The Aramaic incantation bowls from Sasanian Mesopotamia are the most important source we have for studying the everyday beliefs of the Jewish, Christian, Mandaean, Manichaean, Zoroastrian and Pagan communities on the eve of the Islamic conquests. In A Corpus of Syriac Incantation Bowls, Marco Moriggi presents new editions of forty-nine Syriac incantation bowls that were originally published between 1853 and 2012, with accompanying introductions, translations, philological notes, photographs and glossaries. Furthermore, there is a detailed analysis of the Estrangela and Manichaean scripts as used on the bowls, together with newly drawn script charts. In gathering, organising and updating most of the published Syriac bowls, this book provides a valuable resource for further research into both their language and content.
Le coppe magiche mesopotamiche sono la fonte più importante per lo studio delle credenze religiose e delle superstizioni delle comunità ebraiche, cristiane, mandee, manichee, zoroastriane e pagane dell'area mesopotamica in età sasanide. In "A Corpus of Syriac Incantation Bowls" Marco Moriggi presenta nuove edizioni di 49 coppe magiche siriache che furono pubblicate tra il 1853 e il 2012. Le edizioni sono accompagnate da introduzioni, note filologiche, fotografie e glossari. Inoltre il volume contiene un'analisi dettagliata delle scritture (estrangela e manichea) usate sulle coppe. Nel raccogliere, organizzare e aggiornare le edizioni della maggior parte del repertorio conosciuto delle coppe siriache, questo volume fornisce una risorsa fondamentale per la ricerca presente e futura sulla loro lingua e i loro contenuti.

Abstract
The Aramaic incantation bowls from Sasanian Mesopotamia are the most important source we have for studying the everyday beliefs of the Jewish, Christian, Mandaean, Manichaean, Zoroastrian and Pagan communities on the eve of the Islamic conquests. In A Corpus of Syriac Incantation Bowls, Marco Moriggi presents new editions of forty-nine Syriac incantation bowls that were originally published between 1853 and 2012, with accompanying introductions, translations, philological notes, photographs and glossaries. Furthermore, there is a detailed analysis of the Estrangela and Manichaean scripts as used on the bowls, together with newly drawn script charts. In gathering, organising and updating most of the published Syriac bowls, this book provides a valuable resource for further research into both their language and content.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
