The Bounds of Myth : The Logical Path from Action to Knowledge /
:
"This book shed light on the internal shapes of the mythological discourse, showing the way in which myth borders religion, science, literature, theology, i.e., other forms of rationality. The contributing authors of the volume claim that myth is a valid form of thought and that the former evolves within other forms of discourse, even though its composition is independent and even precedes the latter"--

The Vase Bally Captives on a Late Predynastic Decorated Stone Vessel: a Study of the 'Bound Prisoner' and Related Motifs in Early Egypt
:
The Vase Bally, named after its first owner, Swiss businessman Eduard Bally (1847-1926) who acquired it in Luxor in 1904, is one of the most exquisite late Predynastic decorated stone vessels ever discovered in Egypt. First published and discussed by Egyptologist Henri Wild in 1948, the vessel, made of dark-green serpentine and measuring 18.6 cm in height, and its exceptional figural decoration, showing three bound captives in raised relief, deserve a new in-depth study in the light of current research on Predynastic and Early Dynastic art and iconography. This lavishly illustrated book offers a detailed study of this unique object and its decoration, as well as discussions of its possible ritual use, meaning, and sociocultural significance. Moreover, it places its iconography within the early development of the ‘bound prisoner’ and related motifs of interpersonal violence at a time that was crucial for state formation in Egypt. Without doubt, the visual expression of domination and violence against real or potential opponents was a fundamental aspect of the self-image and representation of the ruling elite in those times. Exhaustive catalogues of related objects and representations, including some lesser known or even hitherto unpublished artefacts, as well as famous objects of ‘art’ such as the Narmer Macehead and Palette, are an integral part of the study.
Reconsidering the Bound Captive Statuettes from the Pyramid Complex of Raneferef /
:
Previous scholars have hypothesized that a group of nine wooden statuettes of bound foreign captives from the funerary temple of Raneferef had originally been part of an article of furniture, most likely a royal throne. This article reassesses these arguments. Visual analysis suggests that four different artists, who were working within two distinct groups or “workshops,” carved the statuettes. As a result, it seems most likely that the statuettes were actually part of two different objects. Moreover, comparison with preserved chairs and thrones, as well as ancient images of them, demonstrates that the Raneferef captives do not readily fit this context. Rather, most likely the statuettes had been part of two statue naoi or shrines. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.5913/jarce.54.2018.a012

Arab Traders in Their Own Words : Merchant Letters from the Eastern Mediterranean Around 1800 /
:
Arab Traders in their Own Words explores for the first time the largest unified corpus of merchant correspondence to have survived from the Ottoman period. The writers chosen for this first volume were mostly Christian merchants who traded within a network that connected the Syrian and Egyptian provinces and extended from Damascus in the North to Alexandria in the South with particular centers in Jerusalem and Damietta. They lived through one of the most turbulent intersections of Ottoman and European imperial history, the 1790s and early 1800s, and had to navigate their fortunes through diplomacy, culture, and commerce. Besides an edition of more than 190 letters in colloquial Arabic this volume also offers a profound introductory study.

Neue Perspektiven der Unternehmensgeschichte /
:
Der Band reflektiert systematisch das Verhältnis der Unternehmensgeschichte zu anderen Disziplinen der Geschichtswissenschaft, indem die Beiträge die methodischen wie inhaltlichen Schnittpunkte für zukünftige Forschungen aufzeigen - etwa zwischen Unternehmensgeschichte und Sozialgeschichte, Kulturgeschichte, Geschlechtergeschichte, Umweltgeschichte, Kolonialgeschichte, Wissenschaftsgeschichte oder Rechtsgeschichte. Jedes der instruktiven Kapitel gibt Anregungen dafür, wie die Unternehmensgeschichte in besonderer Weise dazu beitragen kann, wirtschaftliche Themen auch fernab quantitativer Verfahren für Historiker:innen verständlich zu machen und so maßgeblich zur ökonomischen Fundierung der Geschichtswissenschaft beizutragen.
