Notes on the Careers of Nāǧid b. Muslim and ‘Abd al-Malik b. Yazīd
This short article presents new readings in two published documents which provide important data on the prosopography of two Muslim officials active in mid-8th c. Egypt: the well known pagarch Nagid b. Muslim and his more obscure colleague ̔Abd al-Malik b. Yazid. The first document, P.Vindob. A.P. 1944 verso, is an Arabic text that was written on the back of a bilingual Greek-Arabic account. The second one is a Coptic letter that bears on its bac…

Neue Papyri zur Wirtschaftsgeschichte des Apa Apollos-Kloster in Bawit
An edition of three papyri from the Apa Apollos monastery at Bawit. P.Heid. inv. G 1389 (I) contains a 6th century receipt in Greek concerning the paradeisos of Abba Menas. It is interesting for the mention of the monetary standard of the monastery and the hegoumenos Abba Anouphis. P.Heid. inv. G 1027 (II) and P.Bremen Übersee-Museum Inv. B 14478 (III) are 8th century bilingual (Greek-Coptic) orders for delivery. P.Heid. inv. G 1027 concerns the …

Die christusliebende Thebais
Die Erstedition von P.Heid.inv. G 2735 R aus dem Jahr 787/788 und eine Neulesung in P.Ryl. Copt. 175 aus dem Jahr 720/721 werden vorgelegt. Diese zwei Dokumentpräskripte belegen die Verwendung des Adjektivs φιλόχριστος, ‚christusliebend‘, auf die ägyptische Provinz Thebais. Dieser Gebrauch ist wahrscheinlich als eine Gewohnheit von hermupolitischen Schreibern zu betrachten und hatte unter islamischer Herrschaft vielleicht eine ideologische Bedeut…

Magyarok Nikétas Chóniatésnál
Nikétas Chóniatés a 12. század legjelentősebb és legismertebb bizánci történetírója. A dolgozat célkitűzése a szerző magyarokról szóló tudósításainak vizsgálata, különös tekintettel a történetíró magyarokról kialakított képére. Az elemzés kisebb részben a Chóniatés alkalmi beszédeiben található elszórt adatokra, nagyobb részben kortörténetének magyarokra vonatkozó szemelvényeire támaszkodik.

Die Ungarn bei Niketas Choniates
Nicetas Choniates is the most significant and well-known Byzantine historian of the 12th century. This paper deals with his passages about the Hungarians, in particular with the representation of the Hungarians. The analysis is partly based on sporadic data found in the orations of Choniates, and chiefly on the related pieces of his History. A close inspection of these sources leads to three basic conclusions: 1) The representation of the Hungari…

Griechen und Trojaner bei Dares Phrygius
n\t\t\t\tThe representation of Greeks and Trojans in the \n History\n of Dares has not been researched thoroughly so far. It seems that Dares’ narrative is not entirely impartial and neutral — as it has been assumed. However, a close reading of the text leads to the conclusion that the Greeks are represented in an idealized way, while the Trojans are depicted slightly negatively with barbarian characteristics. Furthermore, from this observation a…
Gyges und Aladdin — Ein Persisches Motiv in Der Griechischen und in der Arabischen Märchenwelt
The relationship of the three earliest sources (Herodotus, Plato, Xanthus) relating how Gyges came to power is controversial. Their most striking common feature is the motif of Gyges seizing power through getting hold of the queen. The close connection of the queen and power proves to be an Eastern motif, a special Persian interpretation of the translatio imperii , according to which the royal woman bears the glory representing the sovereign powe…
The Paramilitary Police Model: An Organizational Misfit
