The Cambridge Guide to Global Medieval Travel Writing
The Middle Ages laid the foundations for the long European and Middle Eastern history of voyaging, colonialism, and expansion: the Papal embassies that took over a year of overland travel to reach Mongolia, Ibn Battuta's thirty years of voyaging to Africa and East Asia, or the arrival of European colonialism in the Americas. With a focus on medieval Europe, this is the first book to cover global medieval travel writing from Iceland to Indonesia, …
Worlds of Byzantium
Worlds of Byzantium offers a new understanding of what it means to study the history and visual culture of the Byzantine empire during late antiquity and the Middle Ages. Arguing that linguistic and cultural frontiers do not always coincide with political ones, it suggests that Byzantine studies should look not only within but also beyond the borders of the Byzantine empire and include the history of Christian populations in the Muslim-ruled Midd…

Silk Road Christians and the Translation of Culture in Tang China
This article attempts to analyse the famous ‘Nestorian Monument’ from Xi'an, set up in 781 by Syriac Christians, as a document of cultural translation and integration. Previous scholarship on the monument has tended to privilege either the Syriac or the Chinese sections of the inscription. By combining the two, and by making use of recent advances in the study of Syriac Christians along the Silk Road, this article argues that the Syriac Christian…
Nonnus’ Paraphrastic Technique
Locus Amoenus / Loca Sancta
This chapter offers a close reading of a fifth-century work of hagiography, called The Life and Miracles of Thekla. The chapter analyzes the work from the point of view of the geographical orientation of specific miracles Thekla is said to have worked. The geographical imagination of the author arranges the miracles in concentric circles based upon his local knowledge of the region. This close reading is a practical example of using “cartographic…

Diatessaron
The Diatessaron is a bold and painstaking harmonization of the four Gospels into one narrative (διά τεσσάρων = “through four”) prepared by Tatian (ca.120–173), an “Assyrian” student of Justin Martyr at Rome ( Oratio ad Graecos 42.10–11).
Tatian
Tatian (ca. 120–173 ce ) remains today one of the most enigmatic authors of early Christianity. He was frequently deemed in antiquity the heresiarch of “Encratism” (i. e., stringent asceticism), though this appears not to have been a truly coherent movement.
Ephemerides, historical
Derived from the adjective ephêmérios (‘daily'), this Greek historiographical genre comprised a journal or basic ledger that organized events under the heading of a given day (cf. Suda E 3903.1, ed. Adler).
Divination, Jewish
The practice of divination appears repeatedly in the Hebrew Bible from Genesis through the exilic prophets (Hebrew roots: qsm, nhš , kšp ).

Greek Poetry
Scholars have expressed increasing appreciation for the uniqueness of late Greek poetry which had long been dismissed as a mere continuation of the great classical and Hellenistic poetry. This article presents an overview of Greek poetic production in Late Antiquity, focusing on the issues of relationships between poetry and prose, rhetorical structures, social contexts, and performances
Night Sleep Organization in Patients with Severe Hepatic Failure
20 subjects with severe hepatic failure have been studied by means of all night polygraphic sleep recordings. Base night recordings have been made, as well as registrations after treatment with drugs that are known to improve the clinical conditions of these patients, especially concerning the psychic performances. Base night recordings show sleep disruption, with a large amount of wakefulness at the beginning of the registrations and during the …
Reviving the Memory of the Apostles
In this essay I aim to consider the association of place with apostolic personae. The imaginative worlds generated between the time of the apostles in the first century and the rise of the medieval Christian world in the seventh and eighth centuries can be seen as an integral part of what we now label ‘late antiquity’. The period of late antiquity, roughly from 300 to 600 AD (from Constantine to Mohammed), is substantively a period of consolidati…
