Download or read book Muslim traders Songhay warriors and the Arma written by Holst, Christian and published by kassel university press GmbH. This book was released on 2016 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks into the interplay between different social groups that existed on the Middle Niger Bend between 1549 to 1660. The groups mainly under scrutiny are Muslim traders and scholars – the “Ulema” and the worldly lords that ran the polities that had laid claim to the region of the Middle Niger Bend; first the Askyas, then the Arma. The changing relationships between these different groups and of individuals within them are analysed within the wider historical background of the rise and fall of the Songhay Empire and the subsequent takeover of the region by the Moroccan Arma that had conquered the heart of the Middle Niger Bend in 1591. This work explores the interaction between the groups through the framework of honour, religion and ancestry and traces the initially successful cooperation between rulers, traders and scholars to its breakdown and the final social disintegration of the Middle Niger Bend.

Download or read book The Arma Christi in Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture written by Lisa H. Cooper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arma Christi, the cluster of objects associated with Christ’s Passion, was one of the most familiar iconographic devices of European medieval and early modern culture. From the weapons used to torment and sacrifice the body of Christ sprang a reliquary tradition that produced active and contemplative devotional practices, complex literary narratives, intense lyric poems, striking visual images, and innovative architectural ornament. This collection displays the fascinating range of intellectual possibilities generated by representations of these medieval ’objects,’ and through the interdisciplinary collaboration of its contributors produces a fresh view of the multiple intersections of the spiritual and the material in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It also includes a new and authoritative critical edition of the Middle English Arma Christi poem known as ’O Vernicle’ that takes account of all twenty surviving manuscripts. The book opens with a substantial introduction that surveys previous scholarship and situates the Arma in their historical and aesthetic contexts. The ten essays that follow explore representative examples of the instruments of the Passion across a broad swath of history, from some of their earliest formulations in late antiquity to their reformulations in early modern Europe. Together, they offer the first large-scale attempt to understand the arma Christi as a unique cultural phenomenon of its own, one that resonated across centuries in multiple languages, genres, and media. The collection directs particular attention to this array of implements as an example of the potency afforded material objects in medieval and early modern culture, from the glittering nails of the Old English poem Elene to the coins of the Middle English poem ’Sir Penny,’ from garments and dice on Irish tomb sculptures to lanterns and ladders in Hieronymus Bosch’s panel painting of St. Christopher, and from the altar of the Sistine Chapel to the printed prayer books of the Reformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." —Ephesians 6:12 In the arid deserts of Arizona, notorious gunslinger Johnny Ringo meets a solitary end, his trusted Colt Peacemaker in hand. Yet when his body is discovered, the gun is nowhere to be found, creating a historical mystery that still remains unsolved. While many have sought the fabled relic, none have come close to finding it. Until now. In the modern day, antique firearms expert Michael Kent is hired by a wealthy and mysterious collector who claims to have the key to unearthing Ringo’s famed revolver. As Michael delves into the gun's dark history, though, he uncovers a chilling pattern of evil stretching back to it’s very creation. Amidst ancient monasteries and forgotten graves, he is finally forced to accept the truth he never thought possible—a curse has been laid upon the Colt, binding it to a cycle of vengeance and death transcending mankind itself. Worse yet, he may be the only one who can stop it. From the dusty trails of the Wild West to the digital highway of the World Wide Web, Arma del Diablo: The Colt of Destiny weaves together a rip-roaring tale of revenge, redemption, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. Can Michael Kent unravel the mystery of the Colt and put an end to it’s malevolent legacy? Or will the curse continue claiming victims, as inevitable and relentless as time itself?
