Download or read book Gemstone of Paradise written by S. J. G. Ronald Murphy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-27 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the Holy Grail has gripped the imaginations of millions since it first appeared in medieval romances, among them Wolfram von Eschenbach's Middle High German Parzival (c. 1210). Strangely, the Grail is identified in Parzival not as a cup or dish, but as a stone. This oddity is usually interpreted merely as further evidence of the difficulty of discerning the true sources of the Grail legend. G. Ronald Murphy seeks to illuminate this mystery and to enable a far better appreciation of Wolfram's insight into the nature of the Grail and its relationship to the Crusades. Wolfram's "sacred stone" was in fact a consecrated altar, precious by virtue of the sacrament but also, Murphy argues, by virtue of the material from which it was made: a precious green stone associated with the rivers of Paradise. Parzival, Murphy believes, was intended as an argument against continued efforts by Latin Christians to recover the Sepulchre by force. In Wolfram's story, warring Christians and Muslims are brought together in peace by the power of the Grail - a stone Murphy believes still exists. An entirely original reading of Wolfram's famous text, this engrossing and accessible book appeals not only to scholars and students of medieval literature but to anyone who is drawn to the lasting mystery of the Holy Grail.

Download or read book W B Yeats Ezra Pound and the Poetry of Paradise written by Sean Pryor and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emphasizing the interplay of aesthetic forms and religious modes, Sean Pryor's ambitious study takes up the endlessly reiterated longing for paradise that features throughout the works of W. B. Yeats and Ezra Pound. Throughout his study, Pryor argues that Yeats and Pound reconceive the quest for paradise as a quest for a new kind of poetry, a journey that Pryor traces by analysing unpublished manuscript drafts and newly published drafts that have received little attention.
Download or read book K mil Al Ziyar t written by Ibn Qūlawayh and published by Shiabooks. This book was released on 2008 with total page 814 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Note from the Author about the Book: In the Name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Praise is due to Allāh who is worthy of praise and has authority over it. He guides the people toward it (praising Him) and rewards them and compensates them for it – an increasing praise which does not vanish nor end. His might is exalted and His sovereignty is great. He is exalted, His names are sacred, and His blessings are continuous. Everything is humiliated in His Awe and is humble before His Ruling and Divinity. One cannot describe His characteristics and the imagination cannot fathom knowing Him. He is as He has described Himself: the God, the One, the Only, the Eternal, He is not begotten nor does he beget, and there is none like Him. And I testify that there is no god but Allāh. He is alone and He has no partners. And I testify that Muḥammad is His Slave and His Messenger. He (Allāh) has given him (the Prophet) the platform (on the Day of Judgment), honoured him with (innumerable) merits, dignified him with prophethood, supported him with miracles, and manifested Islām through him. He has elevated him above all of His creation from among the inhabitants of His heavens, His earths, His lands, and His oceans. He has elevated him to a position which no one can ascend to and no one can describe. He has elevated the Prophets’ family above all of creation through him and He has appointed them as His Manifesting Decisive Proofs. He supported them with Imamate and made obeying them mandatory on everyone who follows His religion, believes in His Oneness, and testifies to (the prophethood of) His Messenger. He has made their merits such that no one can describe them and no one can truly praise them. The most intelligent ones cannot truly understand their merits and no one can wrongfully desire their (unique) merits. He has appointed them as the stars for the earth through whom people are guided (and prevented) from going astray and through whom confusion and (spiritual) blindness are kept away. And He has appointed them as the pillars of the earth who prevent it from destroying its inhabitants. He has explained their merits on the tongue of His Prophet and made loving them obligatory on His slaves in His Speaking Book and through the tongue of His Truthful Prophet by saying – and He is the most honourable one to say anything – “Say (O Muĥammad) I do not ask you anything for the toils of prophethood, except love for my nearest kin” (42:23). The Prophet ordered (the people) to love them and stressed seeking nearness to them, being kind to them, and going to their Ziyārah during their lives and after their death. He mentioned such (incredible) merits and rewards for going to their Ziyārah that (these merits and rewards) are beyond that which can be fathomed by the human imagination, counted by all of the created beings, or truly described. However, his nation did the opposite of that which Allāh and His Messenger had ordered. Instead (his nation) killed those whom they were ordered to love, expelled those whom they were ordered to obey, and abandoned those to whose Ziyārah they were ordered to go. They frightened those who accepted the orders of Allāh willingly and who fulfilled them based on their ability and the circumstances of the time. They antagonized them (for going to Ziyārah). Despite this, they expect to be guided to the right path, they believe that they are the followers of the correct path and that they fulfill that which has been made obligatory on them day and night. And they expect the intercession of their Prophet on the Appointed Day (of Judgment). Nay!!! Their Prophet will be their enemy on the Promised Day! He will seek revenge against them at the time of reward (and punishment) on the Day of Judgment in front of the Lord of the lords. Verily He is Blessed and Exalted, far above oppressing the slaves. “Lo! Your Lord is ever watchful” (89:14). I will explain to you[1] – may Allah extend your life – the rewards which Allāh gives to those who go to the Ziyārah of His Prophet and his family through that which has been narrated only from them (the Ahlul Bayt), against the will of those who deny their merits, those who reject them, and antagonize (them and their followers) based on this. I seek help from Allāh in this and rely on Him. He is sufficient for me in all affairs and He is the best One on whom one can rely. Verily that which led to writing this book was your repeated requests (to do so) as well as my knowledge of the rewards and the nearness which I can attain to Allāh, His Messenger, ‘Ali, Fāṭimah, and the Imams by writing this book, and to the rest of the believers through publishing these narrations and sharing them with my brothers from among the believers. I started to think about this (compilation) and focused my energy on it and asked Allāh, the Blessed and the Exalted, for help until I finished compiling it, using only the narrations of the Imams . I did not include anything which has been narrated from anyone else, for verily that which has been narrated from the Ahlul Bayt is sufficient; there is no need to narrate anything from others. We acknowledge that we cannot encompass everything which has been narrated from them about this topic (Ziyārah) or about any other topic (for that matter). Furthermore, I have only narrated that which was reported to me by the trustworthy ones from among our companions – may Allāh’s Mercy be upon them – and I did not include anything which has been reported by unknown or unreliable sources who are not well-known for their knowledge and narrations. I named this book Kāmil Al-Ziyārāt and I have divided it into (many) chapters. Each chapter is about a separate topic; all of the narrations in the chapter are related to the topic. This has been done to prevent confusing the reader. The reader does not need to worry about how to find something (specific) that he may be looking for. (Unfortunately) this has been the case with the books of some other authors who have named a chapter using a specific title but have (nevertheless) included that which is not related to it in that chapter to such an extent that sometimes there are chapters in their books which do not contain even one Ḥadīth which clearly explains the topic of the chapter. The reason I have organized the book in this specific way is to make it easier for those who are looking for a Ḥadīth about a particular topic. The reader can simply look at the titles of the chapters and find the Ḥadīth about the topic in question. The book was also organized so that the readers, those who study this book, and those who listen to the narrations in this book do not become weary (looking for something specific). (Finally), this work was compiled to inform people of that which Allāh has chosen for His friends from among those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ĥusain and (the rest of) the Masters and to increase their desire to (attain nearness to) them and to go to their Ziyārah through seeking the great rewards and victory which Allāh, the Great and Almighty, has prepared for them. I ask Allāh for that which He is worthy of giving and I ask Him through His most beloved names to send His blessing on Muḥammad and his family and to reward me for this book with that which I have hoped for with His Mercy and His Generosity, and I ask him not to deprive me of it. May Allāh’s blessing be upon Muḥammad and his righteous and chosen family. [1] The author has not mentioned the name of this person.

Download or read book Introduction to Old Yiddish Literature written by Jean Baumgarten and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-06-02 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean Baumgarten's Introduction to Old Yiddish Literature, thoroughly revised from the first edition and translated into English, provides students and scholars of medieval, Renaissance, and early modern European cultures with an exemplary survey of the broad and deep literary tradition in Yiddish. Baumgarten conceives of his work as the study of an entire culture via its literature, and thus he conceives of literature in a broad sense: he begins with four chapters addressing pertinent issues of the larger cultural context of the literature and moves on to a consideration of the primary genres in which the culture is expressed (epic, romance, prose narrative, drama, biblical translation and commentary, ethical and moral treatises, prayers, and the broad range of literature of daily use - medical, legal, and historical). In the field of early Yiddish studies the book will be the standard of intellectual breadth and scholarly excellence for decades to come. In this second edition, the hundreds of text citations and bibliographical references that are the scholarly basis of the study have been verified, and the citations translated anew directly from the original source.
