Ancient Egyptian Literature: Volume III: The Late Period (Ancient Egyptian Literature)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: First published in 1973 - and followed by Volume II in 1976 and Volume III in 1980 - this anthology has assumed classic status in the field of Egyptology and portrays the remarkable evolution of the literary forms of one of the world`s earliest civilizations. Volume I outlines the early and gradual evolution of Egyptian literary genres, including biographical and historical inscriptions carved on stone, the various classes of literary works written with pen on papyrus, and the mortuary literature that focuses on life after death. Introduced with a new foreword by Antonio Loprieno. Volume II shows the culmination of these literary genres within the single period known as the New Kingdom (1550-1080 B.C.). With a new foreword by Hans-W. Fischer-Elfert. Volume III spans the last millennium of Pharaonic civilization, from the tenth century B.C. to the beginning of the Christian era. With a new foreword by Joseph G. Manning. [detailed...]

Herbert Norris
Ancient Europe Costume and Fashion

1999 y.
Publisher: Dover Publications
Description: Until the publication of this book, there was no single, comprehensive volume devoted to the costume of ancient Europe. To remedy the need, noted English costume authority Herbert Norris compiled this meticulously researched study, beginning with the clothing of paleolithic times and continuing up to the Norman Conquest in 1066. Tracing the effects of historical events and cultural standards on the evolution of clothing styles, Norris provides detailed, expert coverage of the costume of classical Greece, ancient Rome, the Byzantine Empire, the clothing of the Britons of the Dark Ages, the Teutonic tribes of Germania, and the Anglo-Saxons. He has even devoted an entire chapter to the history of silk from the earliest times to a.d. 1600. To facilitate reference and assist the student, the author has also been at pains to trace the origin and development of particular garments and their relationship to forerunners and successors. Over 160 black-and-white illustrations, with… [detailed...]

Stelios Lydakes
Ancient Greek Painting and its Echoes in Later Art

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn his introduction, Stelios Lydakis notes, `It would be impossible for an art historian to study the works of antiquity without extensive reference to their influence on the art of the centuries that followed.` Lydakis provides a complete history of ancient Greek painting from the earliest examples in Crete, Thera, and Mycenae to those of the classical and Roman epochs. Through a multitude of examples, he shows how these ancient works shaped modern ones. The literary references he considers include the works of Lucian, Philostratos, Pausanias, and Pliny the Elder. The works of art reproduced include wall paintings from the Palace of Knossos, Thera, Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Oplontis, vases from the Mycenaean through the Classical periods, reliefs from the Parthenon, and mosaics from Pompeii and Delos. The book also features paintings made in later centuries by such artists as Mantegna, Titian, Durer, Raphael, Rembrandt, and Rubens that were inspired by antique models. [detailed...]

Ancient Indian Massage: Traditional Massage Techniques Based on the Ayurveda

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionMassage, done according to the natural laws of human anatomy and energy flow, offers the most pleasurable benefit of all daily practices. Regular massage vibrates and energizes the skin, muscles and nerves simultaneously and helps the body become light, active and full of vitality. Body heat and vitality increase as the heart and circulatory system open up to provide fresh oxygen and energy to all parts of the system while simultaneously flushing out waste gases and chemicals. Ancient Indian scriptures which deal with health and massage say: `diseases do not go near one who massages his feet before sleeping, just as snakes do not approach eagles.` There is new acceptance of massage nowadays. In the West people are especially interested inthis art as a rejuvenator and vitalizer. There is much literature available on various kinds of massage from different parts of the world, but there is no book about the ancient Indian system of massage where the art is ever… [detailed...]

Lester L. Grabbe
Ancient Israel: What Do We Know and How Do We Know It?

2007 y.
Publisher: T &, T Clark International
Description: A number of `histories of Israel` have been written over the past few decades yet the basic methodological questions are not always addressed: how do we write such a history and how can we know anything about the history of Israel? In Ancient Israel Lester L. Grabbe sets out to summarize what we know through a survey of sources and how we know it by a discussion of methodology and by evaluating the evidence. Grabbe`s aim is not to offer a history as such but rather to collect together and analyze the materials necessary for writing such a history. His approach therefore allows the reader the freedom, and equips them with the essential methodological tools, to use the valuable and wide-ranging evidence presented in this volume to draw their own conclusions. The most basic question about the history of ancient Israel, how do we know what we know, leads to the fundamental questions of the study: What are the sources for the history of Israel and how do we evaluate them? How… [detailed...]
