Download or read book Sound Matters written by Margaret E. Lee and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sound matters. The New Testament's first audiences were listeners, not readers. They heard its compositions read aloud and understood their messages as linear streams of sound. To understand the New Testament's meaning in the way its earliest audiences did, we must hear its audible features and understand its words as spoken sounds. Sound Matters presents essays by ten scholars from five countries and three continents, who explore the New Testament through sound mapping, a technique invented by Margaret Lee and Bernard Scott for analyzing Greek texts as speech. Sound Matters demonstrates the value and uses of this technique as a prelude and aid to interpretation. The essays that make up this volume illustrate the wide range of interpretive possibilities that emerge when sound mapping restores the spoken sounds of the New Testament and revives its living voice.
Download or read book Reading and Pronouncing Biblical Greek written by Philemon Zachariou and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book invites you to see not only how Hellenistic Koine ought to be pronounced but also why. Rigorously investigating the history of Greek orthography and sounds from classical times to the present, the author places linguistic findings on one side of the scale and related events on the other. The result is a balance between the evidence of the historical Greek sounds in Koine and pre-Koine times, and the political events that derailed those sounds as they were being transported through Europe's Renaissance academia and replaced them with Erasmian. This book argues for a return to the historical Greek sounds now preserved in Neohellenic (Modern Greek) as a step toward mending the Erasmian dichotomy that rendered post-Koine Greek irrelevant to New Testament Greek studies. The goal is a holistic and diachronic application of the Hellenic language and literature to illume exegetically the Greek text, as the New Testament contains numerous features that have close affinity with Neohellenic and should not be left unexplored.

Download or read book Greek Writing from Knossos to Homer written by Roger D. Woodard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997-06-12 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greek Writing from Knossos to Homer examines the origin of the Greek alphabet. Departing from previous accounts, Roger Woodard places the advent of the alphabet within an unbroken continuum of Greek literacy beginning in the Mycenean era. He argues that the creators of the Greek alphabet, who adapted the Phoenician consonantal script, were scribes accustomed to writing Greek with the syllabic script of Cyprus. Certain characteristic features of the Cypriot script--for example, its strategy for representing consonant sequences and elements of Cypriot Greek phonology--were transferred to the new alphabetic script. Proposing a Cypriot origin of the alphabet at the hands of previously literate adapters brings clarity to various problems of the alphabet, such as the Greek use of the Phoenician sibilant letters. The alphabet, rejected by the post- Bronze Age "Mycenaean" culture of Cyprus, was exported west to the Aegean, where it gained a foothold among a then illiterate Greek people emerging from the Dark Age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of the Erasmi Opera Omnia contains the sixth and last volume of Erasmus's Annotationes in Nouum Testamentum, viz. his annotations on the two letters to Timothy, the letter to Titos and Philemon, and the Catholic letters (James, 1. 2. Petr, 1.2.3. John, Judas); it closes with Erasmus's annotations on the Apocalypse. To the critical Latin text commentaries have been added in which the sources Erasmus used are mentioned. Moreover, explanations on relevant philological, theological and historical questions are given that are necessary for the comprehension of the Latin text. Der vorliegende Band der Erasmi Opera Omnia enthält den sechsten und letzten Teil von Erasmus' Annotationes in Nouum Testamentum, nämlich seine Anmerkungen zu den beiden Briefen an Timotheus, zum Brief an Titus bzw. Philemon und zu den Katholischen Briefen (Jac., 1.2. Petr., 1.2.3.Joh., Iud.); er schliesst mit Erasmus' Anmerkungen zur Apokalypse ab. Der bereinigte und kritisch edierte lateinische Text ist mit Kommentar versehen, in dem die von Erasmus herangezogenen genannten und auch ungenannten Quellen verarbeitet sind. Dazu kommen Erläuterungen zu den relevanten philologischen, theologischen und historischen Fragen, die zum Begriff des gebotenen lateinischen Textes unentbehrlich sind.
Download or read book Thesaurus Syriacus written by R. Payne Smith and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 956 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of languages forms the foundation of any study of ancient societies. While we are dependent upon archaeology to unearth pottery, tools, buildings, and graves, it is through reading the documentary evidence that we learn the nuances of each culture--from receipts and letters to myths and legends. And the access to those documents comes only through the basic work of deciphering scripts, conjugating verbs, untangling syntax, and mastering vocabulary. Ancient Language Resources brings together some of the most significant reference works for the study of ancient languages, including grammars, dictionaries, and related materials. While most of the volumes will be reprints of classic works, we also intend to include new publications. The linguistic circle is widely drawn, encompassing Egyptian, Sumerian, Akkadian, Ugaritic, Phoenician, Hattic, Hittite (Nesite), Hurrian, Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, Ethiopic, Arabic, Greek, Coptic, Latin, Mandaean, Armenian, and Gothic. It is the hope of the publishers that this will continue to encourage study of the ancient languages and keep the work of groundbreaking scholars accessible. --K. C. Hanson Series Editor

Download or read book Byzantine Commentaries on Aristotle s Rhetoric written by Melpomeni Vogiatzi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anonymous’ and Stephanus’ commentaries, written in the 12th century AD, are the first surviving commentaries on Aristotle’s Rhetoric. Their study, including the environment in which they were written and the philosophical ideas expressed in them, provides a better understanding of the reception of Aristotle’s Rhetoric in Byzantium, the Byzantine practice of commenting on classical texts, and what can be called “Byzantine philosophy”. For the first time, this book explores the context of production of the commentaries, discusses the identity and features of their authors, and reveals their philosophical and philological significance. In particular, I examine the main topics discussed by Aristotle in the Rhetoric as contributing to persuasion, namely valid and fallacious rhetorical arguments, ethical notions, emotional response and style, and I analyse the commentators’ interpretations of these topics. In this analysis, I focus on highlighting the value of the philosophical views expressed, and on creating a discussion between the Byzantine and the modern interpretations of the treatise. Conclusively, the two commentators need to be considered as independent thinkers, who aimed primarily at integrating the treatise within the Aristotelian philosophical system.
Download or read book Homeric Questions written by Gregory Nagy and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-03-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Choice Outstanding Academic Book The "Homeric Question" has vexed Classicists for generations. Was the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey a single individual who created the poems at a particular moment in history? Or does the name "Homer" hide the shaping influence of the epic tradition during a long period of oral composition and transmission? In this innovative investigation, Gregory Nagy applies the insights of comparative linguistics and anthropology to offer a new historical model for understanding how, when, where, and why the Iliad and the Odyssey were ultimately preserved as written texts that could be handed down over two millennia. His model draws on the comparative evidence provided by living oral epic traditions, in which each performance of a song often involves a recomposition of the narrative. This evidence suggests that the written texts emerged from an evolutionary process in which composition, performance, and diffusion interacted to create the epics we know as the Iliad and the Odyssey. Sure to challenge orthodox views and provoke lively debate, Nagy's book will be essential reading for all students of oral traditions.
