Download or read book Der Nahe und Mittlere Osten written by Jacob Neusner and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1999 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Condensing research concerning questions of religion which encompass the social history of ideas and the religious uses of language, this book deals with three questions: the relationship of the Mishnah to Scripture, the relationship of the religious ideas people hold to the world in which they live, and the religious meaning of the formalization of language that characterizes the Mishnah in particular. In discussing how the Mishnah relates to Scripture - in the (later) mythic language of Rabbinic Judaism: "the oral Torah" to "the written Torah" - a complete analysis is presented, based on a systematic application of a single taxonomic program. Then an examination is made of how the stages in the unfolding of the Halakhah of the Mishnah relate to the principal events of the times, which delineate those stages. Here focus is given to those pre-70 C.E. components of the Halakhah that later come to the surface in the Mishnah, but discussion extends to the periods from the destruction of the Temple in 70 C.E. to the Bar Kokhba War, concluded in ca. 135 C.E., then from the reconstruction, 135 C.E., to the closure of the Mishnah, 200 C.E. Finally attention is given to methods of interpreting the rhetorical forms of the Mishnah in the context of the social culture laid bare by the socio-linguistics of the documents concerned.

Download or read book The Kingdom of Kush written by László Török and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The individual character of Kingdom of Kush has often been overshadowed by the overwhelming cultural presence of its neighbour Egypt. This handbook in our series "Handbuch der Orientalistik/Handbook of Oriental Studies" for the first time presents a comprehensive survey of the rich textual, archaeological and art historical evidence for this Middle Nile Region Kingdom of Kush. Basing itself both on the evidence and scholarly literature, this work discusses the emergence of the native state of Kush (after the Pharaonic domination in the 11th century B.C.), the rule of the Kings of Kush in Egypt (c. 760-656) and the intellectual foundations and political history of the Kingdom in the Napatan (7th - 3rd centuries) and Meroitic (3rd century B.C. - 4th century A.D.) periods.

Book excerpt: Naher und Mittlerer Osten sind und bleiben auf absehbare Zeit ein Brennpunkt der Weltpolitik. David Gardner gibt einen fundierten Überblick über diese Krisenregion. Scharfsichtig, und vor unbequemen Wahrheiten nicht zurückschreckend, schöpft seine Analyse aus einer grossen geschichtlichen Kenntnis und langjährigen persönlichen Erfahrung vor Ort. Mit der neuen US-Regierung und ihrer Politik im Nahen und Mittleren Osten muss es eine Neubewertung dessen geben, was Realpolitik im Nahen und Mittleren Osten bedeuten kann und soll. Die traditionellen politischen Muster, Israel unterstützen, ein Netzwerk verlässlicher Machthaber knüpfen, die Saudis besänftigen, den Islamismus unterdrücken, sind im 21. Jahrhundert, so Gardner, nicht mehr tragbar.

Download or read book A Dictionary of Andalusi Arabic written by Federico Corriente and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-06-20 with total page 645 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed scientific description of the Andalusi Arabic dialect bundle did not exist until recent times, although the correct understanding of some of its texts bears heavily on many momentous conclusions drawn by contemporary scholars about the extent and depth of cultural interaction between the Arabs and the West. After many years of work on the grammar of this variety of Neo-Arabic, and having produced accurate editions of its materials, the author now undertakes the task of establishing its lexicon, both synchronically and diachronically, by listing words and idioms and trying to provide the etyma of most items. This volume will be useful to students of Arabic dialectology and also to those concerned with any kind of literature produced in Al-Andalus, as well as to Romance scholars who may find the solution to many an etymological riddle here.
