Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The necessity of studying Arabic dialects has attracted more attention in the recent years. Qatar University chose to support the growing academic interest and research in the field by hosting the Association Internationale de Dialectologie Arabe (AIDA) conference in 2013. The AIDA10 conference and the tenth volume of AIDA proceedings show that a good deal of change and development in the field is occurring. Fewer papers deal on hitherto unknown dialects as the white spots on the map of Arabic dialects have significantly shrunk. More papers focus on syntactical issues because we now possess more and larger text collections. Papers using "change" in their titles indicate that Arabic dialectology has a long history. The time has come to re-examine the studies of the 1940s, 50s, and 60s concerning the dialects of certain regions. This book includes twenty one essays with six written in French.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A joke, one might think, knowing that ancient grammar famously lacked a syntactic component. Not so, say the scholars: the very absence of the category syntax calls for theoretical and historical analysis, and a scratch at the surface reveals that ancient grammarians did indeed recognize and deal with various aspects of syntax. The 16 papers, five of them in English and the others in German or French, look at syntactic description and reflection in antiquity, Alexandrian grammarians and syntax, virtues and vices of speech, and the Latin and Byzantine heritage.

Download or read book The Mechanics of Ancient Egyptian Magical Practice written by Robert Kriech Ritner and published by Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures. This book was released on 1993 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date, no comprehensive treatment of Egyptian magic has focused on the practice of the magician. Both general studies and textual publications have emphasized instead the religious elements in the contents of recited spells, while the accompanying instructions, with their vignettes and lists of materials, instruments, and ritual actions, remained uninvestigated. This study represents the first critical examination of such "magical techniques," revealing their widespread appearance and pivotal significance for all Egyptian "religious" practices from the earliest periods through the Coptic era, influencing as well the Greco-Egyptian magical papyri. The author also discusses the "pagan-Egyptian" influence on Old and New Testament practices and in the lives of the Coptic Desert Fathers. The third edition is a reprinting of the second, which included minor corrections from the original edition. This volume is a significant revisionist approach to ancient Egyptian magic. As a result of a methodical analysis of both the textual and archaeological records, Ritner concludes that the boundaries between ancient Egyptian magic, religion, and medicine were not as strictly observed as modern commentators believe. Furthermore, he categorically denies the frequent attempts of moderns to define ancient Egyptian magic as a phenomenon dealing with the supernatural, practiced primarily for nefarious purposes sub rosa by strictly observed as modern commentators believe. Furthermore, he categorically denies the frequent attempts of moderns to define ancient Egyptian magic as a phenomenon dealing with the supernatural, practiced primarily for nefarious purposes sub rosa by individuals outside of the religious mainstream. Ritner's engaging prose style and felicitous exegesis of even the most arcane material make for easy reading. But more important still, the content of the work ensures that it will become a vital reference tool for all engaged in any aspect of ancient Egyptian religion. [From a review by R. S. Bianchi in Journal of the American Oriental Society 114 (1994) 513-14].

Download or read book Lexique franco gyptien written by Wadie Boutros and published by Institut français d'archéologie orientale du Caire - IFAO. This book was released on 2000 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le présent lexique a été conçu pour tous ceux qui s’intéressent à l’Égypte et à sa culture, ayant ou non une connaissance de l’arabe littéraire ou d’autres dialectes arabes. En raison du caractère fluctuant de l’arabe parlé, nous avons évité aussi bien les traductions trop relevées que celles jugées trop familières, pour nous attacher à une langue « intermédiaire ». Cette langue parlée privilégie les mots concrets ou, à défaut, les périphrases. Les mots et les phrases sont intrinsèquement liés à une situation donnée qui est celle de la vie courante. Ce lexique a été réalisé sur la base du premier ouvrage du genre, celui de Jacques Jomier. Le parler du Caire, lexique pratique français-arabe, publié par l’Ifao en 1976 et réédité en 1990. Au-delà de sa simple mise à jour, rendue nécessaire par l’évolution de la langue, on s’est attaché à étendre le vocabulaire couvert et à enrichir la liste des mots arabes correspondant aux différents sens d’un même terme français. Il a également paru utile de présenter les mots en écriture arabe et pas seulement en transcription latine. Pour autant, par sa taille, ce lexique ne saurait prétendre au nom de dictionnaire

Download or read book A History of World Egyptology written by Andrew Bednarski and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-27 with total page 1135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of World Egyptology is a ground-breaking reference work that traces the study of ancient Egypt over the past 150 years. Global in purview, it enlarges our understanding of how and why people have looked, and continue to look, into humankind's distant past through the lens of the enduring allure of ancient Egypt. Written by an international team of scholars, the volume investigates how territories around the world have engaged with, and have been inspired by, ancient Egypt and its study, and how that engagement has evolved over time. Chapters present a specific territory from different perspectives, including institutional and national, while examining a range of transnational links as well. The volume thus touches on multiple strands of scholarship, embracing not only Egyptology, but also social history, the history of science and reception studies. It will appeal to amateurs and professionals with an interest in the histories of Egypt, archaeology and science.
