Description
Summary:In the Iguvine Tables, the ancient city of Gubbio has preserved a ritual tradition going back to remote times. In particular, alternating cletic and prescriptive pans, Tables VI and VII describe a grandiose and complex liturgical ceremony, dedicated to the purification of the entire Iguvine community, that includes at least thirty sacrifices. Through linguistic investigation the main ritual structures will be analysed, forming a sacrificial universe in which each ritual has meaning in itself, and at the same time within the liturgical complex. It will therefore he possible to bring out which conceptions of the holy, and which laws, regulating the relation between the divine and the human, are concretely reflected in this liturgical construction, shown to be a perfect representation of a particular religious ideology.
