Barbe Et Barbus: Symboliques, Rites Et Pratiques Du Port De La Barbe Dans Le Proche-Orient Ancien Et Moderne (Etudes Genevoises Sur L’Antiquité) (French Edition)

The essays are a demonstration of the complexities inherent in the pilosity of the masculine visage. Ranging from Sumer to ISIS, this collection presents an historic and anthropological approach to the beard in Middle Eastern religious traditions. The twelve contributions cover the ancient Near East, Judaism, and medieval to contemporary Islam.
