For many years it has been recognized that the key to explaining
the production of the Bible lies in understanding the profession,
the practice and the mentality of scribes in the ancient Near East,
classical Greece and the Greco-Roman world. In many ways, however,
the production of the Jewish literary canon, while reflecting wider
practice, constitutes an exception because of its religious
function as the written "word of God", leading in turn to the
veneration of scrolls as sacred and even cultic objects in
themselves. "Writing the Bible" brings together the wide-ranging
study of all major aspects of ancient writing and writers. The
essays cover the dissemination of texts, book and canon formation,
and the social and political effects of writing and of textual
knowledge. Central issues discussed include the status of the
scribe, the nature of 'authorship', the relationship between
copying and redacting, and the relative status of oral and written
knowledge. The writers examined include Ilimilku of Ugarit, the
scribes of ancient Greece, Ben Sira, Galen, Origen and the author
of Pseudo-Clement.

The diagnostic investigation of menstrual dysfunction and sterility
is a routine part of gynaecological practice. Hysteroscopy can
expand the spectrum of diagnostic possibilities. The 2nd revised
edition of this handbook aims to familiarise the gynaecologist with
diagnostical hysteroscopy. About 100 colour plates facilitate the
acquisition of this technique as well as the correct assessment of
findings. The book is conceived for newcomers to hysteroscopy and
should contribute to the further establishment of this method. 2nd

Wir koennen sie mit blossem Auge oder mit Teleskopen uber den

Astronomie und den aktuellen Stand der Planetenforschung. Jedem
astronomischen Kapitel folgt ein Kapitel zu den Mythen der
Goettergestalten, die den Himmelskoerpern ihre Namen geben. Von
Mesopotamien und AEgypten uber die griechisch-roemische Antike bis
zu nordischen und weltweiten Mythen begibt sich der Leser dabei auf

Operative hysteroscopy represents an important extension of
operative gynecology. The benefits of this endoscopic technique,
however, are balanced by its high demands on the operator. It
requires excellent knowledge of safety issues and possible
complications. This book acts as guide and resource for the
practical acquisition of this technique. This new edition is
distinguished by the large number of improved color illustrations
and incorporation of the newest scientific findings.

This book explores the role of the biblical patriarch Abraham in
the formation and use of authoritative texts in the Persian and
Hellenistic periods. It reflects a conference session in 2009
focusing on Abraham as a figure of cultural memory in the
literature of these periods. Cultural memory is the shared
reproduction and recalling of what has been learned and retained.
It also involves transformation and innovation. As a figure of
memory, stories of Abraham served as guidelines for
identity-formation and authoritative illustration of behaviour for
the emerging Jewish communities.
Many women would like to either partly or completely dispense with
their monthly menstruation and its accompanying attributes. Taking
oral hormonal contraceptives (OC) is possible. However, currently
no OC preparation is authorized specifically for this indication in
Germany. In their daily work, gynecologists are often confronted
with questions about this topic: Which preparation can be
recommended? What are the results of tolerance tests? What are the
effects on existing illnesses, e.g. endometriosis, ovarian cysts,
epilepsy? The new gynecological handbook covers active ingredients
recommended for long cycles, provides dosage tables for their
consumption, summarizes the results of scientific research on
long-cycle contraception and deals with special issues and
recommendations involving existing illnesses. This booklet provides
gynecologists with a reliable guide to the subject, giving them
assurance in prescribing preparations, and in monitoring and
handling their patients.

The thesis that the books of Deuteronomy to 2 Kings have undergone
a redaction that made them into a 'Deuteronomistic History' has
become since Martin Noth (1943) a widely accepted idea in Old
Testament scholarship. But there is no consensus when this history
was edited: under Josiah (622 BCE), during the exile (c. 560 BCE)
or even later? And what was the intention of its redactors? Can we
rely on the so-called Deuteronomistic History for the
reconstruction of Israelite history? Or should we give up the
thesis of a Deuteronomic redaction of the Former Prophets? This
volume explores these and many other questions about this key topic
in Old Testament scholarship. It results from a research seminar
organized by the Swiss universities of Fribourg, Geneva, NeuchGtel
and Lausanne. It contains contributions by the following scholars:
R. Albertz, J. Briend, M. Detienne, W. Dietrich, J.J. Glassner, S.
Japhet, E.A. Knauf, A.D.H. Mayes, S.L. McKenzie, S. Pisano, M.
Rose, A. Schenker, F. Smyth, A. de Pury and T. R++mer. Articles in
