Von Elephantine bis zu den Küsten des Meeres : Die Kulttopographie Ägyptens nach den Gauprozessionen der Spätzeit und der frühptolemäischen Epoche /
:
Von Elephantine bis zu den Küsten des Meeres' vereint drei Studien zu kulttopographischen Inschriften aus der Spätzeit und dem Beginn der ptolemäischen Epoche. Zahlreiche Quellen waren hier bislang nicht oder nur teilweise publiziert. 0St. Blaschta bearbeitet die kürzlich in Heliopolis/Matariya aufgefundenen Basaltblöcke einer ?Gauprozession? aus der Zeit Nektanebos? I. Die dort eingemeißelten Inschriften scheinen einem Textkorpus entnommen, das seit der Spätzeit bis zum Ende der Ptolemäerzeit an vielen Standorten nachzuweisen ist. Fr. Ghiringhelli untersucht alle Vertreter dieses ?Standardtextes? und zeichnet dessen Entwicklung nach, die anhand einer Synopse nachvollziehbar wird. Spätestens zu Beginn der Ptolemäerzeit wurden Texte verwendet, die sich vom Formular sowie Aussagegehalt stark von den früheren Inschriften unterscheiden. Diese sind erstmals in den Blöcken des Amun-Tempels von Naukratis greifbar, der unter Ptolemaios? I dekoriert wurde. D. von Recklinghausen bietet eine vollständige Textedition und beschäftigt sich u.a. mit Fragen der Texttradierung und der Verwendung von Musterbüchern, da die Texte in Naukratis auch gut zweihundert Jahre später in den Tempeln Oberägyptens zur Dekoration verwendet wurden. Der Band wird durch umfangreiche Indizes erschlossen.

Philo in early Christian literature : a survey /
:
It is a remarkable fact that the writings of Philo, the Jew from Alexandria, were preserved because they were taken up in the Christian tradition. But the story of how this process of reception and appropriation took place has never been systematically research. In this book the author first examines how Philo's works are related to the New Testament and the earliest Chritian writing, and then how they were used by Greek and Latin church fathers up to 400 c.e., with special attention to the contributions of Clement, Origen, Didymus, Eusebius, Gregory of Nyssa, Ambrose, and Augustine. Philo in Early Christian Literature is a valuable guide to the state of scholarly research on a subject that has thus far been investigated in a rather piecemeal fashion.

Brill's Companion to the Legacy of Greek Political Thought /
:
A wealth of political literature has survived from Greek antiquity, from political theory by Plato and Aristotle to the variety of prose and verse texts that more broadly demonstrate political thinking. However, despite the extent of this legacy, it can be surprisingly hard to say how ancient Greek political thought makes its influence felt, or whether this influence has been sustained across the centuries. This volume includes a range of disciplinary responses to issues surrounding the legacy of Greek political thought, exploring the ways in which political thinking has evolved from antiquity to the present day.

The teaching and learning of Arabic in early modern Europe /
:
This volume brings together the leading experts in the history of European Oriental Studies. Their essays present a comprehensive history of the teaching and learning of Arabic in early modern Europe, covering a wide geographical area from southern to northern Europe and discussing the many ways and purposes for which the Arabic language was taught and studied by scholars, theologians, merchants, diplomats and prisoners. The contributions shed light on different methods and contents of language teaching in a variety of academic, scholarly and missionary contexts in the Protestant and the Roman Catholic world. But they also look beyond the institutional history of Arabic studies and consider the importance of alternative ways in which the study of Arabic was persued. Contributors are Asaph Ben Tov, Maurits H. van den Boogert, Sonja Brentjes, Mordechai Feingold, Mercedes García-Arenal, John-Paul A. Ghobrial, Aurélien Girard, Alastair Hamilton, Jan Loop, Nuria Martínez de Castilla Muñoz, Simon Mills, Fernando Rodríguez Mediano, Bernd Roling, Arnoud Vrolijk.

Brill's companion to the reception of Aeschylus /
:
Brill's Companion to the Reception of Aeschylus explores the various ways Aeschylus' tragedies have been discussed, parodied, translated, revisioned, adapted, and integrated into other works over the course of the last 2500 years. Immensely popular while alive, Aeschylus' reception begins in his own lifetime. And, while he has not been the most reproduced of the three Attic tragedians on the stage since then, his receptions have transcended genre and crossed to nearly every continent. While still engaging with Aeschylus' theatrical reception, the volume also explores Aeschylus off the stage--in radio, the classroom, television, political theory, philosophy, science fiction and beyond.

Miguel de Cervantes: Die Exemplarischen Novellen : Beispielhaftigkeit und Satire /
:
In den "Exemplarischen Novellen" von 1613 legt Cervantes eine neuartige Erzählform vor, die sich nicht mehr an Boccaccios zügig auf einen Wendepunkt zustrebenden Novellen, sondern an längeren Erzählungen orientiert, wie sie als eingeschobene Geschichten in den spanischen Hirten- und Schelmenromanen des 16. Jahrhunderts und im "Don Quijote" von 1605 anzutreffen waren. Die inhaltlich anregenden Texte wollen nicht nur unterhalten; Ambivalenzen und Spuren feiner Ironie veranlassen den Leser, das Weltbild des habsburgischen Spaniens kritisch zu hinterfragen. Unterschiede zum konventionellen Denken zeigen sich etwa dort, wo es um die gesellschaftliche Stellung der Frau oder um die im Lande weit verbreitete Korruption geht. Trotz der herrschenden Zensur verbindet Cervantes die neue literarische Form mit Gesellschaftskritik und Satire und begründet so die ethische und ästhetische Beispielhaftigkeit dieser Novellen.

Dialogangebote. Die Anrede des Kaisers jenseits der offiziellen Titulatur /
:
Der Kaiser war der Bevölkerung im Römischen Reich auf vielfältige Weise präsent, durch Statuen auf öffentlichen Plätzen, sein Bildnis auf Münzen oder seinen Namen in Inschriften. Dabei waren seine Untertanen nicht nur Rezipienten kaiserlicher Selbstdarstellung, sondern beteiligten sich auch aktiv an der Ausgestaltung der kaiserlichen Repräsentation mit ihren eigenen Vorstellungen und Erwartungen. Dieses Thema wird in Dialogangebote. Die Anrede des Kaisers jenseits der offiziellen Titulatur erstmals am Beispiel der sog. inoffiziellen Titulaturen auf breiter Quellenbasis untersucht. Dabei werden diese ehrenden Epitheta in ihrer diachronen Entwicklung von Augustus bis Severus Alexander (27 v. Chr. - 235 n. Chr.) und ihren thematischen, medialen, funktionalen und sozialen Kontexten analysiert. Die Untersuchung arbeitet die wichtige Rolle der Untertanen für die Herrscherrepräsentation heraus und bietet neue Einblicke in die Bedeutung dieses Phänomens für die reziproke Kommunikation zwischen Kaiser und Untertanen. The people of the Roman Empire encountered the emperor in many different ways, such as through statues in public places, his portrait on coins or his name in inscriptions. In these encounters, his subjects were not merely recipients of imperial self-expression, but also expressed their own ideas and expectations. Dialogangebote. Die Anrede des Kaisers jenseits der offiziellen Titulatur is the first study of this dynamic to make use of the rich Latin and Greek source material for the so-called unofficial titulature. These honorific epithets are analysed in their diachronic development from Augustus to Severus Alexander (27 BCE - 235 CE) and discussed in their thematic, media, functional and social contexts. The study fleshes out the important role played by the subjects in the representation of rulers and offers new insights into the importance of this phenomenon for the reciprocal communication between emperors and subjects.
