Warsaw Late Antique Seminar on 2 X: Jakub Urbanik (UW), D. I 3.37 / P. Oxy. LXXXV 5495 – Consuetudo Strikes Back
On Thursday, 2 October, at 16.45 Jakub Urbanik (UW) will present a paper D. I 3.37 / P. Oxy. LXXXV 5495 – Consuetudo Strikes Back. We are meeting in Room 203 at the Faculty of Law and Administration (UW Main Campus), but you can join us on Zoom at this link.
The quaestio prima of the juristic papyrology has been since its beginning the problem of law application in Egypt under the Roman rule. In the last half of the century two prominent opinions tried to elucidate this mechanism. Hans Julius Wolff offered a vision of a legal vacuum caused by the Roman conquest, with the Ptolemies gone, the legitimation of ‘their’ law was gone, too. In that emptiness the norms had to be created a new by the Romans. The application of the old norms of whatever origin – be it Egyptian, be it Greek of various provenance, – gave them legal force as if it had never been attributed before. In turn, Józef Mélèze Modrzejewski inspired by his mentor Jean Gaudemet, put forward a different, and a very elegant solution to this problem. The earlier norms survived the Roman conquest as customs (mores/consuetudines). One could then say that their normativity was reduced, relegated to the second place, auxiliary to the Roman legal order. The local laws would be thus used in wont of a Roman legal rule. In the centre of Modrzejewski’s analysis there lay a fragment of the works of the high-classical jurist Salvius Iulianus D. i 3.32 pr. (Iul. 84 dig.). This idea meets with serious theoretical objections, as shown by José Luis Alonso: the Romans from the later Republic till the later imperial era did not apply to mos a normative quality, hardly may one speak of hierarchy of norms under classical law. In this paper I would like to explore further this issue, thanks to an extraordinary new document P. Oxy. lxxxv 5495 – a Greek paraphrase of Digest i 3.37 – Paul, 1 quaestionum, which sheds light on the proper understanding of Iulian’s Digests fragment, and perhaps may elucidate how one should comprehend leges, mores, and consuestudines, he referred to (the latter in the words of Ulpian to be applied in place of ius and lex in wont of written laws).

Call for Applications - The Katz Centre for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania 2026-7 Fellowship Programme
War has been a part of Jewish experience since its very beginnings, and so too has the aspiration for peace. The Katz Center aims to use its fellowship program to support new research into how Jewish history, culture, thought, and expression have been shaped by and shape the experiences of war and peace. Beyond exploring the myriad ways that Jews and Judaism have been impacted by the physical and historical realities of war and peace, we seek to explore how both experiences have developed and figure in philosophical, ethical, political, and literary thinking as well (both Jewish and non-Jewish).
The Katz Center welcomes relevant applications from any subfield of Jewish studies and adjacent fields. The goal of the Katz Center fellowship is to support individual research projects but also to promote intellectual community through conversation, conferences, and other activities meant to bridge across differences among disciplines and subfields, and applications will be evaluated based on their individual merits and their potential to contribute to the experience of other fellows.
Selected fellows are provided with a stipend for a year or a semester and the time and resources needed to pursue their individual projects (including an office, computer, and library privileges at the University of Pennsylvania), and they are expected to actively engage in the intellectual life of the fellowship community. All applicants must have a doctoral degree in hand by the start of the fellowship. Fellows are expected to live in Philadelphia for the term of their fellowship, which can run for the entire academic year (September–April) or for a single semester.
More information is included in the Katz Center application. Applications are due November 10, 2025.
Find answers to frequently asked questions here. For other inquiries please contact Marci Seder at sed...@upenn.edu.
In an effort to create the possibility of a second year of support for early career scholars, the Katz Center has partnered with Ben-Gurion University of the Negev to offer scholars without a tenure track position who submitted their doctoral thesis within five years prior to application an opportunity to use the Katz Center application process to also apply for a second-year fellowship in 2027–28 at BGU in Beersheva, Israel. This second-year fellowship, offered by BGU’s Center for the Study of Conversion and Inter-Religious Encounters (CSoC), will be in the context of a different cohort, on the wider theme of War and Peace in World Religions.
Read more on the CSoC website. More information, including how to apply, can be found in the Katz Center application.

Editor, Journal of Hellenic Studies
An Editor is sought for the Journal of Hellenic Studies to replace Professor Lin Foxhall, who has come to the end of her term, to join the editorial team with effect from 1 January 2026. It is envisaged that the successful candidate will be available from early November for a handover period.
The editor has ultimate responsibility for the articles published in the journal. Submissions to the Journal are now made online, using CUP’s ScholarOne system. The peer review and production processes also operate within ScholarOne system. The editor receives submissions, which have averaged around 80 in recent years; commissions at least two suitable referees (including, where appropriate, members of the editorial committee; at his/her discretion (s)he may also act as a referee); decides whether to accept, reject or offer the opportunity to revise or resubmit; and, via ScholarOne, communicates that decision to the author(s) together with the referees’ reports. For articles accepted, the process of revision is managed via ScholarOne. Once final versions of articles are received, the editor checks and edits them before they are sent on to the copyeditor via ScholarOne. The editor then addresses any copyediting queries to the author, and once all queries are resolved and there is a final, agreed manuscript, the editor sends it on to production. The editor checks first and subsequent proofs of articles, the supplementary material, the illustrations (ensuring that all necessary permissions have been received), the preliminary material and any review article(s), on the content of which (s)he liaises with the Reviews Editors. The editor also liaises as required with the Society’s officers on matters of policy, with CUP as the publisher, and with the SPHS office (e.g. for permissions), and deals with related correspondence and enquiries. Finally, the editor reports annually to the Editorial Committee, which currently meets in February, and to Council (of which (s)he is ex officio a non-voting member), normally at the March meeting. The workload exhibits a number of peaks throughout the year, during which the editor might expect to devote a large proportion of the working week to JHS work, but as an average works out at around one day a week. The Rules of the Society do not specify a term of office, but recent editors have served for around five years.
An honorarium of £1500 p.a. goes with the role. To apply, please send by email to Dr Fiona Haarer, Executive Secretary (secr...@hellenicsociety.org.uk): 1. a short CV (maximum 2 sides of A4) and 2. a cover letter (maximum 1 side of A4) explaining i) why you are interested in this role, and ii) your relevant experience of editorial work. The deadline for applications is Monday 20 October, 2025.
Reviews Editor, Journal of Hellenic Studies
A Reviews Editor is sought for the Journal of Hellenic Studies to replace Professor Laurence Totelin, who has come to the end of her term, to join the editorial team with effect from 1 January 2026. It is envisaged that the successful candidate will be available from early November for a handover period.
The successful candidate will work with the other Reviews Editor, Dr Michaela Senkova and the Editor, currently Professor Lin Foxhall, to organise and commission expert reviews of key books in the various subfields of Hellenic studies. Professor Totelin currently covers: History; Art and Archaeology; Philosophy; Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies. Dr Senkova currently covers the sub-fields of Literature; Reception & History of Scholarship; Linguistics. However, there is some flexibility for discussion with the successful candidate over the fields they will cover. The commissioning and management of reviews operates through ScholarOne.
An honorarium of £500 p.a. goes with the role. The term of the role is for four years. To apply, please send by email to Dr Fiona Haarer, Executive Secretary (secr...@hellenicsociety.org.uk): 1. a short CV (maximum 2 sides of A4) and 2. a cover letter (maximum 1 side of A4) explaining i) why you are interested in this role, ii) your areas of expertise, and iii) your relevant experience of reviewing and editorial work. The deadline for applications is Monday 20 October, 2025.
