The book is divided into three main sections. An introductory section includes a chronology of Egypt, with all known military actions, and an essay highlighting the problems of the surviving evidence and its interpretation and the major changes in military technology and organization over the period involved. The central section covers a wide range of issues, including pharaohs for whom military activities are documented; foreign rulers and countries against whom the Egyptians fought or who invaded Egypt; weapons and military technology; major archaeological sites; gods and goddesses associated with warfare; arms trade; literature; and social advancement. The third section is a detailed bibliography of the historical phases and archaeological sites, and the broader subject areas covered by the dictionary.

Download or read book Huiti me congr s international d tudes coptes Paris 2004 written by Anne Boud'hors and published by Editions De Boccard. This book was released on 2006 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les congrès internationaux dâe(tm)études coptes, organisés tous les quatre ans sous lâe(tm)égide de lâe(tm)International Association of Coptic Studies, comprennent traditionnellement une série de rapports de synthèse sur les différentes branches de la «coptologie». Ces rapports permettent de mesurer les progrès accomplis depuis le précédent congrès et dâe(tm)indiquer des perspectives, de recommander des lignes de recherche pour les années à venir. Lors du congrès tenu à Paris du 28 juin au 3 juillet 2004, quinze rapports ont ainsi été présentés et sont publiés ici. Câe(tm)est un nombre plus important que dâe(tm)habitude car il inclut, outre les domaines incontournables comme lâe(tm)archéologie - qui comprend aussi les recherches menées en Nubie -, lâe(tm)histoire, lâe(tm)histoire de lâe(tm)art, la littérature - copte et copto-arabe -, la linguistique, la liturgie, quelques champs dâe(tm)étude plus spécifiques qui méritent, au moins à certains intervalles de temps, une synthèse particulière. Ainsi en est-il de la codicologie (au sens large, incluant la paléographie), de lâe(tm)épigraphie, dont les développements récents recommandaient une synthèse présentée indépendamment du rapport de papyrologie; les études gnostiques et manichéennes ont été dissociées; en plus de celui dâe(tm)histoire de lâe(tm)art, un rapport a été réservé à lâe(tm)actualité des musées et expositions, en plein essor depuis plusieurs années. Si les recoupements entre les divers rapports sont inévitables, puisque chaque auteur est différent, les points de vue sur un même objet dâe(tm)étude se complètent sans se répéter. Enfin, les bibliographies détaillées qui accompagnent les synthèses font de ce volume un précieux instrument de travail.

Download or read book JJP Supplement 31 2017 Journal of Juristic Papyrology written by Dorota Dzierzbicka and published by JJP Supplements. This book was released on 2018-06-30 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to investigate the role of local and imported wines on the Egyptian market during the Graeco-Roman period. In order to study the supply of wine and its economic role, two separate topics must be considered: local production, and import of foreign vintages. In this book, the part devoted to Egyptian wine seeks to establish where and how wine was manufactured, what was the social base for this industry and what kinds of wine were locally produced in Egypt, as well as what patterns of distribution wine followed after it left the winery. The aim of the part devoted to import, in turn, is to try to determine which foreign wines reached Egypt during the Graeco-Roman period. This part seeks to trace the supply-and-demand mechanisms and channels of distribution of the country's foreign wine market, and to view Egypt in a wider perspective of Mediterranean trade routes. Why did some wines find their way to Egypt and others did not? Lastly, what changes on the wine market can we trace over time?
