Description:
Collectible facsimile reproduction in handmade slipcase.
The Vatopedi Octateuch is one of the most important manuscripts in Byzantine art, due to its wealth of illumination and high artistic quality of its miniatures. The single-column text is very neatly written in black ink in minuscule script, with red-gold titles and many initials. It contains six books from the Octateuch of the Old Testament, beginning with Leviticus, as the first two books, Genesis and Exodus, are missing. At the end are short Greek commentaries on the Hebrew texts, and information on Israel's periods of enslavement. The text is interrupted at folio 468v, and the manuscripts has a later cardboard binding.
The manuscript has 162 miniatures depicting scenes and subjects from the book they illustrate. Some of the miniatures from Leviticus and Numbers have been removed, together with the text on the following page. The scenes, enclosed within a red border, are placed in or next to the text, in areas purposed for illumination. They… Read More

Description:
Les Grecs avaient aussi leurs croyances occultes: parmi elles, on peut compter les Oracles Chaldaiques, attribues d"abord a Julien le Chaldeen, puis a son fils, Julien dit le theurge, contemporain de Marc-Aurele, qui vecut a la fin du IIeme siecle. Heritiers du neoplatonisme, les theurges chaldeens avaient forme un systeme a la fois religieux et philosophique ou l"ame du fidele devait s"arracher au monde sensible des apparences et a son enveloppe corporelle pour approcher la triade du Pere, le nous patrikos , de la puissance et de l"Intellect. Si ces textes eurent une grande influence sur la spiritualite dans l"Antiquite, ils ne nous sont malheureusement pas parvenus dans leur totalite et nous ne les connaissons que par des fragments conserves a la fois par des auteurs paiens et des auteurs chretiens. Notre edition rassemble la totalite de ces fragments, y compris ceux dont l"attribution est douteuse. La notice precedant le texte introduit le lecteur dans ce monde occulte en fournissant de precieux… Read More
