Description

The ten studies in this book explore the phenomenon of public memory in societies of the Graeco-Roman period. Mendels begins with a concise discussion of the historical canon that emerged in Late Antiquity and brought with it the (distorted) memory of ancient history in Western culture. The following nine chapters each focus on a different source of collective memory in order to demonstrate the patchy and incomplete associations ancient societies had with their past, including discussions of Plato's Politeia, a "site of memory" of the early church, and the dichotomy existing between the reality of the land of Israel in the Second Temple period and memories of it.Throughout the book, Mendels shows that since the societies of Antiquity had associations with only bits and pieces of their past, these associations could be slippery and problematic, constantly changing, multiplying and submerging. Memories, true and false, oral and inscribed, provide good evidence for this fluidity. Review '...Mendels explores an important methodological path not often trodden by scholars in our field and shows its potential...reading the volume will certainly cause anyone who is open or interested in the approach advanced here to think about its potential applications to her or his preferred areas of research and to the horizons that it opens.--Sanford Lakoff "Rbl "'Chapter one is an important essay on historical thinking in ancient times.' International Review of Biblical Studies, vol 51, 2004/05 About the Author Doron Mendels is Max and Sophie Mydans Professor in the Humanities at the Department of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. His recent publications include: Identity, Religion and Historiography and The Media Revolution of Early Christianity.
