This paper is condensed from data compiled for the investigation of the seismic sea-waves in the Eastern Mediterranean (31-44° N to 18-36° E). It contains the results of the first stage of the study which, in its greater part, consists of a list of waves about which we found useful data for a correlation between the seismicity and the sea-floor morphology of the region. It is shown that the Eastern Mediterranean is often subject to seismic sea-waves, whose intensity varies from “light” to “strong.” Waves of higher intensities are very rare and strongly local. There are good reasons to believe that certain areas of the region give rise to waves, whose origin must be sought in submarine landslides. For certain central areas of the Grecian Archipelago, crustal tilting rather than tectonic deformations of the sea-floor seems to be a very probable cause for some of the waves observed. Finally, a brief survey of some early ideas about the mechanism of seismic sea-waves is included.

Byzantium and the Early Islamic Conquests

The Cambridge History of Medieval Philosophy comprises over fifty specially commissioned essays by experts on the philosophy of this period. Starting in the late eighth century, with the renewal of learning some centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire, a sequence of chapters takes the reader through developments in many and varied fields, including logic and language, natural philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, and theology. Close attention is paid to the context of medieval philosophy, with discussions of the rise of the universities and developments in the cultural and linguistic spheres. A striking feature is the continuous coverage of Islamic, Jewish, and Christian material. There are useful biographies of the philosophers, and a comprehensive bibliography. The volumes illuminate a rich and remarkable period in the history of philosophy and will be the authoritative source on medieval philosophy for the next generation of scholars and students alike.
