Numismatics and Greek Lexicography
Michael P. Theophilos explores the fascinating variety of numismatic contributions to Greek lexicography, pertaining to lexicographic studies of the Second Temple period in general, and the New Testament in particular. Theophilos considers previous scholarly attempts to grapple with, and incorporate, critical numismatic material into the emerging discipline of Greek lexicography - including foundational work by F. Preisigke and E. Kiessling - before outlining his own methodological approach. Theophilos' then examines the resources available for engaging with the numismatic material, and presents a series of specific case studies throughout the New Testament material. His carefully annotated images of coins draw readers in to a greater understanding of the material culture of the Greco-Roman world, and how this impacted upon the Greek language and the New Testament.
Ancient Greek and Latin in the linguistic context of the Ancient Mediterranean
Latein und Griechisch werden in diesem Sammelband unter dem Aspekt des Sprachkontakts untersucht, ein Thema, das in unserer globalen und multiethnischen Gesellschaft besonders aktuell ist. Spezialist:innen verschiedener Universitäten und Länder nehmen in Ihren Beiträgen unter anderem die linguistische Variation der griechischen Dialekte, den griechisch-lateinischen Bilinguismus, den Sprachkontakt im alten Italien, Mittleren Osten und Mittelmeer sowie Übersetzungen und Glossen in den Blick. Landkarten und Bilder alter Inschriften und Manuskripte bereichern die Diskussion. Aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive wird außerdem die Linguistik des Lateinischen und des Griechischen in ihrem Zusammenhang mit Epigraphik, Philologie, Textkritik und grammatischer Theorie untersucht. Neben Latein und Griechisch werden Daten zahlreicher alter und moderner Sprachen mit einbezogen.

KOINE
The Oxford English Dictionary defines koine as 'a set of cultural or other attributes common to various groups' . This volume merges an academic career over a half century in breadth and scope with an editorial vision that brings together a chorus of scholarly contributions echoing the core principles of R. Ross Holloways own unique perspective on ancient Mediterranean studies. Through broadly conceived themes, the four individual sections of this volume (I. A View of Classical Art: Iconography in Context; II. Crossroads of the Mediterranean: Cultural Entanglements Across the Connecting Sea; III. Coins as Culture: Art and Coinage from Sicily; and IV. Discovery and Discourse, Archaeology and Interpretation) are an attempt to capture the many and varied trajectories of thought that have marked his career and serve as testimony to the significance of his research. The twenty-four papers (plus four introductory essays to the individual sections, biographical sketch and main introduction) contain recent research on subjects ranging from the Kleophrades Painter to the Black Sea, Sicilian Coinage and archaeology in modern Rome.

Emblems in Scotland
Emblems in the visual arts use motifs which have meanings, and in Emblems in Scotland Michael Bath, leading authority on Renaissance emblem books, shows how such symbolic motifs address major historical issues of Anglo-Scottish relations, the Reformation of the Church and the Union of the Crowns. Emblems are enigmas, and successive chapters ask for instance: Why does a late-medieval rood-screen show a jester at the Crucifixion? Why did Elizabeth I send Mary Queen of Scots tapestries showing the power of women to build a feminist City of God? Why did a presbyterian minister of Stirling decorate his manse with hieroglyphics? And why in the twentieth-century did Ian Hamilton Finlay publish a collection of Heroic Emblems?
