Book Synopsis A Definitive Reconstructed Text of the Coligny Calendar by : Garrett S. Olmsted
Download or read book A Definitive Reconstructed Text of the Coligny Calendar written by Garrett S. Olmsted and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fragmentary calendar plate from Coligny (near Lyons) apparently dates to the second-century AD, although the Gaulish calendar engraved on this plate is plainly the result of a long transmission process. The 25-year-cycle calendar, the final system of this transmission process, probably originated early in the first-century BC, before Caesar¿s conquest. It is within this late pre-Roman period that the calendar took on its final form and notation to enter a two-century long transmission process. Since only 40% of the original Coligny calendar survives as a fragmentary mosaic, the reconstruction of the original whole depends upon recognizing repetitive patterns and filling in the missing sequences of these patterns. The most significant of these patterns is that discerned in the schemes of the TII and the N lunar/solar counting marks and their associated notation. Here the chronological cycles implied by these notational patterns are explained in detail. Also provided is a glossary of the functional and etymological significance of terms utilized in these daily notational patterns. The fragmentary calendar is brought to photographic completion utilizing the original wording and engraving found on the surviving fragments.

Book Synopsis Divining the Etruscan World by : Jean MacIntosh Turfa
Download or read book Divining the Etruscan World written by Jean MacIntosh Turfa and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Etruscan Brontoscopic Calendar is a rare document of omens foretold by thunder. It long lay hidden, embedded in a Greek translation within a Byzantine treatise from the age of Justinian. The first complete English translation of the Brontoscopic Calendar, this book provides an understanding of Etruscan Iron Age society as revealed through the ancient text, especially the Etruscans' concerns regarding the environment, food, health and disease. Jean MacIntosh Turfa also analyzes the ancient Near Eastern sources of the Calendar and the subjects of its predictions, thereby creating a picture of the complexity of Etruscan society reaching back before the advent of writing and the recording of the calendar.

Book Synopsis The World of the Gauls by : Antón Bousquet
Download or read book The World of the Gauls written by Antón Bousquet and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-09-17 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than two millennia after the Roman conquest that marked the beginning of the fading away of the Gaulish tongue and culture, traces of the world of the Gauls still pervade their land. The Gauls obstinately refused to put their worldview into writing, but they nonetheless left a foundation, buried into the soil in the form of artifacts or written in the manuscripts of their neighbors. The artworks of the Gauls, in particular, represent an invaluable source concerning the way the early Celts viewed the creation: more than mere folklore, it is also a philosophy that can be seen behind the images that they carved on rocks, stamped on coins, or cast in bronze. The world of the Gauls is gone, but its foundations remain, and they can become the basis for the edification of something new, a philosophy that will not be a reconstruction of the philosophy of the ancient Celts, but rather only one that shares roots with it. The present work examines these foundations and uses them as the starting point of a modern Celtic philosophy. The backbone of the old foundation is the tripartition of the creation into three realms: the first is the Dubnos, which is the Dark and the Deep, the earth, the waters, and the shadows of the night. The "middle realm" is Bitu, Life and Being, which is characterized by the color of blood: the one of the dawn and the dusk. Finally, the last one is the Albios, which is the Bright, the light of the skies that illuminates the day, and all that cannot be touched with the hands, that is, the metaphysical world. The three realms of nature, to which the Gauls associated different gods, are themselves constantly at war with one another, as reflected in their central myth, and it is through this harmonious strife that the creation can flourish and that man can accomplish his destiny. This book represents an encounter between the traces of the essence of the Gaulish world and the works of ancient and modern philosophers such as Heraclitus and Heidegger, an encounter that offers a new vision of the world in which man lives. About the author: Antón Bousquet is an independent researcher specialized in the philosophy of language, the philosophy of religion, and comparative cultural studies. He holds a Master's degree in Linguistics from the University of Grenoble III in France and a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and Intercultural Studies from Fujen Catholic University in Taiwan. A former teacher of French as a foreign language, he has worked in different parts of Europe, the Middle-East, and Asia.
Book Synopsis Rot Gelticoi the Celtic Calendar by : Shinnilos Brivenos
Download or read book Rot Gelticoi the Celtic Calendar written by Shinnilos Brivenos and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's popular calendar was forced upon the people. Only after 2000 years has it been able to attain some kind of accuracy. Before this was imposed, people lived according to other calendars. In Europe, one of these calendars was the Geltic calendar, which was modelled after the moon and the sun. It was designed for the Geltic lands and, thus, it encompassed an area spanning from the Baltic Sea to Northwest Africa. I reconstructed this calendar based on folklore, ancient scripts, and my own experiences. The basis of the calendar is the calendar of Coligny, which is thousands of years old and was found in the Western Alps. The calendar is wholistic and therefore incorporates nature and the stars. It also interacts with the close environment. Therefore, one can find references to gods and goddesses within it, who are reflected in rivers such as the River Severn in Britain, the Danube, the Vistula as well as the Tagus River in Spain. The use of this calendar was persecuted by Christianity, Islam, and the Romans. However, its role over the course of time can be splendidly retraced in folklore. The universe is made out of several worlds, known as "tirs", and these are separated into three levels. The Gelts, indigenous peoples, and other ancient peoples already had this knowledge. This wisdom was--and is--still persecuted by the Church. I also added a global version of the calendar to this book, which is closely tied to the rhythm of the Earth. The book is over 380 pages long and sheds light on the following topics: The history of the calendar in Europe Cyclic festivals, half-moon festivals, and more... The persecution of the Geltica and the Celtic areas The gods and goddesses who are reflected in the landscape The rivers and mountains in Europe as well as in Northwest Africa, and their connection to the gods and goddesses An accurate calculation of the five-year cycle, the four seasons, and the two halves of the year Why the idea of a "Germanic" people and a "Europe" is nothing more than an artificial construction Many festivals, which are based on experiences and sources The three levels: the "Upworlds", the "Middleworlds", and the "Downworlds" Dragons and mythological beings The Rix Rigana cycle, or the "royal cycle" It also situates the festivals within the current, popular calendar Includes prophecies from folklore Includes information on several plants and their meaning Includes a global calendar for the Earth

Book Synopsis The Conquest of Gaul by : Julius Caesar
Download or read book The Conquest of Gaul written by Julius Caesar and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1983-02-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enemy were overpowered and took to flight. The Romans pursued as far as their strength enabled them to run' Between 58 and 50 BC Julius Caesar conquered most of the area now covered by France, Belgium and Switzerland, and invaded Britain twice, and The Conquest of Gaul is his record of these campaigns. Caesar’s narrative offers insights into his military strategy and paints a fascinating picture of his encounters with the inhabitants of Gaul and Britain, as well as lively portraits of the rebel leader Vercingetorix and other Gallic chieftains. The Conquest of Gaulcan also be read as a piece of political propaganda, as Caesar sets down his version of events for the Roman public, knowing he faces civil war on his return to Rome. Revised and updated by Jane Gardner, S. A. Handford’s translation brings Caesar’s lucid and exciting account to life for modern readers. This volume includes a glossary of persons and places, maps, appendices and suggestions for further reading.
