The IOS Annual volume 24: "Let the Tabarna, the King, Be dear to the Gods" brings forth cutting-edge studies devoted to a wide array fields and disciplines of the Middle East, from the beginning of ...civilization to modern times.
Throughout antiquity patients sought relief and healing from their afflictions in the sanctuaries of Asclepius, the God of healing. The Asclepian healing cult included sacrifices, ablutions and ...incubation. In their dreams, the patients received therapeutic instructions.
But not only miraculous cures occurred in the Asclepieia, nor were these sacred sites the last refuge of the seriously ill. Using selected examples from the Roman Imperial Period, Florian Steger outlines the healthcare provided in the prominent Asclepian sanctuaries – Epidaurus and Pergamum in particular – and demonstrates that this healthcare was on a par with the contemporary medical culture. Ancient epigraphic healing reports and the patient journal of the celebrated orator Publius Aelius Aristides paint a vivid picture of the daily treatments. The medicine of Asclepius clearly formed an integral part of the Roman Empire's multifaceted healthcare market.
While many aspects of Etruscan religion are intensively discussed and studied through current conferences, publications and fieldwork, general research and an overview of the socio-political and ...economic significance of the religious sphere in Etruscan society is still lacking. This volume examines the economic roles and functions of sanctuaries, as well as their pottery assemblages and vase inscriptions, in the Etruscan heartland during the 8th–5th cent. BCE. The investigation of the Etruscan sacred economy is performed on the basis of three main research questions: the reconstruction of pottery consumption patterns, the identification of production and crafts embedded into sacred contexts, and finally the analysis of the Etruscan sacred landscape as an indicator of socio-political structures and processes.
Mental Illness in Ancient Medicine: From Celsus to Paul of Aegina traces the history of conceptions of mental disorder in Graeco-Roman medical writings, from the 1st century BCE to the 7th CE, with ...detailed studies of all significant authors.
This volume, published in honour of Egyptologist Prof. Rosalie David OBE, presents the latest research on three of the most important aspects of ancient Egyptian civilisation: mummies, magic and ...medical practice. Drawing on recent archaeological fieldwork, new research on Egyptian human remains, reassessments of ancient Egyptian texts and modern experimental archaeology, these essays try to answer some of Egyptology's biggest questions: How did Tutankhamun die? How were the Pyramids built? How were mummies made? A number of leading experts in their fields combine both traditional Egyptology and innovative scientific techniques to ancient material. The resulting overview presents the state of Egyptology in 2016, how it has developed over the last forty years, and how many of its big questions still remain the same.
This volume, authored by outstanding papyrologists and historians of ancient medicine, deals with topics focused on the papyrological evidence of ancient medical texts and contexts. The first part ...contains some new reflections on important sources such as the Anonymus Londinensis and the Hippocratic corpus, the second part collects papers about the “doctors’ context”, and the final part is focused on the digitisation of the medical papyri.
O texto está disposto em quatro momentos dialógicos: i) uma (re)introdução de um devir-América bibliográfico e contracultural, obliterado nas rasuras das escrituras coloniais, ii) uma arqueologia do ...conceito de livro a partir do advento no mundo grego antigo do anthropos como um doador de forma anímico-corporal aos grafismos alfabéticos do Ocidente, iii) a exposição do LivrOnça como um livro possível de Abya Yala, presente nas semiofagias da diferOnça (différonce) das gramatologias da América, e, por fim, iv) o último instante textual aborda os encantamentos finiciais, um presente fim como cessação da condição absoluta, desencantada e acabada do livro ocidental que se encanta através do (re)início ancestral, do endeusamento das coisas e da fabricação da vida pelas escrituras ameríndias dos povos da Terra Viva, também conhecida como Amoxtlapan, terra dos livros vivos. Diante de uma perspectiva teórica de argumentação, o texto caminha por meio dos agenciamentos terranos da geofilosofia proposta por Deleuze e Guattari e do diferimento espaço-temporal desconstrutivo do livro proposto por Derrida, entretanto, com uma diferença, ambos os métodos são devorados pelas perspectivas multinaturais dos povos ameríndios. Jaguarear o livro, este é o objetivo onçológico do texto.
El presente artículo recoge los principales lineamientos de nuestra tesis de la Maestría en Didácticas Específicas, en la Universidad Nacional del Litoral, titulada “La enseñanza de la dimensión ...temporal en los manuales de historia antigua. Un estudio de su construcción y utilización”. Se buscó comprender cómo se construye y desarrolla la temporalidad, como categoría teórica, en seis manuales seleccionados, destinados a la enseñanza de la historia antigua, editados en tres contextos normativos diferentes.Los objetivos perseguidos fueron, entre otros, identificar y describir conceptos y representaciones temporales en manuales de historia antigua; elaborar hipótesis sobre qué criterios se han seguido en el tratamiento de la temporalidad y la selección/propuesta de recursos/actividades de cada uno; analizar y comparar el tratamiento de la temporalidad en distintos manuales de historia antigua (según editorial y año de edición); y comprender las teorías que sustentan las diferentes propuestas analizadas y qué tipo de relación establecen entre historia investigada/enseñada.
Ce volume de la B.A.A.A. permet de rattraper plusieurs lacunes des deux volumes antérieurs puisque le travail de notre équipe a repris plus aisément avec la fin de la crise sanitaire. Nous observons ...cette année l’abondance des travaux de géographie historique, en particulier ceux qui sont à la croisée des sources pour identifier les peuples et les cités d’Afrique. Nous déplorons comme chaque année le nombre très faible des publications de numismatique, alors même que la documentation est abondante et les réserves des musées maghrébins très riches. Nous plaidons pour que leur accès aux chercheurs de toute origine soit facilité, au nom de l’intérêt scientifique général.
