After a period of interest around the turn of the twentieth century, recent decades have seen an important study of Walter Burkert (1987). Yet his thematic approach makes it hard to see how the actual initiation into the Mysteries took place. To do precisely that is the aim of this book. It gives a 'thick description' of the major Mysteries, not only of the famous Eleusinian Mysteries, but also those located at the interface of Greece and Anatolia: the Mysteries of Samothrace, Imbros and Lemnos as well as those of the Corybants. It then proceeds to look at the Orphic-Bacchic Mysteries, which have become increasingly better understood due to the many discoveries of new texts in the recent times. Having looked at classical Greece we move on to the Roman Empire, where we study not only the lesser Mysteries, which we know especially from Pausanias, but also the new ones of Isis and Mithras. We conclude our book with a discussion of the possible influence of the Mysteries on emerging Christianity. Its detailed references and up-to-date bibliography will make this book indispensable for any scholar interested in the Mysteries and ancient religion, but also for those scholars who work on initiation or esoteric rituals, which were often inspired by the ancient Mysteries.Münchner Vorlesungen zu antiken Welten ;Bd. 1.Mysteries, ReligiousCivilization, ClassicalHistory, AncientAntiquity.cult.initiation.mysteries.Mysteries, Religious.Civilization, Classical.History, Ancient.292.9Bremmer Jan N.157056Sfameni Gasparro Giuliactbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910133972903321Initiation into the mysteries of the ancient world2252728UNINA04873nam 2200685 450 991079666240332120200917021826.03-11-046783-610.1515/9783110467833(CKB)3850000000001095(EBL)4718399(MiAaPQ)EBC4718399(DE-B1597)462572(OCoLC)962097410(DE-B1597)9783110467833(Au-PeEL)EBL4718399(CaPaEBR)ebr11283230(CaONFJC)MIL964164(OCoLC)963577985(PPN)202113310(EXLCZ)99385000000000109520161026h20162016 uy 0engur|n|---|||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierCode-switching with the Gods the Bilingual (Old Coptic-Greek) Spells of PGM IV (P.

Bibliothèque Nationale Supplément Grec. 574 (PGM IV) and analysis of their script, language, and the bilingual spells which they are part of. The magical practices preserved in the PDM and PGM have been published for nearly a century, yet it is only recently that research has focused on investigating the complex relationship between the languages, scripts, and religious traditions they exhibit, as well as the question of who composed, copied, and practiced these spells. Focusing on the bilingual divinations, lust spell, and exorcism of PGM IV, written in the Egyptian and Greek languages - and rendered in Old Coptic scripts and the Greek script respectively - this volume analyses their textual content and ritual mechanics, contextualised among the PDM and PGM, and investigates the potential identities of the magical practitioners of late Roman and Late Antique Egypt. Encompassing the disciplines of Egyptology, Coptology, Papyrology, and Late Antique studies, this volume focuses in particular on the themes of magical practice, bilingualism, script, and the social context of magic in Egypt during the 2nd to 4th centuries CE.Zeitschrift für ägyptische Sprache und Altertumskunde.Beiheft ;Band 4.Coptic languageTextsCoptic languageEgyptReligionEgyptAntiquities, RomanEgyptfastBilingual.Greek.Old Coptic.Spells.Coptic languageCoptic language.230.17AM 45630BVBrvkLove Edward O.
