The Hermetic Link
Hermes is the Greek god of the Word, of thought and magic, the swift-moving messenger of the Divine and guardian of souls in the Afterlife. In Ancient Egypt he was the majestic god Thoth, the Recorder, the lord of measurement and science, the brother/husband of Isis. In Rome, he was of course Mercury, flying through the Empyrean at the speed of idea by the aid of his winged helmet and boots. In this broad survey of the Hermetic arts, author Jacob Slavenburg brings an unparalleled depth of insight to the subject. He examines the historical Hermetic literature and details its relevance to modern occultism, from the symbolism of architecture and art to the mysteries of Freemasonry. The heavenly...

The People and the State
This volume is the fourth in the series Corollaria Crustumina and deals with the results of the project The People and the State, Material culture, social structure, and political centralisation in Central Italy (800-450 BC). This project of the Groningen Institute of Archaeology, carried out between 2010 and 2015 in close collaboration with the Archaeological Service of Rome, deals with the changing socio-political situation at ancient Crustumerium resulting from Rome's rise to power. The volume brings together data from the domains of geology, geoarchaeology, urban and rural settlement archaeology, funerary archaeology, material culture studies as well as osteological and isotope analyses. On the basis of these data, a relationship is established between changes in material culture on the one hand and developments in social structure and political centralisation in Central Italy on the other in the period between 850 and 450 BC.
Projectmanagement
Als projectmanagers zien we een niet aflatende stroom van nieuwe methoden op ons afkomen. Wat zegt deze hang naar methodeontwikkeling? Werkeloosheid of positioneringsdrift van adviseurs? Of hebben we het nog niet te pakken? Zijn we nog steeds op zoek omdat alles wat we hebben blijkbaar niet effectief genoeg is? En dan nog iets. Een aantal ervaren projectmanagers zegt uiteindelijk in de praktijk niet zoveel baat te hebben bij alle beschikbare methoden en dat het strikt toepassen ervan bij omvangrijke projecten relatief weinig bijdraagt aan projectsucces! De tijd is rijp om naar aanvullende wegen te zoeken om het vak Projectmanagement te verrijken. Daarbij moeten we de neiging om de wereld in maakbaarheidsvoorschriften te vatten even laten varen. Terug naar de dingen zelf!
Gnostic Religion in Antiquity
Gnostic religion is the expression of a religious worldview which is dominated by the concept of Gnosis, an esoteric knowledge of God and the human being which grants salvation to those who possess it. Roelof van den Broek presents here a fresh approach to the gnostic current of Late Antiquity within its historical and religious context, based on sources in Greek, Latin and Coptic, including discussions of the individual works of preserved gnostic literature. Van den Broek explores the various gnostic interpretations of the Christian faith that were current in the second and third centuries, whilst showing that despite its influence on early Christianity, gnostic religion was not a typically Christian phenomenon. This book will be of interest to theologians, historians of religion, students and scholars of the history of Late Antiquity and early Christianity, as well as specialists in ancient gnostic and hermetic traditions.
A Feminist Companion to the New Testament Apocrypha
The eleventh volume in this series examines New Testament Apocryphal texts, including the Acts of Paul and Thecla, the Acts of John, the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Peter, the Martyrdom of Perpetua, the Acts of Xanthippe and Polyxena, the Acts of Andrew, the Acts of Thomas, and the Apocalypse of Peter, as well as Joseph and Asenath, the Irish apocrypha, and the Greek novels. In this diverse collection the contributors utilize a variety of approaches to explore topics such as the construction of Christian identity, the Christian martyr, heterodoxy and orthodoxy, conjugal ethics and apostolic homewreckers, trials and temptations, the rhetoric of the body, asceticism, and eroticism.
Studies in Gnosticism and Alexandrian Christianity
The discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library (1945) has given an enormous impetus not only to the study of ancient Gnosticism but also to that of early Christianity in general. Most of the studies contained in this volume deal with mythological conceptions and theological ideas found in various Nag Hammadi writings. The gnostic views on the nature of God and on creation and salvation receive particular attention, ranging from Philo to the medieval Cathars. The Nag Hammadi Library also shed new light on the development of early Alexandrian Christianity and its theology. The book contains six studies which explicitly deal with these topics. This volume is of interest to students of Gnosticism, early Christianity and Graeco-Roman religious and philosophical ideas in general.
From Poimandres to Jacob Böhme
14 studies dealing with ancient, medieval and early modern forms of Gnosis, their myths, rites, ideas and expectations, with strong emphasis on Hermetic traditions. Contributions by R. van den Broek, C. Gilly, P. Kingsley, J.-P. Mahe, and G. Quispel.
The Preservation of Jewish Religious Books in Sixteenth-Century Germany: Johannes Reuchlin's Augenspiegel
This book is the first complete and thoroughly commented English translation of Johannes Reuchlin’s Augenspiegel (1511). The translation sheds light on the author’s motive in appealing to the authorities for the preservation of Jewish books at a stage of great cultural change in Early Modern Europe. It also addresses the question of how the church and state dealt intellectually with Judaism at a time when it was considered a threat to the existence of Christianity. The translation of one of the most politically controversial sixteenth century pamphlets provides a view of the treatment of a minority’s culture with perhaps lessons for today’s world.
De Transitie
Wat doe je als de stekker uit je organisatie gaat? Hoe reageren medewerkers en managers? Hoe zorg je dat zoveel mogelijk mensen ergens anders aan de slag kunnen en wat moet er allemaal gebeuren voordat het kantoor op slot kan? Wat zegt de managementtheorie daarover en hoe loopt het daadwerkelijk in de praktijk? Over de transitie van een organisatie is maar weinig te vinden in de literatuur. Dit boek is een uitzondering op die regel. Het gaat over de praktijkervaringen van een twintigtal managers en projectleiders rond de opheffing van hun organisatie. In 2013 viel het politieke besluit om de Dienst Landelijk Gebied op te heffen en de taken van die organisatie te stoppen of over te dragen aan...
