This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends of Our Lady Mary the Perpetual Virgin and Her Mother Hanna Vllis the only copy of the Life of Hanna In Ethiopic known to me. Two of the manuscripts were large handsome volumes about 16 inches square, and each contained a good selection of the Miracles of the Virgin mary, illustrated with many full-page pictures painted in bright colours which were intended to illustrate the texts of the Miracles. The older of these mss. Was written in the xvith century and the other about a century later; each had been made for the use of a royal personage. Another manuscript contained the Life of Mab a'a seyon, a comparatively modern Ethio pian saint, and the Life of Gabra krestos, a prince who abandoned his royal state and home and parents, and became a mendicant monk. These Lives were illus trated by a large series of coloured pictures, which are of Special interest as they portray events in the daily life of the modern Abyssinians: I sent to Lady Meux a description of these mss. Pointing out their interest and importance, and their great value from an artistic point of view. I also told the Keeper of Oriental Manu scripts in the British Museum of them, and urged him to attempt to acquire them for the National Collection. But his official financial position was such that it was impossible for him to make an offer for them which Mr. Quaritch would accept, and so the whole group of mss., together with a few smaller works, became the property of Lady Meux, who added them to her Col lection of Egyptian and Sudani antiquities preserved in the museum at Theobalds Park. The nucleus of this Collection was made by Sir Henry and Lady Meux when they visited Egypt In 1878 and 1882. In the former year Lady Meux with a small party succeeded In getting as far south as Sarras, and they visited Semnah and Kummah, and some of the forts In the Second Cataract between Sarras and Wadi Halfah. On their way down the Nile from Aswan Lady Meux picked up several objects of Interest among thembeing the important figures of Nebseni and his wife, who flourished about b.c. I 550. A substantial part of the Collection as it was in 1897 was made by myself in Egypt under permission from the Trustees of the British Museum, and the total number of Egyptian objects in the Theobalds Park Museum was one thou sand four hundred. In 1886 Mr. Walter Ingram pre sented to Lady Meux the now notorious mummy and coffin of nes-amsu (nes-menu), a prophet of the god Menu at Panopolis about b.c. 350. Many absurd stories have been published about this mummy, which it has been alleged caused the death of Mr. Ingram, and it will be well to state the facts concerning its acqui sition, which I had direct from him and from the natives at Luxor who were present when he purchased it.

Book The Muslim Jesus

    Book Details:
  • Author : Tarif Khalidi
  • Publisher : Harvard University Press
  • Release : 2003-04-30
  • ISBN : 0674011155
  • Pages : 257 pages

Download or read book The Muslim Jesus written by Tarif Khalidi and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2003-04-30 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents in English translation the largest collection ever assembled of the sayings and stories of Jesus in Arabic Islamic literature. In doing so, it traces a tradition of love and reverence for Jesus that has characterized Islamic thought for more than a thousand years. An invaluable resource for the history of religions, the collection documents how one culture, that of Islam, assimilated the towering religious figure of another, that of Christianity. As such, it is a work of great significance for the understanding of both, and of profound implications for modern-day intersectarian relations and ecumenical dialogue. Tarif Khalidi’s introduction and commentaries place the sayings and stories in their historical context, showing how and why this “gospel” arose and the function it served within Muslim devotion. The Jesus that emerges here is a compelling figure of deep and life-giving spirituality. The sayings and stories, some 300 in number and arranged in chronological order, show us how the image of this Jesus evolved throughout a millennium of Islamic history.

Book The Ethiopian Homily on the Ark of the Covenant

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Ethiopian Homily on the Ark of the Covenant, Amsalu Tefera offers an editio princeps of the Ethiopic text of Dǝrsanä Ṣǝyon together with an annotated English translation. This homily, most likely composed in the fifteenth century, links the term Zion with the Ark of the Covenant and recounts at length its wanderings from Sinai to Ethiopia. As a Christian document, many of the events are interpreted as symbolic of Mary and the heavenly New Jerusalem. First edited by the author for his 2011 doctoral dissertation, the critical text and apparatus present a complete collation of the ten known witnesses to this homily. Detailed notes are supplied on significant and difficult terms in the translation.

This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume examines how sexual mores and behavior, religious dogma and practice, and artistic creativity and authenticity have influenced, and been influenced by, the existentialist thought of Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Sartre, Nietzsche, Husserl and Buber, and the writings of Camus, Dostoevsky, Beckett, Kafka and Shestov. It compares the author’s personality theory with those of Freud, Jung, Fairbairn, Karl Abraham and Melanie Klein, and Buddhist, Gnostic, Christian and Muslim mysticism with Jewish Kabbalah.

Book The Virgin Mary Conspiracy

Download or read book The Virgin Mary Conspiracy written by Graham Phillips and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2005-03-01 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A convincing and cogent argument refuting the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Church dogma and revealing the true father of Jesus • Provides historical and archaeological evidence of a tomb of the Virgin Mary • Introduces the theory that Jesus's father was Antipater, son of Herod What became of the Virgin Mary after the Crucifixion is one of the greatest mysteries of the Bible. Although it appears nowhere in the Bible, the belief in the Assumption-Mary's bodily ascension into heaven-is accepted by many Christians as historical fact. Some, however, believe that Mary died naturally and was buried in a tomb in Jerusalem's Valley of Jehosaphat. Others say that her final resting place was in the Roman ruins of Ephesus in Asia Minor. In 1950 Giovanni Benedetti, an archaeologist attached to the Vatican museum, found a fourth-century manuscript indicating that Mary had been smuggled out of Palestine to an island off the west coast of Britain. According to Benedetti's findings, England's first Bishop, St. Augustine, discovered Mary's tomb there in A.D. 597. The reigning pope, Gregory the Great, forbade St. Augustine to speak of this, initiating a conspiracy of silence that lasted 1,400 years. Similarly, as Benedetti was about to publish his findings, he was instructed by the Vatican to discontinue his research. Soon after, the Roman Catholic Church declared the Assumption dogma. In The Virgin Mary Conspiracy Graham Phillips unravels the truth behind this centuries-old ecclesiastical cover-up and discovers what may be Mary's final resting place. During his extensive research Phillips also discovered another controversial theory revealing that Jesus was the son of Antipater, the son of Herod, and therefore the true heir to Herod's throne, thus explaining his title of "King of the Jews."

Book Mary and Early Christian Women

Download or read book Mary and Early Christian Women written by Ally Kateusz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY-NC-ND license. This book reveals exciting early Christian evidence that Mary was remembered as a powerful role model for women leaders—women apostles, baptizers, and presiders at the ritual meal. Early Christian art portrays Mary and other women clergy serving as deacon, presbyter/priest, and bishop. In addition, the two oldest surviving artifacts to depict people at an altar table inside a real church depict women and men in a gender-parallel liturgy inside two of the most important churches in Christendom—Old Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome and the second Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. Dr. Kateusz’s research brings to light centuries of censorship, both ancient and modern, and debunks the modern imagination that from the beginning only men were apostles and clergy.
