Hundreds of life-size human limbs made from terracotta, including the remains of at least 125 human hands, testify to the efficacy of the medicine practiced at the Aklepieion, on the hillside north of ancient Corinth. Made as votive gifts to thank the god for a cure, these were among many extraordinary finds made during excavations at the Temple of Asklepios and Lerna spring between 1929 and 1934. As well as providing a helpful guide to the site, this fascinating booklet also offers a unique insight into the work of physicians in the Greek world, and the types of diseases they had to contend w

On April 6 and 7, 1862, at Shiloh a desperate battle between surprised Union forces and attacking Confederates ushered in the carnage that would mark the Civil War. At the Hornet’s Nest, in the Peach Orchard, across Rea’s Field and Hell’s Hollow more than 20,000 men were killed, wounded, or reported missing in the fierce fighting. There were more casualties in two days at Shiloh than in all the previous American wars combined. The Confederacy’s defeat at Shiloh led to the Union occupation of Corinth, Mississippi, a crucial railhead for supplying campai

Corinth’s name, selected from the Bible, was chosen when the township was first incorporated in 1818. Situated perfectly to benefit from the surrounding natural resources, Corinth has a long history as a mill town, processing timber, wool, and grains using the power of the Hudson River. Located at the northern edge of Saratoga County, Corinth has been both a rural agricultural community and an industrial center. It is home to several churches, community organizations, and businesses, as well as one of International Paper’s largest mills, which used the Hudson for both transportatio

This splendid and generously illustrated monograph by Horst Uhr is the first comprehensive study of one of the great individualists in the history of art. Lovis Corinth (1858-1925) has long been recognized as a major figure in German painting, along with Emile Nolde and Max Beckmann. Spanning a tremendously fertile period in European painting, his astonishingly productive career touched on major currents of art in his time, from the nineteenth-century academic tradition to Naturalism, Impressionism, and Expressionism. Corinth was accomplished in several media, includi

This commentary applies an exegetical method informed by both sociological insight and rhetorical analysis to the study of I and 2 Corinthians. The study also analyzes the two letters of Paul in terms of Greco-Roman rhetoric and ancient social conditions and customs to shed fresh light on the context and content of the message.

This book published twenty-five of the papers presented at the December 1996 symposium held in Athens to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the American School of Classical Studies excavations at Ancient Corinth. The papers are intended to illustrate the range in subject matter of the research currently being undertaken by scholars of Ancient Corinth, and their inclusion in one volume will serve as a useful reference work for nonspecialists. Each of the topics, varying widely from Corinthian geology to religious practices to Byzantine pottery, is presented by the acknowledged expert in
