The Buried Foundation of the Gilgamesh Epic: The Akkadian Huwawa Narrative
ISBN: 9789004178489 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Akkadian Gilgamesh Epic, perhaps the most famous of Mesopotamian literature, has been considered the artistry of one author inspired by Sumerian tales. Specialists have assumed that all the earliest evidence (ca. 1800-1700 BCE) reflects this creative unity. Deep contrasts in characterization and narrative logic, however, distinguish the central adventure to defeat the monster Huwawa from what precedes and follows it. The Huwawa narrative stands on its own, so that the epic must have been composed from this prior Akkadian composition. Recognition of the tale embedded in the epic allows...

This volume collects all Willink's published papers, except the two earliest, which are summarized. Three important new articles, on Euripides'...

The Second Sophistic (50 to 250 BCE) was an intellectual movement throughout the ancient Greek and Roman world. Although it can be characterized as a literary and cultural phenomenon of which rhetoric is an essential component, other themes and values such as peideia, mimesis, the glorification of the past, the importance of Athens, and Greek identity pervade the literature and art of this era. From a workshop held at Universite Laval, Perceptions of the Second Sophistic and its Times brings together fourteen essays and a range of perspectives, including...

History of Jamaá Emirate, Circa
ISBN: 9783639212822 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study is an attempt to examine in a wider perspective the history of Jama'a emirate in the period Circa 1800-1903. This was a great task as the area is multi-ethnic and multi-religious in nature. Beside that, the research was conducted in the context of historical geography and the pre-existing socio-political and economic conditions of the area under study. In so doing, attempts were made to focus on political issues that influenced changes in Jama'a emirate in the nineteenth century. Colonial historiography deliberately ignored certain fundamental issues of the pre-colonial period that...

Popular Morality in the Early Roman Empire
ISBN: 9780521128971 / Angielski / Miękka / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Morality is one of the fundamental structures of any society, enabling complex groups to form, negotiate their internal differences and persist through time. In the first book-length study of Roman popular morality, Dr Morgan argues that we can recover much of the moral thinking of people across the Empire. Her study draws on proverbs, fables, exemplary stories and gnomic quotations, to explore how morality worked as a system for Roman society as a whole and in individual lives. She examines the range of ideas and practices and their relative importance, as well as questions of authority and...

Roman Annexation
ISBN: 9783639225440 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The reasons for Roman annexation have too often been explained in simplistic monocausal terms, such as a desire for glory or wealth or as a defensive measure against a warlike neighbour. This book seeks to redress this simplistic perception of causality for Roman annexation and argues that the Romans sought advantage from their military endeavours and possessed a complex understanding of the factors that could contribute to advantage or disadvantage. This work provides a comprehensive methodology, which is based on the modern cost-benefit analysis tool, for the assessment of Roman annexation...

The last decades have seen an increase in the interest in Roman Egypt with new research from different disciplines--Egyptology, Ancient History, Classical Archaeology, Epigraphy,...
