P. Buzi & A. Camplani (eds.), Christianity in Egypt (Festschrift T. Orlandi)


P. Buzi & A. Camplani (eds.), Christianity in Egypt: Literary Production and Intellectual Trends in Late Antiquity. Studies in honor of Tito Orlandi

Studia Ephemeridis Augustinianum 125, Institutum Patristicum Augustinianum, Roma 2011, 

20 gennaio 2012

    

"Christianity in Egypt: Literary Production and Intellectual Trends" collects papers offered to Tito Orlandi, in order to celebrate his long and fruitful academic and scientific life. Scholars of Coptic Egypt, who, in various ways, have interacted with him, offer a contribution on Christian Egypt and Coptic literary production. This volume has the ambition to be in line with Tito Orlandi's diverse efforts and includes the publication of partially or totally inedited texts, such as the new Ethiopic version of Traditio apostolica (A. Bausi), or the Allocutio ad monachos attributed to Athanasius (A. Boud'hors), the reconstruction of Coptic codices and texts with an analysis of related cultural and linguistic problems (B. Layton, E. Lucchesi, A. Suciu – E. Thomassen, S. Torallas-Tovar); considerations about the Coptic manuscript tradition (P. Buzi), the codicological method (S. Emmel), Coptic literature in relation with Greek patristic literature and Greek rhetoric (S. Voicu, M. Sheridan), as well as the presentation of new research studies in hagiography (H. Behlmer, D. Johnson) and liturgy in its connection with magic and apocryphal literature (J. van der Vliet). Some essays are tied to Tito Orlandi's traditional interest in Coptic history and historiography (Ph. Blaudeau, A. Camplani, J. den Heijer – P. Pilette, M. Simonetti, E. Wipszycka), others, on the base of his critical investigations and editorial activity on monastic and theological texts, deal with monastic exegesis and spirituality (Th. Baumeister, D. Bumazhnov, J.E. Goehring, J. Timbie) and Alexandrian hermeneutics and theology (E. Prinzivalli), while the contributions on Gnosticism are connected to his attention to Gnostic texts (C. Gianotto, G. Lettieri, J.D. Turner). At the end are to be mentioned the essays offered by eminent Egyptologists on Coptic papyri (S. Donadoni) classical Egyptology (S. Pernigotti), and archaeology (E. Bresciani).

July 2-31, 2012: Papyrological Institute at the University of Chicago

Papyrological Institute at the University of Chicago 
July 2 - 31, 2012
An intensive summer institute in papyrology, jointly sponsored by the Departments of Classics of the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will be held on the campus of the University of Chicago in the summer of 2012.  The program is aimed at advanced graduate students and junior faculty in Classics and associated fields, including history, Egyptology, classical and Near Eastern archaeology, history of religions, and biblical studies.  The general theme of the 2012 papyrological institute is “Religion, Magic, and Early Christianity in the Papyri.” The primary materials will consist of Greek literary and documentary papyri from Roman and early byzantine Egypt on loan from the University of Michigan collection.
The 2012 institute is the seventh in a series of intensive summer programs held under the aegis of the American Society of Papyrologists.  In keeping with the goals of previous years, the institute aims to provide participating scholars with direct experience of the papyri through close reading of individual texts, and with knowledge of the field of papyrology in general, so that they may employ this knowledge effectively in conducting their own future research and teaching.
The summer institute will offer a combination of lectures and first-hand experience working with original textual materials. Students are expected to participate actively in all of the institute’s programs and activities; a full-time commitment is required while the institute is in session. Mornings will be dedicated to introductory lectures by the principal instructors, Professor James G. Keenan (Loyola University of Chicago), Director, and Professors David Martinez (University of Chicago), Maryline Parca (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), and Peter van Minnen (University of Cincinnati).  Afternoons will be devoted to advanced coursework, to workshops on select papyri, and to individual research.  A series of guest lectures on topics related to the theme of the seminar will supplement the core presentations. 
Admission to the summer papyrological institute is by application only, and approximately ten scholars will be selected to participate.  Although previous experience with papyrology is not required, a high degree of competence in ancient Greek is essential. Participation in the institute is free of charge (no tuition) and not for credit.  We anticipate offering modest grants for travel and/or living expenses, but applicants are expected to seek financial support from their home institutions, and from other sources, to facilitate their participation.  The American Society of Papyrologists will deliver a certificate of participation to those completing the institute.  Neither grades nor transcripts will be issued.
Application procedure: The application consists of the completed application form (http://www.papyrology.org), a curriculum vitae, and two letters of recommendation.  All materials must be received by March 1, 2012 in order to be given full consideration.  Notification of decisions will be issued in late March.
Send application materials to Prof. David Martinez at the following address:

Description

President of the Archaeological Institute of America, professor at the University of Michigan from 1889 to 1927, and president of the American Philological Association, Francis Kelsey was crucially involved in the founding or growth of major educational institutions. He came to maturity in a period of great technological change in communications, transportation, and manufacturing. Kelsey took full advantage of such innovations in his ceaseless drive to promote education for all, to further the expansion of knowledge, and to champion the benefits of the study of antiquity.
A vigorous traveler around the United States, Europe, and the Mediterranean, Kelsey strongly believed in the value of personally viewing sites ancient and modern and collecting artifacts that could be used by the new museums and universities that were springing up in the United States. This collecting habit put him in touch with major financiers of the day, including Charles Freer, Andrew Carnegie, and J. P. Morgan, as he sought their help for important projects.
Drawing heavily on Kelsey's daily diaries now held at the University of Michigan's Bentley Historical Library, John Griffiths Pedley gives us a biography that records the wide-ranging activities of a gifted and energetic scholar whose achievements mirrored the creative and contributive innovations of his contemporary Americans.
"Best known today for the museum that bears his name, Francis W. Kelsey is vividly brought to life in this thoroughly researched biography that meticulously conveys his unbounded energy and remarkable achievements as archaeologist, philologist, educator, author, editor, administrator, fund-raiser, campus planner, businessman, refugee advocate, and so much more. The indefatigable Kelsey was ahead of his time in insisting that the ancient world be studied and taught in its broadest contexts, and Pedley presents his subject in the same light, providing a richly detailed account of the many sides of this pioneering American intellectual in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries."
—Kenneth Lapatin, Associate Curator of Antiquities, J. Paul Getty Museum

"How do universities make the world a better place? What should be the balance between teaching and research? What is the balance between private philanthropy and public funding? What role do the arts and humanities play in a modern society? We follow these issues, and more, in John Pedley's authoritative and beautifully written life of Francis Kelsey, classical scholar, educator, educational entrepreneur, and humanist in the broadest sense of the word. One of the towering figures of early twentieth-century American academe, Michigan's Francis Kelsey transformed Classical Studies in North America, and he transformed the University of Michigan in the broader world through his work with schools in the United States and young victims of the First World War in Europe. In so doing, he offered an example of an ultimately engaged life. The story of Francis Kelsey is not simply the story of an extraordinary man, it is the story of how modern American universities can reach their own fullest potential."
—David Potter, Francis W. Kelsey Collegiate Professor of Greek and Roman History and Arthur F. Thurnau Professor, University of Michigan



John Griffiths Pedley is Emeritus Professor of Classical Archaeology and Greek at the University of Michigan.
