Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The libro de los buenos proverbios, a key work in the medieval didactic tradition, is presented here for the first time in a western translation. The proverbs were assembled by the great ninth-century physician, translator, and author, Hunain ibn Ishaq. Harlan G. Sturm provides an excellent introduction to his translation of the Buenos Proverbios which deals with the book's role in medieval proverbial literature and with the life and significance of Hunain ibn Ishaq, whose influence in his own period was significant. Hunain accurately translated the scientific works of the ancients and contributed important commentaries to the medieval and scientific knowledge of his era.

Download or read book The Poetics of Otherness in Antonio Machado s proverbios Y Cantares written by Nicolás Fernández-Medina and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2011-01-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antonio Machado (1875-1939) is one of Spain’s most original and renowned twentieth-century poets and thinkers. From his early poems in Soledades. Galerías. Otros poemas of 1907, to the writings of his alter-ego Juan de Mairena of the 1930s, Machado endeavoured to explain how the Other became a concern for the self. In The Poetics of Otherness in Antonio Machado’s “Proverbios y cantares,” Nicolás Fernández-Medina examines how Machado’s “Proverbios y cantares,” a collection of short, proverbial poems spanning from 1909 to 1937, reveal some of the poet’s deepest concerns regarding the self-Other relationship. To appreciate Machado’s organizing concept of otherness in the “Proverbios y cantares,” Fernández-Medina argues how it must be contextualized in relation to the underlying Romantic concerns that Machado struggled with throughout most of his oeuvre, such as autonomy, solipsism and skepticism of absolutes. In The Poetics of Otherness in Antonio Machado’s “Proverbios y cantares,” Fernández-Medina demonstrates how Machado continues a practice of “fragment thinking” to meld the poetic and the philosophical, the part and whole, and the finite and infinite to bring light to the complexities of the self-Other relationship and its relevance in discussions of social and ethical improvement in early twentieth-century Spain.

Download or read book The Birth of Thought in the Spanish Language written by Ilia Galán Díez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-29 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes readers on a philosophical discovery of a forgotten treasure, one born in the 14th century but which appears to belong to the 21st. It presents a critical, up-to-date analysis of Santob de Carrión, also known as Sem Tob, a writer and thinker whose philosophy arose in the Spain of the three great cultures: Jews, Christians, and Muslims, who then coexisted in peace. The author first presents a historical and cultural introduction that provides biographical detail as well as context for a greater understand of Santob's philosophy. Next, the book offers a dialogue with the work itself, which looks at politics, sociology, anthropology, psychology, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and theodicy. The aim is not to provide an exhaustive analysis, or to comment on each and every verse, but rather to deal only with the most relevant for today’s world. Readers will discover how Santob believed knowledge must be dynamic, and tolerance fundamental, fleeing from dogma, since one cannot avoid a significant dose of moral and aesthetic relativism. Subjectivity, within its own codes, must seek a profound ethics, not puritanical but which serves to escape from general ill will. Santob offers a criticism of wealth and power that does not serve the people which appears to be totally relevant today. In spite of the fame he achieved in his own time, Santob has largely remained a vestige of the past. By the end of this book, readers will come to see why this important figure deserves to be more widely studied. Indeed, not only has this medieval Spanish philosopher searched for truth in an unstable, confused world of contradictions, but he has done so in a way that can still help us today.

La Asamblea se reunió según a la convocación, el 1 de julio de 1643, en la Iglesia de Westminster. El Dr. William Twisse, Presidente, predicó el sermón de apertura tomado de la promesa preciosa de Cristo, No os dejaré huérfanos. Estas palabras eran como manzanas de oro con figuras de plata, en aquellos tiempos de confusión triste. Una semana después volvieron a reunirse, cuando el juramento fue administrado a cada miembro presente, en las palabras siguientes: Yo, -- --, declaro solemne y seriamente, ante la presencia del Dios Todopoderoso, que en esta Asamblea, de la cual yo soy un miembro, no mantendré nada en asuntos de doctrina, más de lo que yo creo en mi conciencia ser verdad; o en puntos de disciplina, más de lo que yo conciba que conduzca más para la gloria de Dios, y para el bien y la paz de Su Iglesia. Este juramento se leyó todos los lunes por la mañana para refrescar la memoria y revivir la conciencia.

Download or read book Evidentiality and Epistemological Stance written by Ilana Mushin and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the discourse pragmatics of reportive evidentiality in Macedonian, Japanese and English through an empirical study of evidential strategies in narrative retelling. The patterns of evidential use (and non-use) found in these languages are attributed to contextual, cultural and grammatical factors that motivate the adoption of an 'epistemological stance' - a concept that owes much to recent trends in Cognitive Linguistics. The patterns of evidential strategies found in the three languages provide a fine illustration of the balancing act between speakers' expressions of their own subjectivity, their motivations to tell a coherent and exciting story, and their motivations to be faithful retellers of someone elses' story. These pressures are further complicated by the grammatical and pragmatic conventions that are particular to each language. Evidentiality and Epistemological Stance: narrative retelling will appeal to those interested in evidentiality, grammar and pragmatics, cross-linguistics discourse analysis, linguistic subjectivity and narrative.

Download or read book The Late Medieval Hebrew Book in the Western Mediterranean written by Javier del Barco and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection takes the Hebrew book as a focal point for exploring the production, circulation, transmission, and consumption of Hebrew texts in the cultural context of the late medieval western Mediterranean. The authors elaborate in particular on questions concerning private vs. public book production and collection; the religious and cultural components of manuscript patronage; collaboration between Christian and Jewish scribes, artists, and printers; and the impact of printing on Iberian Jewish communities. Unlike other approaches that take context into consideration merely to explain certain variations in the history of the Hebrew book from antiquity to the present, the premise of these essays is that context constitutes the basis for understanding practices and processes in late medieval Jewish book culture.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este estudio es un replanteamiento de la relación entre canciones y literatura en África oriental. Se examinan, en términos comparativos, las obras literarias y musicales de esta parte del continente con el fin de determinar y describir los caminos a partir de los cuales tales formas de la expresión creativa reflejan y transforman caminos prevalecientes y medios de formación de identidad de las personas cuyas vidas se extienden a través de varias "fronteras" y que desarrollan sentidos "superculturales" de sí mismos. El autor se basa en una extensa investigación de campo, así como en una multitud de entrevistas. La lectura atenta de las canciones y la literatura hace de este libro un estudio convincente para estudiantes de música y literatura africanas, y el análisis de las identidades africanas puede ser realmente para los estudiosos del nacionalismo tanto en África como en el mundo.
