Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Description of the East, and Some Other Countries, Vol. 2: Part I, Observations on Palestine or the Holy Land, Syria, Mesopotamia, Cyprus, and Candia I have inferted maps of the earftern parts, becaufe they commonly give a great pleafure in having recourfe to them, and as they are not always at hand it is very convenient to have them in the book. The Ihape of the land on the fea, I have taken from the belt fea charts lately publifhed by the order of Monfieur Maurepas, and I have endeavoured from other maps, and from my own obfervations, to make them as perfeet as I could in relation both to antient and modern geography. The maps of the Propontis, of the Thracian Bofphorus, and another of the Euxine fea, from 'which the north part of Alia Minor is taken, were procur ed at conptantinople by the Reverend Doctor Thomas Lifle, fellow of Magdalen college _in Oxford, who offered me the ufe of them in the molt obliging manner. I am alfo to make my acknowledgements to the Reverend Mr. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Ireland and the Reception of the Bible written by Bradford A. Anderson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the work of leading figures in biblical, religious, historical, and cultural studies in Ireland and beyond, this volume explores the reception of the Bible in Ireland, focusing on the social and cultural dimensions of such use of the Bible. This includes the transmission of the Bible, the Bible and identity formation, engagement beyond Ireland, and cultural and artistic appropriation of the Bible. The chapters collected here are particularly useful and insightful for those researching the use and reception of the Bible, as well as those with broader interests in social and cultural dimensions of Irish history and Irish studies. The chapters challenge the perception in the minds of many that the Bible is a static book with a fixed place in the world that can be relegated to ecclesial contexts and perhaps academic study. Rather, as this book shows, the role of the Bible in the world is much more complex. Nowhere is this clearer than in Ireland, with its rich and complex religious, cultural, and social history. This volume examines these very issues, highlighting the varied ways in which the Bible has impacted Irish life and society, as well as the ways in which the cultural specificity of Ireland has impacted the use and development of the Bible both in Ireland and further afield.

Download or read book Portraying the Land written by Rehav Rubin and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents and discusses a large corpus of Jewish maps of the Holy Land that were drawn by Jewish scholars from the 11th to the 20th century, and thus fills a significant lacuna both in the history of cartography and in Jewish studies. The maps depict the biblical borders of the Holy Land, the allotments of the tribes, and the forty years of wanderings in the desert. Most of these maps are in Hebrew although there are several in Yiddish, Ladino and in European languages. The book focuses on four aspects: it presents an up-to-date corpus of known maps of various types and genres; it suggests a classification of these maps according to their source, shape and content; it presents and analyses the main topics that were depicted in the maps; and it puts the maps in their historical and cultural contexts, both within the Jewish world and the sphere of European cartography of their time. The book is an innovative contribution to the fields of history of cartography and Jewish studies. It is written for both professional readers and the general public. The Hebrew edition (2014), won the Izhak Ben-Zvi Prize.
