Auf der Brücke zwischen Orient und Afrika, im heutigen Nordsudan, lebte über tausend Jahre eine einheimische Kirche. Von Historikern lange übersehen, ist ihre Geschichte jetzt greifbar. In den nubischen Reichen entwickelten sich nach der Christianisierung im 6. Jh. Kunst und Kirchenbau, Schriftsprache und Literatur, staatliche und kirchliche Institutionen, Handel und internationale Beziehungen. Selbst in Jerusalem fand sich eine Gemeinschaft nubischer Mönche. Obwohl die nubische Kirche in den Wirren des 14. bis 17. Jh. unterging, sind Reste christlichen Brauchtums noch heute im Sudan lebendig.
English Summary: In this study, the author has assembled the literary and archeological sources that illuminate the Christianization of Nubia in the sixth century. At their center stands a report from a Church History written by John of Ephesus, which, when combined with other documents concerning the miaphysite Church, as well as epigraphic evidence from Philae and Nubia, presents a series of events and dates for those time. In addition, the author discusses the early archeological evidence for Christianity on the island of Philae and in Nubia, including the conversion of temples and the earliest church buildings. German Description: In dieser Studie werden philologische und archaologische Quellen zusammengestellt, die die Christianisierung Nubiens im 6. Jahrhundert nach Christus betreffen. Im Zentrum steht ein Bericht aus der Kirchengeschichte des Johannes von Ephesus, der durch die Kombination mit weiteren Dokumenten der miaphysitischen Kirche sowie epigraphischen Zeugnissen aus Philae und Nubien eine Reihe historischer Daten zu dieser Epoche liefert. Daruber hinaus werden die fruhen archaologischen Zeugnisse des Christentums, die Tempelumwandlungen sowie die ersten Kirchenbauten auf der Insel Philae und in Nubien besprochen.
Medieval Christian Nubia is often a neglected period of medieval African history. Because meaning is determined largely by context this work traces the Greco-Roman, Meroitic and Jewish precursors. The regional, historical and theological schisms within Christianity are also a highlight. The dynamics of the three Nubian kingdoms of Nobatia, Mukurra, and Alwa are the centerpiece of this book that covers mural arts, architecture, and the names of the leading kings and bishops. Another strength of the book is the analysis of the 700-year baqt peace treaty between Christian Nubia and Islamic Egypt; this is considered to be the longest lasting treaty in diplomatic history. The complex transition from Christianity to Islam in the 14th century is analyzed in great personal, political, and military detail. Historical Dictionary of Medieval Christian Nubia contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 200 cross-referenced entries on politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture of the medieval Nubians. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Medieval Christian Nubia.
Christianity and monasticism have flourished along the Nile Valley in the Aswan region of Upper Egypt and in what was once Nubia, from as early as the fourth century until the present day. The contributors to this volume, international specialists in Coptology from around the world, examine various aspects of Coptic civilization in Aswan and Nubia over the past centuries. The complexity of Christian identity in Nubia, as distinct from Egypt, is examined in the context of church ritual and architecture. Many of the studies explore Coptic material culture: inscriptions, art, architecture, and archaeology; and language and literature. The archaeological and artistic heritage of monastic sites in Edfu, Aswan, Makuria, and Kom Ombo are highlighted, attesting to their important legacies in the region.
Revised version of the author's dissertation--Claremont Graduate University, 2008.
As a young field archaeologist, Kirwan (1907-99) worked in Nubia from 1929-39, then went on to lead expeditions to Sudan, and become the Director and Secretary of the British Royal Geographical Society and editor of its journal. The facsimiles of 24 articles published between 1934 and 1994 focus on the history of Nubia itself and its relations with immediate neighbors, and so excludes his studies of southern Arabia and the Red Sea region and more wide ranging geographical studies. An article he wrote in 1998 is presented as an introduction. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
