Abstract:
The primary aim of this thesis is the reconstruction of a development in the history of the philosophy of language, namely an understanding of hieroglyphic Egyptian as a language uniquely adapted to the purposes and concerns of late Platonist metaphysics. There are three main reasons for this particular focus. First, the primary interest of philological criticism has emphasized the apparent shortcomings of the classical hieroglyphic tradition in light of the success of the modern decipherment endeavour. Though the Greek authors recognize a number of philologically distinctive features, they ar

Abstract:
The cult of Saturn in North Africa is prominent example of syncretism between Roman and Punic religious traditions and of how provincial people represented their cultural identity during the Roman imperial period. Yet despite reaching an apparent zenith in popularity in the early 3rd century A.D., most scholars believe the cult suffered a rapid decline in the 4th century A.D. due to the increased popularity of Christianity. This thesis argues that the cult of Saturn survived both in ritual practice and as a symbol of African identity until the 6th century A.D. African elites used the cult o

Many 19th century scholars have spent countless hours, and devoted many pages, to remove Selah from obscurity.

This thesis examines the nature and role of motherhood as an institution in the later Roman Empire in the west. Using a series of interlinked discourses it builds a composite image of the social ideals and expectations of mothers during a time when Christians were re-examining the cultural assumptions that underpinned family and gender relationships. Using 'medical' writings to examine the origin of assumptions about the female body, it then considers how this information was reinterpreted by patristic writers to suit their new image of the ideal body, and particularly to explain the Virgin Bi

Three chief factors are identified that determined the ways in which Shelley formed an idea of Greek antiquity: rationalism, idealism and historicism. Rationalism was an intellectual le
