Edited by Oren Kroll-Zeldin and Ariella Werden-Greenfield

“Readers of This Is Your Song Too will gain a more nuanced, appreciative understanding of both Jewish and Phish communities, with their deep histories, their varied constituencies, and their rich implications for identity formation—whether readers are insiders to these communities or outsiders looking in with interest.”—Dr. Jnan A.

The Stolen Bones of St. John of Matha

Forgery, Theft, and Sainthood in the Seventeenth Century

A. Katie Harris

“A very well written and argued microhistory that tells us much about how useful saints were within the post-Tridentine period. It also does wider scholarship the service of reminding even scholars who should know better that the history of relics, true and false, did not end with the Middle Ages. Harris has a mastery of the relevant literature in several languages which is both impressive and used to telling effect.”—Simon Ditchfield, University of York, UK

Aromas of Asia

Exchanges, Histories, Threats

Edited by Hannah Gould and Gwyn McClelland

“Aromas of Asia is very much at the cutting edge of the field. Many books on smell engage in a battle with the straw man of ‘smell-as-neglected’ and ‘the West as ocular-centric.’ This book has moved way beyond such simplicities, and through its varied methodologies and diverse topics we emerge with a number of fresh perspectives on smell in Asia.”—James McHugh, author of Sandalwood and Carrion: Smell in Indian Religion and Culture

The Prophet

A Graphic Novel Adaptation

Kahlil Gibran, Script by A. David Lewis, and art by Justin Renterķa

“While hewing close to the original text, Lewis and Rentería fill in the prophet’s backstory through wordless flashbacks, portraying him as a young man caught up in military actions and a romantic betrayal; these narrative flourishes offer fresh angles on Gibran’s words.”—Publishers Weekly
