$175.00
The Oneirocriticon of Achmet: A Medieval Greek and Arabic Treatise on the Interpretation of Dreams translated by Steven M. Oberhelman, published in 1991. “Any scholar interested in dreams will be in Oberhelman’s debt. His lucid translation and helpful annotations have brought Achmet away from the private preserve of Byzantinists and into the academic mainstream. His thoughtful introduction not only persuasively argues for Achmet’s relevance, but also provides a modern, theoretically sophisticated introduction to the study of dreams in their historical context. The side connections that he draws between cultures, time periods, and methodologies of study should provide a valuable stimulus for future work”. Hardcover with original dust jacket with light shelfwear to corners and ends of jacket.
