Abstract

In Making Mesopotamia: Geography and Empire in a Romano-Iranian Borderland , Hamish Cameron examines the representation of the Mesopotamian Borderland in the geographical writing of Strabo, Pliny the Elder, Claudius Ptolemy, the anonymous Expositio Totius Mundi, and Ammianus Marcellinus. This inter-imperial borderland between the Roman Empire and the Arsacid and Sasanid Empires provided fertile ground for Roman geographical writers to articulate their ideas about space, boundaries, and imperial power. By examining these geographical descriptions, Hamish Cameron shows how each author constructed an image of Mesopotamia in keeping with the goals and context of their own work, while collectively creating a vision of Mesopotamia as a borderland space of movement, inter-imperial tension, and global engagement.

Abstract

Literary Territories introudces readers to a wide range of literature from 200-900 CE in which geography is a defining principle of literary art. From accounts of Holy Land pilgrimage to Roman mapmaking and the systematization of Ptolemy's scientific works, Literary Territories argues that forms of literature that were conceived and produced in very different environments and for different purposes in Late Antiquity nevertheless shared an aesthetic sensibility which treated the classical "inhabited world," the oikoumenē, as a literary metaphor for the collection and organization of knowledge. This type of "cartographical thinking" stresses the world of knowledge that is encapsulated in the literary archive. The archival aesthetic coincided with an explosion of late antique travel and Christian pilgrimage which in itself suggests important unifying themes between visual and textual conceptions of space. Indeed, by the end of Late Antiquity the geographical mode appears in nearly every type of writing in multiple Christian languages (Greek, Latin, Syriac, and others). The diffusion of cartographical thinking throughout the real-world oikoumenē, now the Christian Roman Empire, was a fundamental intellectual trajectory of Late Antiquity. -- from dust jacket.

Abstract

Poème géographique composé dans le troisième quart du IVe siècle ap. J.-C., l’Ora maritima se présente, pour sa partie conservée, comme une description des régions côtières depuis les Colonnes d’Hercule (détroit de Gibraltar) jusqu’à Marseille, avec un excursus initial vers l’Extrême Occident et un second le long du cours du Rhône. Amateur de connaissances livresques anciennes et de sources rares, Aviénus présente un monde archaïque oublié, agrémenté de toponymes et d’ethnonymes en grande partie inconnus par ailleurs, ce qui a suscité l’intérêt des historiens et des archéologues. En outre, en bon connaisseur de la poésie grecque et latine, il recourt au trimètre iambique, réminiscence d’une tradition didactique hellénistique, et agrémente son poème d’échos intertextuels conformément à l’esthétique de son temps. En situant Aviénus dans son contexte intellectuel, ce volume entend rendre à l’auteur une originalité trop souvent estompée par le seul débat sur le statut de ses sources. La nouvelle édition critique de ce poème latin sans témoin manuscrit conservé prend pour point de départ le texte de l’édition princeps (parue à Venise en 1488), tout en examinant les nombreuses corrections et hypothèses interprétatives formulées par les érudits pendant cinq siècles. Le commentaire cherche à adopter des approches complémentaires (philologique, littéraire, historique, géographique, archéologique…) permettant de rendre compte de la richesse d’un texte qui pourra intéresser des spécialistes de différents champs disciplinaires
