Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World of Mr Casaubon takes as its point of departure a fictional character - Mr Casaubon in George Eliot's classic novel, Middlemarch. The author of an unfinished 'Key to All Mythologies', Casaubon has become an icon of obscurantism, irrelevance and futility. Crossing conventional disciplinary boundaries, Colin Kidd excavates Casaubon's hinterland, and illuminates the fierce ideological war which raged over the use of pagan myths to defend Christianity from the existential threat posed by radical Enlightenment criticism. Notwithstanding Eliot's portrayal of Casaubon, Anglican mythographers were far from unworldly, and actively rebutted the radical freethinking associated with the Enlightenment and French Revolution. Orientalism was a major theatre in this ideological conflict, and mythography also played an indirect but influential role in framing the new science of anthropology. The World of Mr Casaubon is rich in interdisciplinary twists and ironies, and paints a vivid picture of the intellectual world of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain.

Book excerpt: Mit der Festschrift zum 65. Geburtstag wird mit Hartmut Kuhne ein Wissenschaftler geehrt, der durch seine langjahrige Lehr- und Ausgrabungstatigkeit zahlreiche Schuler im In- und Ausland hervorgebracht und sich grosse Verdienste um die Archaologie Syriens, aber auch Anatoliens erworben hat.Die von renommierten Archaologen und Philologen verfassten Beitrage zu den "Fundstellen" tragen dieser Lebensleistung Rechnung. Der chronologische Rahmen reicht vom Neolithikum Westsyriens (K. Bartl) und Sudwestanatoliens (E. Abay) bis zur Romanisierung Ostsyriens(A. Oettel) und der spatantiken Besiedlung des Tell Feheriye (N. Ritter). Einen Schwerpunkt bildet die mittel- und neuassyrische bzw. spathethitische Zeit. Dabei werden bau- und kunstgeschichtliche Fragen zur Architektur von Hama (P. Matthiae), Karkamis (M. Pucci), Tall Seh Hamad (A. Kose) und Kar Tukulti-Ninurta (A. Gilibert) ebenso thematisiert wie die Bestattungssitten in Tell Sabi Abyad (P. Akkermans/ E. Smits), Tall Knedig (S. Kulemann-Ossen/L. Martin) und Dur Katlimmu (J. Kreppner). W. Rollig, K. Radner und E. Cancik-Kirschbaum betrachten diesen Zeitraum aus historischem Blickwinkel. R. Bernbeck widmet sich in seinem Beitrag der historisch verzerrten Gestalt der Semiramis. D. Bonatz betrachtet "Bartlosigkeit in Assyrien" aus kulturanthropologischer Sicht. G. Bunnens beschaftigt sich mit der "damnatio memoriae" in den Wandmalereien von Til Barsib. V. Haas wirft am Beispiel des urartaischen Urzana-Siegels Licht auf die Forschungsgeschichte der altorientalischen Glyptik.

Download or read book written by Frederick Hubbard and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-03 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently discovered manuscript of a Grand Tour taken by a young American engineer in the years 1855 - 1857 encompassing Europe, Egypt and the Holy Land. Part II (this book) begins in Egypt where the author travels up and down the Nile, visiting tombs and villages. He continues on the "long desert route" to the Holy Land, retracing the probable route taken during the Exodus. Extensive observations are recorded in the Holy Land with insightful information and Biblical and social commentary. The route terminates in Beyrout, Syria (today Lebanon). The book contains contemporary maps and the author's own weather charts, and is generously annotated and profusely illustrated with original drawings by the author and "grangerized" engravings of the period. A selection of albumin prints (circa 1894) collected by the author's brother are also included. These prints illustrate many of the scenes described in the book.

Book excerpt: "لايارد عالم آثار بريطاني (1894- 1817)، اهتم بآثار العراق عندما كان يعمل في السفارة البريطانية بإسطنبول ولم يكن عمره سنة 1845 يزيد على الثامنة والعشرين، فتعلّم اللغة العربية، وحصل في خريف 1845 على منحة مالية من سفير بريطانيا في إسطنبول لإجراء مسح أثري أوّلي في تلّ النّمرود، وعثر في 28 نوفمبر 1845 في القصر الجنوبي الغربي على ألواح عليها مشاهد معارك، نُحتت في عهد آشور ناصربال الثاني، ونُقلت في وقت لاحق من القصر الشّمالي الغربي ليُعاد استعمالها في قصر جديد شيّده أسرحدون. أجرى لايارد تنقيبات في قلعة آشور بالشّرقاط، وفي تل قويونجوق، وقد أشرف على نقل مكتشفاته، وأبرزها الثيران المجنحة الضخمة، إلى لندن عبر نهر دجلة وفي طوّافات خاصة أعدّت لهذا الغرض، وقوبلت مكتشفاته بإطراء بالغ لدى الآثاريين ومحبّي الحضارات الشرقية في العالم، وخلال هذه الفترة أكمل تأليف كتابه المشهور ""نينوى وآثارها"" الذي أكسبه شهرة كبيرة، اختير عام 1849 ليكون عضواً في لجنة تخطيط الحدود العثمانية الفارسية، وبعد ذلك عاد إلى الموصل ونجح في تحديد مواقع ألواح منحوتة في تلّ قويونجوق، وهو تلّ القصر الرئيسي في نينوى، ومن أبرز ما عثر عليه مكتبة آشور بانيبال، وكان لإكتشاف هذه المكتبة، دورٌ كبير في حلّ رموز الكتابة المسمارية."
