Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western law, based on agriculture and industry, cannot deal with the virtual worlds created by the Internet, argues Mancini. The ancient Romans and Egyptians, on the other hand, were adept at virtuality, an intangible world that intersected with the tangible one, and it is to their laws that she turns for new frameworks and practices. Her study was accepted at a doctoral dissertation at the French National Scientific Research Center Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book Maat Revealed Philosophy of Justice in Ancient Egypt written by Anna Mancini and published by BUENOS BOOKS AMERICA LLC. This book was released on 2004 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Categories: Egyptology, philosophy of law, history of religions Unlike ancient Rome, Egypt did not transmit any legal system to us, but rather an idea of justice our modern minds can hardly understand. In the ancient Egyptian world, almost all the texts and inscriptions speak of justice. All the texts of wisdom teach that one has to conform to Maat, an obscure and omnipresent concept that Egyptologists have translated into the expression "Goddess of Truth and Justice." Egyptian justice is so different from ours that Egyptologists and historians of religions believe they have not yet fully understood its meaning. They regret this fact because understanding Maat would be a gateway to a deeper understanding of the ancient Egyptian world. As for lawyers, they have limited themselves to the Greco-Roman sources on the philosophy of Justice and the discoveries of Egyptologists in this philosophical field remain thoroughly ignored. Thanks to her experience in ancient history of law and her ability to understand ancient symbols, the author provides Egyptology with the missing pieces that were needed to form a coherent image of Maat. Once revealed, Maat sheds a new and unexpected light on the whole of Egyptian civilization. As a bridge between traditionally separate fields of academic research, this book is a useful and groundbreaking contribution to Egyptology, the history of religions and the modern philosophy of law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pharaoh without a Shadow A novel by Martine Le Coz [This book is written in French.] L'épouse d'Aménophis III met au monde un fils à tête d'oeuf. Mauvais présage, disent les oracles. A la mort de son père, l'héritier proclame Dieu unique, Aton le solaire. L'Égypte tremble. A Thèbes, les prêtres implorent le jeune pharaon de préserver la multitude des dieux. Marié à Néphertiti, il bâtit la Cité de l'Horizon où il exhorte son peuple à la communion nouvelle. Les prêtres insoumis poursuivent leurs célébrations, invoquent les forces de la magie et l'ombre se profile derrière la silhouette du pharaon. The wife of Amenophis III gives birth to a son with an egg-shaped head. A bad omen, say the oracles. At his father's death, the heir proclaims a single God, Aton the sun. Egypt trembles. In Thebes, the priests plead with the young pharaoh to preserve the multitude of deities. Married to Nephertiti, he builds the City of the Horizon, where he urges his people to follow the new religion. The rebellious priests continue with their own celebrations, invoking the forces of magic and the shadow emerges behind the silhouette of the pharaoh.

Download or read book Boundaries and History in Africa written by Willibroad Dze-Ngwa and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compromises 26 well-researched essays in honour of Professor Verkijika G. Fanso, who retired in 2011 after over 36 years of distinguished service at universities in Cameroon. Contributors include colleagues, former students and close collaborators in Cameroon and beyond. Contributions cover a wide range of issues related to the contested histories, politics and practices of boundaries and frontiers in Africa. These are themes on which Fanso has researched, published and taught extensively, and earned international recognition as a leading scholar. The book explores, inter alia, indigenous and endogenous practices of boundary making in Africa; as well as colonial and contemporary traditions, practices and conflicts on and around frontiers. In particular focus, are disputed colonial boundaries between Cameroon and its neighbours. Issues of intra- and inter-disciplinary frontiers, politics and cultures are also addressed. The volume is crowned by a farewell valedictory lecture by Fanso. Like Fanso and his rich repertoire of publications, this bumper harvest of essays is without doubt, truly immortalising.

Download or read book Studies in the Reception of the Historia Scholastica of Peter Comestor written by Maria Sherwood-Smith and published by Medium Aevum Monographs, New Series. This book was released on 2000 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historia Scholastica (circa 1170) mingles biblical narrative, Jewish legends, and commentary, and was a popular source of biblical material for authors until the Reformation. Maria Sherwood-Smith gives an introduction to the sources and transmission of the Latin work before investigating its reception in detail in two thirteenth-century German works, the Schwarzwälder Predigten and the Weltchronik of Rudolf von Ems. Briefer analyses of Jacob van Maerlant's Scholastica and the Historiebijbel van 1360 provide further context. Looking in this way at the different functions the work fulfils for later authors, one discerns a growing awareness of the distinction between it and the text of the Bible. It is suggested that this enhances the Historia Scholastica's reputation as a safeguard of orthodoxy.

Download or read book Egypt in the Age of the Pyramids written by Guillemette Andreu and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andreu describes the Egyptians as they spend a day in the marshes with family and friends. They glide on light skiffs through the papyrus plants, stopping occasionally to marvel at the marsh creatures: frogs, butterflies, kingfishers, ibises, herons, lapwings, weasels, and mongooses. Because the marshes also shelter crocodiles and hippopotamuses, the day is not without its perils.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a cruel disease, robbing patients of core human characteristics and wreaking havoc with relationships. Clinical and scientific interest in FTD and related disorders continues to grow rapidly, with major advances having occurred since this book's last publication. New clinical diagnostic criteria were published in 2011; new pathological discoveries have led to new diagnostic criteria; and major genetic discoveries have been made. This new edition covers these developments, providing the leading resource on FTD, PPA, PSP, CBD, FTD-ALS, and related disorders, now written by a more internationally representative group of authors than before. Providing an in-depth and expert synthesis of the status of our knowledge of FTD and related syndromes, the content includes chapters reviewing clinical, neuropsychiatric, neuropsychological, imaging, and other features of FTD and multidisciplinary approaches to patient management. Essential reading for specialist and generalist neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, neuropsychologists, neuropathologists, and basic scientists in relevant fields.
Download or read book Egypt and Cyprus in Antiquity written by D. Michaelides and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2009-10-30 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international conference "Egypt and Cyprus in Antiquity" held in Nicosia in April 2003 filled an important gap in historical knowledge about Cyprus' relations with its neighbours. While the island's links with the Aegean and the Levant have been well documented and continue to be the subject of much archaeological attention, the exchanges between Cyprus and the Nile Valley are not as well known and have not before been comprehensively reviewed. They range in date from the mid third millennium B.C. to Late Antiquity and encompass every kind of interconnection, including political union. Their novelty lies in the marked differences between the ancient civilisations of Cyprus and Egypt, the distance between them geographically, which could be bridged only by ship, and the unusual ways they influenced each other's material and spiritual cultures. The papers delivered at the conference covered every aspect of the relationship, with special emphasis on the tangible evidence for the movement of goods, people and ideas between the two countries over a 3000 year period.
