Aspekte des Menschseins im Alten Mesopotamien : eine Studie zu Person und Identitat im 2. und 1. Jt. volume Chr. /
:
Being the first monographic study of this kind in the field of Assyriology, this book comprises an investigation of Ancient Mesopotamian concepts of the human person. Concentrating on Akkadian cuneiform texts from the 2nd and 1st millennium BC, the author examines the characteristics and attributes attached to human beings and the notions of the person as a composite being through a semantic analysis of Akkadian terms for the body, body parts and aspects of the self, which can be termed \'souls\'. Through an examination of a wide range of textual sources and an interdisciplinary approach, this study shows that the Mesopotamian views of personhood share amazing similarities with those of the neighbouring ancient cultures, but often differ from our own. "...in short, as a piece of modern Assyriological scholarship it is very well done and a tribute to its author's capabilities and accomplishments." Benjamin R. Foster, Yale University

Kykeon : studies in honour of H.S. Versnel /
:
A collection of papers with new insights on ancient religion, read at a colloquium in honour of Professor H.S. Versnel (\'Inconsistencies in Greek and Roman Religion\'). The contributions, presented by nine leading scholars in the field, cover many areas of the religious experience of the Greeks and Romans: myth and ritual (W. Burkert), the gods (F. Zeitlin), cult, festivals, sacrifice. Several papers consider methodological problems and the progress of scholarship; they highlight the contribution of H.S. Versnel to the field. The papers are based on a wide range of sources: pagan and Christian, literary and epigraphical and iconographical. The collection will fascinate all scholars interested in ancient religion, whether they study malign magic, the Imperial cult or general theory.

Von Magna Graecia nach Asia Minor : Festschrift für Linda-Marie Günther zum 65. Geburtstag /
:
Von Magna Graecia nach Asia Minor' ? der Titel ist Programm: 23 Beiträge von renommierten Althistorikern und Archäologen spiegeln anlässlich des 65. Geburtstages der Althistorikerin Linda-Marie Günther die vielfältigen Interessen der Jubilarin wider. Mit besonderem Fokus auf der griechischen Geschichte, von der Archaik bis in die Kaiserzeit, greift die Festschrift zentrale Themen von Günthers Forschung und Lehre auf. 0Aspekte der Ikonographie antiker Münzen, die Günther besonders am Herzen liegt, werden ebenso bearbeitet wie epigraphische Quellen und Probleme. Die antike Historiographie, auch dies ein Steckenpferd der Jubilarin, ist Gegenstand mehrerer Beiträge. Untersuchungen zu genuin archäologischen Fragen und zur antiken Lebenswelt reflektieren ihre fächerübergreifenden Interessen.
