Ancient Egyptian and Afroasiatic
By challenging assumptions regarding the proximity between Egyptian and Semitic Languages, Ancient Egyptian and Afroasiatic provides a fresh approach to the relationships and similarities between Ancient Egyptian, Semitic, and Afroasiatic languages. This in-depth analysis includes a re-examination of the methodologies deployed in historical linguistics and comparative grammar, a morphological study of Ancient Egyptian, and critical comparisons between Ancient Egyptian and Semitic, as well as careful considerations of environmental factors and archaeological evidence. These contributions offer a reassessment of the Afroasiatic phylum, which is based on the relations between Ancient Egyptian and the other Afroasiatic branches. This volume illustrates the advantages of viewing Ancient Egyptian in its African context. In addition to the editors, the contributors to this collection include Shiferaw Assefa, Michael Avina, Vit Bubenik, Leo Depuydt, Christopher Ehret, Zygmunt Frajzyngier, J. Lafayette Gaston, Tiffany Gleason, John Huehnergard, Andrew Kitchen, Elsa Oréal, Chelsea Sanker, Lameen Souag, Andréas Stauder, Deven N. Vyas, Aren Wilson-Wright, and Jean Winand.

Entscheiden und Regieren
Kein Herrscher regiert alleine, sondern nur im Verbund mit anderen. Nach heutigen Vorstellungen scheinen sich vormoderne Ordnungen jedoch immer noch durch die formale Unbeschränktheit der Entscheidungsgewalt ihrer Herrscherfiguren auszuzeichnen. Daher fragt dieser Band nach 'konsensualen' Elementen vormoderner politischer Entscheidungsprozesse und analysiert unterschiedliche Erscheinungsformen vom frühkaiserzeitlichen China bis zum spätmittelalterlichen Frankreich. Wer nimmt an der Entscheidungsfindung teil, wann und worüber wird entschieden und wer trifft die eigentliche Entscheidung? Nicht zuletzt wird nach den Idealvorstellungen politischer Entscheidungsprozesse gefragt, an denen sich...
