199244426Oxford University Press. 1992. Hardcover. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Book is fine. DJ has creasing along upper edge of DJ.; In the ancient Greco-Roman world it was common practice to curse or bind an enemy or rival by writing an incantation on a tablet and dedicating it to a god or spirit. These curses or binding spells commonly called defixiones were intended to bring other people under the power and control of those who commissioned them. More than a thousand such texts written between the 5th Century B. C. E. And the 5th Century C. E. have been discovered from North Africa to England and from Syria to Spain. Extending into every aspect of ancient life--athletic and theatrical competitions judicial proceedings love affairs business rivalries and the recovery of stolen property--they shed light on a new dimension of classical study previously inaccessible. Here for the first time these texts have been translated into English with a substantial translator's introduction revealing the cultural social and historical context for the texts.; 296 pages . 0195062264 .

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 .

20061425Brill Academic Publishers. 2006. Hardcover. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 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 .

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 .
