Book Description
Excerpt from Rivista Degli Studi Orientali, 1907, Vol. 1: Pubblicata a Cura dei Professori della Scuola Orientale nella R. Universita di Roma; Anno 1 Fra i codici etiopici di Londra gia descritti nel Catalogo del Dillmann ve ne ha uno che contiene dei brevi testi in lingua amarica, i quali narrano leggende relative alla storia di Abissinia. I detti testi ricorrono altresi, sebbene in forma alquanto diversa, in due codici della Biblioteca Nazionale di Parigi che sono descritti nel Catalogo 2 sotto il titolo di Quel ques traite's d'histoire. Per la maggior parte di essi una tale designazione e troppo onorifica; si tratta di leggende popo lari, con qualche fondamento storico, e vero, ma ben lontane dal meritare il nome di Trattati di storia. Senonche cio non toglie punto o diminuisce il valore loro, o sia per la forma o sia per il contenuto. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Monastic Visions
Author: Elizabeth S. BolmanPublisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300092245
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
The book reproduces the cleaned paintings for the first time. It also describes and analyzes their amalgam of Coptic (Egyptian Christian), Byzantine, and Arab styles and motifs as well as the religious culture to which they belong. In 1996, funded by the United States Agency for International Development and at the request of the Monastery of St. Antony, the Antiquities Development Project of the American Research Center in Egypt began the conservation of the paintings in the church. The paintings revealed by the conservators are of extremely high quality, both stylistically and conceptually. While rooted in the Christian tradition of Egypt, they also reveal explicit connections with Byzantine and Islamic art of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Some newly discovered paintings can even be dated back to the sixth or seventh century.
The Caliph and the Imam
Author: Toby MatthiesenPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019252920X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 961
Book Description
The authoritative account of the sectarian division that for centuries has shaped events in the Middle East and the Islamic world. In 632, soon after the prophet Muhammad died, a struggle broke out among his followers as to who would succeed him. The majority argued that the new leader of Islam should be elected by the community's elite. Others believed only members of Muhammad's family could lead. This dispute over who should guide Muslims, the appointed Caliph or the bloodline Imam, marks the origin of the Sunni-Shii split in Islam. Toby Matthiesen explores this hugely significant division from its origins to the present day. Moving chronologically, his book sheds light on the many ways that it has shaped the Islamic world, outlining how over the centuries Sunnism and Shiism became Islams two main branches, particularly after the Muslim Empires embraced sectarian identity. It reveals how colonial rule institutionalised divisions between Sunnism and Shiism both on the Indian subcontinent and in the greater Middle East, giving rise to pan-Islamic resistance and Sunni and Shii revivalism. It then focuses on the fall-out from the 1979 revolution in Iran and the US-led military intervention in Iraq. As Matthiesen shows, however, though Sunnism and Shiism have had a long and antagonistic history, most Muslims have led lives characterised by confessional ambiguity and peaceful co-existence. Tensions arise when sectarian identity becomes linked to politics. Based on a synthesis of decades of scholarship in numerous languages, The Caliph and the Imam will become the standard text for readers looking for a deeper understanding of contemporary sectarian conflict and its historical roots.

Islam
Author: Henri LammensPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134536992
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
In this book, originally published in 1929, Lammens is primarily concerned with the problem of Mohammad’s personality and prophetic career – one of the central issues of Islamic history. He argues that Mohammad’s career must be considered within the context of the urban and mercantile society of seventeenth century Mecca and rejects the idea that Islam was principally the creation of a nomadic environment.
