Finding Old Nubian, or, why we should divest from Western tongues
Rubrication Patterns in Two Old Nubian Manuscripts from Serra East
The present paper analyses the rubrication patterns in two Old Nubian manuscripts (known under the sigla St and SC) both originally intended for deposition at the Jesus Church in Serra East. Through a comparison with rubrication patterns in other Old Nubian manuscripts, the authors argue that the rubricated phrases in St and SC show an internal coherence that could be interpreted as a ‘second voice’ in a ‘polyphonic’ text
An Old Nubian Curse from the Faras Cathedral
The present paper analyses an Old Nubian inscription from the Faras Cathedral, containing a curse with a reference to Col 1:13. The publication gives a description of the inscription, a transcription with critical apparatus, and a grammatical and general commentary on the text
Two Old Nubian Inscriptions from Akasha West
The present paper analyses two Old Nubian inscriptions found at a church in Akasha West in 1969. The first inscription was found on an ostracon and invokes Jesus Christ. The second inscription was found on the altar inside the church’s sanctuary, and refers to the Holy Altar of Michael. The publication gives a description of the inscription, a transcription with critical apparatus, and a grammatical and general commentary on the text
For Sale
In this article I want to focus on the way in which land property is described within the Makuritan kingdom, based on a grammatical analysis of Old Nubian land sales. I will argue that such descriptions are always relative in nature, referring to adjacent plots oriented from south to north on the banks of the Nile. South is thus considered the "up/forward" direction. I will also discuss the multiple ways in which the function and ownership of lan…
Continent. Year 1
continent. Year 1: A selection of issues 1.1-1.4 collects a variety of thoughts and tropes from the 2011 issues of continent., ranging from work on Greek poetry to deep brain recordings, from speculative realism to the fragments as a unit of prose, and from queer theory to mass murder. This collection presents the fruits of an intense collaboration throughout the different zones of the Academy
An Old Nubian Letter from the Daughter of an Eparch
In search of Nubian master-builders
A makeshift drawing from the Cathedral in Faras may be a depiction of the ground plan of a church. Nevertheless, the naive appearance of the sketch and an almost complete lack of sufficient parallels from either Nubia or the Eastern Mediterranean make a proper examination of this assumption unfeasible. A reassessment of the architectural drawing from the cathedral, however, draws a wider perspective for a discussion of originality in Nubian archi…
The Etymology of the Toponym "Pourgoundi" (Notes on Medieval Nubian Toponymy 5)
The toponym ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲅⲟⲩⲛⲇⲓ was first recorded in a Greek–Old Nubian graffito on a wall of the Church of the Archangel Raphael in Tamit
The Etymology of the Toponym "Dorginarti" (Notes on Medieval Nubian Toponymy 6)
The island of Dorginarti is situated south of Buhen in Northern Su- dan and has now been completely submerged in Lake Nasser
Old Nubian Relative Clauses
I would like to thank Issameddin Awad, Angelika Jakobi, and Giovanni Ruffini for their comments and suggestins during the various stages of writing this article.1
The disturbing object of philology
Remarks toward a Revised Grammar of Old Nubian
A series of brief proposals relating to possible future avenues for Old Nubian studies
Pedagogies of Disaster
We live in an era where the university system is undergoing great changes owing to developments in financing policies and research priorities, as well as changes in the society in which this system is embedded. This change toward a more market-oriented university, which also has immediate effects in academic peripheries such as the Balkans, the Middle East, or South-East Asia, is of great influence for the pedagogical practice of “less profitable…
