Book Synopsis Viaggio nell'aldilà dell'Antico Egitto by : Pietro Testa
Download or read book Viaggio nell'aldilà dell'Antico Egitto written by Pietro Testa and published by Leonardo Paolo Lovari. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 627 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’argomento di questo libro è un testo religioso dell’Antico Egitto dal titolo Amy-Duat, ciò che c’è nell’aldilà. Lo studio di questo grande testo che orna le camere funerarie dei re della XVIII dinastia, e che proseguirà con qualche variante nei secoli seguenti, non è dei più semplici e richiede una conoscenza abbastanza approfondita della religione egiziana. Anche se la lettura potrebbe sembrare alquanto noiosa, è pur vero che si tratta di penetrare in un campo della religione funeraria destinato e fruito dal sovrano e, in parte, anche dai comuni mortali. Si tratta del viaggio notturno del sole (il dio Ra) nelle regioni del mondo oscuro della notte, in opposizione a quello luminoso del giorno. Il viaggio del dio solare, però, non è una semplice passeggiata, bensì rappresenta i pericoli di questa quarta dimensione popolata da entità pericolose, da defunti, da spiriti e da potenze malefiche che cercano di rendere difficile e ostacolare il cammino del dio della luce nelle dodici regioni, quante sono le ore della notte. Il lettore scoprirà nello svolgersi delle ore che l’antica composizione rivela un mondo di conoscenze e di stati di essere dalla dualità terrena e ultraterrena.

Book Synopsis The Visio Pauli and the Gnostic Apocalypse of Paul by : Jan N. Bremmer
Download or read book The Visio Pauli and the Gnostic Apocalypse of Paul written by Jan N. Bremmer and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Visio Pauli and the Gnostic Apocalypse of Paul is the first modern collection of studies on the most important aspects of the Visio Pauli, the most popular early Christian apocalypse in the Middle Ages. The volume starts with a short study of the textual traditions of the Visio Pauli, its Jewish and early Christian traditions as well as its influence on later literature, such as Dante. This is followed by studies of the Prologue, the four rivers of Eden, the place of the Ocean, the relation between body and soul, the image of hell and its punishments, and the connection with fantastic literature. Finally, a codicological, comparative, and textual re-evaluation of the Coptic translation attempts to correct earlier errors and to rehabilitate the value and interest of this long neglected version of the Visio Pauli. The book is concluded with a study of the earthly tribunal in the fourth heaven of the Gnostic Apocalypse of Paul. As has become customary, the volume is rounded off by an extensive bibliography of the Visio Pauli and the Gnostic Apocalypse of Paul and a detailed index.

Book Synopsis Ancient Terracottas from South Italy and Sicily in the J. Paul Getty Museum by : Maria Lucia Ferruzza
Download or read book Ancient Terracottas from South Italy and Sicily in the J. Paul Getty Museum written by Maria Lucia Ferruzza and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2016-01-25 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ancient world, terracotta sculpture was ubiquitous. Readily available and economical—unlike stone suitable for carving—clay allowed artisans to craft figures of remarkable variety and expressiveness. Terracottas from South Italy and Sicily attest to the prolific coroplastic workshops that supplied sacred and decorative images for sanctuaries, settlements, and cemeteries. Sixty terracottas are investigated here by noted scholar Maria Lucia Ferruzza, comprising a selection of significant types from the Getty’s larger collection—life-size sculptures, statuettes, heads and busts, altars, and decorative appliqués. In addition to the comprehensive catalogue entries, the publication includes a guide to the full collection of over one thousand other figurines and molds from the region by Getty curator of antiquities Claire L. Lyons. Reflecting the Getty's commitment to open content, Ancient Terracottas from South Italy and Sicily in the J. Paul Getty Museum is available online at www.getty.edu/publications/terracottas and may be downloaded for free.

Book Synopsis A Journey through the Beyond by : Silvia Zago
Download or read book A Journey through the Beyond written by Silvia Zago and published by Lockwood Press. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers the first comprehensive overview of the evolution over time of a foundational concept of the Egyptian afterlife beliefs, the Duat, or netherworld. The Duat is a complicated, multifaceted notion, which was never canonized into a single version of the beyond, but offered instead a variety of alternatives attempting to describe the metaphysical realms beyond the visible world, and beyond life. Theological speculations gave rise to a rich textual and visual repertoire, which underwent a process of evolution over thousands of years, during which newer ideas and images were constantly introduced. Through the analysis of royal and non-royal funerary texts from the late Old Kingdom to the end of the New Kingdom, this book traces the development of the conceptualization of the notion of Duat, outlining what it encompassed and where it was imagined to be located. In addition to the translation and discussion of the most significant passages of the texts analyzed, each chapter also provides an overview of the individual compositions and of the relevant theological, cosmological, and astronomical notions complementing the conceptual framework, of which the Duat formed but a part. Additionally, discussions of concurrent changes in Egyptian culture, society, and ideology are included in order to clarify the context in which afterlife beliefs and related texts evolved. An analysis of the correlation between funerary compositions and their material supports complements the study, emphasizing the Egyptians' belief in a magical synergy between texts, images, and their contexts in the activation of a suitable, effective afterlife for the recipients of the texts.

Book Synopsis Seneca the Elder and His Rediscovered ›Historiae ab initio bellorum civilium‹ by : Maria Chiara Scappaticcio
Download or read book Seneca the Elder and His Rediscovered ›Historiae ab initio bellorum civilium‹ written by Maria Chiara Scappaticcio and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The refreshed insights into early-imperial Roman historiography this book offers are linked to a recent discovery. In the spring of 2014, the binders of the archive of Robert Marichal were dusted off by the ERC funded project PLATINUM (ERC-StG 2014 n°636983) in response to Tiziano Dorandi’s recollections of a series of unpublished notes on Latin texts on papyrus. Among these was an in-progress edition of the Latin rolls from Herculaneum, together with Marichal’s intuition that one of them had to be ascribed to a certain ‘Annaeus Seneca’. PLATINUM followed the unpublished intuition by Robert Marichal as one path of investigation in its own research and work. Working on the Latin P.Herc. 1067 led to confirm Marichal’s intuitions and to go beyond it: P.Herc. 1067 is the only extant direct witness to Seneca the Elder’s Historiae. Bringing a new and important chapter of Latin literature arise out of a charred papyrus is significant. The present volume is made up of two complementary sections, each of which contains seven contributions. They are in close dialogue with each other, as looking at the same literary matter from several points of view yields undeniable advantages and represents an innovative and fruitful step in Latin literary criticism. These two sections express the two different but interlinked axes along which the contributions were developed. On one side, the focus is on the starting point of the debate, namely the discovery of the papyrus roll transmitting the Historiae of Seneca the Elder and how such a discovery can be integrated with prior knowledge about this historiographical work. On the other side, there is a broader view on early-imperial Roman historiography, to which the new perspectives opened by the rediscovery of Seneca the Elder’s Historiae greatly contribute.
