Nomads of the Mediterranean: Trade and Contact in the Bronze and Iron Ages : Studies in Honor of Michal Artzy /
:
Three millennia of cross-Mediterranean bonds are revealed by the 18 expert summaries in this book-from the dawn of the Bronze Age to the budding of Hellenization. An international team of acclaimed specialists in their fields-archaeologists, historians, geomorphologists, and metallurgists-shed light on a plethora of aspects associated with travelling this age-old sea and its periphery: environmental factors; the formation of harbors; gateways; commodities; the crucial role of metals; cultural impact; and the way to interpret the agents such as Canaanites, "Sea Peoples," Phoenicians, and pirates. The book will engage any student of the Old World in the 3000 years before the Common Era.

Aoypmata : critical essays on the archaeology of the Eastern Mediterranean in honour of E. Susan Sherratt /
:
Over her career Susan Sherratt has questioned our basic assumptions in many areas of the later prehistory of the Mediterranean and Europe, deploying a canny eye for detail, but never losing sight of the big picture. Her collected works include contributions on the relationship between Homeric epic and archaeology; the economy of ceramics, metals and other materials; the status of the `Sea Peoples' and other ethnic terminologies; routes and different forms of interaction; and the history of museums/collecting (especially relating to Sir Arthur Evans). The editors of this volume have brought together a cast of 32 scholars from nine different countries who have contributed these 26 papers to mark Sue's 65th birthday.

Papers from the fifty-third meeting of the Seminar for Arabian Studies : held at the University of Leiden, from Thursday 11th to Saturday 13th July 2019
:
This paper introduces the main results of the excavation at the site of Yughbī during the last season of fieldwork of The Crowded
Desert Project in the north-west of Qatar between March and April 2018. While the area of Yughbī was occupied for a long period
of time, this paper focuses on a small number of stone buildings that dated mainly to the Umayyad period (AD 661–750), but also
with reference to a more extended occupation that may be dated as early as the late Sasanian-Rāshidūn caliphate period (AD
498–661), and perhaps even earlier, to the early ‘Abbāsid period (c. AD 750–900). The Umayyad phase includes stone buildings
that served as a permanent or semi-permanent base for a nomadic group in the process of sedentarization, or recently settled at
the site. The finds of pottery, glass, metals, and other materials indicate that the community living at the site was well integrated
within a wider landscape that included economic interests in the desert and the sea, and even long-distance connections.
Architecture et société au Proche-Orient ancien : les bâtisseurs de mémoire en Mésopotamie (7000-3000 av. J.-C.) /
:
Dans le contexte actuel de destruction et pillage des sites archéologiques du Proche-Orient, il est plus que jamais nécessaire de publier les découvertes qui se sont multipliées en Syrie, en Iran ou en Turquie, pour proposer une nouvelle lecture de la naissance de l'urbanisme et de la civilisation en Mésopotamie. Grand connaisseur des fouilles menées ces dernières décennies au Proche-Orient, Pascal Butterlin centre son propos sur la manière dont les sociétés villageoises du Proche-Orient ancien ont entamé, dés le V millénaire, un processus de transformations socio-économiques qui ont abouti à différentes formes d'étatisation ou pour certaines d'entre elles à des formes variées de tribalité. Ce livre se conçoit comme une micro-écologie de la naissance d'Etats marqués d'abord par leur diversité avant des tentatives politiques éphémères d'unification. Il s'agit donc, dans cet ouvrage novateur ; de dessiner les contours du premier décollage mésopotamien, produit d'interactions culturelles de grande ampleur dès la fin du Ve millénaire.

Chīn-nāma /
:
Born in Macerata, Italy, in 1552, Matteo Ricci was a Catholic priest who was sent to the Jesuit representation to Macau in 1582. His assignment was to travel on to mainland China and seek to establish the first permanent Jesuit mission there. Ricci arrived in China in 1583, never to leave it again. He died there in 1610. Fluent in Chinese, he was very succesful, on good terms with people that mattered, much appreciated as a carthographer and astronomer, and given free access to the Forbidden City, which was quite exceptional. Ricci's account of his mission to China, called De Christiana expeditione apud Sinas , was published posthumously in 1615. The present work is a Persian translation of the book's first fascicle made in India by a Persian convert to Christianity from the seventeenth century. The translation is significant in that it was made at the suggestion of a Jesuit priest, most likely from missionary ambitions.

Kaiphas : der Hohepriester jenes Jahres : Geschichte und Deutung /
:
The high priest Caiaphas is one of the important figures in biblical history who received little attention or sympathy in the judgement of posterity. Since the time of the old church the highest representative of the Jewish society in the time of Jesus was assessed as a wicked enemy of Jesus and the leading apostles in Jerusalem. This image obscures the religious and political efficiency of a man, who worked with great success in his office for a long period of eighteen years. What do we know about the historical Caiaphas? And what is the image of this man in the New Testament and afterwards? The present study tries to answer these questions in view of the history, the exegesis and the reception history. Der Hohepriester Kaiphas gehört zu den bedeutenden Figuren der biblischen Geschichte, denen im Urteil der Nachwelt eine geringe Aufmerksamkeit oder Sympathie entgegengebracht wurde. Seit der alten Kirche wurde der höchste Repräsentant des jüdischen Tempelstaates zur Zeit Jesu als bösartiger Feind Jesu und der führenden Apostel in Jerusalem betrachtet. Dieses Bild verdeckt die religiösen und politischen Leistungen eines Mannes, der achtzehn Jahre lang mit Erfolg amtiert hat. Was wissen wir über den historischen Kaiphas? Und welches Bild hat sich von ihm im Neuen Testament und in der Zeit danach ausgeprägt? Die vorliegende Studie versucht, diese Fragen historisch, exegetisch und wirkungsgeschichtlich zu beantworten.
