The Administration of Egypt in the Late Middle Kingdom. The Hieratic Documents

SIA, 1990. Gekartonneerd. Pp: 253. "From the reign of Senusret II until the mide 13th Dynasty, the national bureaucracy of Egypt attained the most tightly regulated form known under the Pharaohs. Officials bore titles demarcating their functions with a new precision, spirit of an age that produced the most ancient border stones along with the mightiest of Egyptian fortresses. The firsthand evidence for this bureaucracy lies in the few surviving papyri and leather rolls upon which the scribes of the late Middle Kingdom recorded their work. The documents are gathered here for the first time for consideration as a group. They include two remarkable and un paralleled papyri, Papyrus Brooklyn 35.1446 and Papyrus Boulaq 18. Papyrus Brooklyn 35.1446 includes a register of legal cases concerning fugitives who took flight rather than fulfil their obligatory period of manual labour for the state. Papyrus Boulaq 18 contains the day-by-day accounts file on income and expenditure at the royal court during a visit by the king to his southern capital Thebes. The author assesses previous studies of these unevenly published records, and proposes new interpretations, with the aim of preparing the ground for a fuller description of the government of Egypt at its most intensive"-Back cover.

Anatolia: The Celts in Anatolia and the impact of Roman rule

Clarendon Press, 1993. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 266. This is the first comprehensive study of the history of Asia Minor in antiquity to be written for nearly fifty years and the first attempt to treat Anatolian history as a whole over the millennium from the time of Alexander the Great to the peak of the Byzantine Empire. The first volume is in two parts. The first examines the region in the Hellenistic period, when it was dominated by Celtic tribes who settled in the interior of Asia Minor in the first half of the third century B.C. The second covers the period of the Roman Empire and looks in detail at the changes brought about by imperial rule. ISBN: 9780198140801. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Art As History, History As Art. Jheronimus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel the Elder: Assembling Knowledge Not Setting Puzzles

Brepols, 2014. Hardcover. Pp: 419. This book challenges many of the assumptions about Jheronimus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The academic contest to unravel these two has never abated. What exactly is the meaning of their work is one of art history's blood sports. The answer lies in the cultural relationship between the artwork and its audience. Both artists demonstrate social, economic and political resonances in paintings that are numbingly familiar yet still poorly understood. There is social, religious, and political motivation in their art, an art that is frequently described in art historical isolation. For Bosch the image was a morality play about the paucity of good in a world teeming with evil monsters. For Bruegel it was frequently a reference to political events. Far from producing puzzle pictures they were assembling knowledge as part of a visual culture that was central to the life of society. It relates to the knowledge of the world at a particular time and two artists' experiences of it. It stretches from the sexuality and spirituality of Bosch to secular satisfaction in Bruegel at a time of social upheaval and a great turning point of world history - the beginning of the modern world and the end of the Middle Ages.

Stephen Gill 19866

Hackney Flowers

Nobody, 2007. Ed./Druk: 1e druk. Hardcover. Pp: 59. UK photographer Stephen Gill has again used his surroundings as the inspiration for this beautiful and evocative series. Hackney Flowers evolved from Gill's longstanding interest in Hackney, East London. For this volume, Gill collected flowers, seeds, berries and objects from Hackney, then pressed them in his studio and rephotographed them alongside his own photographs and other found ephemera, thus building up multi-layered images built from the area. Some of the base photographs were also buried in Hackney Wick, allowing the subsequent decay to imprint upon the images, stressing this collaboration with place. A parallel series also runs within this finely produced book, showing members of the Hackney public with floral details on their persons. This is a warm, poetic and visually exciting book containing images that leave an overwhelming sense of color, emotion and rhythm extracted from a single borough of London. ISBN: 9780954940539. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.

Stephen Mulhall 81973

Inheritance and Originality. Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Kierkegaard

Clarendon Press, 2001. Ed./Druk: 1e druk. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 460. What might it mean to think of philosophy as being in the condition of modernism - in which its relation to its own past, and hence its sense of its own future, has become an undismissable problem? If philosophy's hitherto-defining conventions can neither be taken for granted nor rejected, they must be put in question - which menans re-evealuating the relation between the form and content of philosophical writing, rethinking the demands that such writing must place on its readers, and reconceiving the nature of philosophy itself. Inheritance and Originality argues that the writings of Wittgenstein, Heidegger, and Kierkegaard are best understood as responsive (each in their own way) to such questions, and as driven in consequence to strikingly similar reconceptions of language, reason, and understanding, doubt and scepticism, morality, and the structure of selfhood. Through detailed re-readings of these authors' most influential texts, as attentive to their specificity as to their family resemblances, Stephen Mulhall reorients our sense of the philosophical work each text aims to accomplish, to engender a critical dialogue betweeen them from which the elements of a new conception of philosophy might emerge, and to uncover that conception's indebtedness to certain fundamental theological preoccupations.

Kenneth Burke

Routledge, 1993. Linnen band. Pp: 123. Kenneth Burke: Rhetoric and Ideology is a lucid and accessible introduction to a major twentieth-century thinker those ideas have influenced fields as diverse as literary theory, philosophy, linguistics, politics and anthropology. Stephen Bygrave explores the content of Burke's vast output of work, focusing especially on his preoccupation with the relation between language, ideology and action. By considering Burke as a reader and writer of narratives and systems, Bygrave examines the inadequacies of earlier readings of Burke and unfolds his thought within current debates in Anglo-American cultural theory. This is an excellent re-evaluation of Burke's thought and valuble introduction to the impressive range of his ideas. ISBN: 9780415022118. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
