Erudita opera del Gesuita Dionisi, nato a Verona nel 1724, canonico e bibliotecario a Bologna. L'A. trae gli esempi che andrà via via enumerando, dalle iscrizioni cristiane, dal Decameron e da Dante: florilegio delle "espressioni di riverenza e d'affetto, o di desiderio, o di lutto, o di preghiera, o di lode, segnate sopra i sepolcri". L'A. si ispira al Fabretti, Boldretti, Maffei, Muratori, Zaccaria. I capitoli spiegano come decifrare correttamente iscrizioni con sigle inintelligibili, scambio di lettere, con omissioni di lettere o sillabe, parole ridondanti o mancanti, disgiunte o in fallo. L'A. analizza la "stampa Mannelli" delle novelle del Boccaccio, correggendo e spiegando. Una delle rarissime copie con allegata l'incisione allegorica disegnata da Guarana ed incisa dal Gianpiccoli.

New English Paperback. 4to. (28 x 23 cm). In English. 299, [1] p., color and b/w ills. Death in Istanbul: Death and its rituals in Ottoman Islamic culture. The idea of an exhibition/catalogue on death may not sound very pleasant. After all, it is only natural to experience some discomfort, displeasure, anxiety, even disgust in the face of a phenomenon that may summon painful memories and provoke fears about the future. Yet, there is no denying that death, once tamed as an abstract notion or concept, can become a powerful tool for social analysis. It can thus become a fascinating area of study, likely to reveal much about the culture, mentalities and social structure of a given society. This is what this exhibition and its catalogue hope to attain. Their objective is to try to pinpoint, through hopefully representative examples, the ways in which death has been perceived by the Muslim population of Ottoman Istanbul throughout five centuries of existence, and to understand the role it may have played in the life of the Imperial capital." To maintain a certain consistency, this publication has been limited to the period from 1453 to 1922 and deals uniquely with the culture and mentalities of the Muslim population within the boundaries of the Ottoman capital, Istanbul. Underlying the work is the notion of change in Ottoman death culture over this five-century period with a particular emphasis on the significant transformations which occurred in the 19th century. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach to balance the varying viewpoints on death contributed by ethnography, urban history, anthropology, political history and philology, this work is designed as a collection of case studies regrouped under a number of general headings, including amongst others, Death and the City, Empire and Death, the Birth of the Ottoman Tombstone, Suicide, Dealing with Death, Women, Aspects of Modernity, and State, Nation and Death.

"Hemingway became a bullfighting aficionado after seeing the Pamplona fiesta in the 1920s, which he wrote about in The Sun Also Rises. In Death in the Afternoon, Hemingway explores the metaphysics of bullfighting the ritualized, almost religious practice that he considered analogous to the writer's search for meaning and the essence of life. In bullfighting, he found the elemental nature of life and death." [Wikipedia]

Very faint creasing to wraps. ; In this innovative book Dr Morris seeks to show the many ways in which the excavated remains of burials can and should be a major source of evidence for social historians of the ancient Graeco-Roman world. Burials have a far wider geographical and social range than the surviving literary texts, which were mainly written for a small elite. They provide us with unique insights into how Greeks and Romans constituted and interpreted their own communities. In particular, burials enable the historian to study social change. Ian Morris illustrates the great potential of the material in these respects with examples drawn from societies as diverse in time, space and political context as archaic Rhodes, classical Athens, early imperial Rome and the last days of the western Roman empire.1.
