Ilaria Ramelli

Prof. Dr. Ilaria L.E. Ramelli FRHistS, Dr.h.c., Dr.habil.bis (born 1973), is an Italian-born historian, scholarly author, and university professor, a specialist in ancient, late antique, and early mediaeval philosophy, especially the Platonic and Stoic traditions; ancient Christian philosophy, theology, and history (in Greek and Latin sources, partially also Syriac, Coptic and Armenian—with a predilection for Origen of Alexandria and the Origenian tradition down to the Cappadocian Fathers, Evagrius Ponticus,[1] Dionysius the Areopagite, Maximus the Confessor, and John Scotus Eriugena, and including Augustine of Hippo whom she incorporates within the Origenian tradition); Hellenistic Judaism and Jewish-Christian relations; ancient religions and their philosophical interpretations; classics; and imperial and late antiquity.[2] She is deeply interested in the relationship between Theology and Philosophy in ancient "pagan," Jewish, and Christian thought and endeavors to bridge the gap between these disciplines and promote an integrative (but also in-depth and specialistic) study of antiquity and late antiquity, against a tendency to compartmentalize research.[3] She is also very much interested in contemporary philosophy, theology, and social and ethical issues, as her scholarly and popular publications attest.[4]

Academic and scientific activity

Ramelli has been since 2013 Full Professor of Theology and endowed Chair,[5] and (elected) Senior Research Fellow at Durham University, as well as at Oxford University, Christ Church (Fowler Hamilton Fellow), at Erfurt University's Max Weber Centre and at Humboldt University, Berlin (within a "Forschungspreis" from the Humboldt Foundation), and at CEU Institute for Advanced Study; and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society,[6] and of many other academic societies (e.g., EHS-Ecclesiastical History Society , SNTS-Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas,[7] SBL-Society of Biblical Literature , AAR-American Academy of Religion , ISNS-International Society for Neoplatonic Studies , SCS-Society for Classical Studies, formerly APA-American Philological Association, FIEC-Fédération Internationale des Études Classiques, Enoch Seminar, NAPS-North American Patristics Society, AIEP-IAPS-International Association of Patristic Studies, IAHR-International Association of the History of Religions , Forum for Advanced Study Gaetano Massa, Sophia Institute – honorary, the Humboldt Network of Outstanding Researchers,[8] etc.). During the last two decades she served as Professor of Roman History (from 2002/3), Senior Research Fellow in Ancient and Patristic Philosophy (both at Durham University, for an earlier fellowship, and at Oxford University, Corpus Christi),[9] in Hellenic Studies at Princeton University,[10] in Religion (Erfurt, Max-Weber-Kolleg),[11] and in Ancient Philosophy (Catholic University, 2003–present), Senior Visiting Professor of Greek Thought (Harvard; BU),[12] of Church History, of Patristics, and director of international research projects. She has held many other senior visiting professorships and fellowships, and has given invited lectures, main and public lectures, seminars, and courses, besides directing graduate programs and research, at a number of Universities, including topmost ones, in North America, the UK, Europe, and Israel[13]—notwithstanding severe physical disability and suffering for many years, as documented in some interviews.[14] She earned two MAs, a PhD (2000), a further Doctorate (honoris causa), a Postdoc, and some Habilitations to Full Professor (Ordinarius / W3).

Books

Ramelli's books and essays are published, for instance, by Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Brill, Harvard University Press, Mohr Siebeck, de Gruyter, Peeters, Brepols, Wiley-Blackwell, Routledge, T&T Clark, Wipf & Stock, Catholic University of America Press, SBL Press, InterVarsity, Gorgias, Polebridge, Cambridge Scholars, Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, Harrassowitz, Winter, Academia, Kohlhammer, Beauchesne, Latomus, Barkhuis, Groningen University Library, Universidad Complutense, Signifer, Paideia, Bompiani, Vita e Pensiero, Augustinianum, Marietti, Officina di Studi Medievali, Cittadella, Mimesis, Dell'Orso, ESD, LEV, etc.

Some of her academic books and articles are collected, for example, in her Orcid profile, her Kudos profile, with indications of the publishers' websites, her EHS and ISNS profiles, in WorldCat, where an indication of her most widely held books also appears, in Google Scholar, JSTOR, and elsewhere.[65]

Just three examples from the most recent monographs. Ramelli's monograph on apokatastasis (Brill 2013) is a dense, monumental study of historical theology in over 900 pages, showing that the doctrine of universal restoration was much more widespread than commonly assumed in first-millennium Christianity and was Christologically, Biblically, and philosophically grounded.[66] With a monograph on Bardaisan of Edessa (Gorgias 2009),[67] on the basis of a painstaking analysis of all sources, Ramelli has integrated an important Syriac thinker from the second/third-century CE into imperial philosophy (both "pagan" and Christian), has highlighted the role of Plato's Timaeus, of Middle Platonism, and of Stoicism in Bardaisan's thought, and has traced impressive and previously unnoticed parallels with the thought, and the school, of Origen of Alexandria. In this and other cases, she has interrelated Syriac and Greco-Roman studies, especially from the philosophical, religious, and historical perspective. Her monograph on social justice (OUP 2016) argues in detail that philosophical asceticism in antiquity and late antiquity was not simply about self-restraint or contempt for the body, but was often driven by a concern with justice and it is only in such circles that, in all of antiquity and late antiquity, we find an opposition to slavery as an institution, both in principle and in actual fact.[68]
