https://www.academia.edu/693952/Review_of_S_Iles_Johston_and_P_Struck_eds_Mantik%C3%AA_Studies_in_Ancient_Divination_Leiden_Brill_2005_BMCR_2006_04_10?nav_from=7036a3c8-e296-4879-b601-e207023bf624 The review discusses the volume edited by S. Iles Johnston and P. Struck, which compiles various contributions on the theme of ancient divination. It highlights key arguments presented by Burkert, Graf, Klingshirn, and Johnston, each exploring different facets of divination practices in antiquity, including the role of oracles, kleromancy, and the social implications of divinatory practices. Despite acknowledging the need for further exploration in specific areas, particularly related to Rome, the review commends the organization and overall quality of the collection.
