigothic Spain the Jews emerge as a much persecuted minority. The originality, however, or rather its absence from either the royal Gothic laws or their accompanying ecclesiastical canons must be fully appreciated. It is seen, in part, through laws relating to marriage between Jews and Christians, free and bonded, the subject of the first part of the article. In the second part I explore the complete absence of souvenirs of per…

Le corps d'une pécheresse, le prix de la piété
La première relation de saint Jérôme qui nous soit parvenue est une lettre qui décrit les tortures et l'exécution d'une femme adultère en Italie du Nord. Pour le début de la carrière d'écrivain d'un des plus prolifiques et influents pères de l'Église, un cas d'adultère constitue un sujet puissant. Toutefois, ce qui paraît être le rapport explicite d'un procès d'adultère est bien plus qu'un simple récit. Ce document contient au moins deux types de…

La condamnation, rabbinique ou episcopale, du mariage hors de la communaute de foi juive ou chretienne), eclaire les consequences severes entrainees par ces unions, leur nullite legale (du point de vue rabbinique), et plus generalement leur caractere indesirable. Mais les tentatives, tant rabbiniques qu'episcopales, d'invalider ces mariages trouvent leurs limites dans l'existence d'un troisieme systeme de loi qui reconnaissait leur validite et of…
Ulfila's Own Conversion
Ulfila the Goth (ca. 310–383) has gained fame as the Arian apostle to his people. More accurately, he was responsible for the conversion of semi-Arianism during the 340s. Yet two distinct traditions exist regarding Ulfila's own religious formation. One is an Arianized version of his life in the reports of Philostorgius and Auxentius, which claims Ulfila as an Arian from birth. The other, a Nicene version gleaned from the works of Socrates, Sozome…

Ambrose of Milan
Ausonius of Bordeaux
Ausonius of Bordeaux, food and wine connoisseur, poet and politician, enjoyed a long and remarkable career. After thirty years as an academic in Bordeaux, he moved to the imperial capital of Trier as tutor to Gratian, heir to the throne of the western Roman empire. When his pupil became emperor unexpectedly, Ausonius, his family and his friends made full use of the opportunities which the moment presented. Ausonius was also a prolific author. His…
Anician Women, the Cento of Proba, and Aristocratic Conversion in the Fourth Century
L'A. se propose d'analyser de phenomene de conversion au christianisme qui s'est empare de l'aristocratie senatoriale romaine au debut du IV e siecle de notre ere. L'etude resserre le probleme autour de la question de la contribution des femmes a ce processus de conversion : comment les femmes, avant l'avenement de l'ascetisme, exprimaient-elles leur piete ? Comment transmettaient-elles leur foi et dans quelle mesure pouvaient-elles influencer le…

Who Was Egeria? Piety and Pilgrimage in the Age of Gratian
It has been customary to identify the author of the Itinerarium Egeriae (It. Eg.) as a nun or a “grande dame” from one of the western provinces of the later Roman empire—Spain, Gaul, or even Italy. Yet, a reexamination of the evidence suggests the possibility of a different solution regarding not only the author's religious affiliation and status in society but also her geographical origin. The newly proposed identification is linked with major d…
Holy Land Pilgrimage and Western Audiences
In the vast literature centering on the Itinerarium Egeriae (IE) there is a serious lacuna. No attempt has been made to analyse the circle of readers to whom this remarkable document was addressed and for whose sake Egeria recorded so faithfully every detail of her journey. Yet if a full understanding of the IE is to be achieved, some definition of the circle of Egeria and of its relations with the pilgrim is essential. In other words, who in the…
Funerary Monuments and Funerary Rites in Late Antique Aquitaine
Within the major groups of late Roman sarcophagi and especially of late Gallic sarcophagi (those of Arles and Marseille), the sarcophagi of Aquitaine stand apart in both shape and style. This study traces the broad lines of their stylistic evolution from direct imitations of shape and decoration of the Arelasian models to the fully developed Aquitanian style with its exclusive floral and vegetal patterns, the trapezoid box and the rooflike lid. H…
