The eleven contributions to the volume derive from a panel held at the American Oriental Society in 2013 and cover more than three millennia of historical development, ranging from Babylonian medicine and astronomy to the persistence of Mesopotamian lore in Syriac and Arabic meditations on the properties of animals. The volume also includes major contributions on the history of Mesopotamian ?rationality,? epistemic labels for tested and tried remedies, and the development of depersonalized case histories in Babylonian therapeutic compendia. Together, these studies offer an overview of several important moments in the development of non-Western scientific thinking and a significant contribution to our understanding of how traditions of technical knowledge were produced and transmitted in the ancient world. 410 0$aScience, technology, and medicine in ancient cultures ;$vVolume 3. 606 $aScience$zIraq$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aTechnology$zIraq$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aScientific literature$zIraq$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTechnical literature$zIraq$xHistory and criticism 606 $aReference books$zIraq$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aEmpiricism in literature 606 $aSemitic literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMultilingualism and literature$zIraq$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aLearning and scholarship$zIraq$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aIraq$xIntellectual life 615 0$aScience$xHistory 615 0$aTechnology$xHistory 615 0$aScientific literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTechnical literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aReference books$xHistory 615 0$aEmpiricism in literature. 615 0$aSemitic literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMultilingualism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLearning and scholarship$xHistory 676 $a509.35 702 $aJohnson$b Justin Cale$f1971- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996234837003316 996 $aIn the wake of the compendia$91399372 997 $aUNISA LEADER 03089oam 2200613I 450 001 9910495961303321 005 20230421041146.0 010 $a0-520-91708-1 010 $a0-585-10820-X 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520917088 035 $a(CKB)111054828792278 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000096237 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12034076 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000096237 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10082377 035 $a(PQKB)10831287 035 $a(OCoLC)ocm56777840 035 $a(DE-B1597)648287 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520917088 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111054828792278 100 $a20160829d1996 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAbsent lord $eascetics and kings in a Jain ritual culture /$fLawrence A.

How would such a relationship with sacred beings affect the religious life of a community? Using these questions as his point of departure, Lawrence A. Babb explores the ritual culture of image-worshipping Svetambar Jains of the western Indian states of Gujarat and Rajasthan.Jainism traces its lineages back to the ninth century B.C.E. and is, along with Buddhism, the only surviving example of India's ancient non-Vedic religious traditions. It is known and celebrated for its systematic practice of non-violence and for the intense rigor of the asceticism it promotes. A unique aspect of Babb's study is his linking of the Jain tradition to the social identity of existing Jain communities.Babb concludes by showing that Jain ritual culture can be seen as a variation on pan-Indian ritual patterns. In illuminating this little-known religious tradition, he demonstrates that divine "absence" can be as rich as divine "presence" in its possibilities for informing a religious response to the cosmos. 410 0$aComparative studies in religion and society ;$v8 606 $aJainism$xRituals 606 $aReligious life$xJainism 606 $aReligion$2HILCC 606 $aPhilosophy & Religion$2HILCC 606 $aJainism$2HILCC 615 0$aJainism$xRituals. 615 0$aReligious life$xJainism. 615 7$aReligion 615 7$aPhilosophy & Religion 615 7$aJainism 676 $a294.4/92 700 $aBabb$b Lawrence A.$01095272 712 02$aCalifornia Digital Library.$beScholarship. 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495961303321 996 $aAbsent lord$92862324 997 $aUNINA
