In \u003ci\u003eMy Lots are in Thy Hands: Sortilege and its Practitioners in Late Antiquity\u003c\/i\u003e, AnneMarie Luijendijk and William Klingshirn have collected fourteen essays that examine late antique lot divination, especially but not exclusively through texts preserved in Greek, Latin, Coptic, and Syriac. Employing the overlapping perspectives of religious studies, classics, anthropology, economics, and history, contributors study a variety of topics, including the hermeneutics and operations of divinatory texts, the importance of diviners and their instruments, and the place of faith and doubt in the search for hidden order in a seemingly random world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Annemarie Luijendijk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004384103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004384101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Annemarie Luijendijk","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48066404483327,"sku":"9789004384101","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_62973b14-6a0c-4526-8242-b5be42ad3a63.jpg?v=1768678309","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-lots-are-in-thy-annemarie-luijendijk-9789004384101","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
