Writing and Reading Anti-Islamic Polemics in Byzantium: The Dialogue on the Faith of the Monk Euthymios with a Saracen Philosopher (Twelfth Century)
No full textThe Dialogue on the Faith, attributed to an unknown author conventionally known as Pseudo-Euthymios, is often regarded as an unoriginal patchwork of traditional apologetic and polemical arguments against Islam, compiled in the twelfth century. A closer analysis of its textual features (linguistic register, rhetorical structure, argumentative strategies) and manuscript tradition helps to shed light on the geographical and social milieu of its production and early circulation, its audience and its possible functions. This will contribute to a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of this text and open new avenues of approach to the literary genre of anti-Islamic controversies in late Byzantium

Aristocracy and Literary Production in the Tenth Century
No full textTaking as its starting point the figure and work of John Geometra, a poet active in 10th-century Constantinople, the article examines two interrelated phenomena. On the one hand, the author questions whether a literary production of aristocratic and provincial inspiration existed in Byzantium during the period under examination, and proposes to identify traces of it in the Byzantine literature that has come down to us. On the other hand, the research intends to reconstruct how the Constantinopolitan cultural elite active at the Macedonian court was able to translate the ambitions and traditions of this rising social group, expressing them in the language of the 'high' classicizing literature

Imperial adjudication in Late Antiquity: evolutions and perceptions in the light of documentary evidence
Full text linkThis paper explores the functions of recorded proceedings in late antique court administration, focusing on documentary records related to imperial adjudication. Verbatim records of verdicts uttered by the emperor on individual cases are on the whole scarcely attested; they become particularly rare from the mid-3rd century AD, and are no longer preserved after the 4th century. The author scrutinizes the causes and meaning of such a state of evidence. After an in-depth analysis of the extracts of proceedings included in the Theodosian and Justinian codes, parallel literary and non-literary sources on imperial jurisdiction in the 4th and 5th centuries are considered. The discussion highlights changes occurred in the function, circulation and reception of minuted records. These reflect evolutions which affected not only judicial procedure, but also the understanding of the imperial role, the forms of institutional communication, and late antique legal thinking. /nThis paper explores the functions of recorded proceedings in late antique court administration, focusing on documentary records related to imperial adjudication.

When universal history reaches the present: narrative time and authorial presence in Zonaras' account of Alexios Komnenos' reign
No full textThe paper addresses the issues of Zonaras Epitome’s place within the tradition of Byzantine chronicle, using it as a test-case for the validity and meaning of genre distinction in Byzantine historiography. The discussion focuses on the last section of Zonaras’ work, which recounts the reign of Alexios I Komnenos. The author shows that Zonaras’ choices with respect to the selection of narrative contents, their chronological arrangement, and the handling of narrative time push the boundaries of the chronicle genre in order to provide an ideological interpretation of the recent past
La voce del padrone. La parola imperiale fra registrazione documentaria e rielaborazione letteraria (I sec. a.C. - VI sec. d.C.)
No full textIl presente lavoro intende tracciare continuità e mutamenti nelle pratiche di registrazione documentaria dell'azione e della parola pubblica imperiale dall'età di Augusto al VI secolo d.C. L'autore affronta preliminarmente alcune questioni metodologiche relative alla definizione del genere documentario in esame e delinea i criteri seguiti per la selezione di un corpus di fonti, di cui viene fornito un catalogo in appendice. Sulla base di questo materiale vengono ricostruite le dinamiche di circolazione e trasmissione dei documenti in esame, nelle loro evoluzioni diacroniche. Infine, viene proposta un'interpretazione della funzione di questi documenti, con particolare attenzione al loro significato storico-culturale in quanto testimonianze delle modalità di interazione e comunicazione pubblica fra il sovrano e i sudditi dell'impero.This paper aims at tracing evolutions in the documentary recording of imperial official action and public speaking from the age of Augustus to the sixth century AD. The author addresses methodological issues relating to the definition of the documentary genre under consideration, and outlines the criteria followed in gathering a corpus of relevant sources; a catalogue of attestations is provided in the appendix. On the basis of this material, the analysis moves on to reconstruct the changing patterns of circulation and preservation of documents recording imperial oral pronouncements and public performances. Finally, a historical interpretation of the function of these documents is proposed, with particular attention to their significance as witnesses to public interactions between Roman rulers and their subjects, within the framework of official imperial communication
