Gr.-8°, Ppbd. 171 S., mit 70 s/w-Abb. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // The "Artemidorus Papyrus" (P. Artemid.), first published in 2008, is potentially the most significant new discovery in recent years for a range of fields within Classics: the history of drawing in the Greco-Roman world and more generally issues in the history of art, the history of ancient mapping, and the history of geographical writing in Hellenistic Egypt. Its spectacular and unprecedented collection of images and texts has been the subject of lively and impassioned debate. At a recent conference at St John's College, Oxford, an international panel of scholars discussed the artefact, the images, the map and the texts on the papyrus.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. xvii, 513 pages, illustrations : 23 cm. Summary:This book is an innovative collection of seventeen essays by leading scholars of ancient religion on aspects of pilgrimage in Greek and Roman and Early Christian Antiquity. The period covered is roughly from 500BC till 400AD, and the types of pilgrimage studied is very broad, ranging from state delegations that are more or less politically motivated to the journeys of individuals interested in intellectually or spiritual enlightenment. Essays are arranged in three sections: Part 1 ('Classical and Hellenistic Pilgrimage') comprises six essays, dealing with aspects of Greek state-pilgrimage ('theōria'), as well as the representation of pilgrimage in literature and philosophy; Part II ('Pilgrimage in the Roman Empire') contains seven essays dealing with topics such as healing pilgrimage, cultural pilgrimage by elites and pilgrimage in oriental cults; finally Part III ('Jewish and Christian Pilgrimage') comprises four essays dealing with inter alia, Jewish and Christian pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and Christian pilgrimage in Egypt in Late Antiquity. The essays are preceded by an Introduction in which the editors discuss the appropriateness of the term 'pilgrimage' to this period, arguing against scholars who have suggested that the term should not be used when dealing with polytheism; they also set out a typology of twenty forms of pilgrimage attested in this period.…

Cloth with dustjacket. Zustand: Gut. XVII, 513 p.: Ill. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht berieben, Knicke im Schutzumschlag, minimale Randläsuren, sonst sehr guter Zustand / dust jacket slightly rubbed, creases in dust jacket, minimal edge wear, otherwise very good condition. - The history of Graeco-Roman religion has long been hesitant about accepting the category and phenomena of pilgrimage, largely perhaps because of its resistance to topics that have been strongly associated with Christianity. The essays in this volume have been gathered to demonstrate the richness, diversity, and importance of the practice of pilgrimage in antiquity, and hence to reestablish the significance of sacred travel in the ancient world. The evidence for pilgrimage is copious and variedspanning inscriptions, literary texts, first- person travel accounts, archaeology, art, and architecture. The activities which may be classified under the broad heading of sacred mobility range from the collective travel of civic delegates to the personal journeys of devotees to particular shrines, from the consultation of oracles to initiation in specific local cults or mysteries, from a sacred antiquarianism to the healing of disease. The papers gathered here span the Greek and Roman worlds, as well as early Christianity, whose practices of pilgrimage owe significant debts to pre-Christian patterns of sacred travel that Christendom none the less transformed. / Contents List of figures Abbreviations Contributors Introduction Jas Elsner and Ian Rutherford PART I.
