MYSTIC CULTS IN MAGNA GRAECIA
University of Texas Press. 2009. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Very faint shelfwear. DJ spine sunned.; In Vergil's Aeneid the poet implies that those who have been initiated into mystery cults enjoy a blessed situation both in life and after death. This collection of essays brings new insight to the study of mystic cults in the ancient world particularly those that flourished in Magna Graecia essentially the area of present-day Southern Italy and Sicily. Implementing a variety of methodologies the contributors to Mystic Cults in Magna Graecia examine an array of features associated with such "mystery religions" that were concerned with individual salvation through initiation and hidden knowledge rather than civic cults directed toward Olympian deities usually associated with Greek religion. Contributors present contemporary theories of ancient religion field reports from recent archaeological work and other frameworks for exploring mystic cults in general and individual deities specifically with observations about cultural interactions throughout. Topics include Dionysos and Orpheus the Goddess Cults Isis in Italy and Roman Mithras explored by an international array of scholars including Giulia Sfameni Gasparro "Aspects of the Cult of Demeter in Magna Graecia" and Alberto Bernabé "Imago Inferorum Orphica". The resulting volume illuminates this often misunderstood range of religious phenomena.; 9.0 X 5.9 X 1.0 inches; 390 pages . 0292719027 . University of Texas Press hardcover

ATHÈNES ET DÉLOS À L'ÉPOQUE CLASSIQUE; Recherches Sur L'Administration Du Sanctuaire D'Apollon Délien
École Française D'Athènes / Diffusion De Boccard. 2008. Softcover. Very Good. Creasing to upper corner of front wrap. Laminate lifting along lower edge. Crease to spine. Minor shelfwear.; L’histoire de Délos à l’époque classique est indissociable de celle d’Athènes : depuis la fondation de la Ligue de Délos en 478 les Athéniens sont les administrateurs du sanctuaire d’Apollon délien et si la cité de Délos se maintient au cours des Ve et IVe siècles ce n’est que dans l’orbite d’Athènes qu’elle peut exister. L’histoire de Délos classique se laisse essentiellement appréhender par les inscriptions et plus particulièrement les actes administratifs athéniens du sanctuaire d’Apollon délien. Convergeant avec les sources littéraires et archéologiques ces textes épigraphiques permettent de définir précisément le statut de l’île de Délos mais également de mettre en évidence la progressive élaboration par l’autorité athénienne d’un système administratif financier et économique qui parallèlement à la construction idéologique et religieuse élaborée par Athènes dans le cadre de sa politique impérialiste rend compte des innovations introduites en Égée au cours de la période classique.; Bibliothèque Des Écoles Française D'Athènes Et De Rome.

DIVINE QUALITIES; Cult and Community in Republican Rome
Oxford University Press. 2007. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Hard bump to 1 corner. Small corrections in pen to about 8 pages by R. E. Fantham. Light shelfwear to DJ.; This book explores an aspect of how Romans thought about themselves. Its subject is 'divine qualities': qualities like Concord Faith Hope Clemency Fortune Freedom Piety and Victory which received public cult in Rome in the Republican period. Anna Clark draws on a wide range of evidence literature drama coins architecture inscriptions and graffiti to show that these qualities were not simply given cult because they were intrinsically important to 'Romans'. They rather became 'Roman' through claims counter-claims appropriations and explorations of them by different individuals. The resources brought into existence by cult temples altars coin images statues passwords votive inscriptions were visible and accessible to a broad range of people. Divine qualities were relevant to a broader social spectrum than is usually recognized and this has important consequences for our understanding of Roman society.; Oxford Classical Monographs; 380 pages . 0199226822 .

Connelly, Joan Breton
PORTRAIT OF A PRIESTESS; Women and Ritual in Ancient Greece
Princeton University Press. 2007. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Some light shelfwear to DJ.; In this sumptuously illustrated book Joan Breton Connelly gives us the first comprehensive cultural history of priestesses in the ancient Greek world. Connelly presents the fullest and most vivid picture yet of how priestesses lived and worked from the most famous and sacred of them--the Delphic Oracle and the priestess of Athena Polias--to basket bearers and handmaidens. Along the way she challenges long-held beliefs to show that priestesses played far more significant public roles in ancient Greece than previously acknowledged. Connelly builds this history through a pioneering examination of archaeological evidence in the broader context of literary sources inscriptions sculpture and vase painting. Ranging from southern Italy to Asia Minor and from the late Bronze Age to the fifth century A. D. she brings the priestesses to life--their social origins how they progressed through many sacred roles on the path to priesthood and even how they dressed. She sheds light on the rituals they performed the political power they wielded their systems of patronage and compensation and how they were honored including in death. Connelly shows that understanding the complexity of priestesses' lives requires us to look past the simple lines we draw today between public and private sacred and secular. The remarkable picture that emerges reveals that women in religious office were not as secluded and marginalized as we have thought--that religious office was one arena in ancient Greece where women enjoyed privileges and authority comparable to that of men. Connelly concludes by examining women's roles in early Christianity taking on the larger issue of the exclusion of women from the Christian priesthood. This paperback edition includes additional maps and a glossary for student use.; 10.1 X 7.4 X 1.3 inches; 415 pages . 0691127468 . Princeton University Press hardcover

THE SANCTUARY OF HEMITHEA AT KASTABOS
Cambridge University Press. 1966. Hardcover. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. DJ is price-clipped. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing.; 23pp of photos 78 figures. "This is an account of the excavation of a Greek sanctuary in the south-west corner of the mainland of Asia Minor opposite Rhodes--once known as the Carian Chersonese. The excavations took place in 1959-1960. This is the first Greek temple of any size uncovered in that part of Asia Minor and the discovery of the site of Kastabos whose existence was known from book V of Diodorus' world history has entailed the re-siting of several ancient towns in the region. The sanctuary itself whose main buildings date from c. 300 B. C. was dedicated to the Goddess Hemithea. It adds to our knowledge of a special sort of Greek shrine which was popular in the early Hellenistic age and is a perfect instance of a religious gathering place designed for a short well attended festival. The excavations show that although it was an Ionic temple the style of the great contemporary temples in Ionia such as that at Ephesus has been modified and the design is somewhat similar in plan and proportion to that of the temple of Epidaurus. In particular the discovery of a decorative screen with little shrines round the temple area throws new light on Greek architectural complexes."; 180 pages . Cambridge University Press hardcover

COSPI Antonio Maria.
Il giudice criminalista. Opera del sig. Antonio Maria Cospi, Segretario del Gran Duca di Toscana. Distinta in tre volumi. Dove con dottrina teologica, canonica, civile, filosofica, medica, storica, e poetica si discorre di tutte quelle cose, che al giudice delle cause criminali possono avvenire. Dato in luce dal dottor Ottaviano Carlo Cospi.
In Fiorenza, nella Stamperia di Zanobi Pignoni, 1643, volume unico, in-4, legatura settecentesca che riutilizza due pergamene più antiche (probabilmente smontate da rilegature di libri di formato inferiore), con dorso rinforzato in carta decorata antica e titolo calligrafato su tassello in carta, pp. 610, [2]. Frontespizio stampato in rosso e nero con stemma mediceo, 23 incisioni xilografiche nel testo (fra cui forme geometriche, la pianta di un passaggio segreto, mobili a doppio fondo, teschi e ossa umane) e una tavola allegorica in rame fuori testo (che quasi mai si trova) raffigurante un liuto senza una corda su cui si poggia una cicala e con motto latino "Ut suppleat" - simbologie per la stonatura delle perversioni del genere umano, sostenuta però dall'intelletto personificato dall'apollinea cicala -. Rara opera seicentesca sul diritto criminale scritta da Antonio Maria Cospi, giudice in varie sedi dello Stato toscano fra la fine del Cinquecento e l'inizio del Seicento, ed edita postuma dal nipote Ottaviano. Si tratta di un testo di pratica giudiziaria che tenta di organizzare i ricordi e le conoscenze professionali dell'autore. Si spazia infatti dalla trattazione scientifica alla spicciola quotidianità del criminalista, passando per la superstizione e l'aneddotica. Il Cospi si sofferma nella prima parte sulla deontologia del giudice, indicando la lussuria e quindi - in una visione fortemente antifemminile - la donna come "ianua diabuli". Nella seconda parte tratta gli ambiti della criminalità, soprattutto quelli fra reato e peccato, quali la magia, la divinazione, l'eresia, la stregoneria. Nella terza, oltre che su negromanzia, avvelenamenti, stupri, aborti, ladri, zingari e bari (alle carte o ai dadi), si sofferma a lungo sull'importanza della ricognizione del cadavere e del luogo del suo ritrovamento. Ci troviamo di fronte a un quasi manuale per "la scena del crimine", con tanto di descrizioni dettagliate e illustrazioni. L'autore sostiene proprio che il giudice necessiti di conoscenze scientifiche, anatomiche, chimiche e di disegno, oltre a quelle prettamente giuridiche e morali, per poter analizzare al meglio e mettere a verbale ogni caso in modo critico. Altro concetto innovativo e fondamentale è quello della testimonianza, intesa come interrogatorio al fine di trarre indizi dall'esame del reo e vista come unica via laddove la scienza non può arrivare. Dalle bibliografie a nostra disposizione (Piantanida/Diotallevi/Livraghi 1948, Michel 1970 e la rivista "Le Carte e la Storia" edita da Il Mulino 2002) questa del 1643 risulterebbe come prima edizione, anche se, probabilmente in tempi successivi, ne sarebbe stato censito un unico esemplare, alla Biblioteca Nazionale di Firenze, datato invece 1638. Più probabilmente però, secondo la nostra interpretazione, si tratterebbe di un errore tipografico sulla data di quest'ultimo esemplare: MDCXXXVIII (1638) invece di MDCXXXXIII (1643). La carta Oo presenta uno strappo con perdita di qualche carattere; minuto camminamento di tarlo alle 6 carte da Vv3 a Xx4, solamente marginale; alcuni fascicoli leggermente bruniti per la fattura della carta. Comunque un bell'esemplare.
