Afterlives of Ancient Rock-cut Monuments in the Near East: Carvings in and out of Time de Jonathan Ben-Dov

Afterlives of Ancient Rock-cut Monuments in the Near East: Carvings in and out of Time: Culture and History of the Ancient Near East, cartea 123

Editat de Jonathan Ben-Dov, Felipe Rojas
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 sep 2021
This book concerns the ancient rock-cut monuments carved throughout the Near East, paying particular attention to the fate of these monuments in the centuries after their initial production. As parts of the landscapes in which they were carved, they acquired new meanings in the cultural memory of the people living around them. The volume joins numerous recent studies on the reception of historical texts and artefacts, exploring the peculiar affordances of these long-lasting and often salient monuments. The volume gathers articles by archeologists, art historians, and philologists, covering the entire Near East, from Iran to Lebanon and from Turkey to Egypt. It also analyzes long-lasting textual traditions that aim to explain the origins and meaning of rock-cut monuments and other related carvings.

Recenzii

"The volume’s contents are thus wide-ranging and the main message to learn is that ancient rock-cut monuments triggered vivid yet very varied reactions throughout their existence. (...) The editors’ intent to consider the “afterlives” of monuments in this inclusive way is to be praised"
- Marc Van De Mieroop, Columbia University, in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2022.04.26

"This is an interesting collection on how inscriptions were interpreted before modern scholarship and who was interested in doing so."
- Lester L. Grabbe, in The Society for Old Testament Study Book List 2022

“The volume’s contents are thus wide-ranging and the main message to learn is that ancient rock-cut monuments triggered vivid yet very varied reactions throughout their existence. (…) The editors’ intent to consider the “afterlives” of monuments in this inclusive way is to be praised, and I hope that the chapters that do so successfully will inspire others to pursue the same path.”
