    Abstract: Dans les sociétés anciennes, depuis le IIIe millénaire avant notre ère jusqu'au VIIe siècle de notre ère, de l'Inde au monde celte, de la Mésopotamie à la Grèce et à l'Egypte, les différents systèmes religieux, polythéistes ou monothéistes, ont fonctionné grâce à des clergés préposés à la gestion du sacré et dont les membres se distinguaient plus ou moins fortement du peuple des laïcs. Les contributions de quinze spécialistes réunies ici présentent à un large public l'état des connaissances sur des questions institutionnelles souvent négligées : qui devient prêtre ou prêtresse ? comment ? et pour quelle place dans la société ? En interrogeant des religions disparues et d'autres qui sont présentes dans notre monde contemporain, hindouisme, mazdéisme, judaïsme, christianisme et islam, cet ouvrage montre l'actualité d'une réflexion sur les différentes formes anciennes de la fonction sacerdotale.

    Keywords: Herod Antipas, ; Coins, Roman ; Jewish coins
    Abstract: "The Coinage of Herod Antipas provides a comprehensive, multifaceted and up-to-date re-examination of the coins of Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee and Peraea between 4/3 BCE and 39/40 CE. Kogon and Fontanille classify about 800 coins by obverse and reverse dies. From this die classification they generate, for the first time ever for this tetrarch, about 300 composite die images. In addition, the authors examine both technical aspects of the coins (e.g. metrology, mint output) and non-technical aspects (e.g. inscriptions, iconography). They also review the geographic distribution of provenanced coins. Through this analysis of the coins of Herod Antipas, Kogon and Fontanille provide a greater understanding of the Sitz im Leben of first century Galilee."--Provided by publisher.

    Abstract: Anyone involved in the study of ancient Iudaea/Palaestina and its vicinity has felt the need for a comprehensive work containing all the inscriptions in various languages found in the region. The lack of such a work was all the more regrettable, as the material concerns not only those interested in the region, but also students of a great variety of related subjects, such as the history of the ancient Near East, ancient Jewish history and early Christianity, and, of course, historians of the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods. The inscriptions are presented within their specific context, and complemented by a translation and commentary; where available, the texts are accompanied by a reproduction.

    Abstract: "Life and Death in Asia Minor combines contributions in both archaeology and bioarchaeology in Asia Minor in the period ca. 200 BC-AD 1300 for the first time. The archaeology topics are wide-ranging including death and territory, death and landscape perception, death and urban transformations from pagan to Christian topography, changing tomb typologies, funerary costs, family organization, funerary rights, rituals and practices among pagans, Jews, and Christians, inhumation and Early Byzantine cremations and use and reuse of tombs. The bioarchaeology chapters use DNA, isotope and osteological analyses to discuss, both among children and adults, questions such as demography and death rates, pathology and nutrition, body actions, genetics, osteobiography, and mobility patterns and diet. The areas covered in Asia Minor include the sites of Hierapolis, Laodikeia, Aphrodisias, Tlos, Ephesos, Priene, Kyme, Pergamon, Amorion, Gordion, Bogazkale, and Arslantepe. The theoretical and methodological approaches used make it highly relevant for people working in other geographical areas and time periods. Many of the articles could be used as case studies in teaching at schools and universities. An important objective of the publication has been to see how the different types of results emerging from archaeological and natural science studies respectively could be integrated with each other and pose new questions on ancient societies, which were far more complex than historical and social studies of the past often manage to transmit"--Publisher description.
    Note: "The present publication is the result of an international conference held in Oslo and Fredrikstad, in Norway, Oct. 7-10, 2013, a conference which tried to sum up the results of three preceding annual workshops on Anatolian funerary archaeology in historical times, held in respectively Rome, Istanbul, and Lecce...."--Acknowledgements, page vii.

    Keywords: Wilshere, Charles, Archaeological collections. ; Ashmolean Museum. ; Gold glass Private collections ; Sarcophagi, Early Christian Private collections ; Art, Early Christian Private collections ; Christian art and symbolism Private collections
    Abstract: Dr Susan Walker tells the story of Charles Wilshere's passionate interest in early Christian and Jewish archaeology. His collection was formed in Italy from 1860-1880 and has mostly been on public display ever since, in London and Oxford, where it is now shown in the Ashmolean Museum. The collection includes gold-glass and gravestones from two interesting collections of the southern Italian enlightenment, and Jewish tombstones from the Vigna Randanini. Recent examination of the gold-glass has revealed interesting new information about how the glass was made in fourth-century Rome. The collection also offers a glimpse of the religious and social history of fourth-century Rome: Christians were discouraged from honouring their dead in pagan style with exuberant funerary feasts, and instead were encouraged to honour the memory of Christian martyrs. The Jewish community shared the traditional enthusiasm for feasting at the grave, and bought their gold-glass from the same workshops.

    Series Statement: Orientalia Lovaniensia analecta ;
    Abstract: Scribal practices across disciplines are often explored through divisions between words, stiches and verses, sections, scribal hands and marks, correction and copying procedures. This volume offers a different perspective: writing as shown here is, at its heart, a deeply social practice connecting narrative to the different categories of knowledge (linguistic, political, administrative, legal, historical and geographic) and literacy. The twelve essays investigate how scribal practices are related to the construction of knowledge and challenge the conventional boundaries. They address various types of knowledge whose potential is triggered by certain needs and values in the context of Antiquity, Late Antiquity and Medieval Islam from al-Andalus through Egypt, Syria to Iraq, Anatolia and Bactria as far afield as Ethiopia. The vast majority of the papers are related thematically and the overall connection between the articles is the salient feature of this volume. The papers also demonstrate how the local context has shaped scribal practices allowing for cross-cultural comparison.

    Abstract: „Zur Kur an den Nil“ ist die kommentierte Edition eines Reisetagebuchs vom Winter 1900/01, das von dem deutsch-jüdischen Augenarzt und Orientalisten Max Meyerhof (1874-1945) stammt. Aus gesundheitlichen Gründen reiste er mit seinem jüngeren Verwandten Otto Meyerhof (1884-1951), dem späteren Nobelpreisträger für Medizin, fünf Monate durch Ägypten und hielt seine vielfältigen Eindrücke äußerst lebendig und unterhaltsam fest. Textliche wie bildliche Ergänzungen aus zeitgenössischer Reiseliteratur erweitern den Blick und runden den reich illustrierten Band ab. Eingeschobene Kapitel stellen die jeweiligen Reisestationen vor, erläutern Erlebnisse der beiden Protagonisten und beleuchten Begegnungen mit bekannten oder unbekannten Persönlichkeiten. Bewusst populär-wissenschaftlich geschrieben will der Band altes Material aus vergangener Zeit mit „Infotainment“ zu neuem Leben zu erwecken und dabei zeigen, wie Ereignisse und Menschen – heute wie damals – miteinander verwoben sind.

    Abstract: The arrival of Alexander the Great in the southern Levant ushered in many changes, and the subsequent period saw many more upheavals, including the Roman conquest, the Jewish revolts, and the gradual Christianization of the Holy Land. Throughout this period, many local 'pagan,' Jewish, and Christian cults and cultic places dotted the local landscape of the southern Levant, which today covers the area of Israel, Jordan, and parts of Lebanon and southern Syria. These cults underwent processes of profound change, but also preserved much of their older identities while still interacting with each other. This volume seeks to present these processes both synchronically and diachronically, along three different axes - cultic places, personnel, and objects. The common denominator shared by these three axes is the people whose beliefs and practices shaped religious behaviour in the Greco-Roman southern Levant. The 18 articles in this volume investigate whether cultic practices formed a coherent cultural system. They consider the co-existence and competition of the different religious systems, analyzing them in terms of continuity, discontinuity, and change over an extended period of time, roughly from the arrival of Alexander the Great to the Imperial integration of Christianity (ca. late fourth century BCE - early fifth century CE). The approaches presented in the volume are varied and interdisciplinary, combining archaeological, philological, historical, and art-historical analyses of multiple bodies of evidence.

    Abstract: Time has always held a fascination for human beings, who have attempted to relate to it and to make sense of it, constructing and deconstructing it through its various prisms, since time cannot be experienced in an unmediated way. This book answers the needs of a growing community of scholars and readers who are interested in this interaction. It offers a series of innovative studies by both senior and younger experts on various aspects of the construction of time in antiquity. Some articles in this book contain visual material published for the first time, while other studies update the field with new theories or apply new approaches to relevant sources. Within the study of antiquity, the book covers the disciplines of Classics and Ancient History, Assyriology, Egyptology, Ancient Judaism, and Early Christianity, with thematic contributions on rituals, festivals, astronomy, calendars, medicine, art, and narrative.

    Abstract: The study of belief, faith and religious practices can provide a deep insight into historical societies, whether Christian, Muslim, Jewish or pagan. They form a constant of human behaviour. Through religion, cult and rituals, multi-layered and complex cultural norms are expressed, demonstrating group affiliation. However, popular devotion and belief in a rural environment can include practices that are out with those of the official religion.0Some of these practices discussed in this book can be investigated through archaeology. Important religious sites like churches, monasteries, mosques and synagogues as well as caves, holy wells and hermitages are discussed. Furthermore burials of children, revenants and the condemned are analysed, as they often deviate from normal practice and shed light on particular communities and their beliefs. Rituals concerning the protection of buildings and persons which focus on objects attributed with religious qualities are another area explored. Through archaeological research it is possible to gain an understanding of popular religion of medieval and early modern times and also to draw conclusions about religious ideas that are not written in documents. By bringing together these topics this book is of particular interest to scholars working in the field of archaeology, history and cultural anthropology.0The addressed subjects were the theme of an international conference of the RURALIA association held in Clervaux, Luxemburg, in September 2015

    Series Statement: Contributions to biblical exegesis and theology ;
    Abstract: Documented evidence has shown that the Hebrew Bible was edited by successive scribes for centuries, and the impact of editing on the resulting text has proven to be crucial. A better understanding of any issue in the Hebrew Bible and ancient Israel requires a deep understanding of the editorial processes. As a consequence, the editorial processes of the Hebrew Bible have come to the fore in the most recent scholarly debates. Nevertheless, editorial processes in the Hebrew Bible are still poorly understood and a methodological overview is lacking. It is apparent that collaboration between scholars of different fields is needed, and a methodological discussion that takes into account all the editorial techniques witnessed by documented evidence in the Hebrew scriptures and the rest of the ancient Near East is required. This book is a step in this direction. Contributions in this volume by leading scholars approach the issue from various perspectives, including methodology, textual criticism, redaction criticism, Dead Sea Scrolls, Assyriology, and Egyptology.
    Description / Table of Contents: Insights into editing in the Hebrew Bible and the ancient Near East -- What is editing? What is an edition? Towards a taxonomy for Late Second Temple Jewish literature -- Empirical evidence for scribal and editorial transmission of Second Temple religious literature -- Interpreting the Pentateuch through scribal processes: the evidence from the Qumran manuscripts -- Insights into editing from Mesopotamian literature: mirror or mirage? -- The phenomenon of "textual coherence" in Egyptian and Israelite Wisdom Literature -- The Flood from ancient Mesopotamia to Qumran: transformations in a literary chain of tradition -- The burden of proof: the challenges in explaining the redactional evidence of the Treatise on the two spirits -- Nahash, King of the Ammonites, in the Deuteronomistic history -- 2 Sam 21-24: haphazard miscellany or deliberate revision? -- The history of the biblical text: the case of the Book of Joshua -- Empirical evidence and its limits: the use of the Septuagint in retracing the redaction history of the Hebrew Bible -- From the Greek recensions to the Hebrew editions: a sample from 1 Kgs 2:1-10 -- A semi-empirical example for the final touches to a biblical book: the Masoretic Sondergut of the Book of Jeremiah.

    Abstract: This year, 2017, marks 70 years since the discovery of the famous Dead Sea Scrolls at Khirbet Qumran by the Dead Sea in 1947. The Dead Sea Scrolls are one of the most well-known archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. This book addresses the proto-history and the roots of the Qumran community and of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the light of contemporary scholarship in Alexandria, Egypt. Alexandria, as the centre for Hellenistic Jews and the location of the Library of Alexandria, forms a key to understanding the theme of the book. The relationship of this context to the thoughts of the Essenes, the Jewish philosopher Philo of Alexandria, the Jewish Therapeutae of Egypt living in the neighbourhood of Alexandria and the Pythagoreans are especially studied in this work. Historical sources (both Jewish and Classical authors) and archaeological evidence are taken into account in the wider Graeco-Roman context. The connection between the Jewish Therapeutae in the Lake Mareotis region and the Palestinian Essenes is explained by the `Jewish Pythagoras' based on the idea that the movements share the same philosophical tradition based on Judaism and Pythagoreanism. The prototypes of the Dead Sea Scrolls are explained in their Egyptian context, in association with the Library of Alexandria, the Egyptian temple manuals, and the formation of libraries in the Hellenistic period including that of Qumran.

    Abstract: This volume is offered as a tribute to George Brooke to mark his sixty-fifth birthday. It has been conceived as a coherent contribution to the question of textuality in the Dead Sea Scrolls explored from a wide range of perspectives. These include material aspects of the texts, performance, reception, classification, scribal culture, composition, reworking, form and genre, and the issue of the extent to which any of the texts relate (to) social realities in the Second Temple period. Almost every contribution engages with Brooke's own remarkably wide-ranging, incisive, and innovative research on the Scrolls. The twenty-eight contributors are colleagues and students of the honouree and include leading scholars alongside promising new voices from across the field.

    Abstract: "Mit der vorliegenden Studie wird erstmals der Gesamtbestand der figürlichen Terrakotten aus zwei römerzeitlichen Zisternen in Beit Nattif in Judäa vorgelegt. Mehr als 400 Terrakotten – überwiegend weibliche Figuren, Reiter und Tiere – aus Beit Nattif und von anderen Fundplätzen in der Region werden beschrieben, klassifiziert und umfassend interpretiert. Die Terrakotten haben einen charakteristischen Stil und sind nur schwach von griechisch-römischer Ikonographie beeinflusst. Das Repertoire und die Ikonographie verweisen aber auf Vorläufer in der Eisenzeit. Die Terrakotten aus Beit Nattif sind ein wichtiger Befund für religiöse Praktiken im römisch-spätantiken Judäa und bieten die Möglichkeit, religiöse Identitäten sowie religiöse und magische Praktiken ihrer Besitzer zu untersuchen. Es zeigt sich, dass die Terrakotten mit einer Lokalbevölkerung zu verbinden sind, die stark in vorderorientalischen semitischen Traditionen verwurzelt war. Diese Bevölkerung orientierte sich an Modellen und Konzepten, die anschlussfähig sowohl an jüdische als auch an pagane Traditionen waren. Die Monographie ist damit ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Diskussion um materielle Kultur und religiöse Identitäten in Judäa in der Zeit nach dem Bar-Kochba-Krieg (132-135 n. Chr.)."-- |c Back cover.

    Abstract: "This festschrift honors UCLA professor emerita Susan Downey and her meticulous scholarship on religious architecture and imagery in the Roman/Hellenistic world. The iconography of gods and goddesses, the analysis of sacred imagery in the context of ancient cult practices, and the design and decoration of sacred spaces are the main themes of the book. Authors examine such subjects as painting from Dura-Europos, Hellenistic sculpture at Saqqara in Egypt, Roman cameo glass, Pompeian fresco, and aspects of Venus in portrait sculpture. The essays on Dura-Europos are especially valuable in light of the present turmoil in the region.Professor Downey's influence shines through in these discussions, which echo her mentorship of several generations of art history and archaeology students and recognize her scholarly achievements. The broad temporal and geographic parameters of the volume are expansive, and the juxtaposition of images and analyses leads to surprising new conclusions" -- Provided by publisher

    Abstract: "A detailed account on the Bar Kokhba Revolt in an attempt to understand the second revolt against the Romans. Since the Bar Kokhba Revolt did not have a historian who devoted a comprehensive book to the event, Mor used a variety of historical materials including literary sources (Jewish, Christian, Greek and Latin) and archaeological sources (inscriptions, coins, military diplomas, hideouts, and refuge complexes). The book reviews the causes for the outbreak while explaining the complexity of the territorial expansion of the Revolt. Mor portrays the participants and opponents as well as the attitudes of the non-Jewish population in Palestine. He exposes the Roman Army's part in Judaea, the Jewish leadership and the implications of the Revolt"--

    Abstract: This volume presents case studies of the phenomena that contributed to group identity in Late Antique Syria-Mesopotamia, in particular traditions reflecting interactions between Judaism and Christianity, among various Christian groups, and among other religious traditions of late antiquity (such as Zoroastrianism or 'paganism'). By studying Christian, Jewish and other sources that deal with the establishment, modification and deletion of boundaries, the authors seek to create a frame of reference that will in turn explain and contextualise the existing evidence concerning communication and interaction between highly diverse groups in Late Antiquity

    Series Statement: Culture and history of the ancient near East;
    Abstract: This collection of essays contains a state of the field discussion about the nature of revolt and resistance in the ancient world. While it does not cover the entire ancient world, it does focus in on the key revolts of the pre-Roman imperial world. Regardless of the exact sequence, it was an undeniable fact that the area we now call the Middle East witnessed a sequence of extensive empires in the second half of the last millennium BCE. At first, these spread from East to West (Assyria, Babylon, Persia). Then after the campaigns of Alexander, the direction of conquest was reversed. Despite the sense of inevitability, or of divinely ordained destiny, that one might get from the passages that speak of a sequence of world-empires, imperial rule was always contested. The essays in this volume consider some of the ways in which imperial rule was resisted and challenged, in the Assyrian, Persian, and Hellenistic (Seleucid and Ptolemaic) empires. Not every uprising considered in this volume would qualify as a revolution by this definition. Revolution indeed was on the far end of a spectrum of social responses to empire building, from resistance to unrest, to grain riots and peasant rebellions. The editors offer the volume as a means of furthering discussions on the nature and the drivers of resistance and revolution, the motivations for them as well as a summary of the events that have left their mark on our historical sources long after the dust had settled

    Abstract: "This volume advances our understanding of the religion, society and culture of Dura-Europos, the small town on the Euphrates known since the 1930s as the 'Pompeii of the Syrian desert.' Several features make the site potentially our best source for day-to-day life in a small town situated on the periphery of the Roman world: inscriptions and graffiti in ten ancient languages; sculptures and frescoes combining elements of Classical and Oriental art; the most important papyrological dossier of any military unit in the Roman world; documents relating to the local economy; over a dozen pagan sanctuaries; plus a famously painted synagogue and the earliest Christian house church, all set in a gridiron city plan and surrounded by well-preserved fortifications. Dura's unique findings facilitate the study of life in a provincial small town to a degree that archaeology and history do not usually allow"--

In this biography and summary of his work, Stephen Leach outlines Klejn's wide-ranging theoretical contributions on the place and nature of archaeology. The book details: Klejn's diverse work on ethnogenesis, migration, Homeric studies, pagan Slavic religion, homosexuality, and the history of archaeology; his life challenges as a Russian Jewish scholar, jailed for homosexuality by the KGB and for his challenges to Marxist dogma; his key contributions to theoretical archaeology; and, in particular, Klejn's comparisons between archaeologists and forensic scientists"--

    Abstract: The role and historicity of Moses in the Bible have been the subject of much study and speculation. This book focuses not only on the construction of this biblical figure, but also on its evolution through the ancient and medieval Middle East. From the Jewish world to Islam by way of Christianity and the philosophical and Gnostic movements of Late Antiquity, from the first centuries of the Christian era to the late Middle Ages, and from the Mediterranean to Iran and Ethiopia, the authors have appropriated the fi gure of Moses whose polysemy allowed for multiple readings in various and diverse historical and cultural contexts. The studies assembled here attest to the richness of this veritable "mosaic".

    Abstract: "The Bible's grand narrative about Israel's Exodus from Egypt is central to Biblical religion, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim identity, and the formation of the academic disciplines studying the ancient Near East. It has also been a pervasive theme in artistic and popular imagination. Israel's Exodus in Transdisciplinary Perspective is a pioneering work surveying this tradition in unprecedented breadth, combining archaeological discovery, quantitative methodology, and close literary reading. Archaeologists, Egyptologists, Biblical Scholars, Computer Scientists, Geoscientists and other experts contribute their diverse approaches in a novel, transdisciplinary consideration of ancient topography, Egyptian and Near Eastern parallels to the Exodus story, the historicity of the Exodus, the interface of the Exodus question with archaeological fieldwork on emergent Israel, the formation of biblical literature, and the cultural memory of the Exodus in ancient Israel and beyond. This edited volume contains research presented at the groundbreaking symposium "Out of Egypt: Israel?s Exodus Between Text and Memory, History and Imagination" held in 2013 at the Qualcomm Institute of the University of California, San Diego. The combination of 44 contributions by an international group of scholars from diverse disciplines makes this the first such transdisciplinary study of ancient text and history. In the original conference and with this new volume, revolutionary media, such as a 3D immersive virtual reality environment, impart innovative, Exodus-based research to a wider audience. Out of archaeology, ancient texts, science, and technology emerge an up-to-date picture of the Exodus for the 21st Century, and a new standard for collaborative research"-OCLC
