Journalist Jay Walljasper visits and interviews...

The Nile Mosaic of Palestrina: Early Evidence of Egyptian Religion in Italy
ISBN: 9789004101371 / Angielski / Twarda / 502 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The famous Nile Mosaic of Palestrina, ancient Praeneste in central Italy, dating to c. 100 B.C., is one of the earliest large mosaics which have been preserved from the classical world. It presents a unique, comprehensive picture of Egypt and Nubia. The interpretation of the mosaic is disputed, suggestions ranging from an exotic decoration to a topographical picture or a religious allegory.
The present study demonstrates that the mosaic depicts rituals connected with Isis and Osiris and the yearly Nile flood. The presence of these Egyptian religious scenes at Praeneste can be explained by...

The Javanese Candi: Function and Meaning
ISBN: 9789004102156 / Angielski / Twarda / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Javanese Candi is the outcome of a thorough study during many years on the function and the meaning of the monuments of ancient Indonesia, commonly called candi. A re-examination of the archaeological evidence, while scrutinizing textual data from inscriptions and literary works, systematically rejects the current opinion as if the candi was a royal tomb to enshrine the ashes of the cremated body of the dead king. Instead, the candi was meant as a temple building where people could pay homage to the king and invoke the blessings of the forefather.

This book is about epithets on Egyptian monumental inscriptions, and about the conclusions one may draw from them.

In the case of this volume, the author analyses the epithets of non-royal officials from the Middle Kingdom (c. 2040-1640 BCE). Drawing on evidence from several hundred...

This anthology provides the first investigation of the delineation of otherness across a broad spectrum of the imagery of Greek art. An international cast of authors, with methodologies ranging from traditional to avant-garde, examines manifestations of the Other in Late...
