‎DUPONT-BOUCHAT (Marie-Sylvie), FRIJHOFF (Willem) et MUCHEMBLED (Robert).‎

‎Prophètes et sorciers dans les Pays-Bas, XVIe-XVIIIe siècle.‎

‎Hachette, 1978, in-8°, 366 pp, préface de Jean Delumeau, 5 cartes et tableaux, broché, bon état (Coll. Le Temps et les hommes)‎

‎"Les trois essais réunis ici sont d'un intérêt certain et méritaient la publication. Les deux parties sur la sorcellerie (« La répression de la sorcellerie dans le duché de Luxembourg aux 16e et 17e siècles », p. 43-150, et « Sorcières du Cambrésis. L'acculturation du monde rural aux 16e et 17e siècles », p. 159-261), cherchent à élucider «la furie sanguinaire des chasseurs de sorciers ». Plus que la sorcière – ou le sorcier – et son rôle, les auteurs démontent, chacun pour sa région, les complexes réseaux de causalité qui ont provoqué la définition du crime de sorcellerie, les dénonciations, les aveux, les exécutions. Partout la population, des villageois aux princes, s'est révélée complice de la justice, acharnée à dénoncer, à témoigner à charge, anxieuse de se démarquer des accusés, satisfaite de se purifier par la cérémonie expiatoire de l'exécution publique. La chasse aux sorcières est un phénomène de réaction collective à une situation instable et angoissante. Au Luxembourg, les guerres, la peste, le réveil religieux et les ordonnances judiciaires servirent de catalyseur à un malaise général. Plus inattendu peut-être est l'essai de W. Frithoff (« Prophétie et société dans les Provinces-Unies aux 17e et 18e siècles », p. 265-362) qui analyse le phénomène prophétique chez un des peuples les plus alphabétisés de l'Europe moderne à travers deux crises : celle de la guerre de Hollande (1672) et celle marquée par la panique de 1734... L'ensemble du livre évoque ainsi la «majorité silencieuse». Silencieuse jusqu'au moment où, sous la pression de mutations et d'événements qui remettent en cause l'équilibre de la société, cette majorité parle, vaticine, dénonce et, dans les flammes où brûlent les sorcières (ou les livres ou les juifs), essaie d'anéantir sa propre angoisse."

Very light shelfwear else Fine. ; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beitrage Pawb Band 34; 532 pages; English summary: The ability to translate the inner world of ideas into image displays is one of the original human characteristics. The figments of imagination translated into the communicative sphere as images represent not only external forms but also memories conveyed fears hopes or other emotions. This is especially true as it pertains to religion. But what image of God did the majority of Greeks of the ancient world hold and what were their godly images The book by Peter Eich focuses on the prevailing ideas that religious image production held in Greece as well as on the community-building function of religious images over the course of time. Contemporary testimonies are fully investigated and reinterpreted in their idiom and their contexts of meaning. German text. German description: Die Fahigkeit die innere Vorstellungswelt in Bilddarstellungen umzusetzen gehort zu den ursprunglichen menschlichen Eigenschaften. Die aus der Vorstellung in die kommunikative Sphare ubersetzten Bilder reproduzieren nicht nur aussere Formen sondern verankern auch Erinnerungen oder transportieren Angste Hoffnungen oder andere Emotionen. Dies gilt besonders auf dem Gebiet der Religion. Doch welches Gottesbild hatte die Mehrheit der Griechen der Antike und was waren Gotterbilder fur sieDas Buch von Peter Eich konzentriert sich auf die in Hellas vorherrschenden Vorstellungen die die religiose Bildproduktion bedingten und die gemeinschaftsstiftende Funktion sakraler Bilder im Wandel der Zeit. Dazu werden die Aussagen der Zeitgenossen in ihrem Idiom und in ihren Sinnzusammenhangen umfassend untersucht und mit Hilfe eines verbreiterten Methodenkanons neu gedeutet. .

‎ISIS UND IHRE DIENERINNEN IN DER KUNST DER R�MISCHEN KAISERZEIT‎

‎E. J. Brill. Near Fine. 1991. Softcover. 9004093125 . Mnemosyne Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum 115; 197 pages; Das Thema des Buches ist der Isiskult w�hrend der r�mischen Kaiserzeit wie er in zahleichen Darstellungen der �gyptischen G�ttin und solcher ihr angeglichener Frauen zum Ausdruck kommt. W�hrend sich dadurch zum einen diese Frauen ganz allgemein als Dienerinnen der Isis zu erkennen geben f�llt zum anderen ein besonderes Licht auf die zur Angleichung ausgew�hlten Bilder der G�ttin. Dabei handelt es sich anders als bei den meisten bekannten Isistypen um keine mythologisch erkl�rbaren Gottesbilder. Sie sind deshalb der Forschung ebenso r�tselhaft geblieben wie die entsprechend angeglichenen und oftmals auch als Priesterinnen oder Mystinnen bezeichneten Frauen. Das Buch behandelt somit zwei Problemkreise n�mlich die Stellung jener Frauen im Kult sowie die damit verbundene Frage nach Sinn und Bedeutung der f�r die Angleichung verbindlichen Isisbilder. Das vorwiegend plastische Material ist in einem Katalog mit volst�ndigem Abbildungsteil zusammengestellt. Auf dieser Basis bietet das Buch eine ikonographische und ikonologische Untersuchung des Themas. Die ausschliesslich in statuarischen Kopien �berlieferten Isisbilder werden in angemessener Weise auf Originale hin rezensiert; die vorranging sepulkralen Darstellungen der Isisdienerinnen werden sowohl in quellenkritischer als auch arch�ologischer Hinsicht interpretiert. Daneben kommen auch religionsgeschichtliche Probleme zum Tragen. Ein l�ngeres Exkurs am Ende des Buches ist der Frage nach der sozialen Stellung der Isisdienerinnen gewidmet. . E. J.

‎Weather, water, and climate. How we feel, how productive we are, even our sheer existence, depends on these three things. The United States economic activity varies annually by 1.7% due to weather-that is more than $500 billion dollars each year! Weather applications on mobile devices are the second most popular 'apps' - more popular than social networking, maps, music,and news. In Treading on Thin Air, Dr. Elizabeth Austin, a world-renowned atmospheric physicist, reveals how the climate is intimately tied to our daily lives. The effects and impacts of weather on humans, society and the planet are changing with the times. Dr. Austin will demystify climate change, revealing what is really happening with our climate and why, whether it is El Nino, tornadoes, floods or hurricanes. Weather and society are at its most fascinating at extremes, and as Dr. Austin is one of a handful of forensic meteorologists around the globe. She has been called upon to investigate plane crashes, murders, wildfires, avalanches, even bombing cases. Drawing upon her rich experiences, Austin's Treading on Thin Air promises to be an enlightening and informative journey through the wild word of weather.‎

‎CIVIC RITES Democracy and Religion in Ancient Athens‎

‎University of California Press. Very Good. 2010. Softcover. 0520262034 . Bottom edge stamped "Review Copy Not for Resale" else Fine. ; This book makes a strong case for the importance of religious practices in Classical Athens showing how thoroughly ritual was integrated into the city's democratic institutions and civic life. To this end Nancy Evans takes an in depth look at the cults of Athena Demeter and Dionysus and the festivals and games associated with them. Writing for the general reader as well as the scholar she reconstructs the rhythms of Athenian life and the omnipresence of ritual sacrifice and incantation in both public and private spheres. Building on this picture of the broad institutional importance of religion she goes on to provide detail of the religious backdrop to many of the key events of the Athenian Classical age including Alcibiades' profaning of the Eleusinian Mysteries and most notoriously the trial of Socrates. ; 272 pages .
