This work is a collection of articles presented at the Second International Congress of Napoleonic Studies, 4-11 July 1999 in Israel. Edited by Aryeh Shmuelevitz of Tel Aviv University, the papers concentrate on Napoleon’s incursion into the Holy Land between 1798 and 1801. Napoleon’s European campaigns are well-studied, but the French army’s time in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East has not been as closely studied. Consequently, this volume is a significant contribution to the study of the Napoleonic era as it brings together leading experts in Napoleonic and Middle Eastern studies to discuss impact that the French invasion had both on France and the Middle East. The articles range in topic from military matters, to the effects on Ottoman reform and representations of the invasion in both French and local society.

Picture of Calling Out to Isis

Calling Out to Isis

The expansion of the cult of the goddess Isis throughout the Mediterranean world demonstrates the widespread appeal of Egyptian religion in the Greco-Roman period. In this monograph, Ashby focuses on an oft-neglected population in studies of this phenomenon: Nubian worshipers. Through examination of prayer inscriptions and legal agreements engraved on temple walls, as well as Ptolemaic royal decrees and temple imagery, Ashby sheds new light on the involvement of Nubians in the Egyptian temples of Lower Nubia, and further draws comparisons between Nubian cultic practices and the Meroitic royal funerary cult.

Picture of Aqueducts and Urbanism in Post-Roman Hispania

Aqueducts and Urbanism in Post-Roman Hispania

Our current knowledge of Roman aqueducts across the Empire is patchy and uneven. Even if the development of “aqueduct studies” (where engineering, archaeology, architecture, hydraulics, and other disciplines converge) in recent years has improved this situation, one of the aspects which has been generally left aside is the chronology of their late antique phases and of their abandonment. In the Iberian peninsula, there is to date, no general overview of the Roman aqueducts, and all the available information is distributed across various publications, which as expected, hardly mention the late phases. This publication tackles this issue by analysing and reassessing the available evidence for the late phases of the Hispanic aqueducts by looking at a wide range of sources of information, many times derived from the recent interest shown by archaeologists and researchers on late antique urbanism.

The New Syriac Primer, 2nd Edition

A truly useful introduction to the Syriac language is a rare find. This practical initiation to the study of this ancient language of the Christian church speaks with clarity and authority. A fruitful integration of scholarly introduction and practical application, this primer is more than a simple grammar or syntactic introduction to the language. Writing in a style designed for beginners, Kiraz avoids technical language and strives for a reader-friendly inductive approach. Readings from actual Syriac texts allow the student to experience the language first hand and the basics of the grammar of the language are ably explained. The book comes with downloadable material so that readers may listen to all reading sentences and text passages in the book.
