A thousand years before the establishment of the Modern State of Israel, there
existed a Jewish kingdom in the eastern fringes of Europe, astride the Don and
Volga rivers, presided over by two Jewish monarchs and inhabited by a mixed
population that included many Jews.

The story of the Khazars came to the attention of a famous Spanish Jewish
diplomat and physician named Hasdai ibn Shaprut. He was amazed and inspired by
what he learned about this people. Upon learning from Byzantine messengers that
Khazaria was ruled by a king named Yosef and that they are a powerful military
and commercial center, Hasdai ibn Shaprut wrote "...I was filled with power, my
hands became strong, and my hope gained courage."

The main ethnic element of Ashkenazim (German and Eastern European Jews),
Sephardim (Spanish and Portuguese Jews), Mizrakhim (Middle Eastern Jews),
Juhurim (Mountain Jews of the Caucasus), Italqim (Italian Jews), and most other
modern Jewish populations of the world is Israelite. The Israelite haplotypes
fall into haplogroups J and E.

Psellos's Chronographia permits an indepth analysis of the use made by an
exponent of the dominant ideology of minority group stereotypes - rebels, oafish
clowns and churls who make the patriot's blood boil; feeble-minded women and
unnatural eunuchs; Alanian and Tauroskythian barbarians; unchristian Hellenes -
in an extended narrative text of high-level prose. My conclusion is that Psellos
uses stereotypes to conceptualize and encode in the linguistic and
lexicographical complexities of his text the outsiders he identified in his
society, but that this use does not descend to prejudice, but shows "how it
really was."

Swimmers and sea-creatures, both mythical and actual, take their places in a
strong current running through the art of the early Christian period. Their
diverse sources meet in a confluence of verbal and visual imagery so varied in
purpose that it challenges the historian to look for distinct traditions, and
for the way they may or may not merge into the general flow. Dolphins, for
example, belong in antiquity to Dionysus. In this respect, their connection with
non-verbal

In a general sense, much water imagery expresses actual or wished-for well-being
in association with the bounty of the fertile deep. The understanding of this
propitious implication can extend from worldly into spiritual settings, raising
the depths to new heights to indicate the universality of heavenly power,

Even in such a desert setting as Sinai, the sea is used a vivid metaphor. John
Climacus envisions the monk immersed in theological texts as a swimmer in
dangerous waters, This usage is entirely different from the evocation of
enjoyment woven into a late antique textile depicting a Neried carrying a bowl
of wine, or the practical pleasure Cassiodorus takes in a pool communicating
with the sea to provide fish dinners for his monks.

Though Paul is balding and bandy-legged, his face possesses angelic beauty, and
Thecla becomes as intensely devoted to Paul as any romantic heroine. The jilted
Thamyris in turn plays the traditional part of rejected suitor.

Synesius of Cyrene's liveliest narrative is contained in Ep.5 Garzya. Strandec
along the coast awaiting repairs to the ship which should have carried him from
Alexandria to Cyrene, Synesius composed for his brother Euoptius the history of
his disastrous voyage. Every conceivable jinx should have warned him not to
embark. The captain and his crew make up the unlucky number thirteen. More than
half of them are Jewish and therefore malevolent towards all Hellenes, the rest
are inexperienced landsmen. Every one of them is physically deformed. The ship
performs the nautical equivalent of tripping on the threshold by running aground
two or three times before it even gets out of the harbor. The journey itself
lives down to its auspices.

The priority of vision over the other senses for access to the sacred past is
also clear in another type of pilgrim account: pilgrimage to living ascetics.
The Historia Monachorum in Aegypto frequently alludes to the reliability of
seeing over hearing for religious memory. The assumed permanence of visual
experience leads some pilgrims to be dissatisfied with the blessing of an
immured ascetic; their persistence is motivated by a desire to gaze upon the
face of the ascetic (1.6-9).

The use of short-term or branch mints supporting Byzantine military operations
is well documented by the coinage, especially under the two great expansionist
emperors, Justinian and Heraclius.

Today we are accustomed to the view that the foundation of Constantinople marked
a turning-point in the history of the Roman Empire - whether we look at it as
the inauguration of the Byzantine Empire or as the beginning of the decline and
fall of the Western Empire.

Although Constantinople's prominent role in the growth of the Virgin's cult ...
Church dedications to the Virgin in Rome are unknown within this particular
time period. On the other hand, Constantinople had many documented Virgin
churches built or extensively renovated in the first half of the 6th century.

The author reveals the encoded semantics of images depicted on amulets,
drawings, potter's stamps, and toreutics. Their ideas on the structure of the
universe and calendrical cycles are reconstructed; the symbolism of supreme
power is considered in connection to the "kagan-bek" opposition. Considerable
attention is paid to amulets - the most widespread attribute of Khazarian
paganism,

It is virtually impossible to overstress the importance of the fact that the
standard type of the domed posticonoclastic Byzantine church building was
ideally suited to serve as the receptacle for the new system of interior
decoration in which the cosmological schema served as a vehicle by which the
Liturgical Year not only commemorated Christ's Mission on earth, but also,
through the repeated liturgical re-enactments of that mission, conveyed the
notion of Eternal Time, just as did its ultimate model the Christianized
Zoodiac.
