Hebrew Bible/Old Testament And Scribal Scholarship In Antiquity - Studies In Honor Of Arie Van Der Kooij On The Occasion Of His Eightieth Birthday

~~136,48€~~ 122,83€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Scholars studying the transmission, translation, interpretation and reworking of ancient Israelite and early Jewish religious literature often get the impression that the manuscripts they study are hampered by a whole range of unconscious or deliberate scribal mistakes and misrepresentations. One scholar who has followed a different path throughout his long academic career in the field of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, Septuagint and Peshitta studies is Arie van der Kooij. In his view, the vast corpus of early Jewish and early Christian literature is better understood as the product of scribal scholarship, instigated and authorized by leading circles within different Jewish and related communities in Antiquity. In the present volume, former students, friends and colleagues, inspired by Arie van der Kooij''s research offer tribute to the octogenarian in the form of studies devoted to examples of scribal scholarship found in the Hebrew Bible, its ancient versions and early Christian reinterpretations. The fifteen contributions all represent original work and add to the study of scribal scholarship in Antiquity and the impact of the work of Arie van der Kooij in this area in particular. They focus on the production and transmission of the Hebrew Bible, the interaction between the Hellenistic world and the Septuagint, or the inner logic behind the Greek and Hebrew versions of Genesis, Kings, Psalms and Isaiah. The impact of ancient scribal scholarship on New Testament writings is examined in Hebrews and 1 Corinthians, as is the impact on Early Christian translations of the Bible in Syriac and Latin.

Images In Transition - The Southern Levant And Its Imagery Between Near Eastern And Greek Traditions

~~156,35€~~ 140,72€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The material culture of the Southern Levant from the late 5th century to the early 3rd century BCE is marked by evolving local and regional traditions enriched by the adoption and adaptation of features reflecting Persian and Greek culture. Processes of influence and interaction - often referred to as Persianization and Hellenization - alongside expressions of persisting local and regional cultural identities, were central themes of the conference titled "Images in Transition: The Southern Levant and its Imagery between Near Eastern and Greek Pictorial Traditions." This volume compiles a selection of presentations from the conference, highlighting the diversity of topics discussed. Addressing selected motives and object genres or focusing on specific sites and practices from various perspectives, case studies examine cultural processes that occurred in the Southern Levant during the Persian and early Hellenistic period. Their synthesis provides a better understanding of significant cultural change and persistence during this age of transition.

Wisdom Of Solomon In The Septuagint

de T Muraoka

~~177,55€~~ 159,80€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In spite of the traditional mention of king Solomon in the title of the book, Wisdom of Solomon can be dated to the middle of the first century BCE and was probably written by a Jewish author in Alexandria. As such it is one of the most valuable representatives of the genre known as sapiential literature, along with books such as Proverbs, Qoheleth, or Ben Sira. Wisdom of Solomon markedly differs from Proverbs and Ben Sira, the two principal representatives of the genre, in that instead of a series of unconnected sayings we have here a logical sequence, a consistent theology. Among the Septuagint writings, the level of Greek displayed in the book is extremely high. Our annotated English translation is based on the critical edition prepared by J. Ziegler (1962). Since the book''s two Syriac versions, i.e. Peshitta and Syrohexapla, demonstrate that in ancient times the document was read and studied extensively, the present study pays careful attention to them as well.

 Quelle est la fonction des representations du divin et aussi des hommes dans le Proche-Orient ancien? Quelles sont les differentes manieres de rendre visible des dieux et quelles en sont les fonctions particulieres? Ces representations materielles et visuelles permettent-elles de mieux comprendre les cultes officiels et les cultes prives? Quel est le role des images dans le culte royal? Est-ce le roi ou tous les humains qui sont l''image des dieux? Pour quelles raisons decide-t-on d''interdire des images cultuelles? Y a-t-il des precurseurs a l''interdiction biblique dans le Proche-Orient ou ailleurs? Comment les representations des dieux et des hommes changent-elles en l''absence d''image cultuelle? Le colloque Representer dieux et hommes dans le Proche-Orient ancien et dans la Bible, qui s''est tenu les 5 et 6 mai 2015 au College de France, avait pour but d''eclairer ces questions autour de l''image, un sujet central pour l''intelligence des religions anciennes et modernes. What was the function of representing deities and also humans in the ancient Near-East? Which were the different ways of making gods visible, and the specific functions of these representations? Might these material and visual representations help us to better understand official cults, as well as private cults? What was the role of images in the royal cult? Was the king the only "image" of the gods, or could all humans fulfill this role? Why were cult images forbidden? Does the biblical prohibition have any precedent or parallel in the ancient Near-East, or elsewhere? And how do the ways of representing gods and humans change in the absence of cultic images? The conference Representing Gods and Humans in the Ancient Near-East and in the Bible, held at the College de France, Paris, on May 5-6 2015, sought to shed light on these questions surrounding the image, a critical issue for our understanding of ancient as well as modern religions.

Le Peuple Aux Trois Noms - Une Histoire De L''Ancien Israel A Travers Le Prisme De Ses Ethnonymes

de F. Porzia

174,90€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Jewish identity has always been a highly disputed topic. Such a dispute increased with the first archaeological discovery of the so-called Iron Age "proto-Israelites" and the recent debates about the relationship between being a Jew and an Israeli citizen in the modern state of Israel. Notwithstanding a three thousand years old history, the name "Israel" continues to be used. Adopting a diachronic approach to the biblical text, this book retraces the history of the different ethnonyms related to the "chosen people" ("Israel", "Jews/Judeans", and "Hebrews"). Encompassing archaeological, epigraphic and literary evidence, it reassesses the role played by Jewish tradition in the development of concepts such as "peoplehood" and "group identity", which, through the Christian heritage, resulted in the modern concept of Nation-State. The Bible, the Book, is thus not only a source for the orientalist but can also be a useful tradition that may help us to a better understanding of our societies and the relationships they maintain with each other.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The question of the place of orality in the production and transmission of the great literary traditions of the ancient Near East has been widely discussed since at least the 19th century. While the idea of a dichotomy between orality and writing, with the hypothesis of a first oral phase preceding the writing of texts, has long dominated historical reconstructions, recent work has placed more emphasis on the contemporaneity of orality and writing in textual composition, editing and transmission. The very idea of contemporaneity raises new questions regarding the articulation between oral and written, a complex interweaving that may take various forms, depending on the socio-historical and cultural contexts, the literary genres and the function of the texts. With the aim of deepening our understanding of such articulations, the colloquium "Orality and Writing in Eastern Antiquity: The Processes of Composition and Redaction" was held at the College de France on May 26-27, 2016. Taking a comparative perspective, the volume addresses different geographical areas, periods, and bodies of texts, thus offering a nuanced overview of the variety of possible interactions between orality and writing in the ancient Near East.

Divine Names On The Spot Ii - Exploring The Potentials Of Names Through Images And Narratives

145,75€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 English summary: Names, images, and narratives are intimately related and frequently polysemous. As pieces of information on the gods, they convey fragments of knowledge and attempts to interpret the multifaceted complexity of the divine world. In what Robert Parker describes as an "archipelago", images and narratives are like compasses used to approach the mapping of the gods. The different contributions collected in this volume, dealing with the Greek and the Semitic worlds (the two main areas of the "Mapping Ancient Polytheisms" project), explore connections but also discrepancies between these different semantics, in order to highlight specificities and commonalities in the onomastic and iconographic languages. French description: Les noms, les images et les recits sont intimement lies et volontiers polysemiques. En tant qu''elements d''information sur les dieux, ils vehiculent des fragments de connaissance et constituent autant de tentatives d''interpretation de la complexite multiforme du monde divin. Dans ce que Robert Parker decrit comme un archipel, les images et les recits sont comme des boussoles qui facilitent la cartographie des dieux. Les differentes contributions rassemblees dans ce volume, traitant des mondes grec et semitique (les deux principaux domaines abordes dans le projet Mapping Ancient Polytheisms), explorent les connexions mais aussi les divergences existant entre ces differentes semantiques, afin de mettre en evidence les specificites et les points communs entre langage onomastique et langage iconographique.

Architecture, Iconography, And Text - New Studies On The Northwest Palace Reliefs Of Ashurnasirpal Ii

115,28€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The papers published in this volume attempt to move scholarship forward in the interpretation of the Northwest Palace reliefs of Ashurnasirpal II, with particular focus on the intersection of their architectural setting, their loaded iconography, and the text of the so-called Standard Inscription incised across their faces. The papers deal with both the interpretation of the reliefs in their ancient setting and their modern reception and heuristic use across the boundaries of disciplines. They address direct and indirect interaction of iconography and text in physical space, the roles of scribes and artisans in the production of the architecture-iconography-text ensemble, along with its impact on ancient viewers. The ensemble''s impact on modern viewers, and particularly its reception in the nineteenth century, are also examined, as well as the application of its hermeneutic analysis to the study of Hebrew poetry.

Suffering In Babylon - Ludlul Bel Nemeqi And The Scholars, Ancient And Modern

de A Lenzi

152,38€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Suffering in Babylon comprises a series of studies on Ludlul bel nemeqi. Part One examines the modern scholarship surrounding the poem''s textual reconstruction and translation. Ludlul exists today as a composite text, pieced together over the last 180 years from dozens of cuneiform tablets and fragments from various archaeological sites. With these disparate sources, Assyriologists have reconstructed three quarters of the poem''s original text, which is here translated anew with extensive epigraphic and philological notes. Part Two explores the historical contexts of the poem and its reception among first-millennium scribes. Whether the poem''s protagonist is the historical Subsi-mesre-Sakkan or not, his experiences as described in the poem provide insight into the worldview and concerns of the ancient scholars among whom the poem''s author was counted, likely from the ranks of the exorcists. The protagonist''s experience with divine revelation sheds light on those scholars'' divinatory worldview. The anatomical and pathological vocabulary used to describe his suffering compares well to the vocabulary in exorcism texts. The ritual failures he experiences reflect the poem''s institutional agenda. And the structure and language of his first person account shows intertextual connections with incantation prayers, a genre distinctive to exorcism. The poem''s subsequent incorporation into various scribal curricula and tablet collections demonstrates the poem''s cultural stature among first-millennium scribes, who wrote a commentary on Ludlul and used the text in the creation of others. Part Three offers a comparative study that bridges the ancient and modern scholarly horizons. Drawing on both ancient and modern scholarship, it compares the protagonist''s experience of the alu demon with the clinical condition known today as sleep paralysis. The book''s underlying goal is to illustrate the potential of a multi-perspectival approach to Akkadian literature that acknowledges the contexts of both ancient and modern scholars involved in producing meaningful readings of this ancient literary gem.

Power Of Images - The Poetics Of Violence In Lamentations 2 And Ancient Near Eastern Art

de J Walker

182,85€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The publication of Keel''s Symbolism of the Biblical World (German 1972, English 1978) demonstrated the val-ue of ancient Near Eastern iconography for interpreting biblical texts. In the intervening decades since (and of) Keel''s work, iconographic exegesis of the Hebrew Bible has witnessed significant methodological and theoretical developments, many of which can be broadly characterized by an increasing concern with issues of histor(icit)y and contiguity in the image-text comparison. The present work represents a (re)turn to a phenomenological approach to iconographic exegesis that is especially concerned with how images and texts might mutually inform one another at the level of their respective poetics. As a test case for such a comparison, this volume examines how the phenomenon of violence figures in Lamentations 2 and in Ashurbanipal''s palace reliefs - specifically, one of the Battle of Til-Tuba programs (Southwest Palace, Room 33) and the lion hunt reliefs (North Palace, Room C). The project begins with a discussion of the neurological and cognitive relationship between seeing images with the eye and imagining them with the "mind''s eye" as a means of justifying such a phenomenological approach that compares how ancient artists and the biblical author construct the violent images that are seen and imagined in their works, respectively (ch. 1). It then conducts detailed analyses of the poetics of violent imagery in Lamentations 2 (chs. 2-3), the Battle of Til-Tuba reliefs (ch. 4), and Ashurbanipal''s lion hunt reliefs (ch. 5) before providing an extended comparison of the similar and divergent ways that violence figures in the literary and textual images of each piece (ch. 6). Overall, the volume profers new interpretive insights concerning the phenomenon of violence in the ancient Near Eastern artwork and Lamentations 2 specifically - particularly as it pertains to the poem''s construction of Yahweh''s and Zion''s bodies, its perspectival play, its manipulation of time, and the "power" of its imagery in eliciting the divine gaze. The project also demonstrates the utility of ancient Near Eastern art for illuminating not only what but also how a given phenomenon figures in biblical poetry and vice versa.

Books Of Hosea And Micah In Hebrew And Greek

de T. Muraoka

177,55€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This is a verse-by-verse, text-critical study of two important books out of the Minor Prophets. An English translation by the author is provided alongside its Hebrew original as found in Biblia Hebreaica. The Septuagint text studied is the edition prepared by Ziegler. The main purpose of the monograph is not to discover evidences which could be valuable for reconstructing the original Hebrew text of these books, but to read the LXX as a Greek document of its own, not merely as a translation. Much attention has been directed to a whole range of linguistic issues relating to the Greek and Hebrew grammar and lexicography. Ancient fragments found in the Judaean Desert and Qumran caves of these books in Hebrew and Greek have also been looked at. The book of Hosea has been published in the series La Bible d''Alexandrie, but not that of Micah yet. Unlike this series we have paid only minimum attention to documents such as patristic commentaries from which one can learn how the LXX was interpreted without reference to its Semitic original.

Divine Names On The Spot - Towards A Dynamic Approach Of Divine Denominations In Greek And Semitic Contexts

136,48€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Ancient Greek and Semitic languages resorted to a large range of words to name the divine. Gods and goddesses were called by a variety of names and combinations of onomastic attributes. This broad lexicon of names is characterised by plurality and a tendency to build on different sequences of names; therefore, the Mapping Ancient Polytheisms project focuses on the process of naming the divine in order to better understand the ancient divine in terms of a plurality in the making. A fundamental rule for reading ancient divine names is to grasp them in their context - time and place, a ritual, the form of the discourse, a cultural milieu...: a deity is usually named according to a specific situation. From Artemis Eulochia to al-Lat, al-''Uzza and Manat, from Melqart to "my rock" in the biblical book of Psalms, this volume journeys between the sanctuary on Mount Gerizim and late antique magical practices, revisiting rituals, hymnic poetry, oaths of orators and philosophical prayers. While targeting different names in different contexts, the contributors draft theoretical propositions towards a dynamic approach of naming the divine in antiquity.

Text Of Leviticus - Proceedings Of The Third International Colloquium Of The Dominique Barthelemy Institute, Held In Fribourg (October 2015)

174,90€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The book of Leviticus is by far the most quoted in rabbinic literature such as the Mishna or the Talmud, while it has been marginalized in the Christian tradition. Nevertheless, scholars of both traditions have again become highly interested in it for some decades now. As shown by many recent publications, the book is thoroughly studied for textual, literary, historical and reception aspects. It has often been said and written that the text of Leviticus is stable in comparison to many other books of the Hebrew Bible, and that its Greek translation is quite literal. Yet, the text of Leviticus continues to raise questions, not only regarding its content and textual witnesses, but also its interpretation, history and reception. The third international colloquium of the Dominique Barthelemy Institute, held in Fribourg in October 2015, aimed to bring together some specialists of the text of Leviticus in order to advance research on its textual witnesses and the aforementioned topics. The articles collected in this book reflect the width of current research. They deal with the witnesses to the text of Leviticus in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Masoretic Text, the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Septuagint. They also study the book''s Hebrew editing; its relation to other books such as Joshua, Luke-Acts and Flavius Josephus; and the challenge of its translation, with a case study in French. Le livre du Levitique est de loin le plus cite dans la litterature juive, notamment la Mishna ou le Talmud, alors qu''il a ete marginalise dans la tradition chretienne. Neanmoins, depuis quelques decennies, les chercheurs des deux bords se sont interesses a ce livre. De nombreuses publications recentes montrent qu''il est etudie dans tous ses aspects textuels, litteraires, historique et dans sa reception. On a souvent affirme que le texte du Levitique est plus stable que celui de beaucoup d''autres livres de la Bible hebraique, que sa traduction grecque est litterale, etc. Pourtant, ce texte continue de soulever des questions, non seulement en ce qui concerne ses temoins textuels, mais aussi son interpretation, son histoire et sa reception. Tenu a Fribourg en Octobre 2015, le troisieme colloque international de l''Institut Dominique Barthelemy entendait rassembler quelques specialistes du texte du Levitique pour avancer dans la recherche sur ces differents sujets. Les etudes rassemblees dans ce volume refletent le vaste champ de recherche sur ce livre biblique. Elles touchent a la maniere dont le Levitique apparaOEt dans les temoins textuels, notamment les manuscrits de la Mer Morte, le Texte Massoretique, le Pentateuque Samaritain et la Septante. Elles abordent egalement les defis de son edition hebraique, ses relations avec d''autres livres comme Josue, Luc-Actes et Flavius Josephe et enfin les enjeux de sa traduction francaise.
