Sommario/riassunto |
|
This elegantly written book introduces a new perspective on Indic religious history by rethinking the role of mantra in Vedic ritual. In Bringing the Gods to Mind, Laurie Patton takes a new look at mantra as "performed poetry" and in five case studies draws a portrait of early Indian sacrifice that moves beyond the well-worn categories of "magic" and "magico-religious" thought in Vedic sacrifice. Treating Vedic mantra as a sophisticated form of artistic composition, she develops the idea of metonymy, or associational thought, as a major motivator |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for the use of mantra in sacrificial performance. Filling a long-standing gap in our understanding, her book provides a history of the Indian interpretive imagination and a study of the mental creativity and hermeneutic sophistication of Vedic religion. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Supplementing the two-volume edition of Hildegard von Bingen's Physica, this book systematically assembles and provides lexicographic validation for the German vocabulary (1,038 German words) in the Physica. The Index impressively documents Hildegard's unique contribution to expanding the scope of vernacular expression |

|
|
|
(especially in the Rhine-Franconian dialect) during the early phase of German language development. |
