Book Synopsis The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage by : Samuel L MacGregor Mathers
Download or read book The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage written by Samuel L MacGregor Mathers and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage-originally published in 1900, translated by Samuel Mathers from a 15th-century French document-was purportedly written by Abraham for his son Lamech. Within this volume are three books. The first book is Abraham's autobiography in which he speaks to his son. The second book is an explanation of the purification rituals necessary to bring the magician's personal demon under his control. And the third book details what feats can be accomplished once the practitioner is able to use a form of magic controlled and directed through sigils of magic words written on a grid. Anyone with an interest in the occult will find this an interesting, though perhaps impractical, guide for exploring mystic arts.
Book Synopsis Il misterioso obelisco dell’elefante di Catania Catalogo della mostra, Biblioteche Riunite «Civica e A. Ursino Recupero», refettorio piccolo, 11 aprile-31 luglio 2012 by : Santo Daniele Spina
Download or read book Il misterioso obelisco dell’elefante di Catania Catalogo della mostra, Biblioteche Riunite «Civica e A. Ursino Recupero», refettorio piccolo, 11 aprile-31 luglio 2012 written by Santo Daniele Spina and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-10-05 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The obelisk in Piazza Duomo in Catania is Egyptianizing: that is to say, it is a monument that imitates Egyptian figurative elements in the imagery and in the regal and divine attributes. Furthermore, it does not exhibit hieroglyphics relating to the cult of Isis, but simply incised designs: above all human and divine figures, placed from top to bottom, which, as they do not constitute hieroglyphic writing in the full sense, serve a purely ornamental purpose. A peculiar characteristic of our obelisk, which tourist guides should highlight, is the untypical and singular octagonal shape, which so far has not been found in any other known obelisks, which have quadrangular section.

Book Synopsis Costruirono i primi templi by : Klaus Schmidt
Download or read book Costruirono i primi templi written by Klaus Schmidt and published by Oltre edizioni. This book was released on 2012-01-03 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEL CUORE DELLA PREISTORIA Gobekli Tepe: una straordinaria scoperta archeologica che rivoluziona le nostre conoscenze sul remoto passato dell'uomo e getta una nuova luce sulle antiche tradizioni che hanno originato il racconto biblico della Genesi. Klaus Schmidt, l'archeologo scopritore del primo complesso templare dell'umanita', con questo libro ci conduce per mano dentro l'enigma che attanaglia da sempre gli studiosi della preistoria: donde veniamo e come siamo arrivati fin qui? Davanti a questa domanda cruciale, l'autore non si tira indietro ed avanza ipotesi narrando, in modo coinvolgente, il suo primo impatto con la misteriosa collina di Sanliurfa, nella Turchia orientale, e con i successivi eccezionali ritrovamenti, per poi descrivere con rigore la struttura dell'insediamento neolitico, cercando di interpretare il significato dei colossali pilastri a T disposti a cerchio ed istoriati con straordinari bassorilievi naturalistici o con simboli ancora tutti da decifrare. Il tutto 7000 anni prima delle grandi piramidi egizie e in tempi ancor piu' remoti rispetto all'innalzamento del primo megalite di Stonehenge. Il sito di Gobekli Tepe, con le sue meraviglie provenienti direttamente dall'era glaciale e con quelle che giacciono misteriosamente ancora sotto il manto di terra, e' destinato a cambiare radicalmente la comprensione delle tappe dell'avventura umana. 'La scoperta degli antichissimi templi di Gobekli Tepe (X millennio a.C.) permette per la prima volta di comprendere, con chiarezza senza uguali, come cacciatori e raccoglitori abbiano dato origine alla cultura degli agricoltori sedentari. Un libro affascinante sugli inizi della rivoluzione neolitica.' (Prof. Dr. Friedemann Schrenk, Direttore della sezione paleoantropologica del Senckenberg Museum di Francoforte) 'Questa è la storia della scoperta di un santuario monumentale che, a rigor di logica, non dovrebbe nemmeno esistere. Prima che venisse in luce, infatti, nessuno avrebbe creduto che i nostri predecessori, già 12000 anni fa, fossero in grado di realizzare opere d'arte e d'architettura di tale portata. In questo libro riccamente illustrato l'archeologo Klaus Schmidt, autore degli scavi, descrive quali forze propulsive abbiano potuto manifestarsi in un momento così cruciale per la storia della civilta' umana.'' (Umberto Tecchiati)
Download or read book The Work of Art written by Gérard Genette and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What art is--its very nature--is the subject of this book by one of the most distinguished continental theorists writing today. Informed by the aesthetics of Nelson Goodman and referring to a wide range of cultures, contexts, and media, The Work of Art seeks to discover, explain, and define how art exists and how it works. To this end, Gérard Genette explores the distinction between a work of art's immanence--its physical presence--and transcendence--the experience it induces. That experience may go far beyond the object itself.Genette situates art within the broad realm of human practices, extending from the fine arts of music, painting, sculpture, and literature to humbler but no less fertile fields such as haute couture and the culinary arts. His discussion touches on a rich array of examples and is bolstered by an extensive knowledge of the technology involved in producing and disseminating a work of art, regardless of whether that dissemination is by performance, reproduction, printing, or recording. Moving beyond examples, Genette proposes schemata for thinking about the different manifestations of a work of art. He also addresses the question of the artwork's duration and mutability.

Book Synopsis The Stars of Galileo Galilei and the Universal Knowledge of Athanasius Kircher by : Roberto Buonanno
Download or read book The Stars of Galileo Galilei and the Universal Knowledge of Athanasius Kircher written by Roberto Buonanno and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating book, the author traces the careers, ideas, discoveries, and inventions of two renowned scientists, Athanasius Kircher and Galileo Galilei, one a Jesuit, the other a sincere man of faith whose relations with the Jesuits deteriorated badly. The Author documents Kircher’s often intuitive work in many areas, including translating the hieroglyphs, developing sundials, and inventing the magic lantern, and explains how Kircher was a forerunner of Darwin in suggesting that animal species evolve. Galileo’s work on scales, telescopes, and sun spots is mapped and discussed, and care is taken to place his discoveries within their cultural environment. While Galileo is without doubt the “winner” in the comparison with Kircher, the latter achieved extraordinary insights by unconventional means. For all Galileo’s fine work, the author believes that scientists do need to regain the power of dreaming, vindicating Kirchner’s view.

Book Synopsis Udjahorresnet and His World by : Melanie Wasmuth
Download or read book Udjahorresnet and His World written by Melanie Wasmuth and published by . This book was released on 2020-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixth-century BCE Egypt spawned a key figure of ancient cross-regional diplomacy. The Egyptian politician and chief physician Udjahorresnet held high inner-political functions in the former Egyptian kingship realm and became an important figure in transforming Egypt into a regional center within the vast and exceedingly culturally diverse empire of the Achaemenid Persians. His reputation was such that he was revered some two centuries after his death, but today many scholars view him as a collaborator. Udjahorresnet was, no doubt, a complex man, and he left a complex record reflecting the complex world in which he lived. The thirteen papers in this volume explore his life, his texts, his artifacts, and his milieu.
