Iulius Africanus (3rd cent.) is a fascinating writer in a period of transition. Widely travelled, he belongs to the intellectual élite of the second sophistic. His two main works present a similar encyclopedic approach, but very different contents. He can be considered the “father of Christian chronography”, since he authored the first Christian world chronicle (Chronographiae). However, he also wrote a comprehensive and multifaceted manual of many fields of knowledge, where the religious character is open to debate. The preserved fragments of the Cesti treat military, technical, medical and many other topics. These texts are presented in an entirely new critical edition. The transmission of the texts as well as questions of authenticity are highly complex. Compared to the previous edition (Vieillefond 1970), considerable progress has been reached in terms of both, quantity and quality of the material. Hitherto unknown texts have been included, and in the case of dubious authorship all necessary information is provided for a realistic picture of the transmission. In the introduction, all relevant channels of transmission are discussed. The edition is accompanied by notes and a new English translation.

Iulius Africanus has rightly been called the "Father of Christian Chronography". His world chronicle is one of the few works of Christian literature pioneering a new genre. Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages mainly articulated their reflection on history in the form of the world chronicle. The work has not been preserved in its entirety; the extant fragments have to be laboriously pieced together from the works of later authors. To date, there has not been a critical edition of this material, and the edition in use today dates back nearly 200 years (J.M. Routh 1814). This new edition in the GCS series closes an old gap in the programme of this series - and at the same time marks a new beginning, because this is the first edition ever in this series to be published with an English translation. The edition establishes a completely new foundation for our knowledge of Early Christian historical thinking, and in addition provides an important component in our understanding of an important epoch, the "Imperial Crisis" of the 3rd century, in which the new world of Late Antiquity began to develop out of the Hellenic-Roman heritage.

*The Seleucid Empire was a superpower of the Hellenistic Age, the largest and most powerful of the Successor States, and it’s army was central to the maintenance of that power. Antiochus III campaigned, generally successfully, from the Mediterranean to India, earning the sobriquet 'the Great'. Jean Charl Du Plessis has produced the most in depth study available in English devoted to the troop types, weapons and armor of Antiochus’ army. He combines the most recent historical research and latest archaeological evidence with a strong element of reconstructive archaeology, that is the making and using of replica equipment. Sections cover the regular, Hellenistic-style core of the army, the auxiliaries from across the Empire and mercenaries, as well as the terror weapons of elephants and scythed chariots. Weapons and armor considered in great detail, including, for example, useful data on the performance of slings and the wounds they could inflict, drawing on modern testing and the author’s own experience. The army’s performance in its many battles, sieges and campaigns is analysed and assessed.

In many near eastern traditions, including Christianity, Judaism and Islam, demons have appeared as a cause of illness from ancient times until at least the early modern period. This volume explores the relationship between demons, illness and treatment comparatively. Its twenty chapters range from Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt to early modern Europe, and include studies of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They discuss the relationship between ‘demonic’ illnesses and wider ideas about illness, medicine, magic, and the supernatural. A further theme of the volume is the value of treating a wide variety of periods and places, using a comparative approach, and this is highlighted particularly in the volume’s Introduction and Afterword. The chapters originated in an international conference held in 2013. "Ultimately, Demons and Illness admirably performs the important task of reminding modern scholars of premodern health of the integral role played by these complex and shifting entities in the lives of people across the globe and through the centuries." -Rachel Podd, Fordham University, in: Social History of Medicine 32.3 (2019) "Given the sheer breadth of its scope, the volume is, of course, illustrative rather than comprehensive in its coverage, yet there is a definite coherence to its content, aided by the introduction and afterword which bookend the work and help begin to draw out the threads of commonality and difference. As such it constitutes a significant and welcome resource for comparative explorations of historical-cultural links between demons, illness, medicine, and magic, while offering a clear invitation to future work." -Matthew A. Collins, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament 43.5 (2019)

Die Übernahme der antiken landwirtschaftlichen Literatur durch die Araber ist bisher als kulturgeschichtliches Phänomen kaum untersucht worden, da alle spätantiken Vorlagen auf griechisch verlorengegangen sind und die arabischen Übersetzungen überhaupt nicht oder nur unzulänglich ediert worden sind. Das vorliegende Werk befaßt sich, ausgehend von der historischen Verortung der arabischen Übernahme der antiken landwirtschaftlichen Literatur, die innerhalb des Rezeptionsprozesses der antiken Fachliteratur viele Besonderheiten aufweist, zunächst mit der komplexen Quellenfrage und rekonstruiert die Überlieferungsgeschichte. Die Rekonstruktion der arabischen Tradition zeigt nicht nur die Bedeutung dieser Übersetzungen für die arabische landwirtschaftliche Literatur auf, sondern ermöglicht es erstmals, die vexata quaestio der Genese der byzantinischen Geoponika, einer hauptsächlich auf den beiden verlorenen Werken des Anatolios (4./5. Jh.) und des Kassianos Bassos (6. Jh.) fußenden Kompilation aus dem 10. Jh., mit Hilfe der orientalischen Überlieferung gründlich zu erhellen. Dieser als Einführung zur Edition des Anatolius Arabicus gedachte Prolegomena-Band ist daher sowohl für Altertumswissenschaftler als auch für Orientalisten von Nutzen.

Christentum und Buch – das ist mehr als eine oberflächliche Beziehung. Die Geschichte beider ist etwa gleich alt: Der Aufstieg des Christentums und die Durchsetzung des Kodex erfolgten in der Spätantike. Es gibt auch inhaltliche Bezüge, machte sich doch das Christentum das neue Medium früh zunutze. Das Neue Testament kursierte von Anfang an in dieser Form. Umgekehrt prägte das Medium die Religion. Das gilt etwa für den „Kanon“ – ein Schlüsselbegriff des spätantiken Christentums. Der Begriff bezeichnet nicht nur eine Gruppe autoritativer Schriften, sondern hat auch die wörtliche Bedeutung „Tabelle“, bezeichnet also eine Organisations- und Visualisierungsform von Wissen. Ein prominentes Beispiel sind die „Kanontafeln“ des Euseb, eine tabellarische Synopse der Evangelien. Die nüchternen Tabellen wurden künstlerisch prezios ausgestaltet und trugen zur Sakralisierung des Kodex und des Kanons wesentlich bei. Dass das christliche Buch am Ausgang der Antike nicht nur Zeichen enthält, sondern selbst zum Zeichen wird, verdankt es nicht zuletzt der Aufladung mit ästhetischer und religiöser Energie. In diesem Sinne als „Gesamtkunstwerk“ verstanden, prägte es auch den Prozess der Schriftwerdung des Korans.
