Condition: as new. New York & Oxford : Berghahn, 2002. Paperback. 200 pp. - Research on pilgrimage has traditionally fallen across a series of academic disciplines - anthropology, archaeology, art history, geography, history and theology. To date, relatively little work has been devoted to the issue of pilgrimage as writing and specifically as a form of travel-writing. The aim of the interdisciplinary essays gathered here is to examine the relations of Christian pilgrimage to the numerous narratives, which it generates and upon which it depends. Authors reveal not only the tensions between oral and written accounts but also the frequent ambiguities of journeys - the possibilities of shifts between secular and sacred forms and accounts of travel. Above all, the papers reveal the self-generating and multiple-authored characteristics of pilgrimage narrative: stories of past pilgrimage experience generate future stories and even future journeys. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9781571816030. Keywords : RELIGION, Christian pilgrims.

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (.), 2021. 1st paperback ed. XII,401p. Paperback. 'This collection of sixteen articles is both the culmination and product of the recent renaissance of interest in Philostratus which is so frequently alluded to within its won pages. With many of the leading names in Second sophistic scholarship among its list of contributors and what I estimate to be almost a decade's delay in its publication, this volume constitutes a long-anticipated landmark in Philostratean studies. If one central position might be identified in this multifaceted collection, it is that Philostratus' works are paradigmatic of the Second sophistic's reassertion and renegotiation of classical Greek heritage and Greek cultural identity.'

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht berieben, Knicke im Schutzumschlag, minimale Randläsuren, sonst sehr guter Zustand / dust jacket slightly rubbed, creases in dust jacket, minimal edge wear, otherwise very good condition. - The history of Graeco-Roman religion has long been hesitant about accepting the category and phenomena of pilgrimage, largely perhaps because of its resistance to topics that have been strongly associated with Christianity. The essays in this volume have been gathered to demonstrate the richness, diversity, and importance of the practice of pilgrimage in antiquity, and hence to reestablish the significance of sacred travel in the ancient world. The evidence for pilgrimage is copious and variedspanning inscriptions, literary texts, first- person travel accounts, archaeology, art, and architecture. The activities which may be classified under the broad heading of sacred mobility range from the collective travel of civic delegates to the personal journeys of devotees to particular shrines, from the consultation of oracles to initiation in specific local cults or mysteries, from a sacred antiquarianism to the healing of disease. The papers gathered here span the Greek and Roman worlds, as well as early Christianity, whose practices of pilgrimage owe significant debts to pre-Christian patterns of sacred travel that Christendom none the less transformed. / Contents List of figures Abbreviations Contributors Introduction Jas Elsner and Ian Rutherford PART I.

xvii, 513 pages, illustrations : 23 cm. Summary:This book is an innovative collection of seventeen essays by leading scholars of ancient religion on aspects of pilgrimage in Greek and Roman and Early Christian Antiquity. The period covered is roughly from 500BC till 400AD, and the types of pilgrimage studied is very broad, ranging from state delegations that are more or less politically motivated to the journeys of individuals interested in intellectually or spiritual enlightenment. Essays are arranged in three sections: Part 1 ('Classical and Hellenistic Pilgrimage') comprises six essays, dealing with aspects of Greek state-pilgrimage ('the?ria'), as well as the representation of pilgrimage in literature and philosophy; Part II ('Pilgrimage in the Roman Empire') contains seven essays dealing with topics such as healing pilgrimage, cultural pilgrimage by elites and pilgrimage in oriental cults; finally Part III ('Jewish and Christian Pilgrimage') comprises four essays dealing with inter alia, Jewish and Christian pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and Christian pilgrimage in Egypt in Late Antiquity. The essays are preceded by an Introduction in which the editors discuss the appropriateness of the term 'pilgrimage' to this period, arguing against scholars who have suggested that the term should not be used when dealing with polytheism; they also set out a typology of twenty forms of pilgrimage attested in this period.
