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.

The poetry of Statius /
:
The Roman poet P. Papinius Statius (ca. 45-96) is the author of two epics (the Thebaid and the unfinished Achilleid ) and a large corpus of occasional verse ( Silvae ). This poetry, long seen as derivative or decadent, is increasingly appreciated for the daring and originality of its responses both to the Greek and Latin literary tradition and to the contemporary Roman world. This volume offers the papers delivered at a symposium on Statius (Amsterdam 2005) by leading scholars in the field from Europe and North America. These papers demonstrate the fascination of Statius' poetry on account of the poet's vast knowledge of Greek and Latin tragedy, his rapid narrative, psychological acumen, brilliant eulogies, and pessimistic views on gods and men. The focus of the collection is on literary technique in the Thebaid , on socio-historical aspects of the Silvae , and on the reception of Statius in European literature and scholarship.

When the Goddess was a Woman Mahabharata Ethnographies-- Essays by Alf Hiltebeitel. Volume 2.
:
Explicitly acknowledging its status as a strī-śūdra-veda (a Veda for women and the downtrodden), the Mahābhārata articulates a promise to bring knowledge of right conduct, fundamental ethical, philosophical, and soteriological teachings, and its own grand narrative to all classes of people and all beings. Hiltebeitel shows how the Mahābhārata has more than lived up to this promise at least on the ground in Indian folk traditions. In this three-part volume, he journeys over the overlapping terrains of the south Indian cults of Draupadī (part I) and Kūttāṇṭavar (part II), to explore how the Mahābhārata continues to be such a vital source of meaning, and, in part III, then connects this vital tradition to wider reflections on prehistory, sacrifice, myth, oral epic, and modern theatre. This two volume edition collects nearly three decades of Alf Hiltebeitel's researches into the Indian epic and religious tradition. The two volumes document Hiltebeitel's longstanding fascination with the Sanskrit epics: volume 1 presents a series of appreciative readings of the Mahābhārata (and to a lesser extent, the Rāmāyaṇa), while volume 2 focuses on what Hiltebeitel has called "the underground Mahābhārata," id est, the Mahābhārata as it is still alive in folk and vernacular traditions. Recently re-edited and with a new set of articles completing a trajectory Hiltebeitel established over 30 years ago, this work constitutes a definitive statement from this major scholar. Comprehensive indices, cross-referencing, and an exhaustive bibliography make it an essential reference work. For more information on the first volume please click here .

The Garden of the Mosques : Hafiz Hüseyin al-Ayvansarayî's Guide to the Muslim Monuments of Ottoman Istanbul /
:
This is an annotated translation of what is perhaps the most important Ottoman literary source for the Islamic monuments of the Ottoman capital, Istanbul: Hafız Hüseyin bin Ismail Ayvansarayî's Hadikat al-Cevami (The Garden of Mosques). Long recognized by Turkish scholars as a unique source for the city's architecture and urban form, the text, which was completed in 1195/1780 and revised and enlarged between 1248/1832-33 and 1253/1838 by Ali Sati, contains separate descriptions of each of Istanbul's more than 800 mosques, plus accounts of its medreses, tombs, tekkes and other monuments. The annotations place each of these buildings within the city's urban plan and provide biographical information about the patrons, architects and other personalities mentioned in the text. An introductory essay gives an account of Ayvansarayî's life and works, describes the various manuscript versions of the text and reviews the cartographic resources available for the study of Istanbul's urban form.
