The book is the outcome of the conference titled Textiles and Cult in the Mediterranean Area in the 1st Millennium BC held in Copenhagen in 2013 and organized by the National Museum of Denmark in collaboration with the Centre for Textile Research of the Danish National Research Foundation of the University of Copenhagen. It is part of the Ancient Textiles Series published by the Centre and is edited by two acclaimed scholars in the field, Cecilie Brøns and Marie-Louise Nosch. The aim of the publication is to offer an interdisciplinary analysis of the connection between ancient textiles and cult. Therefore, it includes contributions from different fields that examine ancient textiles from a historical, archaeological and philological perspective. The contributions cover a large chronological period, from the 1st millennium BCE to the Late Antiquity, and an extensive geographical area, from Italy to the Near East. Appartient à la série
"Twenty-four experts from the fields of ancient history, Semitic philology, Assyriology, classical archaeology, and classical philology come together in this volume to explore the role of textiles in ancient religion in Greece, Italy, the Levant and the Near East. Recent scholarship has illustrated how textiles played a large and very important role in the ancient Mediterranean sanctuaries. In Greece, the so-called temple inventories testify to the use of textiles as votive offerings, in particular to female divinities. Furthermore, in several cults, textiles were used to dress the images of different deities. Textiles played an important role in the dress of priests and priestesses, who often wore specific garments designated by particular colours. Clothing regulations in order to enter or participate in certain rituals from several Greek sanctuaries also testify to the importance of dress of ordinary visitors. Textiles were used for the furnishings of the temples, for example in the form of curtains, draperies, wall-hangings, sun-shields, and carpets. This illustrates how the sanctuaries were potential major consumers of textiles; nevertheless, this particular topic has so far not received much attention in modern scholarship. Furthermore, our knowledge of where the textiles consumed in the sanctuaries came from, where they were produced, and by who is extremely limited. Textiles and Cult in the Ancient Mediterranean examines the topics of textile production in sanctuaries, the use of textiles as votive offerings and ritual dress using epigraphy, literary sources, iconography and the archaeological material itself"--Publisher description.
