Zulkarnain Agung: Antara Cyrus dan Alexander, Jejak Cerita dalam Al-Quran dan Riwayat Sejarah
Kisah Zulkarnain (Dzulqarnain) Agung sangat familier dalam khazanah Islam. Al-Quran menyebutkannya secara khusus dalam surah al-Kahfi. Sejumlah hadis Nabi juga menyinggungnya. Namun, seperti kisah-kisah lainnya—misalnya, Ashabul Kahfi (penghuni gua)—al-Quran tidak secara detail menjelaskan apakah ia nama diri atau hanya gelar (dzu: pemilik, al-qarnain: dua tanduk). Tak pula disebutkan kapan ia hidup, di daerah mana tempat tinggal atau kerajaannya, dan hingga mana batas wilayah kekuasaannya. Sosoknya yang legendaris masih misterius, menimbulkan tanda tanya dan beragam tafsir. Sumber-sumber non-Islam menyebut tokoh Cyrus (Persia) dan Alexander (Yunani) sebagai sosok Zulkarnain yang disebut...

An Der Nordgrenze Der Vorderasiatischen Archäologie
35 papers, originally presented by an international group of researchers at a conference held in Venice in January 2013, present the results of the last 20 years of archaeological research about the pre-classical cultures of the Caucasus and Anatolia, and analyse the latter in the wider framework of their changing relations with those of the Ancient Near East and of the Eurasian steppes. The volume covers a wide chronological span - from the late 5th to the early 1st millennium BC, and includes contributions about a wide range of topics (reports of archaeological excavations and surveys, chronology, economy, social organisation of the ancient populations, technology, long-distance exchange o...
Georgia in Antiquity
The first full history of ancient Georgia ever to be written outside Georgia itself, this book also serves as a valuable introduction to the substantial archaeological work that has been carried out there in recent decades. Designed to open up ancient Georgia for the world of scholarship at large, it is not only a history of a neglected region, but also a sustained attempt to inform topics and issues that are more familiar to the historians of antiquity. Examples include myths of the periphery; Caucasian mountains and their passes; Greek colonization; the Persian, Athenian, and Selecuid empires; Pompey's conquest of Mithridates' empire; the development of the Roman frontier in the eastern Black Sea region; Roman diplomacy in Iberia; the Christianization of Iberia; Sassanian ambitions in Transcaucasia; and Byzantine warfare there.
The Mozart Family
The family into which Mozart was born has never received a rigorous contextual study which does justice to the complexity of its relationships or to its interactions with colleagues, friends, and neighbours in Mozarts native city, Salzburg. Most biographies of Mozart have undervalued the manypassages in the rich family correspondence which do not bear directly on him. This book draws on the neglected material, most of which has never been translated into English. At the heart of the work is a detailed examination of the letters, supplemented by little-known archival material from thepapers of the Berchtold family, into which Mozarts sister Nannerl married. Additional information concerning S...

The Last Years of the Georgian Monarchy, 1658-1832
Focuses on the history of Georgia on the eve of the Russian annexation in 1801, and with the years following the annexation. Also looks at the earlier dynasties of the Mukhranian Bagratids and the Bagratids of Kakhet'i.
Edge of Empires
Located at the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, Georgia is a country of rainforests and swamps, snow and glaciers, and semi-arid plains. It has ski resorts and mineral springs, monuments and an oil pipeline. It also has one of the longest and most turbulent histories in the Christian or Near Eastern world, but no comprehensive, up-to-date account has been written about this little-known country—until now. Remedying this omission, Donald Rayfield accesses a mass of new material from recently opened archives to tell Georgia’s absorbing story. Beginning with the first intimations of the existence of Georgians in ancient Anatolia and ending with the volatile presidency of Mikhe...
