Download or read book The Old Nubian Language written by Eugenia Smagina and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2017-09-09 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eugenia Smagina first published her grammar of the Old Nubian language in 1986 in Russian. For more than thirty years the work has remained untranslated, even though the late Gerald M. Browne affirmed that "this lucid, well-argued presentation should be available to all Nubiologists and ought therefore be translated into a western language." Slavicist José Andrés Alonso de la Fuente has prepared a first English translation of this concise but indispensable work, which forms a necessary counterpart to Browne's classical Old Nubian Grammar. The grammar is divided into sections on script, lexicon, morphology, and syntax, and is followed by the analysis of a sample text, known as The Miracle of St. Menas.Smagina's The Old Nubian Language provides an excellent first introduction into the grammar of this medieval Nilo-Saharan language.

Download or read book Apology Against Theodore written by St. Cyril of Alexandria and published by Dalcassian Press. This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extended work is intended to address the claims made by Theodore, the bishop of Mopsuestia, who allegedly was the counselor and defender of Nestorius, Archbishop of Constantinople. St. Cyril, along with many other of the church fathers, claim that the Nestorian heresy originates with Theodore and his claims about the divinity of Christ, and by extension, his mother the Theotokos. Theodore, during his lifetime, was regarded as an orthodox Christian churchman, who guarded against the Arianist camp, but was later condemned formally four years later at the Ecumenical Council of Ephesus. This work by St. Cyril is likely dated to that period between his death and the assembly of the council in Anatolia.
