Book Description
This second selection of articles by Professor Mélèze-Modrzejewski deals with the questions of personal status and family ties in Classical law, both Greco-Roman and Eastern. It covers the period up to the Christian era, with Hellenistic Egypt as its focus. The first studies examine what was held to distinguish free men, slaves and animals, as well as what constituted a ’Greek’ in Lagid Egypt. The following section looks at the legal structures of Greek marriage and, in particular, at the problem of ’irregular’ unions, whether between close relatives or with foreigners. Finally, the author deals with two aspects of a person’s estate: the State’s appropriation of this where there was no heir, and the nature of foundations in Greek law. The volume concludes with a section of additional notes. Ce nouveau recueil du prof. Joseph Mélèze Modrzejewski (pour le premier, voir ; oooo) propose un choix de dix études relatives au statut personnel et aux liens de famille dans les droits de l’Antiquité orientale et gréco-romaine, jusqu’à l’époque chretienne. La problématique du statut personnel est abordée dans quatre essais: hommes et bêtes, esclaves, Grecs et Égyptiens dans le royaume des Lagides. La deuxième partie porte sur le mariage et la famille dans le droit grec et hellénistique. Outre un essai de synthèse sur la structure juridique du mariage grec, elle s’attache en particulier au problème des unions irrégulières : mariage entre proches parents et mariage avec l’étranger. La dernière partie reprend deux travaux concernant des aspects du destin des biens de famille après la disparition du titulaire: la dévolution à l’Etat des successions en déshérence d’après la loi successorale de Doura-Europos et la nature juridique des fondations en droit grec. Le recueil est accompagné d’addenda qui offrent une mise à jour.

Book Description
This authoritative and sweeping compendium, the second volume in Getzel Cohen's organized survey of the Greek settlements founded or refounded in the Hellenistic period, provides historical narratives, detailed references, citations, and commentaries on all the settlements in Syria, The Red Sea Basin, and North Africa from 331 to 31 BCE. Organized geographically, the volume pulls together discoveries and debates from dozens of widely scattered archaeological and epigraphic projects. Cohen's magisterial breadth of focus enables him to provide more than a compilation of information; the volume also contributes to ongoing questions and will point the way toward new avenues of inquiry.

Book Description
This volume contains editions of sixty-five Greek, Demotic, Coptic and Arabic texts from Egypt, contributed as a token of friendship and respect by forty-six of Klaas Worp’s colleagues and co-authors upon his retirement from the Papyrological Institute of the University of Leiden in August 2008. The contents are as diverse as Klaas Worp’s own wide range of interests, and provide a vivid impression of life and culture in Graeco-Roman Egypt. The texts are written on papyrus, potsherds, parchment, paper and wood. They include both literary and documentary papyri and ostraca, and date from the third century BC to the eleventh century AD. They are published fully, most for the first time, with transcriptions and translations, and are accompanied by photographs.

Book Description
Where Dreams May Come was the winner of the 2018 Charles J. Goodwin Award of Merit, awarded by the Society for Classical Studies. In this book, Gil H. Renberg examines the ancient religious phenomenon of “incubation", the ritual of sleeping at a divinity’s sanctuary in order to obtain a prophetic or therapeutic dream. Most prominently associated with the Panhellenic healing god Asklepios, incubation was also practiced at the cult sites of numerous other divinities throughout the Greek world, but it is first known from ancient Near Eastern sources and was established in Pharaonic Egypt by the time of the Macedonian conquest; later, Christian worship came to include similar practices. Renberg’s exhaustive study represents the first attempt to collect and analyze the evidence for incubation from Sumerian to Byzantine and Merovingian times, thus making an important contribution to religious history. This set consists of two books.

Book Description
/0A long-standing tradition within biblical scholarship sets the Greek text of the Septuagint constantly in relationship with its supposed Hebrew or Aramaic Vorlage, examining the two together in terms of their grammatical alignment as a standard. Yet another tradition frames the discussion in different terms, preferring instead to address the Septuagint first of all in light of its contemporary Greek linguistic environment and only then attempting to describe its language and style as a text. It is this latter approach that William A. Ross employs in this textually based study of the Greek versions of Judges, a so-called double text in the textual history of the Septuagint. The results of his study offer a window into the Old Greek translation and its later revision, two distinct stages of Greek Judges with numerous instances of divergent vocabulary choices that reflect deliberateness in both the original selection and the subsequent change within the textual development of the book. Ross’s study illustrates the practicalities and payoff of a Greek-oriented lexicographical method that situates the language of the Septuagint squarely within its contemporary historical and linguistic context.
