{"product_id":"mantik-sarah-iles-johnston-9789004283343","title":"Mantikê: Studies in Ancient Divination","description":"This book thoroughly revisits divination as a central phenomenon in the lives of ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. It collects studies from many periods in Graeco-Roman history, from the Archaic period to the late Roman, and touches on many different areas of this rich topic, including treatments of dice oracles, sortition in both pagan and Christian contexts, the overlap between divination and other interpretive practices in antiquity, the fortunes of independent diviners, the activity of Delphi in ordering relations with the dead, the role of Egyptian cult centers in divinatory practices, and the surreptitious survival of recipes for divination by corpses. It also reflects a range of methodologies, drawn from anthropology, history of religions, intellectual history, literary studies, and archaeology, epigraphy, and paleography. It will be of particular interest to scholars and student of ancient Mediterranean religions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Iles Johnston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900428334X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004283343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Sarah Iles Johnston","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078890844415,"sku":"9789004283343","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d4797a6-79f9-4894-b3f6-beeeb82c4ebe.jpg?v=1685478117","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mantik-sarah-iles-johnston-9789004283343","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
