Title: Hidden Futures: Death and Immortality in Ancient Egypt, Anatolia, the Classical, Biblical and Arabic-Islamic World
Description: Amsterdam, Amsterdam Univ Press, 1994. 253 pp. Very good copy. Paperback. This volume of essays grew out of a symposium held in December 1992 at the University of Amsterdam and organised by the Institute for Mediterranean Studies. After four general articles concerning the views on death and immortality held in Ancient Egypt, Hittite Anatolia, Homeric and Classical Greece, and Israel in Biblical times, some of the cultures not yet represented are dealt with in the other sections: Rome and Italy in the literary and archaeological sections, and the Arabic-Islamic world in the literary and philosophical sections. All papers conclude with bibliographies and there is a subject index to the book as a whole. ISBN: 9789053560785
