Paradigm of the Kal. Mart. calendar, to track the nundinal day and week sequence (different from the Kal. Ian. calendar). Appended brief discussion of the Roman hyperbainic (intercalary) day, and the theory that the calendar year was changed by the Acilia edict de intercalando (192 B.C.) in order to rationalize intercalation by removing the nundinal-G/nonal omen avoidance factor
Империй и померий в Ранней Римской республике, in: Вестник РГГУ, Серия «Исторические науки». История. Кентавр. vol. 14(76)/11. М., 2011. С. 42-104.
Dealing with the concept of pomerium and its relation to the city walls and the Roman territory, the author follows Pierangelo Catalano and Jerzy Linderski in treating the pomerium as a projection of the heavenly templum designed by the augural discipline. From the religious point of view, Rome inside the pomerium could be considered a sacred space (templum) for serving to gods and recognizing their will with the help of auspicia. This concept creates certain preconditions for understanding the lex curiata de imperio which every Roman consul must to provide in the curiate assembly. After Alfred Heuss, the notion imperium has been considered in scholarship a kind of military power. Military organisation of early Rome was separated from the sacred space surrounded by the pomerium and most likely originated from the initiation practice of youth. The earliest Roman army consisted of young warriors during their initiation to adult citizens. Such a military union elected its own leader who represented the youth before the community of adult citicens. Their meeting place was outside the pomerium, and the custom became the background for the meetings of the centuriate assemblies in the Field of Mars. Curiate assemblies consisting of all adult men-citizens were gathered in the Comitium inside the pomerium. They provided the military leader of youth with the power to wage war on behalf of the Roman community that can be considered an original imperium militiae. After the so-called Servian reform of the sixth century BC, all mature citizens became soldiers and participants of the centuriate assemblies in the Field of Mars. They elected two leaders (praetors, later consuls) for the iuniores and the seniores, who then were made civil magistrates by the rituals of investiture and received imperium from the curiate assembly. The distinction between the original curiate and centuriate assemblies demonstrates why the Roman magistrate operated with imperium, given by the curiae, only outside the pomerium. The conditions for the appearance of the extraordinary imperium domi have been formed under the late Republic only.
The pivotal date of 465 BCE for the death of Xerxes has been accepted by historians for many years without notable controversy. However, according to Thucydides, a historian renowned for his high chronological accuracy, Themistocles met Artaxerxes, who had succeeded Xerxes, his father, just after the fall of Nexos (The Peloponnesian War I:98;137) which occured after the fall of Skyros dated at the beginning of the archonship of Phaedo in 476 BCE, according to Plutarch (Life of Theseus §§35,36). Thus, the meeting with Themistocles would have occurred soon after 475/474, not 465/464. The present Achaemenid chronology comes mainly from official Babylonian king lists which ignore coregents and usurpers. This official version is contradicted by contracts dated in "year, month, day" proving the existence of frequent co-regencies and usurpers. In addition, according to the astronomical tablet referenced BM 32234 the death of Xerxes is dated 14/V/21 between two lunar eclipses, one dated 14/III/21 (26 June 475 BCE), which was total, and a second dated 14/VIII/21 (20 December 475 BCE), which was partial. Thus the death of Xerxes has to be dated 24 August 475 BCE. Likewise, the death of Artaxerxes I is fixed precisely by Thucydides (The Peloponnesian War IV:50-52) just before a partial solar eclipse (21 March 424 BCE) which would imply an absurd co-regency of Darius II with a dead king for at least one year! In fact, Plutarch and Justinus have effectively described a long co-regency of Artaxerxes but with his first son Darius B (434-426), not Darius II, and afterward two shorts reigns: Xerxes II for 2 months then Sogdianus for 7 months, which occurred before the reign of Darius II. The arrangement of the intercalary months in a chronology without co-regency has several anomalies especially the presence of two months Ulul in a single cycle. By contrast, in a chronology with co-regency, and thus two distinct cycles, the abnormal intercalary month in year 30 of Darius (Persepolis) corresponds to another cycle ending in year 4 of Xerxes. The titular of Xerxes (496-475) in Egypt and the data of Diodorus confirm the co-regency of 10 years with Darius (522-486), likewise Elephantine papyri with many double dates with civil and lunar calendars. Lunar dates were supposed to come from a Babylonian calendar, but this is impossible because the city of Elephantine, in the far south of Egypt, was largely administered by Egyptian officials who used a civil calendar to date their documents. Parker (1950) assumed that the Egyptian lunar calendar began with the 1st invisibility (day after the new moon and just before the new crescent). As lunar day 1, called psdntyw "shining ones", has played a major role in Egyptian religious celebrations, it is regularly quoted in ancient documents, which sometimes also date it in the civil calendar. In the papyrus Louvre 7848 containing a double date, lunar and civil, in the year 44 of Amasis, the first date (II Shemu 13) is lunar and the second (I Shemu 15) is civil and as the civil date fell on 21 September 558 BCE the lunar date fell on 9 (= 21 – 12) September 558 BCE which was a full moon day according to astronomy, not 1st invisibility "shining ones"! The lunar calendar at Elephantine with its system of double dates used by Persians officials and Jewish scribes from 500 to 400 BCE confirms that the Egyptian lunar day 1 was a full moon.
"Chronology is the backbone of history" is usually taught in schools but in the same time the first fall of Babylon is currently fixed either in 1595 BCE or in 1651, 1531, 1499 depending on historians! Such a difference in timeline prevents from reaching the historical truth. It is for this reason that from Herodotus, the "father of history" (in fact the father of scientific and chronological inquiry), Greek historians have gradually established a system of scientific dating in order to write a universal history. Many astronomical phenomena (observed and described by Babylonian astrologers), which are well identified such as eclipses, enable anyone today (with at least an undergraduate level) to synchronize these ancient dating systems and anchor them on absolute dates. As incredible as it may seem this is still not done (among the hundreds of thousands of theses in history there is none which focuses on chronology, except the one of Isaac Newton in 1728 entitled: Chronology of ancient kingdoms amended). The purpose of the present item is to understand the origin of this anomaly and above all to give the tools for easily verifying important dates in history thanks to numerous practical examples like Jesus' birth on Monday 29 September 2 BCE, Herod's death on Monday 26 January 1 BCE, the destruction of Jerusalem's Temple on Sunday 27 August 587 BCE, the first fall of Babylon soon after April 1499 BCE, etc.

Very few Bible scholars believe now in the historicity of the book of Esther, but what is really incomprehensible is that their conclusion is based only on the following prejudice: this story looks like a fairy tale, consequently, it is a fairy tale! There is no chronological investigation despite the fact that chronology is the backbone of history and there has been no historical research among archaeological witnesses despite the fact that apart from ancient texts there is no witness. Worse still, to establish their chronology, historians have blind faith in the Babylonian king lists which are nevertheless false (reporting no usurpation and no co-regency). Additionally, in order to establish historical truth, they regularly quote the official propaganda of the time which is very often misleading. Yet it is easy to check in the tablets of Persepolis that Mordecai was an eminent royal scribe called Marduka who worked with Tatennai, the governor beyond the River, under the direction of Uštanu, the satrap of Babylon, during the years 17 to 32 of Darius. Similarly, the narrative of Herodotus regarding Amestris (a name meaning ‘vigorous woman’ in Old Persian), Xerxes' unique wife and only queen known in Persia, corresponds in many ways to Esther (‘star’ in Old Persian”) despite the unfavourable and biased description of the Persian queen. https://www.lulu.com/shop/gerard-gertoux/queen-esther-wife-of-xerxes-chronological-historical-and-archaeological-evidence/paperback/product-15egvzwr.html?q=gertoux&page=1&pageSize=4 As for the overall historicity of the book —despite widespread dismissal from skeptics— there is likewise a remarkable body of evidence for it, including the historical identity of Queen Esther herself. For more on this, read a thorough investigation by Gerard Gertoux (The Armstrong Institute of Biblical Archaeology https://armstronginstitute.org/674).

Recent scholarship on the Anglo-Saxon prognostics has tried to place these texts within the realm of folklore and medicine, inspired largely by studies and editions from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By analysing prognostic material in its manuscript context, this book offers a novel approach to the status and purpose of prognostic texts in the early Middle Ages with particular attention to the Anglo-Saxon tradition. From this perspective, it emerges that prognostication in Anglo-Saxon England was not folkloric but a scholarly pursuit by monks not primarily interested in the medical aspects of prognostication. In addition, this book offers, for the first time, a comprehensive edition of prognostics in Old English and Latin from Anglo-Saxon and early post-Conquest manuscripts.

Fifth in a series of prolegomena to IG II3 1 fasc. 2
The Trojan War is the foundation of Greek history. If Greek historians had little doubt of its existence they remained extremely skeptical regarding its mythological origin. Archaeology has confirmed one essential point: there was indeed a general conflagration in the Greek world around 1200 BCE, the assumed period of that war, which caused the disappearance of two powerful empires: Mycenaean on one hand and Hittite with its vassals on the other hand. The inscriptions of Ramses III's year 8 describe actually a general invasion of the Mediterranean by the "Sea Peoples", but without giving any reason. A precise chronological reconstruction, based on few absolute dates, shows that the annexation of the kingdom of Cyprus (Ala!ia), closely linked to the Mycenaean world, by Hittite King Tudhaliya IV (1241-1209) played a role of detonator in the confrontation between a Greek heterogeneous confederation, consisting of pirates and privateers on one side and a set of vassal kingdoms of the Hittite empire, as Troy and Ugarit, on the other. This struggle to control a vital sea path, from Crete to Egypt, via Cyprus, which ended with a complete mutual destruction in 1185 BCE, the climax of the famous Trojan War, had begun 10 years earlier. Surprisingly, this conclusion was already that of Eratosthenes (276-193). Historical and epigraphic context shows that Homer wrote his epic shortly after Queen Elissa founded Carthage (c. 870 BCE). https://www.lulu.com/shop/gerard-gertoux/the-trojan-war-chronological-historical-and-archaeological-evidence/paperback/product-22620667.html?page=1&pageSize=4

À la fois construction mentale et réalité pour les Romains, les « barbares » sont intimement liés à l’histoire de Rome au point d’apparaître comme les « barbares » des Romains – même si cette définition ne rend que partiellement compte de leurs identités. Le présent ouvrage, qui rassemble vingt-trois textes écrits entre 1984 et 2016, propose quelques repères autour de deux questions indissociables : les représentations (usages et normes, corps et visages, portraits d’ennemis) ; les confrontations (immigration, guerre et paix, christianisation). Aux études originelles ont été ajoutés des compléments et mises à jour, un post scriptum, des indices (index onomastique, index thématique, index des sources) et une bibliographie générale. Prenant dans une large mesure pour cadre l’Antiquité tardive (fin IIIe – début VIe siècle ap. J.-C.), ce livre est une contribution à une histoire de l’altérité.

Summary of the proposal by Aloysius Lilius used for the Gregorian reform of the calendar. Latin text and Italian translation.
The "Dark Ages" during which there are few or no written records are common in history and can even last for several centuries as the Greek Dark Ages (1200-750). They are a major obstacle to get an accurate reconstruction of ancient chronologies. Carbon-14 dating and the style of ceramics has led to significant improvement, but the uncertainty is still important since the first fall of Babylon is currently fixed in 1651, 1595, 1531 or 1499 BCE, depending on historians. Such a difference in timeline prevents from reaching the historical truth because chronology is the backbone of history. It is for this reason that from Herodotus, the "father of history" (in fact the father of scientific inquiry, including of chronology), Greek historians have gradually established a system of dating in order to write a universal history. Several systems have gradually been used (depending on authors): archontic years (753 BCE to 275 CE), Olympic years (776 BCE to 261 CE), consular years (509 BCE to 541 CE), etc. Some astronomical phenomena well identified, such as eclipses, now enable us to synchronize these ancient dating systems and anchor them on absolute dates. Then simply reconstruct the chronology of earlier periods (Persian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Egyptian, etc.) in the same way by dating some synchronisms by astronomy (see the file entitled: Dating the Fall of Babylon and Ur). Thus Babylonian reigns enable us dating the period from 1375 to 539 BCE, then Assyrian eponyms the one from 1873 to 609 BCE, Babylonian reigns again the one from 2243 to 1499 BCE and finally Egyptian reigns the one from 2632 to 1773 BCE.
Historians consider the biblical account of the Deluge as a myth. However, this famous event occurred at the earliest times of recorded history (Sumerian King List). Today scientists believe in the last ice age called Pleistocene ending in 10,000 BCE, but there is no witness (prehistory) of this planetary cataclysmic event and its existence is based solely on the (controversial) interpretation of its consequences and their dating. The existence of erratic blocks and the disappearance of mammoths are presented as evidence of the last glaciation, but contrary to what one might think 14C dating provides conflicting results. Dating obtained by calibrated 14C is considered absolute by most experts but confrontation with the Egyptian chronology, in which some dates are fixed by astronomy, reverses this widespread belief. The biblical and Sumerian accounts of the Deluge (in year 600 of Noah/Ziusudra) are very similar and suppose a dating around 3170 BCE according to the Septuagint. The period 3170-2800 is very poorly documented, the only remarkable event is the construction of the Tower of Babel then its abandonment and the emergence of languages. Many scholars estimate that these mythological texts have no historical value, but several Sumerian and Babylonian inscriptions have confirmed the antiquity of this ancient ziggurat and the name of its builder. In addition, Sumerian stories confirm the biblical version on four key points: a universal deluge; only one language at the origin; construction of the Tower of Babel and a sudden and simultaneous onset of languages (like Sumerian, Akkadian, Egyptian, etc.). Last controversial issue: human longevity seems to have remained constant (ca. 110 years), but contrary to what popular common sense suggests, human limits are difficult to set by science and studies on a potentially endless longevity provide amazing data in accordance with the Bible. https://www.lulu.com/shop/gerard-gertoux/noah-and-the-deluge-chronological-historical-and-archaeological-evidence/paperback/product-1mqm28d8.html?q=gertoux&page=1&pageSize=4

Conosciuta in castigliano come Seo de Urgel, sede di un’importante e antica diocesi (il cui vescovo è co-principe del confinante Principato di Andorra), La Seu d’Urgell conserva presso la Biblioteca Capitular una delle maggiori collezioni esistenti di manoscritti soprattutto giuridici. La cospicua raccolta possiede una serie di opere sconosciute o comunque assai rare, tramandando l’attività di giuristi e scuole ancora poco esplorati. In particolare costituisce una fonte di straordinaria rilevanza per la conoscenza delle università di Tolosa e di Lerida e per indagare sulla trasmissione del pensiero giuridico fra l’Italia da una parte e il Mezzogiorno della Francia e la Catalogna dall’altra. Nel catalogo sono stati dettagliatamente descritti 124 manoscritti giuridici, 29 manoscritti non giuridici e decine di piccoli frammenti; la maggior parte dei manoscritti reca decine, in alcuni casi centinaia di testi. La bibliografia riguarda non solo i manoscritti, ma anche le opere e le decine di autori sconosciuti o poco conosciuti.
The book was published in Prague in 1902.

Ce document reprend la liste des 919 titres illustrés par la photographie publiés en France entre 1867 et 1901, repérés grâce au dépouillement exhaustif de la "Bibliographie de la France", complété par quelques autres sources. Le résultat de ce recensement se présente sous la forme d'un répertoire chronologique et analytique de quelques 200 pages, qui compose le 2e chapitre de ma thèse de doctorat ("Inventer le livre illustré par la photographie en France : 1867-1897"). Ce répertoire rassemble un grand nombre d'informations que je ne saurais et ne voudrais exploiter seule ; il a donc vocation à circuler le plus largement possible, notamment auprès de ceux qu'intéresse la question des rapports de la photographie au livre, et plus généralement à l'imprimé. Par contre, il s'agit d'une version de travail. En outre, il a pris un temps assez considérable pour être élaboré. De ce fait, je vous remercie d'avance de le citer sous cette forme si vous l'exploitez : Laureline Meizel, "Inventer le livre illustré par la photographie en France : 1867-1897", Th : Hist. de l'art : Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne : 2017, Chap. 2.

Sir John Gage's political career lasted over fifty years and experienced many of the ups and downs of politics under Henry VIII, Edward VI and Mary I providing a case study of the crucial politically active county gentry upon whom the Tudor state relied. Gage has generally been neglected as a political figure even though he held some of the most important court offices and, as military technocrat, was responsible for the supply of the armies of the 1540s. Insofar as he has any reputation, it is as the staunch conservative and rather sinister figure in Protestant historiography and perhaps as a timeserver. In fact, his religious allegiance was much more fluid and his role in the factional battles of court life at once more complex and more interesting than might at first appear. This study also brings out the purely private dimension and economic activity of a courtier who inherited only a modest landed estate but was able to trade on his influence at court in order to build up a local power‐base that established his family in the long term among the leading gentry (and late peerage) of Sussex.
