Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the ancient origins of the Verlobungs (engagement) ring and Trauring (wedding ring), symbols long believed to embody the sanctity and promise of marriage. Through meticulous examination of historical and ethnographic sources, the author traces the evolution of the practice from its humble beginnings as an element of the bride price paid by ancient Romans to its transformation into a symbol of fidelity and love. Exploring the parallels between the purchase of a bride and the sale of an object, the author uncovers the legalistic origins of the wedding ring. Through detailed analysis of ancient texts and customs, the author traces the transitions in form and meaning that gave rise to the engagement and wedding rings as we know them. Delving deep into cultural and religious traditions, the book sheds light on the symbolic meaning of the ring as an emblem of authority, fidelity, and divine sanction. The author draws connections between the ring's circular shape, representing eternity, and its association with the heart, symbolizing love and devotion. By unraveling the historical tapestry of the engagement and wedding rings, this book not only enhances our understanding of a cherished tradition, but also uncovers the profound cultural and emotional significance embedded within these enduring symbols of love and commitment.
