Islamic reformism and Christianity : a critical reading of the works of Muḥammad Rashīd Riḍā and his associates (1898-1935) /
:
No previous full-scale study has been undertaken so far to study the polemical writings of the Muslim reformist Muḥammad Rashīd Riḍā (1865-1935) and his associates in his well-known journal al-Manār (The Lighthouse). The book focuses on the dynamics of Muslim understanding of Christianity during the late 19th and the early 20th century in the light of al-Manār's sources of knowledge, and its answers to the social, political and theological aspects of missionary movements in the Muslim World of Riḍā's age. The basis of the analysis encompasses the voluminous publications by Riḍā and other Manārists in his journal. Besides, it makes use of newly-discovered materials, including Riḍā's private papers, and some other remaining personal archives of some of his associates.

Christian women in the Greek papyri of Egypt to 400 CE /
:
The documentary papyri are an unparalleled source for the study of women in antiquity. Among them are numbers of female-authored texts which allow women's voices to be heard. In the period to 400 CE twenty-six of these texts provide information on Christian women's religious lives. This book analyses these papyri. They give insight into Christian women's knowledge and use of biblical texts, their practice of prayer, their theological understanding of God, their lives and relationships. This book also examines texts written to Christian women or referring to Christian women among which are a valuable group referring to ascetic women. The perspectives of the papyri nuance what is known about women from other sources.

Passionate Curiosities : tales of collectors and collections from the kelsey museum /
: "Passionate Curiosities explores the collections held in the University of Michigan's Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through the lens of the people whose intellectual interests, financial backing, and social networks brought artifacts to Ann Arbor from the 1880s to the 1990s. Through purchases and expeditions, these individuals shaped the Museum's internationally recognized antiquities from the ancient civilizations of Greece, Rome, North Africa, Egypt, and the Near East, extensive photographic documentation of these regions from the early 1900s, and significant assemblages of early Christian and Islamic visual culture. An intriguing array of personalities--from archaeologists, missionaries, and diplomats to industrialists, bankrollers, and inventors--weave through these pages. They include Ernst Herzfeld, the eminent Orientalist who helped forge antiquities legislation in Iran; Luigi Cesnola, the rapacious harvester of Cypriot sites; Esther Van Deman, the pioneering feminist and scholar of Roman construction techniques; and Samuel Goudsmit, the renowned nuclear physicist and avid Egyptologist. World-famous dealers who established standards in antiquities connoisseurship likewise populate these sagas. Readers will encounter Edgar J. Banks, a swashbuckling purveyor of Mesopotamian antiquities and entrepreneur of biblical documentary films; Maurice Nahman, the 'lion of Cairo'; and the colorful members of the Tano dealer dynasty in Egypt. This copiously illustrated book will interest general readers as well as scholars curious about the holdings of the Kelsey, early collectors and dealers, and the history of museums."--Back cover. : ix, 205 pages : illustrations (some color), maps, portraits ; 26 cm. : Includes bibliographical references and Index. : 9780990662334
The Facsimile Edition of the Nag Hammadi Codices : Codex VIII /
:
Published under the Auspices of the Department of Antiquities of the Arab Republic of Egypt in Conjunction with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. The collection of thirteen codices found in upper Egypt near Nag Hammadi in 1946 is one of the major archaeological discoveries of our time. Apparently the library of a Gnostic community in late antiquity, the codices are a repository of important spiritual materials from throughout the ancient world. Hence a thorough analysis of this new material is indispensable for any proper understanding of the history of religions in this period. The rich documentation which the codices add to early Coptic text material promises to raise to a new precision the historical analysis of that language. This edition presents collotype reproductions in natural size of all folios of the thirteen codices as well as reproductions of the covers and photographs previously taken of fragments that are now lost.

Die regionale Mythologie Ägyptens nach Ausweis der geographischen Prozessionen in den späten Tempeln /
:
Dieses Buch beschließt das auf drei Bände angelegte Projekt zu den geografischen Prozessionen im Soubassement (Sockelbereich) der Tempel der griechisch-römischen Zeit. Hauptgegenstand sind die beiden großen vierteiligen geografischen Prozessionen auf der Außenseite des Naos und im Hof des Horustempels von Edfu. Da die Texte jedoch nicht an allen Stellen perfekt erhalten sind und Parallelen in anderen Tempeln existieren, wurden diese in die Untersuchung miteinbezogen. Die Hauptversionen in Edfu sind fotografisch im beiliegenden Tafelband dokumentiert.0Die Darstellung folgt der Reihenfolge der 22 oberägyptischen und 20 oberägyptischen Gaue (Verwaltungsbezirke) mit ihren jeweils vier Gabenträger, die nacheinander den Gau, den Kanal, das Fruchtland und das Sumpfgebiet repräsentieren. Die Beischriften zu jedem Gabenträger bestehen aus einer Übergabeformel, in der das jeweilige Toponym mit seinen Charakteristika genannt wird, sowie einer Identifikationsformel, bei der sich der Gott des Tempels, in dem sich die entsprechende Prozession befindet (z.B. Horus von Edfu) mit den lokalen Göttern der einzelnen Kultorte identifiziert. In beiden Teilen befindet sich eine Fülle mythologischer Informationen, die hier erstmalig übersetzt und ausführlich kommentiert werden. 0Zusammen mit den in den beiden ersten Bänden der Soubassementstudien analysierten Prozessionen ergeben sich rund 1.000 verschiedene kulttopografische Themenbereiche, von denen eine beträchtliche Anzahl außerhalb dieser Prozessionstexte nicht bekannt ist und in dieser Fülle selbst auf Papyri nicht durchgehend für alle Regionen Ägyptens erhalten ist. Mit dem von Florian Löffler für diesen Band erstellten Gesamtindex kann der 2.000 Seiten umfassende Inhalt der drei Bände nun leichter erschlossen werden.
