Their complexity derives not only from the impressive number of onomastic elements available to describe and target specific divine powers, but also from their capacity to be combined within distinctive configurations of gods. The volume collects 36 essays pertaining to many different contexts - Egypt, Anatolia, Levant, Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome - which address the multiple functions and wide scope of divine onomastics. Scrutinized in a diachronic and comparative perspective, divine names shed light on how polytheisms and monotheisms work as complex systems of divine and human agents embedded in an historical framework. Names imply knowledge and play a decisive role in rituals; they move between cities and regions, and can be translated; they interact with images and reflect the intrinsic plurality of divine beings. This vivid exploration of divine names pays attention to the balance between tradition and innovation, flexibility and constraints, to the material and conceptual parameters of onomastic practices, to cross-cultural contexts and local idiosyncrasies, in a word to human strategies for shaping the gods through their names. 606 $aHISTORY / Medieval$2bisacsh 610 $aReligions. 610 $amonotheisms. 610 $aonomastics. 610 $apolytheisms. 615 7$aHISTORY / Medieval. 702 $aAllen$b Spencer L., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aAndrade$b Nathanael, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aAngelini$b Anna, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aAudureau$b Florian, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBachvarova$b Mary R., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBelayche$b Nicole, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBen-Dov$b Jonathan, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBernini$b Julie, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBonnet$b Corinne, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBonnet$b Corinne, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBorgeaud$b Philippe, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBricault$b Laurent, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aCornell$b Collin, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aGaifman$b Milette, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aGaloppin$b Thomas, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aGarbati$b Giuseppe, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aGordon$b Richard, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aGrand-Clément$b Adeline, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aHamidovi?$b David, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aHeller$b Anna, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aHerrero de Jáuregui$b Miguel, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aJaccottet$b Anne-Françoise, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aJokiranta$b Jutta, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aLebreton$b Sylvain, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aLeuenberger$b Martin, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aLópez-Ruiz$b Carolina, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMarano$b Giuseppina, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMinunno$b Giuseppe, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aNiehr$b Herbert, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aNieto Izquierdo$b Enrique, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aNihan$b Christophe, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPadovani$b Francesco, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPalamidis$b Alaya, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPalamidis$b Alaya, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aParker$b Robert, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPirenne-Delforge$b Vinciane, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPironti$b Gabriella, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPongratz-Leisten$b Beate, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPorzia$b Fabio, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPosani$b Claudia, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPrêtre$b Clarisse, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPérez Yarza$b Lorena, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aQuantin$b François, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aRendu Loisel$b Anne-Caroline, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aRutherford$b Ian, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aRéveilhac$b Florian, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aRüpke$b Jörg, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSimonson$b Brandon, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSuk Fong Jim$b Theodora, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aTallet$b Gaëlle, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aTimotin$b Andrei, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aToorn$b Karel van der, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aUehlinger$b Christoph, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aUrciuoli$b Emiliano R., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aYon$b Jean-Baptiste, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996586269603316 996 $aWhat?s in a Divine Name$94133347 997 $aUNISA
