Milman Parry


Milman Parry (June 23, 1902 – December 3, 1935) was an American scholar of epic poetry and the founder of the discipline of oral tradition. He was born in 1902, graduated from Oakland Technical High School in 1919, and studied at the University of California, Berkeley (B.A. and M.A.) and at the Sorbonne (Ph.D.). A student of the linguist Antoine Meillet at the Sorbonne, Parry revolutionized Homeric studies. In his dissertations, which were published in French in 1928, he demonstrated that the Homeric

In 1923, a year before Parry began his studies with Meillet, the latter wrote the following (which, in the first of his two French theses, Parry quotes): Meillet offered the opinion that oral-formulaic composition might be a distinctive feature of orally transmitted epics (which the "Iliad" was said to be). He suggested to Parry that he observe the mechanics of a living oral tradition to confirm whether that suggestion was valid; he also introduced Parry to the Slovenian

in Bosnia where literacy was lowest and the oral tradition was, in the term used by Parry and Lord, "purest". The two are now famous for their work in orality/literacy, which has come to be known as the Parry/Lord thesis. In his American publications of the 1930s Parry introduced the hypothesis (first suggested to him by Meillet and amply demonstrated in his own fieldwork) that the formulaic structure of Homeric epic is to be explained as a characteristic feature of oral composition (the so-called

In 1937, shortly after the death of Parry, Lord went to Albania, began learning Albanian, and travelled throughout Albania collecting Albanian heroic verses, which are now preserved in the Milman Parry Collection at Harvard University. Parry wrote the following of this endeavor: "While in Novi Pazar, Parry had recorded several Albanian songs from one of the singers who sang in both languages. The musical

Avdo Međedović ( – 1953) was a "guslar" (gusle player and oral poet) from Sandžak. He was the most versatile and skillful performer of all those encountered by Milman Parry and Albert Lord during their research on the oral epic tradition of Bosnia, Herzegovina and Montenegro in the 1930s. At Parry's request Avdo undertook to produce an epic of similar extent to the "Iliad" (15,690 lines), since Parry needed to investigate whether a poet in an oral tradition would be able to maintain a theme over

Murray was an Analyst, but his 1907 book "The Rise of the Greek Epic" contained some of the core ideas of Oralism: particularly the idea that the epics were the end result of a protracted process of evolution, and the idea that an individual poet named Homer had relatively little importance in their history. The two figures at the head of Oralism are Milman Parry and his student Albert Lord, who continued his work after Parry's premature death. Parry

Harvard University. Parry's influence is evident in the work of later scholars who have argued that there is a fundamental break in the institutional structure between Homeric Greece and Platonic Greece, a break characterized by the transition from an oral culture to a written culture. This line of thought holds that oral poetry, in Homeric society, served as a sort of log of institutional and cultural practices. In a written culture, written logs take the place of oral poetry. This thesis is associated with Eric Havelock, who cites Parry.

Milman Parry and Albert Lord have pointed out that such elaborate oral tradition, foreign to today's literate cultures, is typical of epic poetry in an exclusively oral culture. The crucial words here are "oral" and "traditional". Parry starts with the former: the repetitive chunks of language, he says, were inherited by the singer-poet

book. At this time, parallel to the interest shown in Albania in the collection of the songs, Yugoslav scholars became interested in the illiterate bards of the Sanjak and Bosnia. This had aroused the interest of Milman Parry, a Homeric scholar from Harvard University, and his then assistant, Albert Lord. Parry and Lord stayed in Bosnia for a year (1934–1935) and recorded 12,500 texts. Out of the five bards they recorded, four were Albanians: Salih Ugljanin, Djemal Zogic, Sulejman Makic, and Alija Fjuljanin.

In Albania, the first known recorder of the verse were Franciscan clergy. This initial documentation culminated in the 1937 publication of volumes titled "Visaret e Kombit" (The Treasures of the Nation). Meanwhile, Harvard Scholars Milman Parry and Albert Bates Lord began to explore the traditional Albanian songs. Parry and Lord sought to uncover how the Homeric epics were composed.

This theory showed how stock phrases could enable poets to improvise verse. One consequence of Parry and Lord's work is that orally improvised poetry (as opposed to poetry which is composed without the use of writing but then memorised and performed later) is sometimes seen as the example "par excellence" of oral poetry. Examples of orally improvised poetry are

Parry and Lord also contend that the most likely source for written texts of the epics of Homer was dictation from an oral performance.

These works form the basis of the epic genre in Western literature. Nearly all of Western epic (including Virgil's "Aeneid" and Dante

Meillet introduced him to Matija Murko, who had worked on oral epic traditions in Yugoslavia and had made phonograph recordings of some performances.

An analysis of the structure and vocabulary of the "Iliad" and "Odyssey" shows that the poems contain many regular and repeated phrases; indeed, even entire verses are repeated.

In 1920, Milman Parry, in his master's thesis, discovered that the stylistic quirks and bizarre repetition found in the "Odyssey" and the "Iliad" were evidence of the works' oral transmission. The use of "clever Odysseus" and "swift-footed Achilles" is this evidence. Walter Ong, priest, philosopher, and English professor, has found that people remember best when things are rhythmic and repeated. This repetition is in use in many fairy tales.

Research by Milman Parry and Albert Lord indicates that the verse of the Greek poet Homer has been passed down (at least in the Serbo-Croatian epic tradition) not by rote memorization but by "Oral-formulaic composition".

Oral-formulaic composition


Oral-formulaic composition is a theory that originated in the scholarly study of epic poetry and was developed in the second quarter of the twentieth century. It seeks to explain two related issues: The key idea of the theory is that poets have a store of formulas (a formula being 'an expression that is regularly used, under the same metrical conditions, to express a particular essential idea') and that by linking the formulas in conventionalised ways, poets can rapidly compose verse.

The latter work follows on from the Homeric studies of Milman Parry who turned to "the study of the Yugoslave epics" to prove that the poems of Homer were oral compositions.

Instead, sustained thought in oral settings depends on interpersonal communication, and storing complex ideas over a long period of time requires packaging them in highly memorable ways, generally by using mnemonic tools.

In the past he was a President of the Israel Mathematical Union and a member of the “Aliyah” committee of Tel-Aviv University. Milman received his Ph.D. at Kharkiv State University in 1965 under the direction of Boris Levin. In a 1971 paper, Milman gave a new proof of Dvoretzky's theorem, stating that every convex body in dimension "N" has a

section of dimension "d(N)", with "d(N)" tending to infinity with "N", that is arbitrarily close to being isometric to an ellipsoid. Milman's proof gives the optimal bound "d(N)" ≥ const log "N". In this proof, Milman put forth the concentration of measure phenomenon which has since found numerous applications. Milman made important contributions to the study of Banach spaces of large (finite) dimension, which led to the development of asymptotic geometric analysis. His results in this

Milman's reverse Brunn–Minkowski inequality


In mathematics, particularly, in asymptotic convex geometry, Milman's reverse Brunn–Minkowski inequality is a result due to Vitali Milman that provides a reverse inequality to the famous Brunn–Minkowski inequality for convex bodies in "n"-dimensional Euclidean space R. Namely, it bounds the volume of the Minkowski sum of two bodies from above in terms of the volumes of the bodies. Let "K" and "L" be convex bodies in R. The Brunn–Minkowski inequality states that where vol denotes "n"-dimensional Lebesgue measure and the + on

statement proved by Mark Krein and David Milman was somewhat less general than this. Hermann Minkowski had already proved that if formula_1 is 3-dimensional then formula_2 equals the convex hull of the set of its extreme points. This assertion was expanded to the case of any finite dimension by Ernst Steinitz. The Krein–Milman theorem generalizes this to arbitrary locally convex formula_1, with a caveat: the closure may be needed. The axiom of choice, or some weaker version of it, is needed to prove this theorem in Zermelo–Fraenkel set
