The Man Who Invented “Late Antiquity”
 
Si può dire che sia lui, Peter Brown, lo studioso che ha coniato il concetto di Tarda Antichità. Soprattutto in riferimento alla storia del cristianesimo. Le sue numerose pubblicazioni sono una lettura obbligata. 

Qualche giorno fa ha tenuto una conferenza all’Università di Oxford nel corso dell’incontro Christianity and Politics in Late Antiquity. Il suo intervento integrale può essere scaricato da qui.

A colloquium titled Christianity and Politics in Late Antiquity organized by Neil McLynn in the Ioannou Centre for Classical and Byzantine Studies at the Oxford University. Rita Lizzi Testa (Perugia) gave a paper entitled ‘Christian Emperor, vestal virgins, and priestly colleges: rethinking the end of Roman paganism’ (Respondent: Claire Sotinel); and Claudia Rapp (UCLA) on ‘Of fossils, stone cutters, and royal architects: a nineteenth-century German perspective on late antique scholarship’ (Respondent: Fergus Millar). But THE paper was that given by Peter Brown (Princeton), the man who “invented” the definition Late Antiquity related to the history of Christianity.
