SUMMARY OF HISTORICALLY RECORDED EXTREME CLIMATE-RELATED EVENTS IN ANATOLIA AND ADJACENT REGIONS FROM BYZANTINE SOURCES (300-1453 C.E.)
附錄1:(153)
來自拜占庭(公元 300-1453 年)的阿納托利亞和鄰近地區(qū)歷史記錄的極端氣候相關(guān)事件摘要
The table that follows presents a summary of the catalogue of climatic events from textual sources to be found in the works of Telelis and Stathakopoulos, recently updated in McCormick et al. (eds.), Digital Atlas of Roman and Medieval Civilizations. References to any environmental or climate-related event in a historical or archival document, however, represent an initial stage of interpretation in light of the observer's/reporter's experience, or the assumptions of the informant(s). Since an observer's geographical location may reflect uncorroborated generalizations, such reports may offer only a tentative guide to actual climate conditions or events.
????????? 下表概括了來自文本來源的氣候事件目錄,這些文本來源可在 Telelis 和 Stathakopoulos 的作品中找到,最近在 McCormick 等人中進(jìn)行了更新。 (eds.), 羅馬和中世紀(jì)文明的數(shù)字地圖集。 然而,在歷史或檔案文件中對任何環(huán)境或氣候相關(guān)事件的引用,代表了根據(jù)觀察者/報(bào)告者的經(jīng)驗(yàn)或線人的假設(shè)的初步解釋階段。 由于觀察員的地理位置可能反映未經(jīng)證實(shí)的概括,因此此類報(bào)告可能僅提供實(shí)際氣候條件或事件的暫定指南。
Historical scholarship is constantly developing a deeper understanding of the historical sources, addressing such issues as their ideological outlook; the literary and theological traditions that informed them; the geographical location of their composition; and, most importantly for the purpose of this article, their dating methods and chronological frameworks. Written sources often report events within a broad time frame that gives an (approximate) date of composition, for example. Such events are included in the table as a single entry to prevent distortion of the overall pattern, unless they were clearly repeated across a number of years (the catalogue in Telelis' 2004 work takes this distinction into account in its tabulation).
?????????? 歷史學(xué)研究不斷加深對歷史淵源的理解,解決思想觀念等問題; 影響他們的文學(xué)和神學(xué)傳統(tǒng); 其組成的地理位置; 并且,最重要的是為了本文的目的,他們的約會方法和時(shí)間順序框架。 例如,書面資料通常會在一個(gè)寬泛的時(shí)間范圍內(nèi)報(bào)告事件,并給出(大致的)創(chuàng)作日期。 此類事件作為單個(gè)條目包含在表格中,以防止整體模式失真,除非它們在多年內(nèi)明顯重復(fù)(Telelis 2004 年工作的目錄在其列表中考慮了這種區(qū)別)。
The availability of the various reports testifies not only to whether they were able to survive through the ages but also to the extent to which texts were produced during their era; written evidence from the period before the sixth century and from the period after the tenth century far outnumbers that from the intervening centuries. For a detailed methodological discussion, see Telelis, "Climatic Fluctuations in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East AD 300-1500 from Byzantine Documentary and Proxy Physical Palaeoclimatic Evidence a Comparison," Jahrbuch der ?sterreichischen Byzantinistik, LVIII (2008), 169-177, as well as his analysis by source category in Meteorologika phainomena sto Vizantio (Athens, 2004), II, 71 1-795, and the tabulation of results from that analysis (796-829).
????????? 各種報(bào)告的可用性不僅證明了它們是否能夠歷經(jīng)時(shí)代,而且還證明了它們在那個(gè)時(shí)代產(chǎn)生的文本的程度; 六世紀(jì)之前和十世紀(jì)之后的書面證據(jù)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過其間的幾個(gè)世紀(jì)。 有關(guān)詳細(xì)的方法論討論,請參閱 Telelis,“東地中海和中東 AD 300-1500 的氣候波動來自拜占庭紀(jì)錄片和代理物理古氣候證據(jù)的比較”,Jahrbuch der ?sterreichischen Byzantinistik, LVIII (2008), 169-177, 以及他在 Meteorologika phainomena sto Vizantio (Athens, 2004), II, 71 1-795 中按來源類別進(jìn)行的分析,以及該分析的結(jié)果列表 (796-829)。
Two concluding points: First, because many of the witnesses are from Constantinople which in an eastern Roman context is only to be expected, especially after the seventh century - the locational bias is particularly strong. It does not preclude careful generalization, however, if we acknowledge the methodological considerations outlined in Telelis, Meteorologika phainomena sto Vizantio, mentioned above. Second, the causal relationship between events and their context is not always clear. The overall picture must take into account that several of the "famine" events were caused by political circumstances (such as a siege, for example, or wartime devastation).
????????? 兩個(gè)結(jié)論:首先,因?yàn)樵S多證人來自君士坦丁堡,這在東羅馬語境中是可以預(yù)料的,尤其是在七世紀(jì)之后 - 位置偏見特別強(qiáng)烈。 但是,如果我們承認(rèn)上面提到的 Telelis, Meteorologika phainomena sto Vizantio 中概述的方法論考慮因素,這并不排除謹(jǐn)慎的概括。 其次,事件與其背景之間的因果關(guān)系并不總是很清楚。 整體情況必須考慮到一些“饑荒”事件是由政治環(huán)境(例如圍城或戰(zhàn)時(shí)破壞)引起的。
