Shifting social imaginaries in the Hellenistic period : narrations, practices, and images /
:
There is a long tradition in classical scholarship of reducing the Hellenistic period to the spreading of Greek language and culture far beyond the borders of the Mediterranean. More than anything else this perception has hindered an appreciation of the manifold consequences triggered by the creation of new spaces of connectivity linking different cultures and societies in parts of Europe, Asia and Africa. In adopting a new approach this volume explores the effects of the continuous adaptations of ideas and practices to new contexts of meaning on the social imaginaries of the parties participating in these intercultural encounters. The essays show that the seemingly static end-products of the interaction between Greek and non-Greek groups, such as texts, images, and objects, were embedded in long-term discourses, and thus subject to continuously shifting processes.

After one hundred years : the 1910 exhibition "Meisterwerke muhammedanischer Kunst" reconsidered /
:
The exhibition \'Meisterwerke muhammedanischer Kunst\' that took place in Munich in 1910 marked a turning point in the approach to Islamic Art. The show attempted to break free of Orientalism and exotic fantasies and, in doing so, set a new standard for the reception of Islamic art in Europe. Moreover, naming the Islamic artefacts masterpieces, it layed claim to bestow upon Islamic art "a place equal to that of other cultural periods". This book is the first comprehensive study on this path-breaking exhibition. It includes a wealth of unpublished material and numerous novel ideas on the subject and addresses the exhibition's historical context, organization, realization and display as well as its reception in the West and its later influence on the study of Islamic art.

The alphabet of nature /
:
F. M van Helmont's Alphabet of Nature was one of many books published about language in the early modern period. The "language debate," as it has come to be called, was a topic of compelling interest to major figures such as Reuchlin, Rabelais, Paracelsus, Agrippa, Postel, Boehme, Kircher, Hobbes, Descartes, Comenius, Spinoza, Locke, Boyle, Newton, and Leibniz. At issue were profound questions about whether language is natural or artificial, ordained by God or created by man. The answers given entailed a web of consequences that could lead to arrest, imprisonment, even execution. It is therefore not surprising that van Helmont wrote his book while imprisoned in the dungeons of the Roman Inquisition.

Paul's world /
:
This volume is concerned with Paul's world. The major question to ask is-what is that world of Paul? In determinable ways, Paul's world is everything in the world in which Paul lived and acted, and hence virtually everything that Paul did. In other words, Paul's world can be defined macrocosmically and microcosmically. As the term is defined in the various essays in this volume, Paul's world includes the surrounding environment in which Paul functioned, including its various religious, social, cultural, literary, rhetorical, linguistic and related phenomena. This volume treats some of the most important and germane factors that went into making up the world in which Paul lived, and that consequently defined who he was and became.

:
"This work is based upon and retrieved from the 'Geographic Information System' (GIS) and the database that were created through the Egyptian Antiquities Information System (EAIS) project in the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA). The objective of this project is to gradually develop a comprehensive official documentation of historical sites in all the governorates of Egypt, and consequently to provide realistic and coherent site information, not only to researchers, but primarily to governmental agencies, which would use this information in protecting and managing the sites. The Cahiers consists of two parts: The first part, in paper format, contains introductory manuals, attribute tables of all sites, satellite images, topographical maps and keys of cadastral maps covering the whole governorate. The second part, in digital format (CD), contains an individual descriptive Cahiers for each site, sorted by markaz, and including detailed maps and information about the history, archaeological contents, legal status, state of preservation, and bibliography of each site"--Book jacket. :

Voyage en Haute-Egypte : prêtres, coptes et catholiques /
:
"C'est en Haute-Égypte, la région la plus pauvre du pays, que nous emmène cet ouvrage, à la rencontre des coptes-catholiques, minorité de la minorité, au milieu d'une mer copte-orthodoxe et d'un océan musulman. C'est en suivant des prêtres égyptiens, de leur formation au séminaire, puis à Rome, jusqu'au retour dans leurs paroisses rurales, avant et après la révolution de 2011, que le lecteur découvre l'histoire de cette petite Église. Le livre retrace aussi l'histoire des contacts séculaires des coptes-catholiques avec des franciscains italiens et jésuites français. Le lecteur découvre enfin les communautés villageoises de cette région, pauvres et actives. Curés de campagne, les prêtres coptes-catholiques arbitrent les conflits, arrangent les mariages et luttent contre le sous-développement chronique de la Haute-Égypte délaissée par un État à la fois omniprésent et déficient. Ils défendent la cause des femmes dans une société patriarcale, représentent leurs paroissiens au milieu de tensions confessionnelles croissantes et face aux autorités administratives et politiques. Ce livre, comme le souligne Robert Solé dans sa préface, réussit à nous faire partager, de manière saisissante, la vie quotidienne des habitants de la vallée du Nil."--Page 4 of cover.
