The Complete World of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Thames & Hudson 2011, cm.19x25, pp. 84, color and 132 black-and-white illustrations hardcover, dustjacket. With numerous factfiles, reconstructions, scroll photographs, and a wealth of other illustrations, it is the most comprehensive and accessible account available on the Dead Sea Scrolls. Ever since the first scrolls were found in the Judaean desert in 1947, the Dead Sea Scrolls have been the subject of passionate speculation and controversy. The possibility that they might challenge assumptions about ancient Judaism and the origins of Christianity, coupled with the extremely limited access imposed for many years, only fueled debate on their meanings. With all the scrolls now available in translation, conclusions can be drawn as to the authorship and origins, their implications for Christianity and Judaism, and their link with the ancient site of Qumran. This book, written by three noted scholars in the field, draws together all the evidence to present a fully illustrated survey of every major manuscript.

Die Schriftrollen von Qumran - über 800 Dokumente aus elf verschiedenen Höhlen der judäischen Wüste - sind in den vergangenen Jahren immer wieder Gegenstand von Verschwörungstheorien gewesen. Jetzt legen erstmals drei führende Qumran-Forscher die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungsergebnisse einer breiten Öffentlichkeit vor. Sie erläutern nicht nur die Bedeutung der Schriftrollen für die komplexe Entwicklungsgeschichte der Hebräischen Bibel, sondern erwecken für die Leser in spannenden Textenund faszinierenden Bildern auch die Welt der Bewohner von Qumran wieder zum Leben.

Paris, Flammarion 1996, cm.11x18, pp.127,(1), alcune ill. in bn. e a col.nt., brossura, cop.fig. Collection Dominos,109. Souvent décrit comme un humanisme spirituel fondé sur la moralité, la méditation et la sagesse, le bouddhisme se veut religion universelle de salut. Pour Bernard Faure, professeur d'histoire des religions asiatiques, le bouddhisme a su s'adapter aux cultures locales et s'y enraciner, devenant ainsi irréductiblement un et multiple.

Firenze, Aurora Boreale 2020, cm.14,8x21, pp.306, brossura copertina figurata a colori. Collana I Simboli Eloquenti. Ricerca di Dio e labirinto del mondo indaga il fenomeno religioso su due piani che in parte si intersecano: vale a dire sia attraverso i dogmi di ogni monoteismo, culminanti secondo Marchisio nella teologia della Chiesa ortodossa, sia mettendo in rilievo la povertà disarmante dei tentativi di sminuire, deridere e annientare la fede che si sono succeduti senza sosta dall'inizio dell'età moderna. «Poiché questo libro è anche, seppure indirettamente, una sorta di autobiografia spirituale, non posso lasciarne in ombra l'intento principale: mettere in guardia il lettore sulla cancrena ammantata di filosofemi che da alcuni secoli infesta l'anima di molti, troppi schiavi del Signore delle mosche. Su tutto il resto è invece come sempre lecito - e talvolta addirittura proficuo - discutere e ridiscutere, fino a notte fonda» (Mario Marchisio).
