 The Oxford Handbook of the Historical Books of the Hebrew Bible (Oxford Handbooks) edited by Brad E. Kelle, Brent A. Strawn English | November 16, 2020 | ISBN: 0190261161 | EPUB/PDF | 616 pages | 1.5/4.1 MB The Oxford Handbook of Historical Books of the Hebrew Bible is a collection of essays that provide resources for the interpretation of the books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah. The volume is not exhaustive in its coverage, but examines interpretive aspects of these books that are deemed essential for interpretation or that are representative of significant trends in present and future scholarship. The individual essays are united by their focus on two guiding questions: (1) What does this topic have to do with the Old Testament Historical Books? and (2) How does this topic help readers better interpret the Old Testament Historical Books? Each essay critically surveys prior scholarship before presenting current and prospective approaches.  The Oxford Handbook of Ritual and Worship in the Hebrew Bible (Oxford Handbooks) edited by Samuel E. Balentine English | September 25, 2020 | ISBN: 0190222115 | EPUB/PDF | 592 pages | 3/30.4 MB Ritual has a primal connection to the idea that a transcendent order - numinous and mysterious, supranatural and elusive, divine and wholly other - gives meaning and purpose to life. The construction of rites and rituals enables humans to conceive and apprehend this transcendent order, to symbolize it and interact with it, to postulate its truths in the face of contradicting realities and to repair them when they have been breached or diminished. This Handbook provides a compendium of the information essential for constructing a comprehensive and integrated account of ritual and worship in the ancient world. Its focus on ritual and worship from the perspective of biblical studies, as opposed to religious studies, highlights that the world of ritual and worship was a topic of central concern for the people of the Ancient Near East, including the world of the Bible.  The Oxford Handbook of Latin Palaeography (Oxford Handbooks) edited by Frank Coulson, Robert Babcock English | November 2, 2020 | ISBN: 0195336941 | EPUB/PDF | 1088 pages | 58/19.8 MB Latin books are among the most numerous surviving artifacts of the Late Antique, Mediaeval, and Renaissance periods in European history; written in a variety of formats and scripts, they preserve the literary, philosophical, scientific, and religious heritage of the West. The Oxford Handbook of Latin Palaeography surveys these books, with special emphasis on the variety of scripts in which they were written. Palaeography, in the strictest sense, examines how the changing styles of script and the fluctuating shapes of individual letters allow the date and the place of production of books to be determined. More broadly conceived, palaeography examines the totality of early book production, ownership, dissemination, and use. The Oxford Handbook of Latin Palaeography includes essays on major types of script (Uncial, Insular, Beneventan, Visigothic, Gothic, etc.), describing what defines these distinct script types, and outlining when and where they were used. It expands on previous handbooks of the subject by incorporating select essays on less well-studied periods and regions, in particular late mediaeval Eastern Europe.  The Oxford Handbook of Islamic Archaeology (Oxford Handbooks) edited by Timothy Insoll, Corisande Fenwick, Bethany Walker English | November 27, 2020 | ISBN: 0199987874 | EPUB/PDF | 792 pages | 26.5/10.8 MB Born from the fields of Islamic art and architectural history, the archaeological study of the Islamic societies is a relatively young discipline. With its roots in the colonial periods of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, its rapid development since the 1980s warrants a reevaluation of where the field stands today. This Handbook represents for the first time a survey of Islamic archaeology on a global scale, describing its disciplinary development and offering candid critiques of the state of the field today in the Central Islamic Lands, the Islamic West, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia.  Margo True, Staff of Sunset Magazine, "The One-Block Feast: An Adventure in Food from Yard to Table" English | 2011 | ISBN: 158008527X | 272 pages | AZW3 | 59.95 MB Based on the James Beard Award-winning blog The One-Block Diet, this all-in-one home gardening, do-it-yourself guide and cookbook shows you how to transform a backyard or garden into a self-sufficient locavore's paradise.  Ray Takeyh, "The Last Shah: America, Iran, and the Fall of the Pahlavi Dynasty " English | ISBN: 030021779X | 2021 | 336 pages | PDF | 2 MB The surprising story of Iran's transformation from America's ally in the Middle East into one of its staunchest adversaries  The Histories (Oxford World's Classics) by Herodotus, translated by Robin A. H. Waterfield English | May 15, 2008 | ISBN: 0199535663 | True EPUB/PDF | 840 pages | 20.2/41.6 MB "The father of history," as Cicero called him, and a writer possessed of remarkable narrative gifts, enormous scope, and considerable charm, Herodotus has always been beloved by readers well-versed in the classics. Compelled by his desire to "prevent the traces of human events from being erased by time," Herotodus recounts the incidents preceding and following the Persian Wars. He gives us much more than military history, though, providing the fullest portrait of the classical world of the 5th and 6th centuries.  The High History of the Holy Graal By Anonymous, Sebastian Evans 2009 | 369 Pages | ISBN: 1409926761 | PDF | 2 MB According to Christian mythology, the Holy Grail was the dish, plate, or cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper, said to possess miraculous powers. The connection of Joseph of Arimathea with the Grail legend dates from Robert de Boron's Joseph d'Arimathie (late 12th century) in which Joseph receives the Grail from an apparition of Jesus and sends it with his followers to Great Britain; building upon this theme, later writers recounted how Joseph used the Grail to catch Christ's blood while interring him and that in Britain he founded a line of guardians to keep it safe. The quest for the Holy Grail makes up an important segment of the Arthurian cycle, appearing first in works by ChrГ©tien de Troyes - a French poet and trouvГЁre who flourished in the late 12th century. His work on Arthurian subjects represents some of the best of medieval literature. Perceval, the Story of the Grail (French: Perceval, le Conte du Graal) is an unfinished romance probably written between 1181 and 1191. Though ChrГ©tien did not complete it, it had an enormous impact on the literary world of the Middle Ages. Over the following 50 years, four different poets took up the challenge left by ChrГ©tien and continued the adventures of Perceval and Gawain.
