This workshop, which is part and parcel of a large, multi- year collaboration project involving the University of Alberta and LMU Munich, was held on May 7–11, 2012 in Edmonton. It involved mainly, but not only, scholars in other institutions in Canada and the EU. The papers vividly discussed in this workshop evolved into the revised versions included in this volume. The editors asked a few other col- leagues to write chapters to complement, in terms of scope, those emerging from the volume and the result is this present collection The editors wish to thank the Social Sciences and Humanities Re- search Council of Canada (SSHRC), the Office of the Vice-President International at the University of Alberta, the Faculty of Arts, the Dept. of History and Classics and the Religious Studies Interdisciplinary Pro- gram for the financial and in kind support that they provided for the workshop. Ms. Melanie Marvin (History and Classics, Univ. of Alberta) was the key person for all administrative matters. The editors would like also to acknowledge the volunteer graduate students who took care of some of the practicalities of holding such a workshop. Without their assistance, neither the workshop nor this volume would have seen the light of day. The editors and the contributors would like to thank the editors of BZAW for accepting this volume in the series, de Gruyter for publish- ing this volume, Ms. Melanie Marvin, Ms. Anna Cwikla and Ms. Frie- derike Hoffmann for preparing the volume for publication and Ms. Sabina Dabrowski and Ms. Sophie Wagenhofer (de Gruyter) for her assistance in the final stage.
