Borrowings from "The Epitome" of the Work of Theodore Lector in "The Chronicle" of George the Monk for the Reign of Emperors Theodosius II and Marcian
No full textNiniejszy artykuł podejmuje kwestię wykorzystania przez Jerzego Mnicha w opisie panowania cesarzy Teodozjusza II i Marcjana na kartach jego Kroniki informacji pochodzących z Epitome napisanych na początku VI w. dzieł Teodora Lektora (Historia tripartita, Historia ecclesiastica). Analizie poddane zostały zarówno oczywiste zapożyczenia, jak i opisy zaczerpnięte za pośrednictwem Chronografii Teofanesa. Dodatkowo artykuł próbuje odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy trzy passusy z Kroniki, których proweniencja pozostaje nieustalona, a które występują również w dziele Teofanesa, mogą pochodzić z epitomy dzieł Teodora. W wyniku analizy autor sugeruje, że jednozdaniowa informacja o przebudzeniu w Efezie prześladowanych w czasach Decjusza, opis objawienia hymnu Trisagion w Konstantynopolu za episkopatu Proklosa oraz opis wybrania przez Pulcherię Marcjana jako następcę cesarza Teodozjusza II, prawdopodobnie pierwotnie znajdowały się we wspomnianych dziełach Teodora Lektora.
The purpose of this article is to analyse the use of sources by George Monk in his Chronicle. The analysis concerns George Monk's use of the Epitome of the works of Theodore Lector (Historia tripartita, Historia ecclesiastica) which were written in the early sixth century for the period of the reigns of Emperors Theodosius II and Marcian. Both obvious borrowings and information taken through Theophanes' Chronography are analysed. In addition, the author suggests, on the basis of analogies with the work of Theophanes, that three other passages in the Chronicle – the account of the awakening in Ephesus of the persecuted under Decius, the description of the revelation of the Trisagion hymn in Constantinople under the episcopate of Proclus, and the description of Pulcheria's choice of Marcian as successor to Emperor Theodosius II – were probably originally found in the aforementioned works of Theodore Lector.Niniejszy artykuł powstał w ramach projektu sfinansowanego ze środków Narodowego Centrum Nauki, przyznanych na podstawie decyzji nr 2022/47/B/HS3/00389
The chronostratigraphy of protoplanet Vesta
No full textabstract: In this paper we present a time-stratigraphic scheme and geologic time scale for the protoplanet Vesta, based on global geologic mapping and other analyses of NASA Dawn spacecraft data, complemented by insights gained from laboratory studies of howardite–eucrite–diogenite (HED) meteorites and geophysical modeling. On the basis of prominent impact structures and their associated deposits, we propose a time scale for Vesta that consists of four geologic time periods: Pre-Veneneian, Veneneian, Rheasilvian, and Marcian. The Pre-Veneneian Period covers the time from the formation of Vesta up to the Veneneia impact event, from 4.6 Ga to >2.1 Ga (using the asteroid flux-derived chronology system) or from 4.6 Ga to 3.7 Ga (under the lunar-derived chronology system). The Veneneian Period covers the time span between the Veneneia and Rheasilvia impact events, from >2.1 to 1 Ga (asteroid flux-derived chronology) or from 3.7 to 3.5 Ga (lunar-derived chronology), respectively. The Rheasilvian Period covers the time span between the Rheasilvia and Marcia impact events, and the Marcian Period covers the time between the Marcia impact event until the present. The age of the Marcia impact is still uncertain, but our current best estimates from crater counts of the ejecta blanket suggest an age between ∼120 and 390 Ma, depending upon choice of chronology system used. Regardless, the Marcia impact represents the youngest major geologic event on Vesta. Our proposed four-period geologic time scale for Vesta is, to a first order, comparable to those developed for other airless terrestrial bodies.NOTICE: this is the author's version of a work that was accepted for publication in ICARUS.

Some notes on the date of Attila's death
No full textIn his paper the author deals with the date of Attila's death. Several scholarly works dealt already with Attila's death and the written sources. The antique source dates his death to the year 453 shortly before Attila's planned campaign against Marcian. On the other hand, Leo the Great's letters has not been examined regarding this issue. In one of his letters written 11 March 451, the pope mentions the still existing dangers (flagella) where obviously refer to Attila and the Huns. This means nothing was known about Attila's death in the middle of March of 453 in Rome, so the Hun king must have died a little bit later
Kath'helious makrous. Le poesie funebri sull'ultima corte Paleologa in un autografo Marciano di Bessarione
No full textIl contributo offre una sintetica rassegna (in vista dell’edizione critica e del commento in seguito curati dalla stessa autrice) dei cinque componimenti che costituiscono il corpus di poesie funebri tramandato da un autografo marciano di Bessarione (il codice Marciano greco 533).
A concise review (in anticipation of the critical edition and commentary by the same author) of the five works which constitute the corpus of funeral poetry preserved in a manuscript in Bessarion’s own hand and held in the Marcian Library (ms. Marcianus graecus 533)
Un nuovo testimone per le rime di Fazio degli Uberti
No full textThe paper aims to present a short fragment of a vernacular poetry manuscript (end of 14th c.), found in codex Lat. Z 478 (= 1661) of Venice's Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana. In particular, the author studies the contribution of this unknown witness to the text of the canzone Io guardo i crespi e i biondi capelli by Fazio degli Uberti, in the light of the stemma codicum Lorenzi had drawn in his recent critical edition of Fazio's poems (Pisa, 2013). Furthermore, the author examines the text transmitted by the Marcian codex of the pseudo-Boccaccian canzone Subita volontà, nuovo accidente. The essay is followed by the critical edition and by the commentary (focusing on linguistic, philological and literary aspects) of two unpublished sonnets

No full textUsage of phrases showing marks of respect towards emperors in "Żywoty" by Cyryl of Scytopolis
No full textRafał Kosiński - Uniwersytet w Białymstoku. Instytut HistoriiThe purpose of this article is to analyze the famous 'Lives of the Monks of Palestine', i.e. that of Cyril of Scythopolis (around 525-558) in the view of 'Rangpredikaten'. It was tested in it if Cyril in his work used 'Rangpredikaten' as standard expressions connected with a specific function performed by a particular person or whether this way he expressed his attitude towards the heroes of his work. The analysis included the group personifying the highest level of authority in the State, i.e. the emperors who, as a rule, were entitled to 'Rangpredikaten' and whose biographies and religious views are known better than those of office workers or bishops. In Cyril's Lives appear as many as 17 emperors like Constantius, Julian, Gratian, Valens, Valentinian, Theodosius I, Arcadius, Honorius, Theodosius II, Marcian, Leo I, Leo II, Zeno, Basiliscus, Anastasius, Justin and Justinian. The analysis showed Cyril's of Scythopolis naming particular rulers with a positive epithet was first of all dependent on the their religious views. If they were in accordance with Chalcedonian and anti-Origenistic attitude of the author, then they could count on a positive evaluation. All the emperors that adopted the chalcedonian faith, i.e. Marcian, Leo I, Justinian are at least once given a honorable expression whereas Zeno, Basiliscus and Anastasius could not count on positive assessments. The last one, because of his active anti-Chalcedonian policy received a very negative evaluation. The most positive figure presented in the 'Lives' is Justynian and this is because of the fact he was the emperor contemporary to the author and his pro-Chalcedonian and especially his anti-Origenistic attitude that was so important for Cyril in connection with the origenistic conflict among Palestinian monks in his times. The above analysis indicates that the Late Ancient authors of hagiographic works may through the use of 'Rangpredikaten' not only adapt to the conventional principles used in the official titles but also show his attitude particularly to the already deceased.4414
Between Historical Knowledge and Literary Criticism. The Geographer Marcian of Heraclea
No full textInternational audienceMarcian of Heraclaea is a Greek author of the 4th-5th century ad, mostly known asan epitomizer of ancient geographical works. This highly educated geographer assigns an extraordinary importance to the chronological relationship between different authors. That leads him to analyze the works of his predecessors not only on a literary ground but also on a historical one. This can be shown from his interpretation of Pseudo-Skylax’s Periplous, a text that Marcianus found anonymous and interpreted as a work of the Persian admiral Skylax of Caryand (6th century bc), mainly taking into account his flaws and interpreting them as a sign of the antiquity of the text

Cerebellar Dysfunction and Ataxia in Patients with Epilepsy: Coincidence, Consequence, or Cause?
No full textBasic epilepsy teachings assert that seizures arise from the cerebral cortex, glossing over infratentorial structures such as the cerebellum that are believed to modulate rather than generate seizures. Nonetheless, ataxia and other clinical findings in epileptic patients are slowly but inevitably drawing attention to this neural node. Tracing the evolution of this line of inquiry from the observed coincidence of cerebellar atrophy and cerebellar dysfunction (most apparently manifested as ataxia) in epilepsy to their close association, this review considers converging clinical, physiological, histological, and neuroimaging evidence that support incorporating the cerebellum into epilepsy pathology. We examine reports of still controversial cerebellar epilepsy, studies of cerebellar stimulation alleviating paroxysmal epileptic activity, studies and case reports of cerebellar lesions directly associated with seizures, and conditions in which ataxia is accompanied by epileptic seizures. Finally, the review substantiates the role of this complex brain structure in epilepsy whether by coincidence, as a consequence of deleterious cortical epileptic activity or antiepileptic drugs, or the very cause of the disease.Erratum published July 15, 2016</p
