In order to grasp individual religious practices this book seeks to broaden the scope of analysis and include the archaeological remains from the houses at De...
Die Provinztempel AEgyptens von der 0. bis zur 11. Dynastie (2 vols.) (Probleme der AEgyptologie, #30)
by Richard Bussmann

In particular, it explores the feelings that all these things aroused - notions of honor and shame,...
Documents and the History of the Early Islamic World (Islamic History and Civilization, #111)
Historians have long lamented the lack of contemporary documentary sources for the Islamic middle ages and the inhibiting effect this has had on our understanding of this critically important period.

Different chapters explain, with illustrations, the nature of Egyptian...
