Zeitschrift für ägyptische Sprache und Altertumskunde – Beihefte

Wells E: A Social and Religious Analysis
of New Kingdom Votive Stelae

A Social and Religious Analysis of New Kingdom Votive Stelae

Display and Devotion

Obwohl viele Quellen aus dem alten Ägypten für den polymorphen Bes erhalten sind, wurde diese Form eines mehrköpfigen Wesens in Abhandlungen zur ägyptischen Religion bisher nicht thematisiert. Die Monographie widmet sich dieser speziellen göttlichen Kreation und stellt erstmals deren religiöse Bedeutung heraus. 
 
 Der spezielle Typus von Bes mit mehreren Häuptern ist durch viele Quellen wie Reliefs, Statuetten, Vignetten und Gemmen sowie Texte in altägyptischer, griechischer und vielleicht auch in koptischer Sprache überliefert. Er stellte offenbar ein recht verbreitetes und vor allem beliebtes Wesen dar, das nicht nur im königlichen Umfeld, sondern auch bei ,normalen' Menschen rezipiert und in schutzmächtigen Ritualen angewandt wurde. Die Quellen sind vom siebten vorchristlichen Jahrhundert bis in die Spätantike überliefert. In der Spätantike sind Funde dann nicht nur aus Ägypten sondern auch aus entfernten Gebieten wie von der Schwarzmeerküste und aus Mitteleuropa erhalten. 
 
 Durch die Quellen wird deutlich, dass man es sicher nicht mit einem unbedeutenden Wesen zu tun hat. Ein Bes mit mehreren Häuptern war sicher keine "Ausgeburt der Zauberer" oder eine "willkürliche Spielerei", sondern ein theologisch sehr bedeutsames Konstrukt.

Bes has been transmitted from Ancient Egypt as a polymorphic figure with several heads. According to the sources, he was a fairly widespread and especially popular being that was received in both royal and private contexts and used in protective rituals. This entity has been documented in many sources since the seventh century BCE, such as reliefs, statuettes, texts, and vignettes, and was even depicted on gems in late antiquity.

Untersuchungen zu Entwicklung, Devianz und Tradition eines mehrköpfigen Wesens im alten Ägypten

Der polymorphe Bes

This book gathers a group of scholars whose work has been influenced by the distinctive dialogue between ancient philosophy (and rhetoric) and critical theory promoted by the scholarship of James I. Porter. A classicist who has pushed classics beyond itself - beyond its traditional boundaries - Porter has demonstrated that antiquity cannot be studied without participating in what is sometimes dismissively labeled "reception." The collection here does not simply celebrate the work of a major figure in the field of classics through a series of Porterian writing experiments, but locates the futures of classics in its predisposition to endless transformation, alteration, reconfiguration, and fugitive or exilic deterritorialization. Philology is a practice of philosophy in that contact with the ghosts of antiquity and its diachronic manifestations in modernity confronts the interpreter with opportunities for unlearning as well as learning, unthinking as well as thinking, and for engaging with impossibilities as well as possibilities. The essays gathered here, unified by these themes, include contributions on ancient philosophy (Democritus, the sophists, Aristotle, and Lucretius); reflections on the sublime, which Porter has pivotally elucidated; interventions on the theme of philology and exile (in Nietzsche, Marx, Freud, and Derrida); and theoretical musings on the "agony of immanence," the "biomatic," the "atmospheric," and the relationship between immigration and classical reception.

Essays in Honor of Jim Porter

The Philology of the Future

Through a series of case-studies of nine Aegean and Ionian islands, the contributors examine the ancient epigraphic culture of each island's political, social and religious history from the archaic age until late antiquity. These Mediterranean islands - Delos, Thera, Crete, Chis, Samos, Kos, Rhodes, Amorgos and the Ionian islands - were a world in themselves with their own dialects, cults, customs and political structures. Through a careful reading of a range of inscriptions, new interpretations arise concerning our understanding of their constitutional history, economic transformation, relationship with major powers, as well as notions of identity and connectivity. Inscribing for public display was a feature of Greek civilization that was carried out not only by priests, politicians and the elite, but also by individual citizens. The Greeks developed a plethora of distinct categories of inscriptions, going beyond the standard of epitaphs and dedications to the gods, to include decrees of the people, honorific inscriptions cut into the bases of statues and monuments dedicated to benefactors and athletes. However, the intensity of inscribing varied from one century to the other, and these fluctuations can be represented from a quantative approach as epigraphic curves. The significance of this volume is that it offers an overview of the history of these lesser states, which are not necessarily well documented in literary evidence to the degree comparable with Athens or Sparta.

Scientia Graeco-Arabica

This study tracks the progress of Suhrawardī’s philosophy focusing on his critique of the axial doctrine of the categories and topics related to it: predication and hylomorphism. While it’s known that he rejected hylomorphism and reduced the categories into five, it’s not known how and in which context he has achieved his positions. This is a philosophical study with an eye on the history of concepts. Each chapter detects the historical development from Aristotle through his commentators to Avicenna and critical Avicennans, and then to Suhrawardī. Suhrawardī discerns two diverging projects in the Categories: An ontological project of the ten highest genera of being, and a project of predication embodied in Aristotle’s predicative square. He discusses the latter in the Isagoge, whereas the former is discussed and reduced to five (substance, quality, quantity, relation, motion) in metaphysics. He also shifts hylomorphism from metaphysics – its Avicennan locus – to physics. Perhaps for this reason scholars never paid attention to his proper texts for the theory of body and confined themselves with the polemics of Ḥikmat al-išrāq. This is the first study of physics and general metaphysics of al-Talwīḥāt, al-Mašāriʿ, and al-Muqāwamāt.

How the modern world has understood the ancient Greeks and why they matter todayThe study of ancient Greek history has been central to the western conception of history since the Renaissance. The Muse of History traces the shifting patterns of this preoccupation in the last three centuries, in which each generation has reinterpreted the Greeks in the light of their contemporary world, through times of revolution, conflicting ideologies and warfare. It aims to offer a new history of Greek historiography from the Enlightenment to the present, and to acknowledge the continuing spiritual importance of the ancient Greeks for European culture in the twentieth century under totalitarian persecutions. Through the study of different historians, many of them unjustly forgotten, it shows the problematic nature of the Anglo-Saxon tradition and the importance of ideas from the continent of Europe, the ambiguities of democracy, and the impossibility of understanding the past or the present outside our common European heritage. It ends by offering suggestions for the future of the study of the Greeks in the context of world history.
