In Jewish Aramaic Poetry from Late Antiquity , Laura Suzanne Lieber offers annotated translations of sixty-nine poems written between the 4th and 7th century C.E. in the Land of Israel, along with commentaries and introductions. The poems celebrate a range of occasions from the ritual year and the life-cycle: Passover, Shavuot (Pentacost), the Ninth of Av, Purim, the New Moon of Nisan, the conclusion of the Torah, weddings, and funerals. Written in the vernacular of the Jews of living in Palestine after the Christianization of the Roman Empire, these works offer insight into lived Jewish experience during a pivotal age. The volume contextualizes the individual works so that readers from a range of backgrounds can appreciate the formal, linguistic, exegetical, theological, and performative creativity of these works.

Ancient China and Greece are two classical civilisations that have exerted far-reaching influence in numerous areas of human experience and are often invoked as the paradigms in East-West comparison. This book examines gender relations in the two ancient societies as reflected in convivial contexts such as family banquets, public festivals, and religious feasts. Two distinct patterns of interpersonal affinity and conflict emerge from the Chinese and Greek sources that show men and women organising themselves and interacting with each other in social occasions intended for collective pursuit of pleasure. Through an analysis of the two different patterns, Yiqun Zhou illuminates the different socio-political mechanisms, value systems, and fabrics of human bonds in the two classical traditions. Her book will be important for readers who are interested in the comparative study of societies, gender studies, women's history, and the legacy of civilisations.

Though Greece is traditionally seen as an agrarian society, cattle were essential to Greek communal life, through religious sacrifice and dietary consumption. Cattle were also pivotal in mythology: gods and heroes stole cattle, expected sacrifices of cattle, and punished those who failed to provide them. The Cattle of the Sun ranges over a wealth of sources, both textual and archaeological, to explore why these animals mattered to the Greeks, how they came to be a key element in Greek thought and behavior, and how the Greeks exploited the symbolic value of cattle as a way of structuring social and economic relations. Jeremy McInerney explains that cattle's importance began with domestication and pastoralism: cattle were nurtured, bred, killed, and eaten. Practically useful and symbolically potent, cattle became social capital to be exchanged, offered to the gods, or consumed collectively. This circulation of cattle wealth structured Greek society, since dedication to the gods, sacrifice, and feasting constituted the most basic institutions of Greek life. McInerney shows that cattle contributed to the growth of sanctuaries in the Greek city-states, as well as to changes in the economic practices of the Greeks, from the Iron Age through the classical period, as a monetized, market economy developed from an earlier economy of barter and exchange. Combining a broad theoretical approach with a careful reading of sources, The Cattle of the Sun illustrates the significant position that cattle held in the culture and experiences of the Greeks.Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.

Souvent méconnues, les sacre rappresentazioni naissent à Florence, au début du XVe siècle, sous l'impulsion des dominicains de Saint-Marc. Les buts de ce théâtre sont d'abord pédagogiques. Les enfants sont, à cette époque, au centre d'intérêts civils et religieux importants : il s'agit d'en faire de bons citoyens et de bons chrétiens. Mais les auteurs de sacre rappresentazioni sont des laïcs. Artisans ou fonctionnaires de l'État, leurs intérêts privés et leurs liens d'amitié les rattachent souvent aux Médicis. La représentation sacrée cèle alors et nourrit parfois un discours politique. Cette étude, résolument interdisciplinaire, retrace l'histoire de ce théâtre et plonge le lecteur dans l'esprit d'une époque. Elle décrypte les modes de pensée et les enjeux culturels ou politiques de ceux qui ont inauguré la Renaissance en Europe. Often unknown, the sacre rappresentazioni first appeared in Florence at the beginning of the 15th Century under the impetus of the Dominicans of Saint Marc. The objectives of this theatre are first and foremost pedagogical. In this time period, children are at the centre of civil and religious interests: the idea was to make them into good citizens and good Christians. But the authors of the sacre rappresentazioni are lay people. Artisans and servants of the State, their private interests and their friendship links often attach them to the Medicis… The sacred representation thus conceals and feeds a discourse that is occasionally political. This study, resolutely interdisciplinary, retraces the history of this theatre and puts the reader in the spirit of the time. It decodes the modes of thought and the cultural and political issues of those who inaugurated the Renaissance in Europe.
