The Forbidden Word: The Art of Periphrasis and Church Politics in the Icon Controversy under Alexios I Komnenos
Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies. 2025. Vol. 49. No. 2. P. 205–222.
The controversy over the confiscation of church vessels during the reign of Alexios I is referred to as ‘Komnenian Iconoclasm.’ However, its salient feature is the reluctance of both parties to accuse their opponents of Iconoclasm. Alexios’ supporters and adversaries mastered the art of periphrasis and allusion, so that the shadow of Iconoclasm loomed over the debate. Still, as long as the word was not pronounced, there remained a chance of reconciliation. In the broader context of cultural memory about Iconoclasm, this debate is a turning point, after which accusations of Iconoclasm were no longer connected to iconoclastic practices.

Despite a lot of interest for the factors influencing the choice of pronoun (reflexive or personal) with an antecedent in Russian, the role of the anaphotic relation—coreference or semantic binding—has been understudied, including disagreements as to the acceptability of particular data points. To clarify things, I employ large corpora (Araneum and GICR) to study the ...

This article examines the education of Epaminondas, the most famous Theban military and political figure. However, in antiquity, Epaminondas was also renowned for his education and philosophical authority. The study demonstrates that Epaminondas' education encompassed a complex set of local teachings, which Pausanias describes as
ἐπιχώρια διδάγματα. However, Epaminondas' education differed from that of most members ...

Cognitive distortions are routinely described in cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and rational-emotive behavior (REBT) therapies as “errors in logic” or “illogical thinking.” While this terminology is pedagogically convenient, it often obscures a crucial conceptual distinction between violations of logical inference and problems related to the justification, scope, or evaluative force of belief content. In this paper, we do not ...

This article examines two functions of the suffix -samae in the Pur dialect of Forest Nenets based on fieldwork data: comitative (expression of jointness: ‘with X’) and scalar additive (focus particle with the meaning ‘even X’). The comitative use of the suffix -samae primarily marks an inanimate companion. However, its use is also possible with other types ...

Until recently, Assyriologists have been mostly unaware of the existence of prescriptive cuneiform law as early as in the Early Dynastic period. A deeper inquiry into the so-called chancery texts from Ebla has allowed Massimo Maiocchi and the present authors to independently conclude that compendia of prescriptive legal provisions, in their typology broadly identical to ...

The academic vocabulary used to describe the Iconoclastic Controversy in Byzantium includes both authentic Middle Greek lexemes and artificial terms coined in 16th–17th-century Western Europe, developed in the context of Reformation theological debates. The former category is largely represented by terms referring to the so-called Iconoclasts (εἰκονομάχοι, εἰκονοκλάσται, εἰκονοκαῦ[σ]ται), while the latter includes designations for ...

распространение «еретических» учений в пределах Киевской митрополии во второй половине XVI в. приводило к необходимости создания специальных полемических текстов против носителей неортодоксальных учений, изучение которых позволяет наиболее полно взглянуть на развитие интеллектуальной жизни православно-католического пограничья. Среди таковых текстов достаточно обширным является анонимное сочинение против «еретиков»-«гусов», которое сохранилось в трех рукописных списках. В составе изучаемого произведения ...
