Books by Balbina Bäbler
Apart from innumerable excerpts from ancient authors there are extensive notes form Roman libraries, comments on ancient texts and preliminary studies for text editions.
This study makes use of this mostly unpublished material to shed light on an undiscovered side of Winckelmann.
With contributions of T. S. Scheer, H.-G. Nesselrath, S. Döpp, G. A. Lehmann, D. Graepler, B. Bäbler, P. Kuhlmann, H. Rohlfing.
The first part covers questions about style and stylistic development. In the second part scientific methods of dating, different eras and systems as well as the chronology from the geometric until the late antique periods are discussed. Moreover, an overview on securely dated monuments is presented.
The final chapter asks about the goal and meaning of chronology.
With contributions by Joachim Szidat, Heinz-Günther Nesselrath, Thomas Hidber, Therese Fuhrer, Bernhard Neuschäfer, Thomas Gelzer, Alfred Stückelberger, Werner Schubert, Balbina Bäbler, Martin George.

This paper takes another approach than previous scholarship by at the functioning of the library within the urban context of Late Antique Caesarea Maritima. Might the uniqueness and novelty of the institution that has sometimes been called a “Christian museion” provide clues to its location? Can we draw conclusions about architecture and constructional embedding from the fact that the library was also a place of held learned debates and a site where Origen preached sermons and baptized pupils? A close look at the urbanistics of contemporaneous Caesarea Maritima and its population might provide more plausible suggestions about the location of Origen’s and later Eusebius’ library than hitherto made.

Why has the UN never once condemned the incessant attacks on civilians and their homes in viola-tion of international law? Why do we see nothing of the flaming inferno, the scorched earth on the German state television channels?Only when Israel hit back after a year of uninterrupted attacks, the German foreign ministry warned of a destabilisation of Lebanon and warned Israel not to esca-late the situation. Incendiary, spiral of violence, conflagration etc. were the terms used. These words have not occurred to our government in 13 months of incessant rocket terror against Israel from the south and from the north, from Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen.
At least now there is an opportunity to make a change – there will be elections in Germany soon. Let's elect only people for whom ‘Never again is now’ is not just a hollow phrase for 9 November, but an action word for the whole year!
In Göttingen, people who publicize such conditions are attacked and threatened by the “Stu-dents for Palestine” and the so-called “Civil Society for Justice” and grotesquely accused of “anti-Islamic agitation”. These two groups are part of the openly anti-Semitic, nationwide „Kufiya network“ which, among other things, actively campaigns for the release of convicted Palestinian terrorists (including of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the PFLP and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades), publicly expresses solidarity with the Islamic Center Hamburg (IZH), which was recently banned by the Federal Ministry of the Interior due to Islamist and anti-Semitic calls for terror: The „Kufiya network“ already condoned terrorist attacks on Israeli society in its founding declaration in December 2023.
In Göttingen werden Menschen, die solche Zustände publik machen, von den „Students for Palestine“ und der sog. „Zivilgesellschaft für Gerechtigketi“ attackiert und bedroht und in grotesker Weise der „anti-islamischen Hetze“ beschuldigt. Diese beiden Gruppen sind Teil des offen antisemitischen, bundesweiten Kufiya-Netzwerkes das sich u.a. aktiv für die Freilassung von verurteilten palästinensischen Terrorist*innen (u.a. der Hamas, des Isla-mischen Jihad, der PFLP und der Al-Aksa-Märtyrerbrigaden) einsetzt, sich öffentlich mit dem wegen islamistischer und antisemitischer Terroraufrufe kürzlich vom Bundesinnenministeri-um verbotenen Islamischen Zentrum Hamburg (IZH) solidarisiert (und die Aufhebung des Verbots fordert) und bereits in seiner Netzwerk-Gründungserklärung im Dezember 2023 Ter-rorangriffe auf die israelische Gesellschaft gutheißt.
Aber wir werden nicht schweigen, und wir lassen uns nicht einschüchtern!
How much more cynical contempt for women is actually possible?
Every decent human being would have expected that all civilized persons in the world (espe-cially women and global women’s organisations) would be united in their outrage and fight for justice for the victims. Instead, the reactions ranged from deafening silence to completely cynical and dehumanised labelling of this horror as “fiction” and denying it took place – for the one and only reason that the victims were Jewish.
When will global women’s right groups scream for the punishment of the Islamist rapists?
When will the court in Den Haag proceed against Hamas’ war crimes against women?
When will the U.N.s cowardly chauvinist-in-chief, António Guterres (who is never slow to condemn Israel, but needed seven weeks before he even mentioned the genocide against women by Hamas) finally condescend to do something about Hamas’ gang-rapes and system-atic sexual atrocities against Israeli women?
WHEN WILL JEWISH WOMEN FINALLY SEE JUSTICE??
An introduction into one of the most fascinating places in the Ancient World that still offers immense possibilities of research and new insights, from Iron Age to Late Antiquity.
