Zodiac of Paris: How an Improbable Controversy over an Ancient Egyptian Artifact Provoked a Modern Debate over Religion and Science
by Buchwald, Jed Z. & Diane Greco Josefowicz
|
| |
| Brought to Paris in 1821 and ultimately installed in the Louvre, the Dendera zodiac -- an ancient bas-relief temple ceiling adorned with mysterious symbols of the stars and planets -- quickly provoked a controversy between scientists and theologians. This fascinating book tells the story of this archaeological find and its unlikely role in the disputes over science and faith in 19th-century France. | | |
