Salted fish products from the Coptic monastery at Bawit, Egypt: evidence from the bones and texts

Fish bone assemblages are described that were recently discovered in the storage area of two rooms, dated to the 7th century AD, from the monastery of Bawit, Egypt. The species composition, the reconstructed sizes of the fish and the find contexts show that this material represents pickled fish (salsamenta). This product was made in one case of medium-sized Clarias catfish, whereas another assemblage, found inside an amphora, consisted of small-sized fish, mainly cyprinids and alestiids. The latter product was stored in a Late Roman Amphora 5/6 of Palestinian origin, traditionally considered as a container for wine. The amphora was clearly re-used since the fish found in it are Nilotic species which excludes that the salsamenta came from outside Egypt. A few additional finds of fish inside amphorae were available, but due to the low number of bones it was unclear if salted fish products were stored in them. Textual information provided by ostraca and papyri from the same site shows that the monks exerted fishing activities themselves and also suggests that the production of pickled fish took place locally. One of the two Nilotic fish taxa (Labeo) that is specifically mentioned by written evidence is the most common ingredient found in the amphora with abundant fish remains. The paper ends with a brief summary of other faunal evidence for salted fish products from monastic and other historic sites in Egypt.

The Political and Artistic Program of Prince Petru Rares of Moldavia (1527-1538 and 1541-1546) and the Fresco Series Depicting the “Life of the Mother of God” in the Church of Humor Monastery

En 1993, l’église du monastère Humor et six autres églises du nord de la Moldavie (Roumanie) ont été classifiés comme patrimoine de l'UNESCO, en particulier en raison de leurs caractéristiques iconographiques et architecturales uniques. Construit au seizième siècle, le monastère Humor est devenu un riche centre religieux et culturel sous le patronage du prince Petru Rares de Moldavie. Ce centre a encouragé les innovations architecturales ecclésiales, ainsi qu’un programme très prolifique de fresques, extérieures et intérieures, exprimant une créativité au-delà du canon de la peinture de l'époque. La présente thèse est concentrée sur ces innovations architecturales et iconographiques, comprises à la lumière du contexte historique de ce moment unique dans l'histoire de la Moldavie, dans le siècle qui suivit la chute de Constantinople (1453). Tandis que la première partie de la thèse est concentrée sur ces circonstances historiques, et plus précisément sur l'impact du patronage du Prince Rares, la deuxième partie de la recherche est concentrée sur l'analyse des sources littéraires et de la théologie d’une série unique de fresques, placé dans la gropnita (chambre funéraire) de l’église monastique d’Humor, évoquant la vie de la Mère de Dieu. La série est un exemple extraordinaire d’interaction des textes, le Protévangile de Jacques et le Synaxarion, avec l'iconographie. Une attention particulière à l'iconographie du monastère Humor démontre le besoin de la corrélation entre texte et icône d'une part, ainsi que la nécessité d’une corrélation entre les études théologiques, l'art et l’histoire d’autre part. Un autre avantage de la recherche est de contribuer à une appréciation plus riche des trésors culturels et religieux des communautés chrétiennes de l'Europe de l'Est aux points de vue religieux et culturel, en réponse à leur reconnaissance comme patrimoine de l’UNESCO.

Decreto de 16 de diciembre de 1943 por el que se crea la Universidad de Verano de La Rábida.

Debido al resurgimiento de la cultura hispano-americana, se decide crear por Decreto la 'Universidad de Verano de La Rábida' en Sevilla, con el fin de que ésta recogiera las labores realizadas por la Universidad de Sevilla, la Escuela de Estudios Hispano-Americanos y la delegación en Sevilla del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, en torno a los estudios hispanoamericanos.

La actividad cultural de España durante el estío : cursos de verano en las Universidades de La Rábida, Santander, Oviedo, Santiago y Jaca.

Se analizan los diversos cursos de verano celebrados en 1945 en varias Universidades españolas, sus sesiones de apertura, las autoridades invitadas a los diversos eventos, los discursos allí pronunciados y el seguimiento de los cursos en general. En la Universidad de Santa María de La Rábida, se impartió el curso 'Las Indias del siglo XVIII'. En la Universidad de Santander tuvo lugar, bajo la atención de estudiantes llegados de doce países diferentes y bajo la organización del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, cursos sobre Lengua y Literatura españolas, Historia de España, Arte Español y Folklore. También en Santander se celebró en el Instituto 'San José de Calasanz', un curso sobre Pedagogía. En la Universidad de Oviedo tuvo lugar un curso monográfico sobre el polígrafo Francisco de Quevedo. En la Universidad de verano de Jaca, un curso sobre Derecho Aragonés. Dos semanas de estudios superiores eclesiásticos en Madrid. Y por último, un curso de verano sobre cultura española en la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela.

Cursos universitarios en La Rábida y Jaca.

Se proporciona una relación de los cursos universitarios 1945-1946, de la Universidad de Verano de La Rábida, relacionada con el Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas y la Universidad de Sevilla y los cursos ofrecidos por la Universidad Pirenaica de Jaca, también organizados por el Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas y por la Universidad de Zaragoza. Los de la Universidad de La Rábida iban dirigidos, preferentemente a estudiantes hispanoamericanos y el tema bajo el que se encuadraban era 'América durante la independencia y Edad Contemporánea' y en total eran ciento catorce las conferencias que se dictarían. Por su parte, la Universidad de Jaca tenía previstos celebrar cursos de Lengua, Literatura, Historia y Arte español, y otras de carácter general de Literatura aragonesa, Geografía y Geología y folklore.

Mummies and skeletons from the Coptic monastery complex Deir el-Bachit in Thebes-west, Egypt

Deir el-Bachit is the largest known Coptic monastery complex in Thebes-West. It dates to the Late Antiquity period between the 6th and the beginning of the 10th century AD. So far, at least 26 individuals from the site were analysed anthropologically. 22 of them were excavated directly at the necropolis, the other 4 are special burials that were found at other locations nearby.Most individuals from the necropolis are male adults. There are two categories of human remains: “mummified” and “skeletonised”. The differences are probably due to social stratification. A substance similar to bitumen was found at the mummies. At that time, resin containing oils and bitumen were normally not used any more. One of the Special burials was an approximately three years old child which was found enclosed within a wall. Another special burial was a juvenile or young adult female who was found in the vault of an abandoned granary. The female was most likely pregnant and fell victim to a violent crime. This is indicated by the bones of a six months old foetus and an intravital skull fracture. She was no contemporary from the time the monastery was cultivated but was later deposited in this area.
