Synesius' essay De insomniis ('On Dreams') inquires into the meaning and importance of dreams for human beings and treats themes - most of all the relationship of humans to higher spheres -, which for religiously- and philosophically-minded people are still important today.

Osiris - ein Gott der Toten und ein toter Gott; von den Alten Ägyptern wurde er in zahlreichen Hymnen gepriesen und beschrieben. Diese Hymnen waren jedoch immer Gebrauchstexte, erschaffen mit der Absicht der Verwendung, erhalten aufgrund intentioneller Niederschrift. In dieser Studie spürt Daniela C. Luft die ehemaligen Verwendungsarten und Kontexte von vier Hymnenfamilien auf und zeichnet deren wechselvolle Geschichte in Form von Textbiographien nach. Dabei zeigt sie, wie Inhalte der Texte und deren Anbringung auf verschiedenen Materialien abhängig sind von den vorgesehenen Verwendungen und Funktionen. In Texteditionen und Synopsen werden die Hymnen mit ihren Varianten präsentiert. Der Nachweis, wie diese Hymnen zudem aus bereits bestehendem Textmaterial neu erschaffen wurden, macht sie zu faszinierenden Fallbeispielen für die Mechanismen religiöser Textproduktion der Alten Ägypter.

This book presents the first comprehensive study of how and why athletic contests, a characteristic aspect of Greek culture for over a millennium, disappeared in late antiquity. In contrast to previous discussions, which focus on the ancient Olympics, the end of the most famous games is analysed here in the context of the collapse of the entire international agonistic circuit, which encompassed several hundred contests. The first part of the book describes this collapse by means of a detailed analysis of the fourth- and fifth-century history of the athletic games in each region of the Mediterranean: Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, Egypt, Italy, Gaul and northern Africa. The second half continues by explaining these developments, challenging traditional theories (especially the ban by the Christian emperor Theodosius I) and discussing in detail both the late antique socio-economic context and the late antique perceptions of athletics.

In Mental Illness in Ancient Medicine: From Celsus to Paul of Aegina a detailed account is given, by a range of experts in the field, of the development of different conceptualizations of the mind and its pathology by medical authors from the beginning of the imperial period to the seventh century CE. New analysis is offered, both of the dominant texts of Galen and of such important but neglected figures as Rufus, Archigenes, Athenaeus of Attalia, Aretaeus, Caelius Aurelianus and the Byzantine 'compilers'. The work of these authors is considered both in its medical-historical context and in relation to philosophical and theological debates - on ethics and on the nature of the soul - with which they interacted.
