Crown provides a guide to the techniques used by the Samaritan scribes in copying manuscripts. He places Samaritan works in a description of their literary history and shows the more important manuscripts of each type of literature. In addition there is a listing of Samaritan scribes and the manuscripts for which they were responsible. Overall the work shows that the Samaritan scribes were innovative but their scribal techniques derived from an ancient pool of scribal habits and ideas and they had what can be described as a masoretic tradition of their own. Variation in writing habits arose in different scribal schools, some of them are indicated. All in all, the work is a codicology of Samaritan manuscripts." (from the publisher's description)

The book of Pufendorf continues to surprise, allows one to re-read the great conflict, known as the Second Northern War, which influenced a large part of Europe. Many legends and myths relate to this dramatic era, some of which are supported by the data contained in the Pufendorf's book, and others may be challenged on the basis of his account. For a better understanding and appreciation of the work it should be noted that Pufendorf was an eyewitness to some events and their contemporary, which adds to the power of his narrative. The study is devoted mainly to the military history, but it also touches upon… Read More

From the blurb: "This book explores the role of bodily, sensory experience in early Christianity (first - seventh centuries AD) by focusing on the importance of smell in ancient Mediterranean culture. Following its legalization in the fourth century Roman Empire, Christianity cultivated a dramatically flourishing devotional piety, in which the bodily senses were utilized as crucial instruments of human-divine interaction. Rich olfactory practices developed as part of this shift, with lavish uses of incense, holy oils, and other sacred scents. At the same time, Christians showed profound interest in what smells could mean. How could the experience of smell be construed in revelatory terms? What specifically could it convey?
