Book Synopsis De Brief van Aristeas by : Apostel Arne Horn
Download or read book De Brief van Aristeas written by Apostel Arne Horn and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-03-22 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De Brief van Aristeas is een geschrift uit de tweede eeuw voor het begin van onze jaartelling. Het is geschreven in het Grieks door een Jood uit de Joodse gemeenschap in Alexandrië in Egypte. Anders dan de naam doet vermoeden, gaat het vermoedelijk niet om een echte brief, maar is de briefstijl louter een literaire vorm. De Brief van Aristeas is vooral bekend geworden vanwege de legende die het bevat over het ontstaan van de Septuagint. De Egyptische koning Ptolemaeus II Philadelphus zou een vertaling van de Tenach in zijn groeiende bibliotheek willen hebben. Daartoe liet hij zeventig (of tweeën-zeventig) Joodse geleerden vanuit Jeruzalem naar Alexandrië komen, alwaar hij hen in aparte ruimten opsloot op het eiland Pharos, voor de kust van Alexandrië.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kleine inhoud eerste Hoofdstuk;Ezra (priester)Ezra (Hebreeuws: עֶזְרָא, Grieks: Ἔσδρας; Latijn: Esdras) was een priester in de geslachtslijn van Eleazar en Pinehas. Alles wat we weten over Ezra staat in Ezra hoofdstuk 7 tot en met 10 en Nehemia hoofdstuk 8. Over Ezra's vroege leven worden in de Bijbel geen bijzonderheden vermeld. Hij woonde in Babylon. Hij stamde uit een familie van hogepriesters en wordt "de zoon van Seraja" genoemd. "Ezra was een schrijver, goed onderlegd in de wet van Mozes, de wet die de HEER, de God van Israël, heeft gegeven, en hij werd door de HEER, zijn God, beschermd, waardoor de koning hem alles toestond wat hij verlangde." Ezra wordt zeer gerespecteerd in de joodse traditie. Zijn kennis van de Thora wordt geacht gelijk te zijn aan die van Mozes. Net zoals Mozes, Henoch, en David, krijgt Ezra de titel van "Schriftgeleerde" en wordt in de joodse traditie omschreven als "Schriftgeleerde Ezra" (Hebreeuws: עזרא הסופר (Ezra ha-Sofer))........
Book Synopsis Transformations in the Septuagint by : Theo A. W. van der Louw
Download or read book Transformations in the Septuagint written by Theo A. W. van der Louw and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study inaugurates interaction between Septuagint research and Translation Studies. From the field of Translation Studies the author has singled out approaches suited to LXX-research. The historical survey of views of translation in Antiquity reveals that among Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Jews similar disputes about language and translatability existed. Three Septuagint-chapters, Genesis 2, Isaiah 1 and Proverbs 6, are analysed in-depth, whereby the transformations ('shifts') are categorised with help of linguistic Translation Studies. Before ascribing 'deviations' either to the translator's ideology or to a variant in the Hebrew parent text, we must ascertain that the 'deviation' does not have a purely translational origin. Every transformation has a reason, and by categorizing the reasons behind all transformations one can trace the translational hierarchy that (un)consciously guided the translator. The rationale behind a transformation can be detected by analysing the literal alternative which the translator rejected. The conclusions of this study are of importance for Translation Studies, Classical Studies and Theology.
Book Synopsis The Hermetic Link by : Jacob Slavenburg
Download or read book The Hermetic Link written by Jacob Slavenburg and published by Nicolas-Hays, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hermes is the Greek god of the Word, of thought and magic, the swift-moving messenger of the Divine and guardian of souls in the Afterlife. In Ancient Egypt he was the majestic god Thoth, the Recorder, the lord of measurement and science, the brother/husband of Isis. In Rome, he was of course Mercury, flying through the Empyrean at the speed of idea by the aid of his winged helmet and boots. In this broad survey of the Hermetic arts, author Jacob Slavenburg brings an unparalleled depth of insight to the subject. He examines the historical Hermetic literature and details its relevance to modern occultism, from the symbolism of architecture and art to the mysteries of Freemasonry. The heavenly mysteries of astrology are explored as are the healing arts which derive from the spirit of scientific inquiry embodied by Thoth/Hermes. Slavenburg examines the magical writings of the Greek papyri and their development into the contemporary magical practices of modern adepts. He sheds light on the workings of alchemy and the esoteric philosophy to the world of modern chemistry and physics. He explores the origin of evil and the realm of the afterlife, and the Hermetic doctrines of reincarnation and karma. In addition, the author provides a wealth of biographical data on the magi of Hermeticsm, from Ficino to Agrippa, John Dee to Giordano Bruno.
Book Synopsis The Tradition of Hermes Trismegistus by : Christian H. Bull
Download or read book The Tradition of Hermes Trismegistus written by Christian H. Bull and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-09-24 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Tradition of Hermes Trismegistus, Christian H. Bull argues that the treatises attributed to Hermes Trismegistus reflect the spiritual exercises and ritual practices of loosely organized brotherhoods in Egypt. These small groups were directed by Egyptian priests educated in the traditional lore of the temples, but also conversant with Greek philosophy. Such priests, who were increasingly dispossessed with the gradual demise of the Egyptian temples, could find eager adherents among a Greek-speaking audience seeking for the wisdom of the Egyptian Hermes, who was widely considered to be an important source for the philosophies of Pythagoras and Plato. The volume contains a comprehensive analysis of the myths of Hermes Trismegistus, a reevaluation of the Way of Hermes, and a contextualization of this ritual tradition.
Book Synopsis The Egyptian Hermes by : Garth Fowden
Download or read book The Egyptian Hermes written by Garth Fowden and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1993-06-21 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sage, scientist, and sorcerer, Hermes Trismegistus was the culture-hero of Hellenistic and Roman Egypt. A human (according to some) who had lived about the time of Moses, but now indisputably a god, he was credited with the authorship of numerous books on magic and the supernatural, alchemy, astrology, theology, and philosophy. Until the early seventeenth century, few doubted the attribution. Even when unmasked, Hermes remained a byword for the arcane. Historians of ancient philosophy have puzzled much over the origins of his mystical teachings; but this is the first investigation of the Hermetic milieu by a social historian. Starting from the complex fusions and tensions that molded Graeco-Egyptian culture, and in particular Hermetism, during the centuries after Alexander, Garth Fowden goes on to argue that the technical and philosophical Hermetica, apparently so different, might be seen as aspects of a single "way of Hermes." This assumption that philosophy and religion, even cult, bring one eventually to the same goal was typically late antique, and guaranteed the Hermetica a far-flung readership, even among Christians. The focus and conclusion of this study is an assault on the problem of the social milieu of Hermetism.

Book Synopsis Shamanic Wisdom in the Pyramid Texts by : Jeremy Naydler
Download or read book Shamanic Wisdom in the Pyramid Texts written by Jeremy Naydler and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-12-09 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A radical reinterpretation of the Pyramid Texts as shamanic mystical wisdom rather than funerary rituals • Reveals the mystical nature of Egyptian civilization denied by orthodox Egyptologists • Examines the similarity between the pharaoh’s afterlife voyage and shamanic journeying • Shows shamanism to be the foundation of the Egyptian mystical tradition To the Greek philosophers and other peoples of the ancient world, Egypt was regarded as the home of a profound mystical wisdom. While there are many today who still share that view, the consensus of most Egyptologists is that no evidence exists that Egypt possessed any mystical tradition whatsoever. Jeremy Naydler’s radical reinterpretation of the Pyramid Texts--the earliest body of religious literature to have survived from ancient Egypt--places these documents into the ritual context in which they belong. Until now, the Pyramid Texts have been viewed primarily as royal funerary texts that were used in the liturgy of the dead pharaoh or to aid him in his afterlife journey. This emphasis on funerary interpretation has served only to externalize what were actually experiences of the living, not the dead, king. In order to understand the character and significance of the extreme psychological states the pharaoh experienced--states often involving perilous encounters with alternate realities--we need to approach them as spiritual and religious phenomena that reveal the extraordinary possibilities of human consciousness. It is the shamanic spiritual tradition, argues Naydler, that is the undercurrent of the Pyramid Texts and that holds the key to understanding both the true nature of these experiences and the basis of ancient Egyptian mysticism.

Book Synopsis Die verhaal van die Griekse Taal oor 35 Eeue heen by : Gerrit van Wyk Kruger
Download or read book Die verhaal van die Griekse Taal oor 35 Eeue heen written by Gerrit van Wyk Kruger and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vir die eerste keer in Afrikaans (die jongste Westerse taal wat in die afgelope eeu reeds sy eie unieke letterkunde geskep het) word die verhaal van Grieks vertel, die oudste Westerse taal waarin feitlik al die bekende literere genres hul weergalose vorm en gestalte gekry het. Hoewel hierdie publikasie basies linguisties van aard is, poog die skrywer om die dramatis personae self ook aan die woord te stel in plaas van om net in taalkundige jargon te verval. Om 'n werk soos hierdie saam te stel, vereis kundigheid in verskeie vaksubgebiede wat begin by oer-Grieks in sy sillabiese lynskriffases A en B. Die Grieks van die Goue Era van Perikles se Athene (circa 500 v.C.) is die bekendste. Min mense besef egter dat Homeros bedrieglik pre-klassiek is. Die klassieke Griek kon sy twee groot eposse (die Ilias en die Odusseia) nie sonder meer vlot lees nie. Dit was hulle Chaucer en Shakespeare. Die Griekse NT is sekerlik die belangrikste dokument wat ooit in Grieks opgestel is, hoewel dit stilisties nie naastenby die beste is nie. Vir sy bespreking van veral die semantiek van Moderne Grieks gebruik die skrywer hier vir die eerste keer dr. Philip Nicolaides se uitvoerige Grieks-Afrikaanse Woordeboek van 843 foliogrootte bladsye. Dis teen die middel van die vorige eeu opgestel, maar is nooit gepubliseer nie. Gerrit Kruger besit vandag die enigste (oorspronklike) kopie daarvan.
Book Synopsis The First Bible of the Church by : Mogens Müller
Download or read book The First Bible of the Church written by Mogens Müller and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1996-05-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Bible of the Church describes of the shape of the Jewish Bible at the time of the New Testament, with a special focus on the significance of the Greek translation, the Septuagint. The Jewish defence of the Septuagint version and its reception into the early Church makes it a representative of the Jewish Bible tradition fully on a par with the Hebrew Bible. This fact is especially important because the Septuagint is extensively used in the New Testament writings, whereby it-and not the Hebrew Bible (the Masoretic text)-is the most obvious candidate for the title of the first Bible of the Church.
Book Synopsis Isaiah in Context by : Michaël van der Meer
Download or read book Isaiah in Context written by Michaël van der Meer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-05-31 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume contains a collection of essays on the Book of Isaiah offered as a tribute to Arie van der Kooij on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday, which coincides with his retirement as Professor of Old Testament at Leiden University. The twenty-four contributions, written by leading scholars in the field of Old Testament studies, focus on the Book of Isaiah within the context of Hebrew and ancient near-eastern writings, particularly those from the Neo-Assyrian period, as well as on the book's reception history , particularly in its Greek and Syriac translations. Together these studies offer a rich and original contribution to the study of the Book of Isaiah in its Hebrew, Aramaic, Assyrian, Greek, Syriac, and Dutch contexts.
