David Klotz: The Temple of Osiris in Abydos during the Late Period
2009-2010 Visiting Research Scholar Lecture Series
The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, NYU
The Temple of Osiris in Abydos during the Late Period
Presented by: David Klotz, Visiting Research Scholar
Although the city of Abydos was one of the most important religious centers of Egypt from the Predynastic Period through the New Kingdom, little remains of its monuments from the Late Period (c. 1000-300 BC). In the early twentieth century, W.F. Petrie discovered meager traces of an Osiris temple dating to the reign of Amasis (Twenty-Sixth Dynasty, c. 570-526 BC), and recent New York University excavations have uncovered another temple built by Nectanebo I and II (Thirtieth Dynasty, c. 378-341 BC). Nonetheless, the intervening period - the era of Persian domination - remains a mystery, and the earlier temple of Amasis seems to have completely vanished.
Two new sources provide valuable information on this obscure chapter in the history of Abydos. The first is a statue in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MMA 1996.91) belonging to a prominent Egyptian general from the Thirtieth Dynasty. This object includes a difficult autobiographical inscription text in which the owner narrates how he defended Egypt from invading Persian armies and restored massive damage inflicted upon Abydos. At Sohag, meanwhile, the church of St. Shenoute at the White Monastery (c.450 AD) incorporates Pharaonic and Graeco-Roman spolia reused from earlier monuments. The Yale White Monastery Church Documentation Project (2007-2009) recorded over twenty granite blocks from the reign of Amasis, and the decoration indicates they derive from the Osiris temple at Abydos.
The archaeological and epigraphic record suggests the Osiris temple was badly damaged - if not completely destroyed - during the period of Achaemenid rule in Egypt. Similar accounts of Persian looting are attested at multiple Egyptian sites, but they are often dismissed as mere propaganda intended to legitimize the subsequent Ptolemaic dynasty. The case of Abydos leads us to reevaluate our assumptions concerning the religious policies of the Great Kings of Persia.

David Taylor: A Greek-speaking Eastern Roman Empire?
A Greek-speaking Eastern Roman Empire? The View from New York

2009-2010 Visiting Research Scholar Lecture Series

*This lecture is free and open to the public
The overwhelming majority of the surviving epigraphic texts of the Late Antique Roman provinces of Syria and Mesopotamia are written in Greek, and in a number of recent books and articles it has been argued that Greek was in fact the ordinary daily language of the local populations. By examining examples of the full available range of ancient linguistic evidence, and drawing on sociolinguistic theory about multilingualism and diglossia, this thesis will be challenged, and a more complex pattern of language usage will be sketched out. The consequences of this for issues of local identity and culture will then be explored.
David Taylor is the University Lecturer in Aramaic and Syriac at the University of Oxford, and during 2009-2010 he is a Visiting Research Scholar at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, NYU.
The next lecture of the series will be given by David Klotz on October 20th.

Conference this weekend: The Sarcophagus East and West
October 2-3, 2009
The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World
15 E. 84th Street
New York, NY 10028
(212) 992-7800
RSVP: isaw@nyu.edu (please indicate day(s) attending)
This conference, organized by Wu Hung and Jas' Elsner, focuses mainly on decorated stone sarcophagi from around the second century BCE to the third century CE, when this type of burial equipment not only continued to develop in the parts of Europe dominated by the Roman Empire, but also enjoyed considerable popularity in East Asia. Whereas the chronological and formal developments of each regional tradition remain an important research goal, this conference encourages comparative observations and interpretations of ancient sarcophagi in broader geo-cultural spheres and more specific ritual/religious contexts. It is hoped that by addressing these two research objectives simultaneously, this conference will help open new ways to think about the development of art and visual culture in a broadly defined ancient world, where the art historical materials available are subject to comparable methodological constraints both from archaeological excavation and from known literary and historical contexts.
This event is free and open to the public, please RSVP.
