Epigtoaphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 1996 (EBGR 1996) The ninth issue of the BEGR contains only part of the epigraphie harvest of 1996; unforeseen circumstances have prevented me and my collaborators from covering all the publications of 1996, but we hope to close the gaps next year. We have also made several additions to previous issues. In the past years the BEGR had often summarized publications which were not primarily of epigraphie nature, thus tending to expand into an unavoidably incomplete bibliography of Greek religion. From this issue on we return to the original scope of this bulletin, whieh is to provide information on new epigraphie finds, new interpretations of inscriptions, epigraphieal corpora, and studies based p;imarily on the epigraphie material. Only if we focus on these types of books and articles, will we be able to present the newpublications without delays and, hopefully, without too many omissions.

  • EAST INDIANS on the SPANISH MAIN in the NINETEENTH CENTURY Michael F
    Man In India, 93 (1) : 95-111 © Serials Publications ‘ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE’: EAST INDIANS ON THE SPANISH MAIN IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Michael F. Toussaint In this paper the Spanish Main is taken to refer to the broad area stretching from Mexico to the southern tip of South America, only part of which was affected by East Indian immigration1. Until recently, little research was done regarding migration from the Caribbean to South America. A largely unexplored dimension of this phenomenon is the late nineteenth-century illegal migration of a number of Indian immigrant labourers who had been brought to the Caribbean under indenture contracts. This paper seeks to bring this migration phenomenon into focus. It examines the circumstances surrounding the illegal emigration of these Indians to the South American mainland, their experience there and the British government’s handling of this problem. Also discussed is the cultural impact of those Indian immigrants who remained on the mainland. The overall number of Indian emigrants is unknown and undoubtedly small. Ours, however, is a qualitative rather than quantitative discourse, intended to broaden the context and scope of Indian migration, and our appreciation of the myriad dimensions of their diaspora. Theoretical and Epistemological Issues There are two fundamental and reciprocating nuances to Caribbean migration historiography. Firstly, it emphasizes the movement of labour, whether forced or voluntary. Secondly, from this, historical enquiry remains focused on in-migration to the region. Out-migration, significant as part of the Caribbean experience from the inception of European and Caribbean contact, has been studied as an afterthought. One result is that the complexity of Caribbean migration has been significantly obscured2.

  • Preliminary Report to the Wilson Trustees on Two Journeys in Asia Minor, 1901 and 1902
    PRELIMINARY REPORT TO THE WILSON TRUSTEES ON TWO JOURNEYS IN ASIA MINOR, 1901 AND 1902. I. As there are some features, which are now and are likely to remain unusual in my tenure of the Wilson Fellowship, I should begin by stating the motives which guided me in offering to undertake the work of the Fellowship. The Trustees are aware that, though the Fellowship has been long in existence, I am only the second Wilson Fellow ; but the conditions were peculiar and inelastic, and there was not everywhere among us a very strong desire to make the foundation a practical part of our Aberdeen School of Ancient Letters. I may take credit for having advised the first Fellow to take up the special path in which he attained such brilliant success, and especially for having suggested to him to apply for the Wilson Fellowship, and in some degree for having given him training in the methods of research for a year in Aberdeen before he was elected. In my actual application for the Fellowship, it would not have been right to do more than describe the work of research which I proposed to carry out with the Fellow- ship ; and the results of that work are briefly described in Part II. of this Report. But I desire now to lay before the Trustees the wider scheme which I had in mind, and which will, I trust, produce a series of Wilson Fellows who will be as distinguished as my predecessor was. My motive in returning to Asia Minor after ten years' absence was only in part to search for and to find the ΙΟ PRELIMINARY REPORT TO THE WILSON TRUSTEES answer to the problems that had been cropping up in the investigations and discussions of the intervening years, though that alone was quite sufficient to take me back as soon as there arose a prospect of finding the money neces- sary.

  • Selected Writings Found in the Bahá'í Faith on Indians
    LB: Updatd November 2018 CHAPTER 1 - WRITINGS IN THE BAHÁ’Í AUTHORITATIVE TEXTS AND TEXTS BY THE HANDS OF THE CAUSE ON INDIANS IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE I. Purpose of the Coming of Bahá’u’lláh Indeed, the purpose of the coming of Bahá’u’lláh is to lift the yoke of oppression from His loved ones, to liberate all the people of the world, and to provide the means for their abiding happiness. In this regard, the Tablets of the Divine Plan addressed by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá to North America make it clear that the destiny of the Native Americans as an illumined and fulfilled peo- ple is linked to the quality of their response to the Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh. (Letter dated 12 February 2002, written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice, http://bahai-library.com/ uhj_indian_nations) II. Capacity of American Indians to Comprehend the Faith The understanding of His words and the comprehension of the utterances of the Birds of Heaven are in no wise dependent upon human learning. They depend solely upon purity of heart, chastity of soul, and freedom of spirit. This is evidenced by those who, today, though without a single letter of the accepted standards of learning, are occupying the loftiest seats of knowledge; and the garden of their hearts is adorned, through the showers of divine grace, with the roses of wisdom and the tulips of understanding. Well is it with the sincere in heart for their share of the light of a mighty Day! (Bahá’u’lláh, The Kitáb-i-Íqan, p.

  • ECCLESIAE OCCIDENTALIS MONUMENTA IURIS ANTIQUISSIMA Ed
    ECCLESIAE OCCIDENTALIS MONUMENTA IURIS ANTIQUISSIMA ed. C.H. Turner (Oxford, 1899-1939) Index of Names and Selected Words Corrected, revised, and extended 2008 by Philip R. Amidon, S.J. Creighton University [email protected] It has seemed opportune to republish this index in a corrected and extended version; there has been added to the list of names a list of selected words, and the method of referring to the text has been somewhat altered. The exact scope of C.H. Turner’s masterpiece is not immediately apparent from its title or subtitles (Canonum et conciliorum graecorum interpretationes latinae; Canones et concilia graeca ab antiquis interpretibus latine reddita). What one in fact finds here is an edition of the earliest surviving collections of church canons in Latin which are undoubtedly from the fourth century or have been assigned to it by at least some consensus of scholarship; some of them are translations from Greek, while others were originally drafted in Latin itself. Most of them, with the exception of the Apostolic Constitutions and Canons, are attributed to church councils. Turner, however, also offers a selection of doctrinal and historical material of enormous value, some of it indeed connected to the councils whose canons he edits; a comparison, for instance, of the creed contained in the synodical letter of the Council of Sardica with the Tomus Damasi, will suggest how far the doctrinal education of the western church advanced during the course of the fourth century. The connection of other historical matter to the canons is less obvious, however; one wonders what the Athanasian Historia acephala is doing here (granted that it is part of the collection of Theodosius the Deacon), however grateful one is to have the edition.

He also sang Indian lullabys and other songs. Their love for the open life and stand against a double standard of morals for men and women made a fine impression.

  • The Expansion of Christianity in Lycaonian Cities and Villages
    Please provide footnote text CHAPTER 4 The Expansion of Christianity in Lycaonian Cities and Villages 4.1 Introduction The following survey of Christian inscriptions from Lycaonia and the adjacent region around Isaura and the lake region of eastern Pisidia forms the backbone of this study on the rise of early Christianity in Lycaonia. In each subsection of this chapter evidence attesting the presence of Christians in the cities and vil- lages of Lycaonia and adjacent areas is discussed and indicated on the accom- panying maps.1 In the selection of the material the authors decided to quote the full text of inscriptions that cannot with certainty be identified as Christian only by exception. Some of these inscriptions might well be Christian too. The documentation of “The Expansion of the Christian Religion” into Pisidia, Lycaonia and Isauria by Harnack in his Mission und Ausbreitung des Christentums includes only a few inscriptions and does not go beyond to AD 325.2 We expand his brief geographically orientated list of locations in which Christianity set foot into a full presentation of the available evidence. This survey shows how habitable space in Lycaonia and adjacent areas gradu- ally became Christianised. By the 5th century the church gained control over a vast area through the mechanism of bishops ruling the cities and their ter- ritories. The survey is organised around the major cities and their regions, starting with a brief description of the location and overviews of the ancient testimonies to Christianity referring to the city or its territory. Apart from the Lycaonian locations of Paul’s mission mentioned (Iconium, Lystra and Derbe) or implied (Laodicea Combusta) in the Acts of the Apostles, which “cities” or villages should be included under “Lycaonian and adjacent areas”?3 For Strabo the easternmost town of Lycaonia was Coropassus, a fortified outpost (φρούριον).

  • A History of the Church in Venezuela, 1810-1930
    UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LIBRARY THIS Vv'u]3^niA5 bttN REVIEWED FOR PRESERVATION. Date: A HISTORY OF THE CHURCH IN VENEZUELA 1810-1930 A HISTORY OF THE CHURCH IN VENEZUELA 1810-1930 BY Mary Watters, Ph.D. PROFESSOR OF HISTORY AND GOVERNMENT ARKANSAS STATE COLLEGE *^^^%^ Chapel Hill The University of North Carolina Press 1933 COPYRIGHT, 1933, BY THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA PRESS PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY THE SEEMAN PRESS, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA ^ ^ TO MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER 119387 PREFACE An interesting and significant feature of the history of the states that resulted from the dissolution of the Spanish Empire in America is found in the differences they present in the evolution of the church. The diversity in the history of this institution is one of the striking evidences of the individuality and differentiation of these Hispanic- American groups. It is suggestive, too, of the decentralization and consequent variations in operation now recognized to have been fundamental characteristics of the Spanish colonial system; for in the colonial background, racial, social, and political, lie the roots of this institutional evolution, whatever may have been the contributions of the national period. Although the progress of anti-clericalism and the operation of other forces have weakened in varying degrees the hold of the church in all Hispanic-American states, in none did the loss of influence fall so early ,^ in none was it so complete as in Venezuela. Indeed, the virtual impotence of the church has been recognized as a peculiar feature of the history of this people which distinguishes it from all other Hispanic-American groups.
