Para os estudiosos da Filologia Românica, uma tradução para o português, em edição crítica e bilíngue, da narrativa de peregrinação de Egéria – a Peregrinatio Egeriae –, com elaborado glossário e anotações filológicas, é motivo de comemoração. Não se trata apenas de mais uma edição do conhecido documento latino, mas o resultado de um paciente trabalho de anos. Em busca das indispensáveis fontes bibliográficas, a autora permaneceu um ano em Paris, junto à Sorbonne. [...] Estamos diante de um documento desafiador, na medida em que levanta muitas questões filológicas, históricas e factuais, que especialistas tentaram e ainda tentam responder. O leitor verificará que a presente obra traz algumas contribuições importantes para uma melhor compreensão desse documento. (Bruno Fregni Basseto)

L'endroit sur terre où "les spectacles sont permanents" : c'est ainsi qu'un voyageur crétois, émerveillé par son séjour, caractérise Athènes au IIIe siècle avant notre ère. À partir de l'époque hellénistique, la cité se positionne en effet comme "capitale culturelle" du monde grec, notamment grâce à ses nombreuses compétitions artistiques et sportives dont le prestige ne fut jamais démenti jusqu'à la fin du Haut- Empire romain. Cet ouvrage se penche sur les agents de cette politique culturelle volontariste, des magistrats civiques appelés agonothètes ou athlothètes, qui étaient choisis par la cité spécifiquement pour superviser l'organisation et le financement des compétitions. En traitant en détail les fonctions, le rôle et les carrières souvent remarquables de ces organisateurs de concours sur près de six cents ans, ce livre se veut aussi bien une étude portant sur les compétitions athéniennes et leur cadre institutionnel qu'une contribution plus générale à l'histoire d'Athènes aux époques hellénistique et impériale.

The twin sisters Agnes Lewis (1843-1926) and Margaret Gibson (1843-1920) were pioneering biblical scholars who became experts in a number of ancient languages. Travelling widely in the Middle East, they made several significant discoveries, including one of the earliest manuscripts of the four gospels in Syriac, the language believed to have been spoken by Jesus himself. Previously published in the Horae Semitica series, this second fascicule contains Gibson's English translation of the Didascalia Apostolorum. Traditionally attributed to the apostles, the text is a treatise on Church law and doctrine, and the volume includes additional material supplied by Gibson from a variety of sources. Covering topics including church organisation, charity and forgiveness, Gibson described the Didascalia as a 'potent instrument' used to gain the 'unquestioning obedience of the Christian people'.

How, in this Christian age of belief, can we draw sense from the ritual acts of Christians assembled in worship? Convinced that people shape their meanings from the meanings available to them, Graham Hughes inquires into liturgical constructions of meaning within the larger cultural context of late twentieth-century meaning theory. Major theories of meaning are examined in terms of their contribution or hindrance to this meaning making: analytic philosophy, phenomenology, structuralism and deconstruction. Drawing particularly upon the work of Charles Peirce, Hughes turns to semiotic theory to analyse the construction, transmission and apprehension of meaning within an actual worship service. Finally the book analyses the ways in which various worshipping styles of western Christianity undertake this meaning making. Taking account of late modern values and precepts, this ground-breaking book will appeal to teachers and students of theology, to clergy, and to thoughtful lay Christians.

Ritualized violence is by definition not haphazard or random, but seemingly intentional and often ceremonial. It has a long history in religious practice, as attested in texts and artifacts from the earliest civilizations. It is equally evident in the behaviors of some contemporary religious activists and within initiatory practices ongoing in many regions of the world. Given its longevity and cultural expanse, ritualized violence presumably exerts a pull deeply into the sociology, psychology, anthropology, theology, perhaps even ontology of its practitioners, but this is not transparent. This short volume will sketch the subject of ritualized violence, that is, it will summarize some established theories about ritual and about violence, and will ponder a handful of striking instantiations of their link.
