Professor David Pugsley is a man of many talents as well as a paradox. Although he may appear to some to be typically English, this is to overlook his cosmopolitan side. David Pugsley is a well known English Romanist and comparative lawyer who taught for many years at Exeter University, as well as in many other places in the world. In this book, specially dedicated to him, his friends and colleagues pay tribute through a series of papers on comparative law and the history of law. Le Professeur David Pugsley, homme aux multiples talents, incarne un paradoxe. Pur produit de l’intelligentia britannique, de prime abord, on le découvre farouchement cosmopolite. David Pugsley est bien connu comme un spécialiste anglais du droit romain; il est aussi un juriste renommé en droit comparé. Il a enseigné durant de nombreuses années à l’Université d’Exeter, ainsi qu’en de nombreux endroits dans le monde. Dans cet ouvrage, ses amis et collègues lui rendent hommage, au travers d’une série de contributions dans les domaines du droit comparé et de l’histoire du droit qui lui sont particulièrement chers.

The study of Egypt as the fount of all wisdom and stronghold of hermetic lore, already strong in antiquity, Hornung (Egyptology, U. of Basel) calls Egyptosophy. Though it was soundly rebuffed by Egyptology, based on conventional science and history, he thinks its continuing impact on western culture deserves scholarly attention. He reviews the various occult traditions and their expression during various eras. The original Esoterische Agypten was published by C. H. Beck'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, Munich, in 1999, and translated by David Lorton, who has also translated Hornung's earlier books for Cornell. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
