VALIS (The Audiobooks of Strange Dead Cats, Part 1)
I recently listened to two science fiction books with religious themes as audiobooks. One is Phillip K. Dick’s VALIS, and the other is Michel Faber’s The Book of Strange New Things. What follows in this post and the next will contain spoilers about both, but hopefully not such as will ruin anyone’s enjoyment of either. After all, […]

Thefts from Archaeological Stores and Museums
One observable phenomenon in recent years has been that some recovered material was derived, not from an unexcavated archaeological site, but from archaeological museums and stores. This is explored in my latest column, 'Context Matters', for The Journal of Art Crime 20 (Fall 2018), entitled 'Thefts from museums and archaeological stores'. While many of the pieces come from collections in Italy, others are recorded from Greece, Egypt, and Libya.

From my diary – The “upgrade” that destroys your website
WordPress has pretty much conquered the world, as far as blog engines are concerned. Who uses anything else now? Fortunately, to the best of my knowledge, WordPress has not adopted the evil practices of other ‘net monopolies and started to censor content for political reasons. But the monopoly cannot be good for any of us.
I noticed a few days ago that my blog menu no longer works on my Android smartphone. My theme – underskeleton – did once! But somewhere along the WordPress update schedule, the developers broke it. Nor is this the first time. I had to move away from my original theme “unnamed” for the same reason. “Underskeleton” has not been updated in a year, so plainly it is time to move. But to what?
Most WordPress themes these days seem to be aimed at websites, not blogs. The WordPress standard themes are no better.
I have just spent an hour experimenting with themes until my patience was exhausted. What I want is simple enough – two columns, my pages not treated as navigation, the side panel accessible on mobile, a header image, and reasonable typography. But I was unable to find anything I liked.
During the week someone mentioned to me how complicated it is becoming to create web content. There are a million options, and even those of us who are IT professionals are drowning in the flow of information. Yet at the same time simple things become impossible.
It’s very like how Microsoft have destroyed Visual Basic. You just can’t get simple stuff done these days.
Likewise the Contact Form 7 is broken. I’ve used it for years. But the last update played havoc, and sent me loads of spam. Why???! I fell back on my old Tertullian.org feedback form. This too has had its vicissitudes – the endless upgrades to perl on the server keep removing support for bits of code that I used when I wrote it. But mostly I can fix it easily. WordPress on the other hand is a monster.
I sat down here over an hour ago to write a post on Cotelerius. Instead I’ve been messing with techno-rubbish.
Thank you, WordPress.

Cotelerius on Pope Julius and Cyril of Jerusalem
In my last post I looked into John of Nicaea – or John of Nike, as we ought to call him – and found the full version of the De nativitate Dei text that Migne quoted briefly in the PG 33 to show that Cyril of Jerusalem wrote to Pope Julius I to find out the day of Christ’s birthday. The story was spurious, of course, and I discussed it in the Dubious Claims post.
Migne also quoted another version of the story, with a reference to Cotelier, Patres Apostolici, i.316 (1724). Let us see, then, what the original has to say.
It is easy enough to find the Cotelier volume, so long as you ignore the title above and search for “SS. Patrum qui temporibus apostolicis floruerunt, Barnabae, Clementis”…, the actual title of the work, and use Cotelerius, the Latinized form. The 17-18th century habit of giving books very long names, which inevitably were abbreviated, is a problem until you are aware of it; whereupon you search for the author on Google, and hope to find what his works were, and so guess at the real title. The 1724 edition is a reprint, but volume 1, p.316 is here.
The passage is again longer than Migne prints, which ended with “…among many a murmur arose”, three lines from the bottom of column 1 in the page image above. The continuation tells us that Gregory the Theologian quelled the objections to dividing the festival into two parts.
But even this longer passage clearly has been abbreviated. Where does it come from?
Well, Cotelier tells us that it comes from a Paris manuscript, with the shelfmark “Regius 969”. This is the shelfmark in the old royal library. Of course the modern Bibliothèque Nationale Français has its own system.
Older literature often uses old shelfmarks. The BNF online catalogue is not bad, but a search for “Regius 969” drew blank. Fortunately Cotelier tells us that the “John of Nicaea” letter was edited by Combefis: “And in ms. Regius 969, from which the most learned Combefis published that work of John of Nicaea, there is another little narrative on the same subject which is not markedly different, where the bishop is called Juvenalis:…”. Page 200, note 102 of Glen L. Thompson’s book on the correspondence of Pope Julius tells us about the letter of John of Nicaea – which is in the same ms., remember – that:
…the letter, transmitted in the fifteenth century manuscript Paris, BN, gr. 900, was first edited by Combefis (1672). Coustant, who reprints (coll. 83-86) Combefis’ text, notes (col. 83f) that it was transcribed “ex codice Regio olim 696, nunc 2428, pag. 149“. The same text was taken over by Migne…
So the current shelfmark of the manuscript is BNF gr. 900. This is online here, although in a monochrome microfilm. Thompson tells us (p.201) that our fragment is found on fol. 120 of the manuscript, under the title Ἀναγκαία διήγησις (=necessaria narratio, necessary narration), and so it is.
The header in the right-column is visible even in this reproduction, followed by the Greek text printed by Cotelier.
Sadly I can’t read the Greek text – my paleography is non-existent, and the image is poor – but Thompson says it is preceded by a note that attributes it to Juvenalis.
Other short pieces precede and follow it. Here is the BNF online catalogue:
- (f.111)Anonymi de divinis mysteriis liber, e variis SS. PP. libris : Ἡ γὰρ σάρξ μου… ;
- (119 v°)Anonymi de illis qui V. Testamenti libros de hebraica lingua in græcam converterunt ;
- (120 v°)Petri Antiocheni epistola de azymis, ad Dominicum Gradensem ;
- (128 v° et 149)Joannis, Nicæni archiep., ad Zachariam, magnæ Armeniæ catholicum, epistola de Christi nativitate ;
- (135)Joannis, Hierosolymit. archiepiscopi, epistola ad Constantinum Caballinum de sacris imaginibus ;
Note however that the catalogue actually fails to mention our piece, starting on fol. 120 recto. (I have communicated this omission to the BNF).
The catalogue does make clear why our piece is here. It relates the Hebrew months to the Roman months; so naturally follows on from the anonymous item on fol. 119v.
That’s about as far as we can take this. It’s a revised item of the Pope Julius I story, in a 15th century manuscript, among a bunch of other short pieces.
I’ve uploaded the two pages of the manuscript here:
- bnf_grec_900_f120-121 (PDF)
Does anybody with better paleography than me fancy transcribing the whole of our piece, starting at the top of folio 120 and continuing down to the next header in the right-hand column of the reverse of the page?

Open Access Journal: Relegere: Studies in Religion and Reception
[Originally posted 29 August 2010. Most recently updated 22 December 2018]
Relegere: Studies in Religion and Reception
ISSN: 1179-7231
Relegere: Studies in Religion and Reception
ISSN: 1179-7231
Relegere has been established to promote and disseminate academic research on reception history, broadly understood, both within and across religious traditions.
Relegere publishes studies of the transmission, reception, and effect of religion ideas, narratives, and images, within any medium - including but not limited to oral tradition, literature, drama, poetry, film, television, digital media, and the plastic arts - in relation to any group, sub-group, or individual in any religious tradition at any point in history.
The journal has been founded on the conviction that the study of reception and religion must not limit itself to a mere cataloguing of influence or a simple recounting of the trajectories of foundational religious texts across time. Beyond this basic research, reception history needs to be more thoroughly understood on a conceptual and theoretical level; reception history must actively interrogate the taken-for-granted idea that foundational texts are somehow fixed, that their essential natures can be distinguished from their subsequent reception.
In pursuit of this goal, Relegere actively encourages methodological, theoretical, and philosophical contributions relevant to reception history and religion, whether in relation to particular case studies or as stand-alone theoretical reflections. Through the production of a coherent body of theoretical and practical reflection by and for scholars in very different fields and with very different interests, it is our hope that such an approach will facilitate a fruitful and ongoing discussion among scholars.

If You Cannot Persuade by Logic: Use Harassment
What does that mean "finish signing"? How many internauts would type "Pau...", and then go away to make a coffee and not come back to add the rest of their name and close the window in the intervening week? The organizers do not seem to get the idea. They make a proposal and set out the case for it, we read it, think about it and then if we agree add our name to their petition. We sign or do not sign because of what we think about the proposition and the way they have presented their arguments, and putting that in context of what we already know and think. In this case, the proposers have not persuaded me and I am not putting my name under it.
I am, therefore, puzzled by their insistence that I should 'finish signing'. But I think the reason they give is characteristic: Since you visited, this petition now has 1,756 supporters. Every signature helps — add your name today. So, go with the flow, be part of a group. This is a bit like the pathetically superficial people (particularly the neck-tattoo guy, number two) represented in this Sept 2016 video about Brexit voting:
After voting to leave the European Union, how is the mood in the North East 10 weeks on? #BrexitBritainpic.twitter.com/YBDTNMQEjh— BBC Look North NE&C (@BBCLN) 5 września 2016
This is what democracy has come to, people take 'decisions' on behalf of everybody else not because they have any opinion based on reflection on the facts, but because 'everybody else is doing it'.
Note also what has happened here, the petition organizers are addressing me by name, they have tracked that I visited their site, and (though I did not enter my email there) they now have access to my email address and presumably will continue pestering me to 'finish signing', until I give in and do it to stop them harassing me or until the petition closes. Well, that certainly is not going to make me a friend of the Sveriges Metallsökarförening (SMF), the largest Metal Detecting Organisation in Sweden. I invite them to read what I wrote about their ideas, and attempt to persuade me that I am wrong by showing where my reasons for not supporting their proposals are false, rather than simply pestering me:

'Arguments' for "Bringing Fair laws" for Collection-Driven Exploitation of the Archaeological Record to Sweden
 |
| Archaeology supports MD? Really? |
The first thing that one notes is the small numbers of people with Scandinavian-sounding names and writing in Swedish. Let's note the odd fact that the petition itself is written in English - so obviously they are counting on brotherly help from foreigners. Note also the verb of the title of the petition, 'bring'. Bring from outside, and bring from you-know-where. As Britain slinks off from having any meaningful position in Europe in March next year, perhaps this will - to its shame - be the only place where Britain has any influence at all in the world, poisoning the heritage debate with the unreflexive narrow object centric view of many of its archaeologists.
So there's a Russian, at least two Danes, a Pole (Igor Murawski, settled in Britain), Mr Nolan from Ireland and lots of Brits. The latter dominate the comments. This means that rather than getting an insight into what Swedish tekkies think, we see rather the standards of adult literacy that the British education system is turning out which manifests itself in the number of people commenting who cannot manage much more than an "OK", one gives his email address as a comment. One thing is clear, very few of the people signing have actually read much of the explanatory text accompanying the petition, a number of people are writing as though they think (despite what they've just been told) that 'metal detecting' is forbidden in Sweden.
Others stress how 'healthy' the hobby is (a mental throwback to DIG and NCMD propaganda from the 1980s and early 90s). Many of them stress how they are 'rescuing artefacts' from: the weather, fertilisers, bulldozers and building, the plough, and other artefact hunters. None of them mention documenting the context, the loss of which turns archaeological evidence into a loose decontextualised collectable. And that is interesting that the two archaeologists I spotted commenting (no PAS FLOs among them, yet) do not mention it either. They come from the 'other' archaeology. The first to comment was Martin Rundkvist of Umeå university in Sweden.
Martin Rundkvist 7 days agoHe sees a permit system as based on 'faulty assumptions', the same ones that underlie the 1992 European Convention on the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage and sees blind artefact hoiking as a way of 'keeping [objects] safe from agricultural erosion and nighthawk crooks'. He represents 'our heritage' however as the objects that artefact hunters hoik out, because context is destroyed by ploughing and nocturnal diggings by looters whether or not they come home with something in their pocket or not. Simply illogical and failing to address the main issue with Collection-Driven Exploitation of the Archaeological Record. This was followed a day later by remarks by one of the Ixelles Six/Helsinki Gang, Andres Dobat of Aarhus University:
The current rules are dysfunctional and based on faulty assumptions. As an archaeological research scholar, I want rules that allow Sweden's law-abiding hobbyists to contribute freely to the knowledge of our country's past, while on the other hand keeping our heritage safe from agricultural erosion and nighthawk crooks.
Andres Dobat 6 days agoRelativising Collection-Driven Exploitation of the Archaeological Record as 'just (sic) another way of entering into a dialogue with the past' is not terribly helpful. The two people that scaled the pyramids the other day to pose naked and engage in simulated sex acts there (also Danes) seem to me could also be argued as as 'just another way of entering into a dialogue with the past' and no doubt the symmetrists would say 'why not' allow anyone else just to climb the pyramid to do what they want there? Facilitate, Dr Dobat? Likewise people that find images left by previous inhabitants of the territory they now occupy offensive should surely, Mr Dobat, not be castigated for 'entering into a dialogue with the past' with a sledgehammer and explosives. But then Dr Dobat brazenly recently added his name and reputation to the object-centred assertion that pilfering archaeological evidence from sites with metal detectors and spades is not a form of damage ("In order to be considered 'cultural damage', a find and/or its associated information would have to be irretrievably lost."). I think he is totally wrong on that when we are talking about any form of Collection-Driven Exploitation of the Archaeological Record.
Responsible metal detectecting is just another way of entering into a dialogue with the past. @Riksantikvarie: Don't build fences. Educate and facilitate instead.
Yes, we need to educate and facilitate, but instead of going along with the easiest option (shoulder shrugging about knowledge theft due to Collection-Driven Exploitation of the Archaeological Record as most supporters of relic collecting are doing) we need to facilitate other, more helpful, ways by which the public can start entering into a dialogue with the past.
In Britain there used to be an amateur archaeology that was based on amateur landscape survey, earthwork surveys, hedgerow species counting, mapping, recording standing buildings, collecting oral history in their neighbourhood. Totally benign, useful, non-intrusive and non-destructive. The PAS has in effect basically destroyed that in the UK and now the English disease is spreading.

Fr. E. Consolino (éd.), Ovid in Late Antiquity
Franca Ela Consolino (éd.), Ovid in Late Antiquity, Turnhout, 2018.
Éditeur : Brepols
Collection : Studi e testi tardoantichi 16
506 p. pages
ISBN : 978-2-503-57808-8
€ 115 (excl. TVA + shipping)
2017 is the 2000th anniversary of Ovid's death, and Ovid in Late Antiquity aims to mark the occasion. This book embodies a specific approach to Ovid's oeuvre, which is not analysed in and of itself, but rather in its role as a wellspring of inspiration to which later authors would return time and again. Covering the work of a number of authors, who found their way back to Ovid via different methodological pathways, the research distilled in this book is geared towards exploring the ways in which the authors of late antiquity interacted with the poet of the Metamorphoses and with his immense, multifaceted output. The choice of this approach arose out of an awareness that the presence and influence of Ovid in late antiquity constitute aspects of the Ovidian legacy that would benefit from more in-depth exploration. The essays in this collection are intended to help bridge this gap.
