La cathédrale de Paulin de Tyr décrite par Eusèbe de Césarée : mythe ou réalité ?

Februar 4, 2015, 3:43 pm, Antiquité Tardive, Antiquité Tardive.

The qualities of construction attested in the archeological remains of the impressive and well decorated church now named “Basilica of Quarter sand” in Tyre (formerly known under the name “Basilica of the Quarter Hajj Qaafarani”), have raised debates for the identification of this church with the cathedral mentioned by Eusebius of Caesarea in the famous panegyric included in his Ecclesiastical History (Book 10, Chap. 4), and delivered in 313-314 under the aegis of bishop Paulinus of Tyre. But recent epigraphic and topographic studies, C14 analysis and other archaeological discoveries, confronted with Eusebius’ panegyric, give us data in order not to identify Paulinus’s cathedral with the remains of “Basilica of Quarter Sand”; and, in contrary, to propose the identification of the latter, which seemingly had martyrial and funerary functions, with the Saint Mary of Swamp mentioned in the Acts of the Synod held under the aegis of Epiphanius of Tyre on September 16th of 518.

En suivant Eusèbe au Saint-Sépulcre

Februar 4, 2015, 3:43 pm, Antiquité Tardive, Antiquité Tardive.

The text where Eusebius gives a description of the Holy Sepulchre is not clear in all its details. This article addresses some of the open questions: was Constantine looking for the tomb of Christ, when he decided to build this church in Jerusalem? Was the so-called Anastasis part of the Constantinian programme or was it a later addition? Some details of the description of the “martyrion”, or the basilica, need also some further explanation. Finally, why does Eusebius not say anything about the True Cross and the Rock of the Calvary? The proposed answers for the main question are: Constantine was not looking for the tomb; the Anastasis was built at the same time, but may be as the last part of the programme. The True Cross was not yet discovered and, in the course of the work, the Rock of the Calvary was identified as such, but did not get an architectural frame.

Pourquoi Eusèbe ne mentionne-t-il pas le martyre de Piérios ?

Februar 4, 2015, 3:43 pm, Antiquité Tardive, Antiquité Tardive.

Eusebius’ silence on the martyrdom of Pierius, documented by the Apology of Phileas, bishop of Thmouis, may give some substance to allegations of weakness during the Tetrarchic prosecutions, launched against him in a later period.

Quelques remarques sur la manière dont Eusèbe construit la littérature chrétienne dans son Histoire ecclésiastique

Februar 4, 2015, 3:43 pm, Antiquité Tardive, Antiquité Tardive.

Eusebius never refers to non-Christian writers in his Ecclesiastical History, except for Porphyry on Origen in book 6 and Josephus and Philo in the first books in order to confirm what he has already based on Christian sources. In book 2, where the history of the Church proper begins, Eusebius writes a story based on what he holds as Scripture and he confirms some elements of it by drawing on Jewish and Christian non-canonical texts. In the following books, he draws on “ecclesiastical writers”, viz. the authors he considers as orthodox. In order to affirm or to refute the “testamentary” authority of a text, Eusebius never appeals to oral tradition but only to the writings of ecclesiastical authors. He places in the reign of Trajan the death of the last apostles and the beginning of heresies, making that reign a crucial turning point in Church history. It is no coincidence that he assigns to the same period the letters of Ignatius of Antioch, in which he is interested mainly because of their polemics against heresy. They mark for him the beginning of Christian literature, which has to be faithful to apostolic writings and update their teaching in the struggle against heresies. In this way Eusebius creates an intrinsic connection between ecclesiastical history and ecclesiastical literature.

L’Histoire ecclésiastique d’Eusèbe ou la présence des œuvres perdues

Februar 4, 2015, 3:43 pm, Antiquité Tardive, Antiquité Tardive.

A commentary on the Ecclesiastical History of Eusebius requires a discussion of the text as a memorial work, and its examination from the perspective of Cultural History, so dear to the Anglo-Saxons. Indeed, the Ecclesiastical History goes beyond a mere collection of extant documentation: it skillfully interweaves quotations and allusions so as to present them as meaningful literary / historical traces. The disposition of these traces, along with some literary / historical grey areas that they tend to produce, has had unfortunate consequences on subsequent research, which has tried to make the text into something that it is not. Thus, there is all the more reason to re-examine these traces – which this article can only outline – while also heeding the silences in the text where Eusebius allowed his Ecclesiastical History to resonate with the lack of certain documents that he could not access.

Visual culture and paideia: the triumph of the theatre, revisiting the Late Antique mosaic of Noheda

Februar 4, 2014, 5:48 pm, Antiquité Tardive, Antiquité Tardive.

Cet article propose une nouvelle perspective interprétative de la mosaïque de l’Antiquité tardive récemment découverte dans la ville de Noheda (Cuenca, Espagne). L’objectif est d’examiner l’agencement des panneaux qui composent le décor de la grande salle triconche du site et de proposer parallèlement une lecture alternative aux travaux antérieurs qui ont placé les scènes représentées dans le cadre des affrontements religieux païens ou encore dans celui d’initiations ou de significations allégoriques. Du point de vue adopté dans cette étude, on considère au contraire que cette mosaïque correspond au pavement d’une structure architectonique qui peut être identifiée à la salle de réception d’une uilla de l’élite théodosienne. À l’appui de cette nouvelle thèse, une attention particulière est portée aux liens de la structure narrative des panneaux à mosaïque, notamment ceux à caractère théâtral, ainsi qu’à une lecture de la paideía, le système éducatif ancient partagé par l’élite païenne et chrétiene. Par ailleurs, une identification soucieuse de certains traits iconographiques (gestes, attributs, procédés créatifs que l’on retrouve dans d’autres arts tardifs, etc.), permet d’envisager l’existence d’une comparaison visuelle et dialectique entre les trois principaux genres dramatiques de l’Antiquité tardive: mime, pantomime et tragédie. Enfin, est abordée la question de la construction d’un programme iconographique autour du triomphe du théâtre.

Païens et chrétiens au ive siècle : points de résistance à une doxa

Februar 4, 2014, 5:48 pm, Antiquité Tardive, Antiquité Tardive.

In some recent publications the idea (in fact a doxa) that Pagans and Christians were not in conflict during the 4th century is badly weakened by new arguments that are worthwhile considering. We present here an overview of this new literature, together with our own work, and will attempt to place the controversy within broader perspectives.

Regards nouveaux sur le trésor de Nagyszentmiklós, à la suite d’une publication majeure

Februar 4, 2014, 5:48 pm, Antiquité Tardive, Antiquité Tardive.

The hoard of Nagyszentmiklós (present-day Sânnicolau Mare, Rumania), discovered in 1799, enriched the collections of Vienna with an unusual set of twenty-one gold vessels including jugs, plates and drinking cups, of which some were made into strange animal shapes and most of them were covered by figures in a vegetal back-ground. The new publication of Csanád Bálint is the result of a lifetime of research. Past works on the hoard concentrated on the question of its ethnic attribution. Cs. Bálint explains why most of the scholars discuss it now as the highest production quality of the Late Avar goldsmiths (around the 8th century AD). But the main contribution of Cs. Bálint is the interesting cultural questions that such a princely hoard buried by a largely settled semi-nomadic chieftain-type society dwelling on the borders of the Byzantine Empire implies. Contradicting most of his predecessors, he shows the weaknesses of the ‘migrationist’ theories that stressed the ‘Oriental’ character of this art and focuses on its development largely after the settlement of the Avars on the periphery of the Byzantine Empire, which provided much of the artistic and technical models for this assemblage.
