200937158University of Toronto Press. 2009. Hardcover. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Gift inscription from author to Bonnie MacLachlan on ffep. Else fine. DJ has very minor shelfwear.; The Robson Classical Lectures; 256 pages; Based on Elaine Fantham's 2004 Robson lectures Latin Poets and Italian Gods reconstructs the response of Roman poets in the late republic and Augustan age to the rural cults of central Italy. Study of Roman gods is often limited to the grand equivalents of the Olympian Greek deities such as Jupiter Mars and Juno. However real-life Italians gave a lot of their affection and loyalty to humbler gods with no Greek equivalent: local nymphs who supplied healing waters the great Tiber river and other lesser rivers the lusty garden god Priapus and more. Latin Poets and Italian Gods surveys the representation of these old country gods in poets from Plautus to Statius. Fantham offers historical and epigraphic evidence of worship offered to these colourful lesser spirits and reveals the emotional importance of local Italian deities to the sophisticated poets of the Augustan age.; Signed by Author . 1442640596 .

200333458Cambridge University Press. 2003. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Light edgewear along top edge of DJ. Very faint shelfwear to book else fine.; This book deals specifically with sixteenth-century depictions of the Olympian deities the twelve supreme deities of ancient Greece and Rome. As the Renaissance revived several aspects of antiquity some great works of art represented the Olympians in imitation of the classical style. These deities were rendered as autonomous figures in the form of representation adapted for depicting saints and Christian rulers. This form of depicting the Olympians or the pagan gods was not unanimously accepted by sixteenth-century viewers. The book highlights the problematic framework surrounding the creation display and acceptance of such thought-provoking works of art.; 9.7 X 7.2 X 1.0 inches; 318 pages . 0521815762 .

New in plastic wrapping; Religions in the Graeco-Roman World 157; 9 x 2.5 x 5 Inches; 447 pages; This study deals essentially with the knowledge of the Palestinian Rabbis concerning paganism in the days of Mishna and Talmud. The Late Professor Saul Lieberman wrote that "Many isolated items on idolatry and idol worshippers are scattered all over rabbinic literature. It would require a large volume to treat this topic". This valuable and exhaustive study proves methodically that the Rabbis had deeper knowledge about Syrian Arabian Anatolian and Graeco-Roman Pagan cults than is commonly believed. Clear accessible and displaying considerable scholarship this work will undoubtedly provide an important challenge to both historians archaeologists and scholars of Rabbinic texts. Cette étude traite essentiellement du niveau de connaissances des Rabbins de Judée et de Galilée concernant les cultes païens dans le sens le plus large du terme. Le Professeur Saul Lieberman affirmait : "Many isolated items on idolatry and idol worshippers are scattered all over rabbinic literature. It would require a large volume to treat this topic" Ce travail exhaustif à travers l’ensemble du corpus talmudique et au regard de la réalité historique propre à la Palestine romaine montre méthodiquement que les connaissances des Sages tant sur les divinités du paganisme que sur des rites syriens arabes anatoliens voire gréco-romains étaient bien plus vastes et approfondies que ce qu’il est communément admis aujourd’hui par la recherche historique. De part sa clareté et son accessibilité ce livre intéressera aussi bien les historiens du peuple juif que ceux des religions antiques. Les archéologues les historiens du Levant à l’époque romaine ainsi que les spécialistes de la littérature talmudique y trouveront également un vif intérêt en vertu de son aspect extrêmement novateur. . 9004146431 .

201317397Franz Steiner Verlag. 2013. Hardcover. Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. In ancient Greece religion and politics were inextricably linked. This symbiosis manifests itself particularly clearly in Greek sanctuaries as locations of both cult practices and political activities. A colloquium held at Munster aimed at analysing the formative function of trans-regional sanctuaries in mainland Greece and on the Greek islands in the genesis and legitimisation of political order in Greek tribal alliances and federal states from the Archaic down to the Hellenistic period. Religion und Politik waren im antiken Griechenland auf das Engste miteinander verwoben. Besonders deutlich manifestiert sich diese Symbiose in griechischen Heiligtumern als Orten kultischer Handlungen und zugleich politischen Agierens. Das Munsteraner Kolloquium analysiert die formative Funktion uberregionaler Heiligtumer in Griechenland und der griechischen Inselwelt bei der Genese und Legitimation von politischer Ordnung in griechischen Stammesbunden und Bundesstaaten von der archaischen bis in die hellenistische Zeit.; 244 pages . 3515103074 .
