Description

Indiana University Press, Bloomington / Indianopolis, n.d.(>2000). Paperback. Lower corner a bit foxed and a tiny bit dog's eared. 'In this classic work, Walter Ottto provides not only an authoritative study of the myth and cult of Dionysus, but also a fascinating vision of religion as such. Rejecting psychological and anthropological approaches. Otto sets out to discover the eternal menaing of 'god who is mad'. The result is nothing less than a theology of Dionysus that challenges classicists and historians of religion to take seriously the reality of the human encounter with the divine.' (DAVID BRAKKE, Indiana University).

Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
