This volume is a first attempt to investigate the impact of urban
space on prayers and related religious thought and belief in
ancient religions from the first to the sixth century CE. Taking
its lead from the spatial turn in scholarship, methodologically it
is an attempt to replace the hitherto customary focus on the forms
and semantics of prayer with an urban-spatial model. This model
understands prayers as performances that are embedded and embodied
in urban space as well as texts producing and inspired by
imaginations of space. To allow for a broader comparison, this
volume covers prayers and spaces of various religions all over the
ancient Mediterranean, from Roman and North African polytheisms
through early Christianity to Byzantine Christianity and early
Islam.
