The paper is an off-shoot of the author's PhD project on lamps from Roman Syria (at the University of Geneva in Switzerland), centered mainly on the collection preserved at the Art Museum of Princeton University in the United States. One of the outcomes of the research is a review of parallels from archaeological sites and museum collections and despite the incomplete documentation i most cases, much new insight could be gleaned, for the author's doctoral research and for other issues related to lychnological studies. The present paper collects the data on oil lamps from byzantine layers excavated in 1932–1939 at Antioch-on-the-Orontes and at sites in its vicinity (published only in part so far) and considers the finds in their archaeological context.

The World

When we deal with religious phenomena, we are not always fortunate enough to find explanatory texts. That is particularly true of the mystery religions and thus should be expected when we look at the materials concerning Isis, Sarapis and Demeter at Antioch of Syria. But in this instance we are faced with special problems. First, the texts are so meager that we are forced to turn to the artifacts in order to grasp at all the influence of these religions within the third largest city of the ancient world. Second, and more important, the effort to collate all the artifacts is at present impossible. The reports of the excavations in Antioch from 1932–39 were only published in a shortened preliminary form. For that we must be thankful, but it does mean that exact locations and dates of certain finds are quite difficult to obtain. Furthermore, the collections of materials primarily are divided between the McCormick Art Museum at Princeton University, the Louvre in Paris, and the local museum in Antakya, Turkey. Separate pieces, however, are scattered over the world. The materials at Princeton and Paris are accessible, but those at Antakya are limited in most instances to the ones on display. The major difficulty in retrieving the excavated materials comes not from bureaucratic obstinacy in Turkey. I received significant assistance from both Selhattin Asim, cultural director of the Hatay region, and Nizamettin Bati, director of the museum, during two visits to Antakya in 1976 and 1977. The major problem lies in the fact that the serial numbers recorded in Antakya bear no resemblance to those published in the preliminary reports. Literally hundreds of artifacts are housed in the Antakya museum which have not been studied in any thorough way. If this serial number conundrum could be broken, much more light could be shed on conditions in Antioch. For now, only preliminary studies of available pieces can be offered. Within such studies, arguments from silence are quite questionable. The task in this article is to discuss the texts and artifacts known to me in order to correct some inaccuracies of interpretation and to add color to the picture of Hellenistic religion in Antioch of Syria.

This chapter examines the partnership between an urban art museum and a university. It involves museum educators, art education faculty, and undergraduate students. It specifically explores the development of hands-on museum activities for elementary students created by the university participants. The chapter is written from a higher education perspective. It provides a description of all facets of the partnership from its planning to the completion of the museum activities. The partnership provided the university students authentic museum experiences and ways to make professional connections with museum professionals. Recommendations for those who wish to develop university/museum partnerships are shared.

Oxygenated secondary stereogenic centers are readily available. There is a limited range of carbon nucleophiles that will displace a secondary leaving group in high yield with clean inversion. Teruaki Mukaiyama of the Kitasato Institute has described (Chem. Lett. 2007, 36, 2) an elegant addition to this list. Phosphinites such as 1 are easily prepared from the corresponding alcohols. Quinone oxidation in the presence of a nucleophile led via efficient displacement to the coupled product 2. The sulfone could be reduced with SmI2 to give 3. Enantioselective reduction of trisubstituted alkenes is also a powerful method for establishing alkylated stereogenic centers. Juan C. Carretero of the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid has found (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2007, 46, 3329) that the enantioselective reduction of unsaturated pyridyl sulfones such as 4 was directed by the sulfone, so the other geometric isomer of 4 gave the opposite enantiomer of 5. The protected hydroxy sulfone 5 is a versatile chiral building block. Samuel H. Gellman of the University of Wisconsin has reported (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 6050) an improved procedure for the aminomethylation of aldehydes. L-Proline-catalyzed condensation with the matched α-methyl benzylamine derivavative 7 gave the aldehyde, which was immediately reduced to the alcohol 8 to avoid racemization. The amino alcohol 8 was easily separated in diastereomerically-pure form. In the past, aldehydes have been efficiently α-alkylated using two-electron chemistry. David W. C. Macmillan of Princeton University has developed (Science 2007, 316, 582; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 7004) a one-electron alternative. The organocatalyst 9 formed an imine with the aldehyde. One-electron oxidation led to an α-radical, which was trapped by the allyl silane (or, not pictured, a silyl enol ether) leading to the α-alkylated aldehyde 10. This is mechnistically related to the work reported independently by Mukund P. Sibi (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 4124; OHL Feb. 11, 2008) on one-electron α-oxygenation of aldehydes. Secondary alkylated centers can also be prepared by SN2’ alkylation of prochiral substrates such as 11. Ben L. Feringa of the University of Groningen has shown (J. Org. Chem. 2007, 72, 2558) that the displacement proceeded with high ee even with conventional Grignard reagents.
