Download or read book The Heavens and the Earth Graeco Roman Ancient Chinese and Mediaeval Islamic Images of the World written by Vittorio Cotesta and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vittorio Cotesta’s The Heavens and the Earth traces the origin of the images of the world typical of the Graeco-Roman, Ancient Chinese and Medieval Islamic civilisations. Each of them had its own peculiar way of understanding the universe, life, death, society, power, humanity and its destiny. The comparative analysis carried out here suggests that they all shared a common human aspiration despite their differences: human being is unique; differences are details which enrich its image. Today, the traditions derived from these civilisations are often in competition and conflict. Reference to a common vision of humanity as a shared universal entity should lead, instead, to a quest for understanding and dialogue.

Download or read book Localized Law written by Kimberley Czajkowski and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early second century CE, two Jewish women, Babatha and Salome Komaise, lived in the village of Maoza on the southern coast of the Dead Sea, which came under direct Roman rule in 106 CE. The archives these two women left behind provide a tantalizing glimpse into the ways in which the inhabitants of this region interacted with their new rulers and how this affected the practice of law in this part of the Roman Empire. The papers provide details of the women's property, marriages, and disputes, and are remarkable in their legal diversity: Nabataean, Roman, Greek, and Jewish legal elements are all in evidence. Consequently, identifying the supposed 'operative law' of the documents has proven a highly contentious task, with scholarly advocates of each of these traditions have failed to reach any true consensus. This volume proposes a change in focus: instead of attempting to idenify the 'legal system' behing the documents, it seeks instead to understand the 'legal culture' of the community that produced them. Through a series of case studies of the ways in which the people involved in the creation of the papyri variously perceived and approached their legal transactions, it argues that concentration on these different agents' understandings will ultimately help scholars to better understand the actual funtioning of law and justice both in this particular village and in other small communities in the Roman Empire --Back cover.
Download or read book Material Aspects of Letter Writing in the Graeco Roman World written by Antonia Sarri and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letter writing was widespread in the Graeco-Roman world, as indicated by the large number of surviving letters and their extensive coverage of all social categories. Despite a large amount of work that has been done on the topic of ancient epistolography, material and formatting conventions have remained underexplored, mainly due to the difficulty of accessing images of letters in the past. Thanks to the increasing availability of digital images and the appearance of more detailed and sophisticated editions, we are now in a position to study such aspects. This book examines the development of letter writing conventions from the archaic to Roman times, and is based on a wide corpus of letters that survive on their original material substrates. The bulk of the material is from Egypt, but the study takes account of comparative evidence from other regions of the Graeco-Roman world. Through analysis of developments in the use of letters, variations in formatting conventions, layout and authentication patterns according to the sociocultural background and communicational needs of writers, this book sheds light on changing trends in epistolary practice in Graeco-Roman society over a period of roughly eight hundred years. This book will appeal to scholars of Epistolography, Papyrology, Palaeography, Classics, Cultural History of the Graeco-Roman World.

Download or read book A Lexicon of Greek Personal Names written by T. Corsten and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-03-04 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Lexicon of Greek Personal Names offers scholars a comprehensive listing of all named individuals from the ancient Greek-speaking world. The information needed has been compiled from all written sources, literary, epigraphical, papyrological, and numismatic, within a chronological range from the eighth century BC to approximately 600 AD; the geographical limits match the use of the Greek language in antiquity, from Asia Minor to the Western Mediterranean, the Black Sea to North Africa. With the present volume, LGPN moves into Asia Minor (modern Turkey), to the areas of Pontos, Bithynia, Mysia, the Troad, Aiolis, Ionia, and Lydia. Asia Minor is particularly interesting since it differs from most other regions covered so far in its ethnic and cultural diversity. Personal names are known in abundance from almost all cultures to be found in this area, and they therefore play a prominent role in the study of ethnicity and acculturation.
