This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on contacts between Anatolian languages within and outside Anatolia. The selected essays, written by members of ongoing research projects on Anatolian languages, present case studies from both the first and second millennia. These include etymological and morphophonological investigations within the framework of Graeco-Anatolian contacts, as well as a critical essay on the possible Anatolian-Etruscan contacts. Alongside strictly linguistic analysis, the essays cover different aspects of cultural contacts (the origin of the word for ‘salt’ in Luwian), toponyms (in Lycia), and religion (the god called King of Kaunos), and are introduced with a detailed overview of the origins of the Anatolian linguistic landscape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4ème de couverture indique "Les actes de ces journées d'étude à Amiens et Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme font suite à deux autres volumes d'actes de colloques (2015 et 2016) sur l'histoire de l'étruscologie au XXe siècle dans le cadre d'un programme promu et financé à partir de 2011 par l'Institut Universitaire de France. L'objectif de ce programme consistait à étudier comment les Étrusques sont devenus un objet d'étude autonome et unitaire au moment de la construction des nations européennes. Ce troisième volume complète le parcours chronologique par l'étude de la période qui suit la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L'équipe de chercheurs, réunie du 14 au 16 septembre 2015, s'est demandée si la chute du fascisme en Italie et du nazisme en Allemagne avait mis fin à la période de crise à laquelle a dû faire face l'étruscologie au moment de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et si elle avait inauguré une nouvelle période pour les études sur les Étrusques. En clair, l'Europe politique a-t-elle donné un élan aux études sur les Étrusques ou les étruscologues ont-ils d'eux-mêmes cherché en Europe un renouveau qu'ils ne trouvaient pas dans leur seul pays ? La question revient à se demander dans quelle mesure les étruscologues ont adhéré à ces valeurs européennes et dans quelle mesure ils s'en ont servi de filtre pour orienter leurs études. On étudie ainsi quel a été le rêve européen des étruscologues d'après-guerre, comment il a influencé la question des origines des Etrusques et comment il a rendu les Etrusques populaires, et çomment il s'est heurté aux réalités d'une Europe divisée."
Download or read book The Liber Linteus written by Fred Woudhuizen and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With this book, dealing with the Zagreb 'Liber Linteus' (formerly known as Agramer Mumienbinde), the longest extant Etruscan text, the author further strengthens his case that Etruscan is basically a colonial dialect influence from Greek, Latin and the other Italic idioms mainly in its vocabulary. The text of the 'Liber Linteus' is shown to be liturgical in character, several of the divinities featuring in it and much of the cult vocabulary being paralleled in the context of the Anatolian Indo-European languages. "Finally, there can be no doubt that Etruscan just like Luwian hieroglyphic, is an Indo-European language of the "entum"--Type" (p.161). The book provides full translation and commentary of the text, in addition grammatical and etymological indexes and a complete word index."

Download or read book The Etruscans Outside Etruria written by Paolo Bernardini and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last millennium B.C., before the coming of the Romans, the Etruscans built a thriving civilization in the western Mediterranean basin, which was rich in natural resources. From the eighth century B.C., Etruria became a destination on the Italian peninsula for refined works by artisans of the Hellenic regions, the Near East, and central Europe, and for masters from these regions, who emigrated and began to work for the local clientele. These artisans would contribute significantly to the development of an art that was recognizably Etruscan. The influence of Etruscan civilization on other cultures has received less attention from archaeologists than has the effect of the Eastern and Greek worlds on Etruscan culture. This lavishly illustrated volume seeks to redress this imbalance by tracing the Etruscans' impact beyond Etruria. It focuses on the panorama of their commerce and the Etruscan ideological and cultural initiatives that radiated from their native territory into other regions. Etruscan civilization spread across a surprisingly vast area, from ancient Italy out into the Mediterranean basin and continental Europe. The book devotes new attention to details that vary from region to region, with a number of chapters devoted to regional specialists. They offer fresh perspectives on the history, art, and political organization of a culture that, in many ways, remains mysterious.
Download or read book Lerna in the Argolid written by John Langdon Caskey and published by ASCSA. This book was released on 1997 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated on the shores of the Argolic Gulf, only a few miles away from the much later prehistoric sites of Mycenae, Tiryns, and Midea, Lerna is one of the key building blocks in our understanding of Greek archaeology. The first evidence from the site is Neolithic, and the latest settlement evidence is Mycenaean. However, the most important material from the site comes from the middle of the 3rd millennium B.C. when a remarkable large, rectangular building known as The House of the Tiles was built. Possibly never finished, with unpainted walls and doors that lead nowhere, the purpose and meaning of this building has provoked vigorous debate. Was it the house of a chief and the precursor of the later Mycenaean palaces? Or was it a communal storage facility, designed to store the elaborately sealed chests and jars found inside? No less mysterious than its use is its destruction: After a violent fire, a huge mound was built on top of the charred foundations, the area avoided by later house builders. This guide is illustrated with many plans and black and white photos.

Download or read book Ethnic Identity in Greek Antiquity written by Jonathan M. Hall and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-06-26 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Jonathan Hall seeks to demonstrate that the ethnic groups of ancient Greece, like many ethnic groups throughout the world today, were not ultimately racial, linguistic, religious or cultural groups, but social groups whose 'origins' in extraneous territories were just as often imagined as they were real. Adopting an explicitly anthropological point of view, he examines the evidence of literature, archaeology and linguistics to elucidate the nature of ethnic identity in ancient Greece. Rather than treating Greek ethnic groups as 'natural' or 'essential' - let alone 'racial' - entities, he emphasises the active, constructive and dynamic role of ethnography, genealogy, material culture and language in shaping ethnic consciousness. An introductory chapter outlines the history of the study of ethnicity in Greek antiquity.

Download or read book African Religions Philosophy written by John S. Mbiti and published by Heinemann. This book was released on 1990 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "African Religions and Philosophy" is a systematic study of the attitudes of mind and belief that have evolved in the many societies of Africa. In this second edition, Dr Mbiti has updated his material to include the involvement of women in religion, and the potential unity to be found in what was once thought to be a mass of quite separate religions. Mbiti adds a new dimension to the understanding of the history, thinking, and life throughout the African continent. Religion is approached from an African point of view but is as accessible to readers who belong to non-African societies as it is to those who have grown up in African nations. Since its first publication, this book has become acknowledged as the standard work in the field of study, and it is essential reading for anyone concerned with African religion, history, philosophy, anthropology or general African studies.
