Otherwise in excellent condition with no inscriptions. "The letters written by Hekanakhte are some of the outstanding documents of ancient Egypt, providing us with an unparalleled insight into the texture of daily life with its problems and tasks. Due to the frailty of the writing meterial very few texts of similar nature have survived, especially from a comparably early date. This makes them all the more important, but also causes considerable difficulties in their understanding. They are further increased by the very nature of letters in general, which take information shared by the communicating parties for granted, while the outsider has to do all he can to bridge the prevailing information gap.".…

Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. Publisher - Halgo, Baltimore, MD, 1987. 1st ed. Near fine condition, mild edge wear to card covers. Egyptian Gnostics of the early centuries of the Christian era created doctrines that were profoundly different from Christian beliefs today. Even in their time the Church declared their doctrines heretical and burned their books. But a few copies, carefully hidden away in the Egyptian desert, were preserved and discovered in modern times. These texts have previously only been available in difficult translations. Howard Bream has made the clearest translations to date of several of these documents and his commentary on The Apocryphon of John probably resembles the lost explanation given to the Gnostic initiates.…

Etat : Gut. VIII, 250 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - The material world in which man lives is evil. The God of the Old Testament who created it is the devil, who was born because of a "mistake" or "flaw" at the lowest level of the spiritual realm. Man's tragedy is not original sin, but the fact that his spirit is trapped in this evil, material world. His hope for salvation is not in faith or good works, but in knowledge (in Greek, gnosis) of the truth about the universe. This truth was revealed by Christ to the apostles after His resurrection, and it has been preserved in writing. But the initiate cannot understand it without special instruction. -- From the Bible, as well as from Graeco-Roman philosophy and their ancient, native religious beliefs, the Egyptian Gnostics of the early centuries of the Christian era created the doctrines just described. While their gentle concern for the human condition is clear, their free interpretation of the Bible was profoundly alien to the beliefs familiar to us. The Church declared their doctrines heretical and burned their books. But a few copies, carefully hidden away in the Egyptian desert, were preserved and discovered in modern times. -- These fascinating texts have been available only in difficult translations made by and for scholars. The late Howard N. Bream has made the clearest translations to date of several of these documents, and his commentary on The Apocryphon of John probably resembles the lost explanation given to the Gnostic initiates. -- This book should be read by everyone who wants to understand the complex origins of Christian belief.

Paperback. Etat : New. In the present volume, the holdings of the Walters Art Museum of scarabs from ancient Egypt and the ancient Near East are published for the first time. Although scarabs and other related objects from the minor arts field were well-known and appreciated, their systematic research began only in the last decades. The current stock of published scarabs and seals permit a much better understanding of their development, dating, and diversity of motifs. The mind boggling variety of scarabs in all their diverse aspects gives important information on, until now, unknown material, and will strengthen the scholarly judgment by detail.…
