7 Brill s Companions to Classical Studies Online I Brill s Companions offer up-to-date surveys and scholarship on anything from Greek comedy one of the unmissable volumes to Aphrodite, Ovid, and the Greek and Latin pastoral. They are not only valuable for their authors individual approaches and chosen themes: they are backed by notes and bibliographies, which are among my first resorts when embarking on a new project or returning to a well-loved subject. Brill set the standard for classical Companions; they have yet to be surpassed by others. Robin Lane Fox, University of Oxford Highlights in this collection A New Companion to Homer Edited by Ian Morris and Barry Powell BRILL COMPANIONS ONLINE A New Companion to Homer Authors: Ian Morris and Barry B. Powell Brill s Companion to Ovid Editor: Barbara Weiden Boyd Brill s Companion to Cicero Oratory and Rhetoric 7 Editor: James M. May This volume is the first English-language survey of Homeric studies to appear for more than a generation, and the first such work to attempt to cover all fields comprehensively. Thirty leading scholars from Europe and America provide short, authoritative overviews of the state of knowledge and current controversies in the many specialist divisions in Homeric studies. Brill s Companion to Ovid combines close analysis of each of Ovid s major works with a comprehensive overview of scholarly trends in the study of Latin poetry and Roman literary culture. It will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Latin literature alike. This volume is intended as a companion to the study of Cicero s oratory and rhetoric for both students and experts in the field: for the neophyte, it provides a starting point; for the veteran Ciceronian scholar, a place for renewing the dialogue about issues concerning Ciceronian oratory and rhetoric; for all, a site of engagement at various levels with Ciceronian scholarship and bibliography.

Tsagalis and Antonios Rengakos Brill s Companion to Ancient Macedon Studies in the Archaeology and History of Macedon, 650 BC AD Editor: Robin J. Lane Fox 8 The present volume sets forth the main resources for the advancing student of Ancient Greek Comedy. An international roster of specialists contributes chapters organized into three sections: Contexts : the intellectual, physical and sociohistorical setting of Athenian Comedy; History : the literary history of the Old, Middle and New periods; and Elements : the text, language and formal components of the genre (including a comprehensive bibliography). This Companion is designed as a resource for understanding and interpreting the classics of Athenian Comedy from its inception through Menander. This is the first full-scale companion on Hesiod to appear in English. The aim of this volume is to supply all those interested in Greek poetry with an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of scholarly approaches to Hesiod and various other works which have come down to us under his name. In the past 35 years our archaeological and epigraphic evidence for the history and culture of ancient Macedon has been transformed. This book brings together the leading Greek archaeologists and historians of the area in a major collaborative survey of the finds and their interpretation, many of them unpublished outside Greece. The recent, immensely significant excavations of the palace of King Philip II are published here for the first time. Major new chapters on the Macedonians Greek language, civic life, fourth and third century BC kings and court accompany specialist surveys of the region s art and coinage and the royal palace centres of Pella and Vergina, presented here with much new evidence. This book is the essential companion to Macedon, packed with new information and bibliography which no student of the Greek world can now afford to neglect.

11 Brill s Companions to Classical Studies Online II Highlights in this collection Brill s Companion to Ancient Scholarship (2 vols.) Editors: Franco Montanari, Stefanos Matthaios and Antonios Rengakos Brill s Companion to Herodotus in Antiquity and Beyond Editors: Jessica Priestley and Vasiliki Zali Brill s Companion to Ancient Geography The Inhabited World in Greek and Roman Tradition BRILL COMPANIONS ONLINE Editors: Serena Bianchetti, Michele Cataudella and Hans-Joachim Gehrke 11 Brill s Companion to Ancient Greek Scholarship aims at providing a reference work in the field of ancient Greek and Byzantine scholarship and grammar, thus encompassing the broad and multifaceted philological and linguistic research activity during the entire Greek Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Brill s Companion to the Reception of Herodotus in Antiquity and Beyond offers new insights on the reception and cultural transmission of one of the most controversial and influential texts to have survived from Classical Antiquity. Herodotus Histories has been adopted, adapted, imitated, contested, admired and criticized across diverse genres, historical periods, and geographical boundaries. Brill s Companion to Ancient Geography is the first collection of studies on historical geography of the ancient world that focuses on a selection of topics considered crucial for understanding the development of geographical thought. In this work, scholars, all of whom are specialists in a variety of fields, examine the interaction of humans with their environment and try to reconstruct the representations of the inhabited world in the works of ancient historians, scientists, and cartographers.

12 Brill's Companions to Classical Studies Online III

13 Brill s Companions to Classical Studies Online III Highlights in this collection Brill s Companion to Insurgency and Terrorism in the Ancient Mediterranean Editors: Timothy Howe and Lee L. Brice Brill s Companion to the Reception of Aristotle in Antiquity Editor: Andrea Falcon Brill s Companion to the Classics, Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany Editors: Helen Roche and Kyriakos N. Demetriou BRILL COMPANIONS ONLINE 13 In Brill s Companion to Insurgency and Terrorism in the Ancient Mediterranean World, Tim Howe and Lee Brice challenge the view that these forms of conflict are specifically modern phenomena by offering an historical perspective that exposes readers to the ways insurgency movements and terror tactics were common elements of conflict in antiquity. Brill s Companion to the Reception of Aristotle provides a systematic yet accessible account of the reception of Aristotle s philosophy in Antiquity. To date, there has been no comprehensive attempt to explain this complex phenomenon. This volume fills this lacuna by offering broad coverage of the subject from Hellenistic times to the sixth century AD. The first ever guide to the manifold uses and reinterpretations of the classical tradition in Mussolini s Italy and Hitler s Germany, Brill s Companion to the Classics, Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany explores how political propaganda manipulated and reinvented the legacy of ancient Greece and Rome in order to create consensus and historical legitimation for the Fascist and National Socialist dictatorships. The memory of the past is a powerful tool to justify policy and create consensus, and, under the Fascist and Nazi regimes, the legacy of classical antiquity was often evoked to promote thorough transformations of Italian and German culture, society, and even landscape. At the same time, the classical past was constantly recreated to fit the ideology of each regime.

14 Brill's Companions to Classical Studies Online IV

15 Brill s Companions to Classical Studies Online IV Brill s Companions consist of not just one series but a set of series, dedicated to Classical Studies, Classical Reception, the Christian Tradition and other fields of research, including literature, history, and philosophy. Together they present a truly impressive number of highly useful reference works, which scholars can consult to quickly acquaint themselves with a particular subject. As a classical scholar I often use Brill s Companions to Classical Studies, with great satisfaction. Franco Montanari, University of Genoa Highlights in this collection BRILL COMPANIONS ONLINE Brill s Companion to Military Defeat in Ancient Mediterranean Society Editors: Jessica H. Clark and Brian Turner Brill s Companion to the Reception of Alexander the Great Editor: Kenneth Royce Moore 15 In Brill s Companion to Military Defeat in Ancient Mediterranean Society, Jessica H. Clark and Brian Turner lead a re-examination of how Near Eastern, Greek, and Roman societies addressed or failed to address their military defeats and casualties of war. By focusing on the connections between war and society, history and memory, the chapters collected in this volume contribute to our understanding of the ubiquity and significance of war losses in the ancient world. Arguably no other historical figure has cast such a long shadow for so long a time. Every civilization touched by the Macedonian Conqueror, along with many more that he never imagined, has scrambled to own some part of his legacy. This volume canvasses a comprehensive array of these receptions, beginning from Alexander s own era and journeying up to the present, in order to come to grips with the impact left by this influential but elusive figure.

19 Brill s Companions to Late Antiquity and Medieval Studies Online I The Brill s Companions to the Christian Tradition book series has made major contributions to the study of the history of Christianity for well over a decade now, presenting cuttingedge scholarship on a host of significant figures and movements over many centuries. This new e-book collection of Companions to Late Antiquity and Medieval Studies makes many of these valuable studies available to a wider audience and in a convenient format. It is a significant tool for scholars and students. Bernard McGinn, University of Chicago Highlights in this collection BRILL COMPANIONS ONLINE A Companion to the Byzantine Culture of War, ca Editor: Yannis Stouraitis A Companion to the Medieval Papacy Growth of an Ideology and Institution A History of Prayer The First to the Fifteenth Century Editor: Roy Hammerling 19 Editors: Atria Larson and Keith Sisson This collection of essays on the Byzantine culture of war in the period between the 4th and the 12th centuries offers a new critical approach to the study of warfare as a fundamental aspect of East Roman society and culture in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The book s main goal is to provide a critical overview of current research as well as new insights into the role of military organization as a distinct form of social power in one of history s more long-lived empires. A Companion to the Medieval Papacy brings together an international group of experts on various aspects of the medieval papacy. Each chapter provides an up-to-date introduction to and scholarly interpretation of topics of crucial importance to the development of the papacy s thinking about its place in the medieval world and of its institutional structures. Prayer is real religion, said Auguste Sabatier. If so, the academic study of prayer allows scholars to examine the very heart of religious practices, beliefs, and convictions. Since prayers exist in a wide variety of content, contexts, forms, and practices, a comprehensive approach to the study of prayer is required. Therefore, this volume includes scholars from a wide range of disciplines, in order to discover the breadth of real religion from the first to the fifteenth centuries.

20 Brill s Companions to Late Antiquity and Medieval Studies Online I It is very helpful to have this scholarly resource on Late Antique and Medieval Studies available on line. The range of the Companions topics, from individuals such as Gregory I or Joachim of Fiore, institutions such as the Hanseatic League, or textual categories and themes such as preaching and audience is impressive. Each volume offers an immensely useful series of articles which contrive to be both authoritative surveys and independent interpretations. BRILL COMPANIONS ONLINE 20 Rosamond McKitterick, University of Cambridge A Companion to Gregory the Great Editors: Bronwen Neil and Matthew J. Dal Santo A Companion to Medieval Toledo Reconsidering the Canons Editors: Yasmine Beale-Rivaya and Jason Busic What made Pope Gregory I great? If the Middle Ages had no difficulty recognizing Gregory as one of its most authoritative points of reference, modern readers have not always found this question as easy to answer. As with any great figure, however, there are two sides to Gregory the historical and the universal. The contributors to this handbook look at Gregory s greatness from both of these angles: what made Gregory stand out among his contemporaries; and what is unique about Gregory s contribution through his many written works to the development of human thought and described human experience. A Companion to Medieval Toledo. Reconsidering the Canons explores the limits of Convivencia through new and problematized readings of material familiar to specialists and offers a thoughtful initiation for the non-specialist into the historical, cultural, and religious complexity of the iconic city of Toledo.

24 Brill's Companions to BRILL COMPANIONS ONLINE Early Modern and Modern History Online I 24

25 Brill s Companions to Early Modern and Modern History Online I These Companions are go-to resources for teaching and research: they gather the latest scholarship on a huge range of authors, themes, and places in medieval and early modern Europe. The electronic format works equally well for reading specific articles, for browsing, and for searching the volumes together in one go. They are especially powerful as a set. Ann Blair, Harvard University Highlights in this collection Handbook of European History Late Middle Ages, Renaissance and Reformation (2 vols) Bainton Prize for Reference Works A New Companion to Hispanic Mysticism Editor: Hilaire Kallendorf A Companion to the Spanish Renaissance Editor: Hilaire Kallendorf BRILL COMPANIONS ONLINE 25 Editors: Thomas A. Brady, Jr., Heiko A. Oberman and James D. Tracy The Handbook of European History brings together the best scholarship into an array of topical chapters that present current knowledge and thinking in ways useful to the specialist and accessible to students and to the educated non-specialist. Forty-one leading scholars in this field of history present the state of knowledge about the grand themes, main controversies and fruitful directions for research of European history in this era. Volume 1 (Structures and Assertions) describes the people, lands, religions and political structures which define the setting for this historical period. Volume 2 (Visions, Programs, Outcomes) covers the early stages of the process by which newly established confessional structures began to work their way among the populace. Winner of the 2011 Bainton Prize for Reference Works The canon of Hispanic mysticism is expanding. No longer is our picture of this special brand of early modern devotional practice limited to a handful of venerable saints. Instead, we recognize a wide range of marginal figures as practitioners of mysticism, broadly defined. Paradoxically, by taking a more inclusive approach to studying mysticism in its marginal manifestations, we draw mysticism in all its complex iterations back toward its rightful place at the center of early modern spiritual experience. This interdisciplinary volume combines micro- with macrohistory to offer a snapshot of the best new work being done in this area. With essays on politics and government, family and daily life, religion, nobles and court culture, birth and death, intellectual currents, ethnic groups, the plastic arts, literature, popular culture, law courts, women, literacy, libraries, civic ritual, illness, money, notions of community, philosophy and law, science, colonial empire, and historiography, it offers breathtaking scope without sacrificing attention to detail. Destined to become the standard go-to resource for non-specialists, this book also contains extensive bibliography aimed at the serious researcher.

It is organized thematically and covers a range of topics including political culture, economy, religion, gender, art, literature, music, and the environment.

31 Brill s Companions to Middle East and Islamic Studies Online I The books offer stepping stones for new research on highly influential Muslim thinkers, as well as such prominent themes as food culture, art, Islamic manuscripts, and special themes such as the concept of paradise and the reception of the Arabian Nights in world literature. Maurits van den Boogert, Leiden Highlights in this collection Arab Painting Text and Image in Illustrated Arabic Manuscripts Author: Anna Contadini The Aghlabids and their Neighbours Art and Material Culture in Ninth-Century North Africa Ibn Ḥazm of Cordoba The Life and Works of a Controversial Thinker Editors: Camilla Adang, Maribel Fierro and Sabine Schmidtke BRILL COMPANIONS ONLINE 31 Editors: Glaire D. Anderson, Corisande Fenwick and Mariam Rosser-Owen Arab painting, preserved mainly in manuscript illustrations of the 12th to 14th centuries, is here treated as an artistic corpus fully deserving of appreciation in its own terms, and not as a mere precursor to Persian painting. The book assembles papers by a distinguished list of scholars that illuminate the variety of material that survives in scientific as well as literary manuscripts. The first dynasty to mint gold dinars outside of the Abbasid heartlands, the Aghlabid (r ) reign in North Africa has largely been neglected in the scholarship of recent decades, despite the canonical status of its monuments and artworks in early Islamic art history. The essays in this volume, produced by an international group of specialists in history, art and architectural history, archaeology, and numismatics, illuminate the Aghlabid dynasty s interactions with neighbors in the western Mediterranean and its rivals and allies elsewhere, providing a state of the question on early medieval North Africa and revealing the centrality of the dynasty and the region to global economic and political networks. This volume represents the state of the art in research on the controversial Muslim legal scholar, theologian and man of letters Ibn Ḥazm of Cordoba (d. 456/1064), who is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant minds of Islamic Spain.

Overviewing the current state of research on a range of topics while opening up pathways for future inquiry, this e-book collection represents an invaluable reference tool and a unique contribution to the field of Asian Studies. Barbara Watson Andaya, University of Hawai i and Leonard Y. Andaya, University of Hawai i Highlights in this collection BRILL COMPANIONS ONLINE Early Modern and Modern Chinese Religion (four two-volume sets) Editors: John Lagerwey, Marc Kalinowski, Pengzhi Lü and Pierre Marsone Handbook of Christianity in China (2 Volume Set) (635 present) Editors: Nicolas Standaert and Gary Tiedemann Daoism Handbook Editor: Livia Kohn 35 Together, and for the first time in any language, the essays gathered in these volumes provide a composite picture of the history of religion in ancient China from the emergence of writing ca BC to the Yuan ( AD). Written by specialists in a variety of disciplines, the essays cover such subjects as divination and cosmology, exorcism and medicine, ethics and self-cultivation, mythology, taboos, sacrifice, shamanism, burial practices, iconography, and political philosophy. Who were the main actors in propagating Christianity in China? Where did Christian communities settle? What discussions were held in China, concerning Christianity? These, and many other, questions are answered in this reference work. This handbook represents a true reference guide to the reception of Christianity in China. It presents to the reader, in comprehensive fashion, all current knowledge of Christianity in China, and guides him through the main Chinese and Western sources, bibliographies and archives. The scope is broad and covers a wide range of topics, such as theology, philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, medicine, cannon, botany, art, music, and more. Thirty major scholars in the field wrote this new, authoritative guide to the main features and development of Daoism. The chapters are devoted to either specific periods, or topics such as Women in Daoism, Daoism in Korea and Daoist Ritual Music. Each chapter rigidly deals with a fixed set of aspects, such as history, texts, worldview and practices.

36 Brill s Companions to Asian Studies Online I BRILL COMPANIONS ONLINE Indian Islamic Architecture Forms and Typologies, Sites and Monuments Author: John Burton-Page Editor: George Michell The Spread of Buddhism Editors: Ann Heirman and Stephan Peter Bumbacher The Art and Architecture of Thailand From Prehistoric Times through the Thirteenth Century Author: Hiram Woodward 36 The British scholar John Burton-Page contributed numerous formative articles on Indian Islamic architecture for the Encyclopaedia of Islam over a period of 25 years. Assembled here for the first time, these offer an insightful overview of the subject, ranging from the earliest mosques and tombs erected by the Delhi sultans in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries, to the great monuments of the Mughal emperors dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. In no region of the world Buddhism can be seen as a unified doctrinal system. It rather consists of a multitude of different ideas, practices and behaviours. Geographical, social, political, economic, philosophical, religious, and also linguistic factors all played their role in its development and spread, but this role was different from region to region. Based on up-to-date research, this book aims at unraveling the complex factors that shaped the presence of particular forms of Buddhism in the regions to the north and the east of India. The result is a fascinating view on the mechanisms that allowed or hampered the presence of (certain aspects of) Buddhism in regions such as Central Asia, China, Tibet, Mongolia, or Korea. This volume, organized geographically and chronologically, covers four eras: the prehistoric period; the period characterized by the culture of the kingdom of Dvaravati; the centuries of Khmer dominance; and, as classical Khmer civilization waned, the period of the struggle for identity. A systematic and elucidating history of pre-fourteenth-century Thailand in a volume indispensable to historians of art, religion, politics, and society.

Jun 42 Winner of the 2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award Public theology has emerged in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries as theologians have increasingly entered the public square to engage complex issues.
