ISBN: 9789004094826 / Angielski / Twarda / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book is a comprehensive study of British travel in the United Provinces during the Stuart Period and largely based on journals and correspondence never before published.
After a discussion of travel journals and correspondence as a literary genre with conventions of its own, the book focuses on the more concrete activities of the tourist: transport, accommodation and sightseeing. A large number of guidebooks provided the necessary information and helped the tourist to write his observations on Holland and the Dutch. Letters by Edward Browne (1644-1708), passages from the journal of...

Early History of the Israelite People: From the Written and Archaeological Sources
ISBN: 9789004094833 / Angielski / Twarda / 482 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Through a review of historical scholarship of the past century, and an analysis of data drawn from archaeological excavations and surveys and from written and historical records from the late second and early first millennium, the author reconstructs the historical basis of Israel's origins within the contexts of geography, anthropology, and sociology.
Thompson argues that none of the traditional models for the origin of biblical Israel in terms of conquest, peaceful settlement, or revolution are viable. The indigenous nature of the Israelite people has roots that lead back to the late...

The Imperial Cult in the Latin West, Volume 2 Studies in the Ruler Cult of the Western Provinces of the Roman Empire - Part 2.2: Part 2.2
ISBN: 9789004094956 / Angielski / Miękka / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Open worship of the Roman Emperor with sacrifice, priests, altar and temple was in theory contrary to official policy in Rome. The cult of the living emperor by less direct means, however, might be achieved in various ways: the offering of cult to his companion genius or the divine numen immanent within him; the elevation of the Imperial house to a level at which it became godlike; the formal placing of the emperor on a par with the gods by making dedications to him ut deo; the conversion of divinities of every kind into Augustan gods that served as the Emperor's helper...

The Spurious Texts of Philo of Alexandria: A Study of Textual Transmission and Corruption with Indexes to the Major Collections of Greek Fragments
ISBN: 9789004095113 / Angielski / Twarda / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The transmission of Philo of Alexandria's works is very complex, and genuine works are preserved in the original Greek, and in ancient Armenian and Latin translations. There are also many excerpts attributed to him in medieval catenae and florilegia, and in quotations in Church writers. The task undertaken here is to discriminate as far as possible between the genuine and the spurious within the textual history of Philo.
An analysis of the sources of the fragments of Philo is followed by a listing of sixty-one texts which are demonstrably spurious, deriving (as is shown here) from various...

Interpretation in Religion
ISBN: 9789004095199 / Angielski / Twarda / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Drawn by invitation from a number of countries, a group of scholars undertakes to explore the means by which the very attempt to grasp religions leads to a repeated process of internal reinterpretation and, often, transformation. Essays on interpretation in religion in general are followed by essays that probe various hermeneutical aspects of ancient Egyptian religion, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The range of these essays is impressive -- from semiosis, problems of translation, and the pragmatic assignment of meaning, to prayer, divine commands, the invisibility ascribed to...

Story-Telling Techniques in the Arabian Nights
ISBN: 9789004095304 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work comprises a literary comparison of surviving alternative versions of selected narrative-cycles from the Nights. Pinault draws on the published Arabic editions -- especially Bulaq, MacNaghten, and the fourteenth-century Galland text recently edited by Mahdi -- as well as unpublished Arabic manuscripts from libraries in France and North Africa. The study demonstrates that significantly different versions have survived of some of the most famous tales from the Nights. Pinault notes how individual manuscript redactors employed -- and sometimes modified -- formulaic phrases...

Democracy and Modernity presents a colloquium of scholars on the present state of democracy in many parts of the globe, in both developed and developing countries. Where does it stand firm, and where is it on shifting ground? What are the conditions necessary for the consolidation of democracy, and what difficulties face those countries where a stable democratic regime is still a hope for the future?

The Figure of Joseph in Post-Biblical Jewish Literature
ISBN: 9789004095564 / Angielski / Twarda / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a comparative study in the hermeneutics of the ancient interpretations of the biblical Joseph story. Assuming that every interpretation results from a creative encounter between the ultimately open text of Scripture and the specific thought world of the interpreter, it examines the particular way in which each exegete construes the biblical outline of Joseph's character. Paying special attention to the literary nature of the sources, the study begins with an analysis of the narrative methods and the hermeneutic potential of the biblical story, and then proceeds to the...

Kings of Disaster: Dualism, Centralism and the Scapegoat King in Southeastern Sudan
ISBN: 9789004095601 / Angielski / Miękka / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study of the rainmakers of the Nilotic Sudan means a breakthrough in anthropological thinking on African political systems. Taking his inspiration from Rene Girard's theory of consensual scapegoating the author shows that the long standing distinction of states and stateless societies as two fundamentally different political types does not hold. Centralized and segmentary systems only differ in the relative emphasis put on the victimary role of the king as compared with that of enemy victims. Kings of Disaster so proposes an uninvolved solution to the vexed problem of regicide....

Christian Arabic Apologetics During the Abbasid Period (750-1258)
ISBN: 9789004095687 / Angielski / Twarda / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the first six-seven centuries of the Islamic era there was a very lively exchange between Christian and Islamic thinking. It was a period when Christian theologians of various denominations had to find ways of expressing their traditional ideas in Arabic. In the process their thinking developed. The papers in this volume represent the wide range of this field, including detailed studies of such key writers as Abū Rā'itah, Yaḥyā b. 'Adī and Theodore Abū Qūrrah, as well as probably the earliest, anonymous, Christian apology in Arabic. The Islamic...

Modern Critical Theory and Classical Literature
ISBN: 9789004095717 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent decades the study of literature in Europe and the Americas has been profoundly influenced by modern critical theory in its various forms, whether Structuralism or Deconstructionism, Hermeneutics, Reader-Response Theory or Rezeptionsasthetik, Semiotics or Narratology, Marxist, feminist, neo-historical, psychoanalytical or other perspectives. Whilst the value and validity of such approaches to literature is still a matter of some dispute, not least among classical scholars, they have had a substantial impact on the study both of classical literatures and of the mentalite...

The Socialist Movement in Turkey 1960-1980
ISBN: 9789004095823 / Angielski / Twarda / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The present study offers a thorough account of the activities of the radical left in Turkey between 1960-1980 and shows how these formed a major contributing factor to the political instability of the country and the military coups that took place in March 1971 and September 1980.
The military coup of May 1960 liberalized political life in Turkey, and a legal leftist movement arose, combining in its ranks social-democratic, trade-unionist and Marxist elements. Many of these were united in the framework of the Turkish Labour Party. The ideological and political struggle within the leftist...

Religion and Time
ISBN: 9789004095830 / Angielski / Twarda / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The essays in this volume, all freshly written for this purpose, focus on the concept of time in the major religious traditions. Two essays prepare the methodological grounds -- by elaborating the phenomenological and existential conceptions of time and their religious significance. The theme of time, so central to the religious point of view, offers a focal point for fruitful interreligious dialogue. The essays also demonstrate that the complexities of the understanding of time in any religious tradition no longer permit the use of familiar but outdated clichis.

Conceptualizing Religion: Immanent Anthropologists, Transcendent Natives, and Unbounded Categories
ISBN: 9789004095854 / Angielski / Twarda / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How might we transform a folk category -- in this case, religion -- into an analytical category suitable for cross-cultural research? In addressing that question, this book critically explores various approaches to the problem of conceptualizing religion for scholarly purposes, particularly with respect to certain disciplinary interests of anthropologists. The author argues that the most plausible analytical strategy can be based on the idea of family resemblances, especially as that idea has been used and developed in contemporary prototype theory. In the solution proposed, religion is...

The Cratylus: Plato's Critique of Naming
ISBN: 9789004095977 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Cratylus has puzzled many readers with its lengthy discussion of the 'true meanings' of more than a hundred Greek names. This book aims to give a coherent interpretation of the whole dialogue, paying particular attention to these etymologies. The book discusses the rival theories of naming offered by Cratylus, Hermogenes, and Socrates, arguing that Socrates presents a prescriptive theory, laying down what names should be, rather than describing what they are. This distinction between prescriptive and descriptive theories is elaborated and used to illuminate the etymologies...

Aristotle's De Animalibus was an important source of zoological knowledge both for the ancient Greeks and for the medieval Arabs and Europeans.

Islamic Medical Ethics in the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9789004096080 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book treats the most prominent issues in medical ethics in the twentieth century, such as abortion, artificial insemination, organ transplantation, euthanasia etc., as discussed by Muslim religious scholars, physicians and jurists. Despite the semi-equal spread of medical knowledge among the peoples of the world and the shared dilemmas brought about by modern medicine, Muslims tend to follow their own medical ethics, which agree ultimately with the basic requirements of Islamic religion and law.
