Book Synopsis Dreams and Divination from Byzantium to Baghdad, 400-1000 CE by : Bronwen Neil
Book excerpt: Why did dreams matter to Jews, Byzantine Christians, and Muslims in the first millennium? Bronwen Neil shows how the three faiths took the pagan practice of divining the future from dreams and melded it with their own scriptural traditions to produce a novel and rich culture of dream interpretation.
