| Resumo: | The practice of listing the names of God is widespread in antiquity and is not confined to the monotheistic religions. Classification is a way of imposing order, although such lists of divine attributes may have a wide range of uses. This book is an in-depth study of the way that lists of divine names are used in two Christian texts: the sixth-century Divine Names of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and a thirteenth-century Slavonic amulet, The 72 Names of the Lord. While the first of these has been studied extensively (although not from this aspect), the amulet has barely been studied at all, which is why this is such an intriguing exercise. |
