Catalogo N°44 1 2 1 Primavera 2020 Ultimo catalogo di Libri dall’Asia: per le ragioni che avevo accennato nel mio catalogo 43 saluto i miei clienti con cui ho condiviso ventidue anni di ricerca e di passione tra i libri di orientalistica. Non è estranea la ragione anagrafica e la certezza che questo tipo di iniziativa sia molto personale e qindi difficile da passare ad eredi che comunque non ci sono: i miei figli seguono altre strade e pochi si infilerebbero in una specie di missione culturale con pochissime sopravvenienze attive. Inoltre continuare richiederebbe di arricchire costantemente il listino dei titoli, il che aggraverebbe ulteriormente il problema della chiusura. Sicuramente influisce la insofferenza verso un regime burocrtico che diventa opprimente per le iniziative di impresa di dimensioni molto ridotte. Prego i miei lettori e i simpatizzanti di approfittare dell’occasione per arrichire i loro ordini nei limiti del possibile: a chi ordina più di 5 titoli offro uno sconto aggiuntivo del 20%. Mi rendo conto che per i libri gli sconti hanno poco senso ma questo mondo è in preda alla frenesia della scontistica e provo a fare una concessione ai tempi. Invito inoltre i lettori a non limitarsi ai titoli del catalogo ma a completare i loro ordini con titoli desunti dal catalogo del sito www. libridallasia.it che contiene circa 7500 voci, risultato di molti anni di pazienti ricerche. Certamente rimarrà, come presenza a titolo personale, il mio sito su Internet: parecchi clienti di Libri dall’Asia hanno manifestato interesse per i settori dei viaggi e per la galleria fotografica. E in proposito non è stato poi male questo 2019, per un paio di viaggi non molto avventurosi ma culturalmente edificanti. Un primo breve circuito a primavera risalendo l’Indo sulle traccie di Burnes, dalle spiagge sull’Oceano indiano di Karachi alle molte tracce Moghul a Lahore per finire splendidamente con le meraviglie di Taxila e i capolavori di arte Gandhara tra Peshawar e la valle dello Swat. Segnalo in proposito alcuni interessanti titoli: ‘Empires of the Indus’ di Alice Albinia (tradotto anche in italiano per Adelphi), la monografia di A.Stein sulla identificazione di Aornos (On Alexander tracks to the Indus), e la esaustiva ‘Guide to Taxila’ di Marshall. In autunno guidati dall’amico Marco Di Branco siamo stati a sfiorare il tema affascinate del percorso del Buddhismo e della sua arte lungo la via della seta, dall’India alla Cina, riscoprendo tra le migliaia di turisti cinesi le perle di tesori dimenticati per secoli lungo le dune sabbiose e le steppe del Taklamakan. Qui la materia offre una serie di testimanianze di grande valore storico e letterario, i racconti di Von Le Coq (Buried treasures of Chinese Turkestan), di A.Stein (Sand-buried ruins of Khotan e Ruins of desert Cathai) ) di Langden Warner (the long old road in China) di Kozlov (die toten stadt) Ricchissime le testimonianze iconografiche che illustrano i ritrovamenti archeologici nei numerosi testi sulle caverne di Dunhuang (‘Dunhuang Caves of the singing sands’, di Roderick Whitfield, ‘The Caves of Dunhuang’ di Susan Whitfield e Cheng Yi Huang) e sulle pitture Buddhiste acquistate dagli archeologi occidentali e ora nei principali Musei (‘Paintings of Thu-Huang’ di Lokesh Chandra per il Museo di Delhi, ‘Paintings from Ancient Shrines in Central Asia’, di Andrews e ‘Chinese art from the Silk Route’ di Roderick Whitfield e Ann Farrer per il British Museum, ‘Arte Buddhista di Khara Khoto’, di Piotrovskij per l’Hermitage di S Pietroburgo. Leggendo i racconti di questi pionieri delle scoperte di una civiltà millenaria e dimenticata forte è la nostalgia per un modo di viaggiare lento e ricco di contatti con le popolazioni locali, favoriti da conoscenze culturali e linguistiche che rivelano personaggi eccezionali al di la delle polemiche sulle metodologie della ricerca e dei prezzi pagati per documenti di eccezionale valore. 2 Non posso termonare questa mia lettera di commiato senza un particolare ringraziamento a quanti hanno voluto benevolmente commentare i miei cataloghi e a tutti quanti hanno riconosciuto con l’acquisto di un titolo la bontà di una scelta. Sono stati anni molto piacevoli, una specie di seconda o terza vita iniziata dopo la pensione Di questo sono sinceramente riconoscente a tutti voi.

  • Patrick Henry
    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY PATRICK HENRY: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HARMONIZED RELIGIOUS TENSIONS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY BY KATIE MARGUERITE KITCHENS LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA APRIL 1, 2010 Patrick Henry: The Significance of Harmonized Religious Tensions By Katie Marguerite Kitchens, MA Liberty University, 2010 SUPERVISOR: Samuel Smith This study explores the complex religious influences shaping Patrick Henry’s belief system. It is common knowledge that he was an Anglican, yet friendly and cooperative with Virginia Presbyterians. However, historians have yet to go beyond those general categories to the specific strains of Presbyterianism and Anglicanism which Henry uniquely harmonized into a unified belief system. Henry displayed a moderate, Latitudinarian, type of Anglicanism. Unlike many other Founders, his experiences with a specific strain of Presbyterianism confirmed and cooperated with these Anglican commitments. His Presbyterian influences could also be described as moderate, and latitudinarian in a more general sense. These religious strains worked to build a distinct religious outlook characterized by a respect for legitimate authority, whether civil, social, or religious. This study goes further to show the relevance of this distinct religious outlook for understanding Henry’s political stances. Henry’s sometimes seemingly erratic political principles cannot be understood in isolation from the wider context of his religious background. Uniquely harmonized

    OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – FIRSTPROOFS, Mon Dec 07 2015, NEWGEN 3 Vajrayāna Traditions in Nepal Todd Lewis and Naresh Man Bajracarya Introduction The existence of tantric traditions in the Kathmandu Valley dates back at least a thousand years and has been integral to the Hindu– Buddhist civi- lization of the Newars, its indigenous people, until the present day. This chapter introduces what is known about the history of the tantric Buddhist tradition there, then presents an analysis of its development in the pre- modern era during the Malla period (1200–1768 ce), and then charts changes under Shah rule (1769–2007). We then sketch Newar Vajrayāna Buddhism’s current characteristics, its leading tantric masters,1 and efforts in recent decades to revitalize it among Newar practitioners. This portrait,2 especially its history of Newar Buddhism, cannot yet be more than tentative in many places, since scholarship has not even adequately documented the textual and epigraphic sources, much less analyzed them systematically.3 The epigraphic record includes over a thousand inscrip- tions, the earliest dating back to 464 ce, tens of thousands of manuscripts, the earliest dating back to 998 ce, as well as the myriad cultural traditions related to them, from art and architecture, to music and ritual. The religious traditions still practiced by the Newars of the Kathmandu Valley represent a unique, continuing survival of Indic religions, including Mahāyāna- Vajrayāna forms of Buddhism (Lienhard 1984; Gellner 1992). Rivaling in historical importance the Sanskrit texts in Nepal’s libraries that informed the Western “discovery” of Buddhism in the nineteenth century (Hodgson 1868; Levi 1905– 1908; Locke 1980, 1985), Newar Vajrayāna acprof-9780199763689.indd 872C28B.1F1 Master Template has been finalized on 19- 02- 2015 12/7/2015 6:28:54 PM OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – FIRSTPROOFS, Mon Dec 07 2015, NEWGEN 88 TanTric TradiTions in Transmission and TranslaTion tradition in the Kathmandu Valley preserves a rich legacy of vernacular texts, rituals, and institutions.

Garrison ___________________________ Neil Kamil SAMUEL JOHNSON’S RAMBLER AND THE INVENTION OF SELF-HELP LITERATURE by John Steven Kinkade, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin December 2005 SAMUEL JOHNSON’S RAMBLER AND THE INVENTION OF SELF-HELP LITERATURE Publication No. ___________ John Steven Kinkade, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2005 Supervisor: Elizabeth Hedrick This dissertation argues that Samuel Johnson’s Rambler, a series of essays written between 1750 and 1752, helped established a new genre of advice writing, the self-help book. This genre depends on a method of caring for the self that privileges an autonomous identity that defines itself, through labor, against upper class values. Though Johnson employs many of the tropes and tactics of courtesy and civility literature, his work offers a new focus on the discipline of one’s mind and the assertion of an independent self in an urban culture. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the history of conduct literature, following its changes from Renaissance courtesy literature, which focused on the court, to civility literature, which emphasized the importance of participation in a broader public sphere.

Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis.' Signature: Date: 12/05/2015 3 Figure 1: Title Page of R. Gosling, The Laws of Honour, or A Compendious Account of the Ancient Derivation of All Titles, Dignities, Offices, &c as well as Temporal, Civil or Military (1714). This focus on honour and title perhaps represents our typical view of the peerage during the ‘long eighteenth century’. 4 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my two supervisors, Julian Hoppit and Jason Peacey, for their indispensable guidance and support. David Hayton and Perry Gauci kindly agreed to examine the thesis, and I am grateful for their advice and ideas. A number of archivists and librarians have been particularly helpful in providing access to archival sources, but those of the Parliamentary Archives require special thanks in providing me with so many documents detailing the activity of the House of Lords. I would also like to record my appreciation for the feedback on several parts of this thesis provided by the participants of the Bath Spa Conference ‘George I—300 Years on’, the Liverpool Conference ‘300 Years of Hanoverian Monarchy’, the Parliaments, Politics and People Seminar at the IHR, and the anonymous reviewers of the Journal of British Studies. The Arts and Humanities Research Council and UCL provided me with funds to pursue this thesis, for which I am very grateful.
