TL;DR: In this paper, the author analyzes Isidore's Chronicon to demonstrate that it is not neutral from the point of view of the narrative, but on the contrary, his disposition and arguments reveal clearly his ideological intention.
Abstract: In this article, the author analyzes Isidore's Chronicon to demonstrate that it is not neutral from the point of view of the narrative, but on the contrary, his disposition and arguments reveal clearly his ideological intention. His author seeks to show the weakness of Byzantium to highlight the greatness of the Visigothic Kingdom, refuge of Catholicism and Romanity.

TL;DR: In this article, el presente estudio se analiza la aparición del título Anticus de los sucesores de Justiniano I, desde Justino II a heraclio (565-612).
Abstract: Resumen: En el presente estudio se analiza la aparición del título Anticus de los sucesores de Justiniano I, desde Justino II a heraclio (565-612). Este título aparece por primera vez en el año 533 gracias a los éxitos militares de los Antes. En referencia a su mantenimiento hasta comienzos del siglo VII, se rechaza la hipótesis de que se debe a una simple imitación de los títulos de Justiniano. Por el contrario, se defiende que la principal razón de que siguiera apareciendo fue el mantenimiento de la alianza de Bizancio con los Antes, que se estableció en 545/46. Además, la desaparición de este título se relaciona con la destrucción del limes de Escitia Menor en torno al 614/15.

TL;DR: Theophylact had very precise reasons for avoiding adjectives derived from ethnic names as mentioned in this paper, which had much more to do with the narrative strategies that he employed than with the norms of the Greek language.
Abstract: In a reply to a previous article published in Byzantion Nea Hellas, the Greek historian Andreas Gkoutzioukostas has claimed that in a passage in Book VIII of Theophylact Simocatta’s History, the word Sklavinia was used as an adjective, not as a noun, and that the Byzantine historian frequently used adjectives derived from ethnic names. This article is a demonstration that both claims are in fact wrong, as Theophylact had very precise reasons for avoiding adjectives derived from ethnic names. Such reasons have much more to do with the narrative strategies that he employed than with the norms of the Greek language. His usage of Sklavinia is also mirrored by Hugeburc of Heidenheim’s transcription of St. Willbald’s account of his pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

TL;DR: In this paper, a trabajo es una aproximación al estudio de la comunidad judia de Salonica en el marco de la republica griega, deteniendo en la repercusion que tuvo sobre dicha comunicación the implantacion de la Ley del descanso dominical obligatorio en Salonica by el gobierno republicano de Papanastasiu in 1924.
Abstract: Este trabajo es una aproximacion al estudio de la comunidad judia de Salonica en el marco de la republica griega, deteniendonos en la repercusion que tuvo sobre dicha comunidad la implantacion de la Ley del descanso dominical obligatorio en Salonica por el gobierno republicano de Papanastasiu en 1924. Los diarios judios L’Independant y Le Progres, principalmente, consideraron la medida como un atentado a la libertad de conciencia de los judios y a sus intereses nacionales. Algunas asociaciones, sin embargo, llegaron mas lejos al hablar de persecucion y antisemitismo.

TL;DR: In this article, a brief discussion on the appropriateness of "vulgar Latin" as a concept is presented, followed by a description of the source, the approximate date of composition, the identity of the author and the transmission of the text.
Abstract: The aim of this article is to give an account of those features pertaining to so-called "Vulgar Latin" which are present in the initial section of the Itinerarium Egeriae. To accomplish this, a brief discussion on the appropriateness of 'vulgar Latin' as a concept is presented, followed by a description of the source, the approximate date of composition, the identity of the author and the transmission of the text. Finally, the linguistic analysis focuses on those features not coincident with the classical norm, which were proper of a Western koine used for communicative rather than stylistic purposes, and which foreshadow the linguistic fragmentation of a Latin-speaking area into different neo-Latin dialects.
