Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern Part of an Universal History, Vol. 11: From the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time However, this recrimination did not hinder that prince from protecting them, as they had taken care to secure his favour by the homage they paid him. We are, indeed, told that the Jews, who pretended then to deal in astrology and magic, had promised Yezid, the son of Hasan, then on the throne, and a wicked prince, a forty years reign, if he would destroy all the images within his dominions; but that his accepting the condition raised such a powerful party of saints in heaven, that they obtained a sentence of death against him. Upon which his son was going to revenge the cheat, and his father's death, upon them, but that they retired betimes into the Roman territories, and so escaped his resentment. But there is a manifest anachronism in that story, to say nothing worse of it, since Yezid died, A. D. 683; whereas, according to the author last named, the edict against images did not come out till three years after, that is, anno 686. Besides, it is so far from probable that the Jewish nation suffered under Yezid, or any of his immediate successors, that, on the contrary, they lived in such liberty and quiet under them, that their prince, or chief of the captivity, enjoyed as great an authority as if he had been their real king: and the same may be said of those that dwelt in Egypt and Syria, which was then under the Ommiades, whose family was no less friendly to the Jewish nation. But it is now time to turn our eyes to those in the West, under the Roman emperors, at Constantinople, Africa, Italy, Spain, and France, during the sixth and seventh centuries, which we chuse to join together, to avoid breaking off the thread of their history. The first cause of complaint which the emperor Justinian, who affected to judge of most affairs relating to religion, gave them, was his edict which forbad them to celebrate their passover according to their own calculation, and enjoined them to keep it at the same time with the Christians.

Download or read book Universal History and the Making of the Global written by Hall Bjørnstad and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By examining the history of universal history from the late Middle Ages until the early nineteenth century we trace the making of the global. Early modern universal history can be seen as a response to the epistemological crisis provoked by new knowledge and experience. Traditional narratives were no longer sufficient to gain an understanding of events. Inspired by recent developments in theory of history, the volume argues that the relevance of universal history resides in the laboratory of intense, diverse and mainly unsuccessful attempts at thinking history and universals together. They all shared the common aim of integrating all time and space: assemble the world and keep it together.

Download or read book The Universal History of Step anos Tar nec i written by Tim Greenwood and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-02 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Universal History (Patmutʻiwn tiezerakan) of Stepʻanos Tarōnecʻi is a history of the world in three books, composed by the Armenian scholar at the end of the tenth century and extending from the era of Abraham to the turn of the first millennium. It was completed in 1004/5 CE, at a time when the Byzantine Empire was expanding eastwards across the districts of historic Armenia and challenging key aspects of Armenian identity. Stepʻanos responded to these changing circumstances by looking to the past and fusing Armenian tradition with Persian, Roman, and Islamic history, thereby asserting that Armenia had a prominent and independent place in world history. The Universal History was intended to affirm and reinforce Armenian cultural memory. As well as assembling and revising extracts from existing Armenian texts, Stepʻanos also visited monastic communities where he learned about prominent Armenian scholars and ascetics who feature in his construction of the Armenian past. During his travels he gathered stories about local Armenian, Georgian, Persian, and Kurdish lords, which were then repeated in his composition. The Universal History therefore preserves a valuable narrative of events in Byzantium, Armenia, and the wider Middle East in the second half of the tenth century. This volume presents the first ever English translation of this work, drawing upon Manukyan's 2012 critical edition of the text, and is also the first study and translation of the Universal History to be published outside Armenia for a century. Fully annotated and with a substantial introduction, it not only provides an accessible guide to the text, drawing on the most up-to-date scholarship available, but also offers valuable new insights into the significance of an often overlooked work, the intellectual and literary contexts within which it was composed, and its place in the Armenian tradition.
