Download or read book Le Cycle de Abd al Mu alib written by Aomar Hannouz and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to demonstrate that the accounts that feature Muḥammad’s grandfather in Ibn Isḥāq’s Sīra are the product of narrative engineering. Through a narrative sequence in which ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib is the hero, several intriguing episodes follow one another in a causal manner and lead to the birth of a future prophet. Articulated with a historical anthropology, the narrative analysis reveals that the Sīra is the heir to the royal literature of the ancient Near East. Using motifs and themes from the culture of the Fertile Crescent, the Sīra makes ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib a royal figure in the service of legitimising the Abbasid dynasty, heir par excellence to Ishmael and restorer of the Abrahamic covenant. Cet ouvrage entend démontrer que les récits qui mettent en scène le grand-père de Muḥammad dans la Sīra d’Ibn Isḥāq sont le produit d’une ingé nierie narrative. À travers une séquence narrative dont ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib est le héros, plusieurs épisodes intriguants s’enchainent d’une manière cau sale et aboutissent à la naissance d’un futur pro phète. Articulée à une anthropologie historique, l’analyse narrative révèle que la Sīra est l’héritière de la littérature royale du Proche-Orient ancien. À partir de motifs et de thématiques issus de la culture du croissant fertile, la Sīra fait de ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib une figure royale au service de la légitimation de la dynastie abbasside, héritier par excellence d’Ismaël et restaurateur de l’alliance abrahamique.
Download or read book Egypt and the Classical World written by Jeffrey Spier and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2022-07-26 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting dynamic research, this publication explores two millennia of cultural interactions between Egypt, Greece, and Rome. From Mycenaean weaponry found among the cargo of a Bronze Age shipwreck off the Turkish coast to the Egyptian-inspired domestic interiors of a luxury villa built in Greece during the Roman Empire, Egypt and the Classical World documents two millennia of cultural and artistic interconnectedness in the ancient Mediterranean. This volume gathers pioneering research from the Getty scholars' symposium that helped shape the major international loan exhibition Beyond the Nile: Egypt and the Classical World (J. Paul Getty Museum, 2018). Generously illustrated essays consider a range of artistic and other material evidence, including archaeological finds, artworks, papyri, and inscriptions, to shed light on cultural interactions between Egypt, Greece, and Rome from the Bronze Age to the Late Period and Ptolemaic dynasty to the Roman Empire. The military's role as a conduit of knowledge and ideas in the Bronze Age Aegean, and an in-depth study of hieroglyphic Egyptian inscriptions found on Roman obelisks offer but two examples of scholarly lacunae addressed by this publication. Specialists across the fields of art history, archaeology, Classics, Egyptology, and philology will benefit from the volume's investigations into syncretic processes that enlivened and informed nearly twenty-five hundred years of dynamic cultural exchange. The free online edition of this open-access publication is available at www.getty.edu/publications/egypt-classical-world/ and includes zoomable, high-resolution photography. Also available are free PDF, EPUB, and Kindle/MOBI downloads of the book.
Download or read book Art royal et initiation dans l gypte antique written by Jean-Marie Brunier and published by ATHOR. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La « Montée Royale » des rois d’Égypte, à tort appelés « Pharaons », était secrète et sacrée. Le roi, véritable dieu sur terre, dans cette théocratie qui régissait le royaume, en était le « pontife suprême ». En lui, se concentrait tous les pouvoirs aussi bien temporel que spirituel. Le roi, à l’égal du dieu « Hâpy », était reponsable de la profusion de la nature et de la puissance fécondante du fleuve nourricier. Étant le « berger de son peuple », le « berger qui soulage », le roi se devait d’en être non seulement le « père de justice », mais aussi le « père nourricier », c'est-à-dire le père qui, soucieux du bien-être de tous, d’un regard attentif, élève ses enfants.

Download or read book tre un enfant en gypte ancienne written by Amandine Marshall and published by . This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il n'y a pas de société, pas de famille, pas de reconnaissance sociale sans enfant.. La façon dont les enfants étaient perçus, intégrés et élevés au sein de la famille et de la communauté établit les fondements même de la société égyptienne. Si la vie quotidienne des jeunes Egyptiens ayant dépassé le stade de la petite enfance est le propos central du livre, il ne sera toutefois pas question d'une plongée dans leur univers. En effet, les sources antiques émanent principalement d'adultes masculins peu enclins à s'intéresser à la condition d'enfant. Le ressenti des jeunes Egyptiens et tout ce qui se rapporte à la sphère affective ne pourra donc jamais être déduit des sources. En revanche, la confrontation de quelque 6 600 documents établis sur une période de 3 500 ans aboutit à une réflexion plus générale sur la perception de l'enfant dans la civilisation égyptienne. Quels enseignements peut-on tirer de la façon dont. l'enfant était représenté dans l'iconographie ? Comment était-il considéré par ses aînés ? Quels étaient ses rapports avec le monde adulte ? Quel était le quotidien d'un fils d'artisan ? Quel était celui d'un fils de fonctionnaire ? Quels jeux et jouets divertissaient les enfants ? Les enfants étaient-ils vraiment. enrôlés très jeunes dans l'armée comme plusieurs textes le soulignent ? Quels moyens étaient engagés pour protéger les enfants des maladies, des démons et des revenants ? L'enfant avait-il un statut particulier au regard de la loi, de la société et à celui de l'Etat égyptien ? Richement documenté et illustré par presque deux cents planches et dessins, cet ouvrage offre un éclairage inédit sur l'enfance en Egypte ancienne.

Download or read book Triangular Landscapes written by Katherine Blouin and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the Roman annexation of Egypt and the Arab period, the Nile Delta went from consisting of seven branches to two, namely the current Rosetta and Damietta branches. For historians, this may look like a slow process, but on a geomorphological scale, it is a rather fast one. How did it happen? How did human action contribute to the phenomenon? Why did it start around the Roman period? And how did it impact on ancient Deltaic communities? This volume reflects on these questions by focusing on a district of the north-eastern Delta called the Mendesian Nome. The Mendesian Nome is one of the very few Deltaic zones documented by a significant number of papyri. To date, this documentation has never been subject to a comprehensive study. Yet it provides us with a wealth of information on the region's landscape, administrative geography, and agrarian economy. Starting from these papyri and from all available evidence, this volume investigates the complex networks of relationships between Mendesian environments, socio-economic dynamics, and agro-fiscal policies. Ultimately, it poses the question of the "otherness" of the Nile Delta, within Egypt and, more broadly, the Roman Empire. Section I sets the broader hydrological, documentary, and historical contexts from which the Roman-period Mendesian evidence stem. Section II is dedicated to the reconstruction of the Mendesian landscape, while section III examines the strategies of diversification and the modes of valorization of marginal land attested in the nome. Finally, section IV analyses the socio-environmental crisis that affected the nome in the second half of the second century AD.

Download or read book Flora Trade Between Egypt and Africa in Antiquity written by Ilaria Incordino and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2017-05-31 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, study of the ancient Egyptian natural world and its classification has adopted innovative approaches involving new technologies of analysis and a multidisciplinary general view. This collection of papers focuses on one particularly important aspect of foreign trade: the importation of aromatic products. Contributors present the results of the latest researches into the origin and meaning of foreign aromatic products imported in Egypt from the south (Nubia, Punt, Arabia, Horn of Africa) from the beginning of the Dynastic period. The quest for aromata has been of crucial importance in Egypt, since it was closely connected with economic, political, ideological, religious, and mythic spheres. Through archaeological research, epigraphic analysis, and iconographic investigations new evidence is explored supporting the most likely hypothesis about the sources of these raw materials. The study of related documents has revealed possible linguistic links between ancient Egyptian and other ancient African languages, and a strong link between aromata and the divine world through the creation of many Egyptian myths. The references to some specific aromatic products (ti-shepes, snetjer, antyw, hesayt) have been subject to careful lexicographic analysis, with special reference to Old Kingdom occurrences. Iconographic and field investigations documented here seek to better define the Egyptian way of representing the 'foreign' world and the value of its products in the spheres of Egyptian religiosity and rising Pharaonic ideology.
