Three volumes in a series exploring belief in the Evil Eye and the practices associated with it amongst the cultures of the Biblical world.In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus of Nazareth makes reference to one of the oldest beliefs in the ancient world - the malignity of an Evil Eye. The Holy Scriptures in their original languages contain no less than twenty-four references to the Evil Eye, although this is obscured by most modern Bible translations. John H. Elliott's Beware the Evil Eye describes this belief and associated practices, its history, its voluminous appearances in ancient cultures, and the extensive research devoted to it over the centuries in order to unravel this enigma for readers who have never heard of the Evil Eye and its presence in the Bible. This is the first of a four-volume work on the Evil Eye.

In Volume 2 of Beware the Evil Eye, John H. Elliott addresses the most extensive sources of Evil Eye belief in antiquity: the cultures of Greece and Rome. In this period, features of the belief found in Mesopotamian and Egyptian sources are expanded to the point where an "Evil Eye belief complex" becomes apparent. This complex of features associated with the Evil Eye - human eye as key organ of information, eye as active not passive, eye as channel of emotion and dispositions, especially envy, arising in the heart, possessors, victims, defensive strategies, and amulets - is essential to an understanding of the literary references to the Evil Eye. Elliott here illuminates the context for examining Evil Eye belief and practice in the Bible and the biblical communities.

In the third volume of his epic exploration of the use of the Evil Eye motif in ancient texts, John H. Elliott turns his attention to biblical writings. A repeated theme in the Old Testament, which contains around twenty explicit references, mentions of the Evil Eye also appear in the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as in the writings of Philo and Josephus. Evil Eye belief and practice continued into the early Jesus movement, appearing not only in the Gospels but in Paul's letter to the Galatians. The Evil Eye in the ancient world acted in a number of ways - physiological, psychological, economic, social and moral - and the place it occupied was not easily usurped. Beware the Evil Eye is a fascinating analysis of one of the most prevalent superstitions in the ancient world and its cultural influence.

The significance of the First Letter of Peter for the formation of Christianity stands in sharp contrast to its brevity. John H. Elliott, a leading authority on this letter, brings its significance to life in this magnificent addition to the renowned Anchor Bible Commentaries. Elliott sets the letter into context, covering its literary, historical, theological, and linguistic elements. In detailed, accessible discussions, he draws on the latest research to illuminate the social and cultural influences on the Church in its initial years. Treating such important Petrine concerns as living honorably in a hostile society, finding meaning in suffering, and resisting social assimilation as the elect and holy family of God, the translation, notes, and commentary in this volume will help readers appreciate the powerful and enduring message of this fascinating letter.

Europe Divided is a fascinating and wide-ranging introduction to a complex age of movement and conflict. Professor Elliott's strong narrative takes account of political, economic and social developments and provides vivid portraits of the leading personalities of the era. The book examines the hard lines of division in late sixteenth-century Europe: between a Protestant North and a Catholic South; between the rich, expanding economy of the West and the harsh poverty of the agrarian East. It was the period that saw the birth of the Dutch Republic; the defeat of the Spanish Armada; the western repulse of the Ottoman Empire; the revival of the papacy and an authoritarian Calvinism. It was also an era of strong political personalities, of Philip II and a powerful Habsburg Spain, of Queen Elizabeth and Catherine de Medici, of Henry IV and Montaigne.Throughout the text, Professor Elliott has been concerned to reveal the complex interaction of events in different parts of the continent, rather than examining regions in isolation. The book therefore conveys the feeling of contemporaries of the era - that they were involved in a great European drama.

This first full-scale study of the Evil Eye in the Bible and the biblical communities has traced in four volumes evidence of Evil Eye belief and practice in the ancient world from Mesopotamia (c. 3000 BCE) to Late Roman Antiquity (c. 600 CE). The fourth and final volume considers the literary and material evidence of the unabated thriving of Evil Eye belief and practice in Israel following the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in 70 CE (chapter 1) and in early Christianity (chapter 2) through Late Antiquity (500-600 CE), with a brief reference to Evil Eye lore in early Islam. Numerous cross-references relate the subject matter of this volume to that of the previous three. A concluding Epilogue (chapter 3) offers some final thoughts on this survey of Evil Eye belief and practice in antiquity and their role in conceptualizing and combatting the pernicious forces of evil in daily life. Beside presenting the first full-scale monograph on the Evil Eye in the Bible and the biblical communities (volumes 3 and 4), the volumes summarize a century of research since the milestone two-volume study of Siegfried Seligmann, Der bose Blick und Verwandtes (1910), and they describe the ecological, historical, social, and cultural contexts within which the biblical texts are best understood. Throughout the study, the Evil Eye in antiquity is treated not as an instance of vulgar superstition or deluded magic, but as a physiological, psychological, and moral phenomenon whose operation was deemed explicable on rational grounds.

The Evil Eye is mentioned repeatedly throughout the Old Testament, Israel''s parabiblical writings, and New Testament, with a variety of terms and expressions. The Old Testament (Greek Septuagint) contains no less than fourteen text segments involving some twenty explicit references to the Evil Eye (Deut 15:9; 28:54, 56; Prov 23:6; 28:22; Tob 4:7, 16; Sir 14:3, 6, 8, 9, 10; 18:18; 31:13; 37:11; Wis 4:12; 4 Macc 1:26; 2:15; Ep Jer 69/70). At least three further texts are also likely implied references to an Evil Eye (1 Sam 2:29, 32; 18:9), with some other texts as more distant possibilities. The Evil Eye is mentioned also in the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the writings of Philo and Josephus--all of which are discussed in the following pages.Evil Eye belief and practice continued in the early Jesus movement. Jesus mentions the Evil Eye on more than one occasion (Matt 6:22-23; Luke 11:33-36; Mark 7:22). Paul makes explicit and implicit mention of the Evil Eye in his letter to the Galatians (3:1; 4:12-20). Possible implicit references to the Evil Eye are also examined. Both the common and the distinctive features of biblical Evil Eye belief are identified, along with its operation on multiple levels (biological/physiological, psychological, economic, social, and moral) and its serving a variety of purposes. The numerous references to the Evil Eye in Israel''s rabbinic writings and those of postbiblical Christianity (second-sixth centuries CE), together with the material evidence from this period, are examined in volume 4.

The Christian theological tradition provides an embarrassment of riches: from Scripture to modern scholarship, we are blessed with a vast and complex theological inheritance. And yet this feast of traditional riches is too frequently inaccessible to the general reader.The Cascade Companions series addresses the challenge by publishing books that combine academic rigor with broad appeal and readability. They aim to introduce nonspecialist readers to that vital storehouse of authors, documents, themes, histories, arguments, and movements that comprise this heritage with brief yet compelling volumes.

La decadencia económica de los imperios es uno de los grandes temas que se han planteado los historiadores: ¿cuáles son las causas de que incluso los imperios más poderosos y brillantes se hundan, reproduciendo el ciclo inevitable de crecimiento, decadencia y muerte de los seres vivos? Este libro demuestra que la razón está lejos de ser única y que cada caso ha de ser analizado en su contexto histórico concreto, pero que existen algunos factores comunes, como pueden ser el crecimiento desmedido del gasto, las tensiones inflacionistas o la resistencia a la innovación. Introducidos por un capítulo teórico de Carlo M. Cipolla (que se ocupa también de la decadencia económica de Italia), se presentan análisis de grandes especialistas que tratan los casos de España (Pierre Vilar y John H. Elliott), Roma (Aurelio Bernardi y M. I. Finley), Bizancio (Charles Diehl), el Imperio Otomano (Bernard Lewis) y Holanda (C. R. Boxer).

La rebelión catalana de 1640 fue un acontecimiento capital en la Europa del siglo XVII. Sus antecedentes y sus causas -uno de los ejes de este magistral y clásico estudio- iluminan extraordinariamente la cuestión, largamente debatida, de la decadencia de España.John H. Elliott perfila con trazo firme el progresivo deterioro de las relaciones entre el Principado de Cataluña y el gobierno de la monarquía en Madrid a lo largo de la primera mitad del siglo XVII. De la feroz represión del bandolerismo catalán a la presión que suponían las nuevas políticas centralizadoras de Olivares, la tensión creciente acabó desembocando en una rebelión que, en última instancia, desempeñó un papel crucial en el declive español. Investigación ejemplar y obra fundamental, La rebelión de los catalanes no solo es una lectura esencial para comprender las razones del declive español sino que constituye, igualmente, un caso paradigmático de la lucha perenne entre las libertades regionales y las necesidades de los gobiernos centrales.La presente edición ha sido revisada en su totalidad e incluye, además, un nuevo prólogo del autor y un estudio de los profesores Pablo Fernández Albaladejo y Julio Pardos Martínez sobre la obra e influencia de J. H. Elliott.

La Europa dividida nos introduce en una compleja época de movimientos y conflictos. La poderosa narrativa de J. H. Elliott detalla los cambios políticos, económicos y sociales y ofrece vívidos retratos de las principales personalidades de la época.Ya consagrado como un clásico, en su segunda edición el libro estudia las duras líneas divisorias que había en la Europa de finales del siglo XVI: entre el norte protestante y el sur católico sin olvidar la brecha entre la rica y próspera economía del oeste y la cruda pobreza del este agrario. Este fue el periodo que presenció el nacimiento de la república holandesa, la derrota de la Armada Invencible, el rechazo occidental del Imperio otomano, el renacimiento del papado y un calvinismo autoritario. También fue una época de fuertes personalidades políticas, de Felipe II y la poderosa España de los Habsburgo, de la reina Isabel I y Catalina de Médicis, de Enrique IV y Montaigne."El volumen de Elliott es, probablemente, uno de los mejores manuales que jamás se han escrito. Estaba basado en un conocimiento extraordinariamente amplio del material publicado, tanto de las fuentes como de la literatura secundaria, lo que le permitió al autor anticipar, hasta un punto inusitado, la dirección que iba a tomar la investigación posterior. "La Europa dividida" también logra transmitir la intensa emoción que se vivió en esas décadas."History"En conjunto éste es un libro fascinante, moldeado desde una perspectiva individual y, al mismo tiempo, fiable en los datos que ofrece. Debe recomendarse a cualquiera que esté interesado en la historia del periodo." Times Literary Supplement

Exhaurides diverses edicions, La revolta catalana, 1598-1640 ha esdevingut un clàssic de la historiografia catalana i europea. Un llibre fonamental per a la història de Catalunya i d''Espanya, fruit d''una recerca documental impressionant, que ens mostra la Catalunya del començament del segle XVII i ens ajuda a entendre els orígens, l''esclat i les conseqüències d''un episodi cabdal de la nostra història: l''enfrontament entre el govern centralista de la monarquia, que veia en les constitucions catalanes un entrebanc molest per a la creació d''un sistema polític que hom volia més eficient, i un país, els habitants del qual defensaven les seues lleis i les seues llibertats nacionals com a garantia de la supervivència d''una comunitat històrica.
