Book Synopsis Cities of Splendour in the Shaping of Sephardi History by : Jane S. Gerber
Download or read book Cities of Splendour in the Shaping of Sephardi History written by Jane S. Gerber and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-20 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sephardi identity has meant different things at different times, but has always entailed a connection with Spain, from which the Jews were expelled in 1492. While Sephardi Jews have lived in numerous cities and towns throughout history, certain cities had a greater impact in the shaping of their culture. This book focuses on those that may be considered most important, from Cordoba in the tenth century to Toledo, Venice, Safed, Istanbul, Salonica, and Amsterdam at the dawn of the seventeenth century. Each served as a venue in which a particular dimension of Sephardi Jewry either took shape or was expressed in especially intense form. Significantly, these cities were mostly heterogeneous in their population and culture—half of them under Christian rule and half under Muslim rule—and this too shaped the Sephardi world-view and attitude. While Sephardim cultivated a distinctive identity, they felt at home in the cultures of their adopted lands. Drawing upon a variety of both primary and secondary sources, Jane Gerber demonstrates that Sephardi history and culture have always been multifaceted. Her interdisciplinary approach captures the many contexts in which the life of the Jews from Iberia unfolded, without either romanticizing the past or diluting its reality.

The university offers a window onto the politicized and optimistic discourse of the Sixties and Seventies, but at the same time illuminates contemporary debates around large projects of infrastructure and public space.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accounts of the rise in early modern Europe of new methods of investigating and understanding the natural world have often overlooked the importance of biblical metaphors of knowledgte. Four Old Testament episodes in particular assumed special signifcance in the period: the stories of the Garden of Eden, Noah's Ark, the Tower of Babel, and Solomon's Temple . . . The Garden, the Ark, the Tower, the Temple illustrates the significance of biblical metaphors of knowledge in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries through an examination of contemporary books, bibles and others objects. Particular focus is placed on the circle of authors and projectors which formed in England from the 1630s around the emigre German activist, Samuel Hartlib, as documented in his extensive correspondence and notebooks. -- Book cover.
Book Synopsis The Divorce of Henry VIII by : Catherine Fletcher
Download or read book The Divorce of Henry VIII written by Catherine Fletcher and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2012-06-19 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1533 the English monarch Henry VIII decided to divorce his wife of twenty years Catherine of Aragon in pursuit of a male heir to ensure the Tudor line. He was also head over heels in love with his wife's lady in waiting Anne Boleyn, the future mother of Elizabeth I. But getting his freedom involved a terrific web of intrigue through the enshrined halls of the Vatican that resulted in a religious schism and the formation of the Church of England. Henry's man in Rome was a wily Italian diplomat named Gregorio Casali who drew no limits on skullduggery including kidnapping, bribery and theft to make his king a free man. In this absorbing narrative, winner of the Rome Fellowship prize and University of Durham historian Catherine Fletcher draws on hundreds of previously-unknown Italian archive documents to tell the colorful tale from the inside story inside the Vatican.

Book Synopsis Jewish Inscriptions of Graeco-Roman Egypt by : William Horbury
Download or read book Jewish Inscriptions of Graeco-Roman Egypt written by William Horbury and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-09-24 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book collects all known Jewish inscriptions in Egypt between the third century BC and the sixth century AD. The entry on each inscription provides text, translation, bibliography and commentary. Hitherto, it has been necessary to refer to an older collection (1952, but essentially pre-war) together with a separately published revision (1964), with very limited indexing. Here the aim has been to include inscriptions not in the earlier collection, to bring together the necessary information on each inscription, and to supply full indexing. The inscriptions form a vivid primary source for Jewish history and religion.
