DOWNLOAD EBOOKPara los jóvenes (y no tan jóvenes) amantes de la arqueología, el apasionante relato de veinte descubrimientos llenos de aventura y misterio. El día que Heinrich Schliemann descubrió Troya, la legendaria ciudad de la que hablaban los poemas de Homero, rompió a llorar como un niño pequeño. Corría el año 1870, tenía casi 60 años, y la había estado buscando durante toda su vida. El descubrimiento de Troya fue la prueba irrefutable de algo que hasta entonces se creía que era solo un mito. A partir de ese momento, Schliemann y otros que le siguieron recuperaron para la historia una maravillosa civilización, la micénica. Aunque es sin duda uno de los más famosos, el de Schliemann no ha sido el único hallazgo que nos ha descubierto civilizaciones, ciudades o personajes que se habían perdido en las brumas del olvido. En este libro, encontrarás la historia de los 20 descubrimientos más importantes de la arqueología. Abrirás con Howard Carter la tumba del enigmático Tutankamón, acompañarás a J.L. Burckhardt en su primer paseo por Petra, a Hiram Bingham en la primera ascensión al Machu Picchu, la ciudad engullida por la jungla, y te quedarás de piedra al desenterrar los guerreros de terracota de Xi'an con Harding y Vaux. Pero, sobre todo, sentirás la misma emoción que sintieron ellos al descubrir los secretos ocultos de la historia.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe traditional picture of the Phoenicians in Iberia is that of wily traders drawn there by the irresistible lure of the fabulous mineral wealth of the El Dorado of the ancient world. However, a remarkable series of archaeological discoveries, starting in the 1960s, have transformed our understanding of the Phoenicians and allow us to glimpse a picture of life in the Far West that is far richer, and more complex, than the traditional mercantile hypothesis. Drawing on literary and archaeological sources, this books offers an in-depth analysis of the Phoenicians in Iberia: their settlements, material culture, contacts with the local people, and activities; agricultural and cultural, as well as commercial. It concludes that the Phoenician presence in Iberia gave rise to a truly western form of Phoenician culture, one that was enriched and drew from contacts with the local population, forming a characteristic identity, still visible on the arrival of the Romans in the Peninsula.
The Spanish Hermes and Wisdom Traditions in Medieval Iberia

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA captivating study of translation, adaptation, and intellectual cross-pollination that situates the Castilian Hermes in the center of medieval Mediterranean cultural exchange Hermes Trismegistus, a Hellenistic conflation of the Greek Hermes (god of interpretative wisdom) and the Egyptian Thoth (god of wisdom) was considered by many in the medieval world as the father of culture. Between c. 300 BCE - c. 1200 CE various treatises were attributed to the legendary sage, becoming known as the Hermetica - a combination of diverse philosophical and spiritual systems, addressing subjects such as alchemy, magic, and astrology. The Hermetica circulated widely, with premodern translations in Latin, Hebrew, Syriac, Persian, Arabic, and other Eastern languages. Whilst these iterations have been thoroughly researched, little attention has been paid to the Castilian Hermes, the first rendition of the wisdom traditions of Hermes Trismegistus in a Romance language. This book follows the ways in which Hermetic knowledge was brought to the Iberian Peninsula, showing how Hermes became the philosophical and spiritual inspiration for Christian, Arabic, and Jewish scholars there. Udaondo Alegre unveils the pivotal role of King Alfonso X ("the Learned") of Castile (1252-84) in creating this Spanish Hermes. Through the meticulous tracing of source texts and literary influences, the author explores the myriad ways in which Hermes crossed religious and linguistic boundaries to embody a composite intellectual identity, emblematic of medieval Spain's multicultural ethos. Alfonso's court is revealed as the site for a unique convergence of translation and interpretation that shaped a distinctly "Hispanic" Hermes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDuring the first millennium BCE, complex encounters of Phoenician and Greek colonists with natives of the Iberian Peninsula transformed the region and influenced the entire history of the Mediterranean. One of the first books on these encounters to appear in English, this volume brings together a multinational group of contributors to explore ancient Iberia’s colonies and indigenous societies, as well as the comparative study of colonialism. These scholars—from a range of disciplines including classics, history, anthropology, and archaeology—address such topics as trade and consumption, changing urban landscapes, cultural transformations, and the ways in which these issues played out in the Greek and Phoenician imaginations. Situating ancient Iberia within Mediterranean colonial history and establishing a theoretical framework for approaching encounters between colonists and natives, these studies exemplify the new intellectual vistas opened by the engagement of colonial studies with Iberian history.

Its entries provide the passages of the epigrams where the respective characters appear; the general category to which they belong; the full name (in the case of historical characters); onomastic information, especially about frequency, meaning, and etymology; other literary or epigraphical sources; a prosopographical sketch; a discussion of relevant manuscript variants; and a bibliography. Much attention is paid to the literary portrayal of each character and the poetic usages of their names. This reference work is a much needed tool and is intended as a stimulus for further research.
