Download or read book From Mass Conversion to Expulsion written by Nadia Zeldes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the events that marked the last decades of Jewish presence in the kingdom of Naples from 1492 to 1541. It employs a comparative approach in the examination of the mass conversion of the Jews in the Kingdom of Naples in 1495, the failed attempt to establish a Spanish‐style inquisition, and the expulsions of 1510 and 1541. By relying on a variety of sources, including Hebrew literary works and rabbinic Responsa, this study sheds new light on the reception of the refugees of 1492, the evolvement of the political and military crisis of 1495, the attacks on the Jewish communities, and Jewish reaction, all aspects that have never before been subject to systematic analysis. The Spanish victory of 1503 and the transformation of southern Italy into a Spanish‐ruled dominion bring this discussion closer to the Iberian model of mass conversions and expulsions. The unprecedented expulsion of the New Christians along with the Jews offers a unique opportunity for drawing a parallel with the much later expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain. By highlighting these aspects, this book offers insights for understanding the larger issues of the integration of refugees and rejection of minority groups, questions that are as relevant to present concerns and politics as they were on the eve of the modern era.

Download or read book Irenaeus of Sirmium and His Story in the Medieval East and West written by Marijana Vukoviac and published by . This book was released on 2023-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dozens of holy names appeared on a map since people started caring about saints and their cults in late antiquity until the high Middle Ages. Some had long-lasting and significant cults that transpired cultures, languages, and continents. Others did not. When a need appeared to organize saints in a systematic order as their numbers grew, more prominent saints tended to force out "less known" saints. What has happened, due to this, with the hagiographies of those "lesser" saints? What has happened with their cults? This book discusses a "lesser" saint, Irenaeus, who suffered martyrdom in 304 CE in Sirmium, Pannonia. His short-lived late antique cult in Sirmium, the unstable feast day in calendars, and an anonymous text about his martyrdom, translated into five languages (Latin, Greek, Old Slavonic, Georgian, and Armenian), did not help maintain his memory. The saint was eventually abandoned in the Middle Ages, yet, in some parts of Christendom faster than in others. The book examines the mechanisms of saintly memory and forgetting and demonstrates that the unsynchronized links among cults, calendars, and texts about saints lead to their suppression and forgetting; from "lesser," saints ultimately become "forgotten." The book is primarily intended for academic audiences and specialists in medieval hagiography, literature, and history, for scholars of the Western Middle Ages, Byzantium, and the Slavic world, as well as general readers attentive to the phenomenon of sainthood and martyrdom, particularly in specific medieval contexts"--

Download or read book Pannonia and Upper Moesia Routledge Revivals written by András Mócsy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Pannonia and Upper Moesia, first published 1974, András Mócsy surveys the Middle Danube Provinces from the latest pre-Roman Iron Age up to the beginning of the Great Migrations. His primary concern is to develop a general synthesis of the archaeological and historical researches in the Danube Basin, which lead to a more detailed knowledge of the Roman culture of the area. The economic and social development, town and country life, culture and religion in the Provinces are all investigated, and the local background of the so-called Illyrian Predominance during the third century crisis of the Roman Empire is explained, as is the eventual breakdown of Danubian Romanisation. This volume will appeal to students and teachers of archaeology alike, as well as to those interested in the Roman Empire – not only the history of Rome itself, but also of the far-flung areas which together comprised the Empire’s frontier for centuries.

Download or read book The Battle for the Keys written by Justin Bass and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-04-07 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a lack of serious historical investigation of the famous creedal statement 'Christ descended into hell' that was universally affirmed by the church for the first 1500 years of Church history. This unique book is an in-depth investigation of the history of the doctrine of Christ's descent and how Revelation 1:18 alludes to that significant doctrine. The author demonstrates a real passion and a rigorous argument for Christ's triumphal descent into the underworld in order that he would 'fill all things' (Eph 4:10).

Download or read book A New History of Early Christianity written by Charles Freeman and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tracing the astonishing transformation that the early Christian church underwent - from sporadic niches of Christian communities surviving in the wake of a horrific crucifixion to sanctioned alliance with the state - Charles Freeman shows how freedom of thought was curtailed by the development of the concept of faith. The imposition of 'correct belief' and an institutional framework that enforced orthodoxy were both consolidating and stifling. Uncovering the church's relationships with Judaism, Gnosticism, Greek philosophy and Greco-Roman society, Freeman offers dramatic new accounts of Paul, the resurrection, and the church fathers and emperors."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Expositions of the Psalms 1 32 Vol 1 written by Saint Augustine (of Hippo) and published by New City Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the psalms are a microcosm of the Old Testament, so the Expositions of the Psalms can be seen as a microcosm of Augustinian thought. In the Book of Psalms are to be found the history of the people of Israel, the theology and spirituality of the Old Covenant, and a treasury of human experience expressed in prayer and poetry. So too does the work of expounding the psalms recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustine's personal life, his theological reflections and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo."--Publisher's website.
