The Old Testament in Byzantium

19 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT

By Paul Magdalino

£25.95 19 Mar 2010 Hardback Dumbarton Oaks Research Library & Collection

This volume contains selected papers from a December 2006 Dumbarton Oaks symposium that complemented an exhibition of early Bible manuscripts at the Freer Gallery and Sackler Gallery of Art titled "In the Beginning: Bibles before the Year 1000." Speakers were invited to examine the use of the Greek Old Testament as a text, social practice, and cultural experience in the Byzantine Empire. Not only are reminiscences of the Old Testament ubiquitous in Byzantine literature and art, but the Byzantine people also revered and identified with Old Testament role models. The Old Testament connected Byzantium not only with its Christian neighbors but with Jewish and Muslim peoples as well. This widespread phenomenon has never received systematic investigation. "The Old Testament in Byzantium" considers the manifestations of the holy books in Byzantine manuscript illustration, architecture, and government, as well as in Jewish Bible translations and the construction of Muhammad's character.

An Introduction to Science Literature and/or Sastra Literature in Sanskrit

By Ashok Aklujkar

£21.00 09 Mar 2010 Hardback University Presses of California, Columbia and Princeton

The situating and mode of expression of the Sanskritic branches of systematic knowledge ( stras or sciences) are unique among classical languages due to several historical and cultural factors. As a consequence, the scientific knowledge and literature in Sanskrit have remained largely inaccessible beyond a small community of specialists. This book seeks to facilitate access for those who have little or no reading knowledge of Sanskrit. It explains the features of the literature and provides a wide-ranging and well-arranged bibliography that enables contemporary readers to move from Western names of sciences to Indic names and from general scholarly literature (surveys, histories, etc.) to specialized scholarly treatments.

By Joel Feldman, Stephen Phillips

The present work is informed by centuries of debate between Buddhist advocates of momentariness and arch-rival Nyaya philosophers who believed that both selves and things endure. This book is a first-time translation of Ratnakirti's proof based on positive correlations, and includes a commentary explaining each step of his reasoning.
