Book Description
Excerpt from Denkschriften der Kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften, 1911, Vol. 54: Philosophisch-Historische Classe Die bildlichen Darstellungen der Stunden wachen beginnen in der Mitte derwestwand, ziehen sich am Fries nach rechts und links hin und treffen wie die d104e in der Mitte der Ostwand zusammen. Auch hier genügte der Raum für alle 24 Stunden nicht; aber man schlug einen anderen Ausweg ein; man gab nur die Zeremonien der Stunden 1 - 6 des Tages und 6 - 11 der Nacht wieder.

Book Description
First published in 1993. The Yezidis are a community of around 200,000 Kurds who possess their own religion, quite distinct from Islam, which most other Kurds profess, and from the Christian and Jewish faiths. The Yezidis live in the northern parts of Iraq and Syria, in eastern Turkey, in Germany and in the ex-Soviet republics of Armenia and Georgia. (In Armenia the Yezidis, long classified as Kurds, are now recognized as a separate minority group and the term 'Kurd' is applied only to Moslem Kurds.) This book stems from a conversation with the Yezidi priest of the village who remarked that now the children were learning to read and write they were asking him questions about the Yezidi scriptures and the history of the community. Lacking any written material, he could only repeat to them the oral traditions he had himself learned as a child.

Book Description
Private associations organized around a common cult, profession, ethnic identity, neighbourhood or family were common throughout the Greco-Roman antiquity, offering opportunities for sociability, cultic activities, mutual support and a context in which to display and recognize virtuous achievement. This second volume collects a representative selection of inscriptions from associations based on the North Coast of the Black Sea and in Asia Minor, published with English translations, brief explanatory notes, commentaries and full indices. This volume is essential for several areas of study: ancient patterns of social organization; the organization of diasporic communities in the ancient Mediterranean; models for the structure of early Christian groups; and forms of sociability, status-displays, and the vocabularies of virtue.
