Julian the Apostate
ISBN: 9780674488823 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This portrayal of one of antiquity's most enigmatic figures offers a vivid and compact assessment of the Apostate's life and reign.

In Bowersock's analysis of Julian's religious revolution, the emperor's ardent espousal of a lost cause is seen to have made...

When Ross Garvey's prized Appaloosa is stolen from his Colorado ranch, he fully intends to hunt down the thieves in their New Mexico hideout and regain his best broodmare. What he doesn't count on is bull-headed, fifteen year old Jaimie Callahan, whose horse was also stolen by the same thieves.

He doesn't believe any of it - until he accidentally passes through a vortex and is transported more than 100 years into the past. Suddenly he's faced with playing the most important role of his life. Only this...

A. D. Momigliano: Studies on Modern Scholarshipvolume 58
ISBN: 9780520085459 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Using pagan prose fiction produced in Greek and Latin during the early Christian era, Bowersock investigates the complex relationship among perceived and presented "historical" and "fictional" truths. Bowersock's superb lecturing style is successfully transferred into writing with force and eloquence, as he weaves accounts from a wide range of sources into his text, illuminating social attitudes of the period and persuasively arguing that fiction of the period was influenced by the emerging Christian Gospel narratives. In the second half of the first century emerges a new kind of fiction...

Empires in Collision in Late Antiquity
ISBN: 9781611683219 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 95 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this book, based on lectures delivered at the Historical Society of Israel, the famed historian G. W.

Martyrdom and Rome
ISBN: 9780521530491 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the historical context of the earliest Christian martyrs, and anchors their grisly and often willful self-sacrifice to the everyday life and outlook of the cities (mostly Greek) of the Roman empire. By exploring the remains of contemporary documents of martyrdoms in the centuries before Constantine, it provides a historical explanation of why martyrdom occurred when and as it did, and thereby tries to expose the fundamental assumptions of a radical new form of religious and political dissidence that has been a powerful influence down to our own times.

The Throne of Adulis: Red Sea Wars on the Eve of Islam
ISBN: 9780199739325 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Just prior to the rise of Islam in the sixth century AD, southern Arabia was embroiled in a violent conflict between Christian Ethiopians and Jewish Arabs. Though little known today, this was an international war that involved both the Byzantine Empire, which had established Christian churches in Ethiopia, and the Sasanian Empire in Persia, which supported the Jews in what became a proxy war against its longtime foe Byzantium. Our knowledge of these events derives largely from an inscribed marble throne at the Ethiopian port of Adulis, meticulously described by a sixth-century Christian...

Bowersock considers these mosaics a critical part of the documentation of the region's ancient culture, as expressive as texts, inscriptions on stone, and architectural remains. In their complex language,... Over the past century, exploration and serendipity have uncovered mosaic after mosaic in the Near East--maps, historical images, mythical figures,... |
