Download or read book Liddell and Scott written by Christopher Stray and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek-English Lexicon of Liddell and Scott is one of the most famous dictionaries in the world, and for the past century-and-a-half has been a constant and indispensable presence in teaching, learning, and research on ancient Greek throughout the English-speaking world and beyond. Despite continuous modification and updating, it is still recognizably a Victorian creation; at the same time, however, it carries undiminished authority both for its account of the Greek language and for its system of organizing and presenting linguistic data. The present volume brings together essays by twenty-two scholars on all aspects of the history, constitution, and problematics of this extraordinary work, enabling the reader both to understand its complex history and to appreciate it as a monument to the challenges and pitfalls of classical scholarship. The contributors have combined a variety of approaches and methodologies - historical, philological, theoretical - in order to situate the book within the various disciplines to which it is relevant, from semantics, lexicography, and historical linguistics, to literary theory, Victorian studies, and the history of the book. Paying tribute to the Lexicon's enormous effect on the evolving theory and practice of lexicography, it also includes a section looking forward to new developments in dictionary-making in the digital age, bringing comprehensively up to date the question of what the future holds for this fascinating and perplexing monument to the challenges of understanding an ancient language.
Download or read book A History of New Testament Lexicography written by John A. L. Lee and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Testament lexicons of today are comprehensive, up-to-date, and authoritative. Behind them lies a tradition dating back to the sixteenth century, whose characteristics are not well known. Besides giving a history of this tradition, A History of New Testament Lexicography demonstrates its less satisfactory features, notably its dependence on predecessors, the influence of translations, and its methodological shortcomings. John A. L. Lee not only criticizes the existing tradition, but stimulates thought on new goals that New Testament lexicography needs to set for itself in the twenty-first century. This book caters to the non-specialist as well as those interested in philological detail.

Download or read book Thus Burst Hippocrene written by Laurence Wong and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thus Burst Hippocrene: Studies in the Olympian Imagination is a collection of nine papers in comparative literature. Discussing the greatest Olympians in world literature, including Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Dante, Shakespeare, Milton, Li Bo, Du Fu, and the Bible authors, it is both daring in conception and wide-ranging in scope. Freely drawing on the author’s knowledge of Classical Greek, Latin, Italian, French, German, Spanish, English, and Chinese as well as on his conversance with the literatures of these languages, the papers are truly comparative, making discoveries unique to the author’s characteristic multi-lingual, multi-cultural approach. In going through the book, the reader will be pleasantly surprised by its originality, by its amazing depth and breadth, and by the new light it sheds on topics that are of interest to scholars and students of comparative literature. Written in lucid language with no pretentious jargon, it will also appeal to the general reader who picks up a book simply for the joy of reading or for horizon-broadening without tears.

Download or read book A New Reading of the Animal Apocalypse of 1 Enoch written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Reading of the Animal Apocalypse of 1 Enoch is the most comprehensive theological commentary on this important second-century BCE Jewish apocalypse to date, laying out the purpose and methodology of this Enochic allegory and using this as the basis for a new commentary on the whole text, presented here in a fresh translation. Against other interpretations that focus on Israel and its institution, Daniel Olson argues that the promise of universal blessing in the Abrahamic covenant is presented in the Animal Apocalypse as the governing dynamic in a sacred history that begins and ends with humanity in general. The authentic Jacob/Israel will appear in the end times and be the catalyst of universal salvation. Book jacket.

Download or read book Unity and Obedient Discipleship in the Gospel of John written by Dr. James B. Joseph and published by IJSP Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-18 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unity and Obedient Discipleship in the Gospel of John is an in-depth study companion to The Ultimate Victory: Becoming a Follower of Jesus, chapter 5. It can also be read as a stand alone exegetical study of John 17:20-23. Keep in mind that it is easy to read into the Bible what is already part of a person’s experiences and understanding of the world around them. But, in reality, in order to understand Scripture properly, one should first understand how a passage would have been understood by its original audiences and then considered regarding contemporary application. The Gospel of John was written for a first-century Mediterranean world and this book looks at the Gospel of John from this perspective. It is my prayer that many will read this book with its focus on John and in particular John 17:20-23 in order to understand more fully how John’s “Good News” proclamation would have been initially understood in the first-century Mediterranean world, and thereby gain a clearer perspective on the heart of God’s Gospel message, which will in-turn stimulate many to seek that which God desires for all of His obedient children: a vibrant life now as part of His eternal close-knit holy family and eternal perfection in the near future within His holy family within the renewed heavens and earth. In addition, I pray that after working through this in-depth study, if you have not considered the historical-cultural and literary context along with the grammar of passages in the past, you will do so in the future as you continue to study and grow in God’s Word. Ultimately, I pray that this book will stimulate many to seek God’s enlightenment and empowerment in order to realize more fully His desired godly unity for His obedient children among all of the universal Church. Let’s all work together more fully in the coming years helping many come to know God and His ways more fully, which will in-turn help those who listen realize God’s more abundant life. In Jesus' Service, Brother James

Download or read book Second Enoch A Samaritan Apocalypse written by Daniel C. Olson and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-10-14 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study marks a bold new departure in 2 Enoch studies. The book has long been regarded as one of the most baffling apocalypses to come down to us from antiquity. The present work argues that 2 Enoch was written by a 1st c. CE Samaritan author whose purpose was to incorporate the Enochic tradition into Samaritanism. By identifying Enoch as the “prophet like Moses” (Deut. 18:15, 18), both during his earthly past and in the eschatological future, the author of 2 Enoch hoped to combat the Dosithean heresy and also to persuade co-religionists to resume a full sacrificial cultus in the shadow of Mt. Gerizim.

Download or read book Healing Manuals from Ottoman and Modern Greece written by Steven M. Oberhelman and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-07-06 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of three iatrosofia (the notebooks of traditional healers) from the Ottoman and modern periods of Greece. The main text is a collection of the medical recipes of the monk Gymnasios Lauriōtis (b. 1858). Gymnasios had a working knowledge of over 2,000 plants and their use in medical treatments. Two earlier iatrosofia are used for parallels for Gymnasios’s recipes. One was written c. 1800 by a practical doctor near Khania, Crete, and illustrated by a second hand. The second iatrosofion dates to the sixteenth century; ascribed to a Meletios, the text survives in the Codex Vindobonensis gr. med. 53. The contents of these and other iatrosofia are predominantly medical, with many of the remedies taken from folk medicine, classical and Hellenistic pharmacological writers, and Galen. The book opens with a biography of the monk Gymnasios and his recipes and then a description of the Cretan and Meletios iatrosofia. The iatrosophia, their role in Greek medical history, and the methods of healing are the subject of chapter 2. The Greek text of Gymnasios’s recipes are accompanied by a facing English translation. A commentary offers for each of Gymnasios’s recipes passages (translated into English) from the two other iatrosophia to serve as parallels, as well as an analysis of the pharmacopoeia in the medical texts. The book concludes with Greek and English indices of the material medica (plants, mineral, and animal substances) and the diseases, and then a general index.
