MARTIN'S LANE. PREF ACE. --0-- HE after-pressure of the War has by no means ceased, and T in several cases has acted prejudicially in depriving us of some of our supporters, who have found themselves unable to pay the subscription, which is still on a pre-war footing. One cannot, however, review the year 1920 without feeling very thankful for what our Society has accomplished. While deeply conscious that the Victoria Institute is too little known and does not fully occupy the position it should hold among the learned Societies of this Country, we feel it is steadily doing a work that no other Body attempts. The general upheaval in Europe has resulted in a tidal-wave of deep unrest flooding all the country, and many things that we thought impregnable are being seriously shaken-among which the foundations of our religious faith have not escaped. Here then is the -moment when this Philosophic Institute can prove its value in a special way, by standing as a well-reasoned and firm bulwark against the present chaos of unbelief. Philosophy, and above all Christian philosophy, can do much that is beyond the province of mere Science ; and we warmly welcome the help of all Christian Philosophers in the cause we have so much at heart-the re-settlement of the great truths of our Christian faith, on an intelligent basis in the hearts of our countrymen. Nothing less than this lofty purpose animates the actions of our Council ; and when this work can be associated with true scientific knowledge, the combination is invaluable. We feel that the aim of the Institute only requires to be better known to command the support of all Christian men of Science, and we look forward hopefully to adding many such to our ranks in the coming year. Turning to what has been done during the past session, we see that our main object has been kept steadily in view, in such Papers as vi PREFACE. the "Silences of Scripture," by the Rev. A. H. Finn, the "Meaning of the .,Esthetic Impulse," by the Rev. Stewart A. McDowall, and "Freedom and Discipline," by the Very Rev. Dean Inge. Archreo­ logy in its various branches has been well represented by Dr. Masterman's paper on the "Walls of Jerusalem," the Rev. J. E. H. Thomson on the "Samaritan Pentateuch," "Babylon in the Days of Nebuchadrezzar," by Theophilus G. Pinches, of the British Museum, " Monumental Art in Early England, Caledonia and Ireland," by the Rt. Rev. Bishop G. Forrest Browne, and by the beautifully illustrated lecture by Mr. Arthur Sutton on the " Ruined Cities of Palestine." With regard to the future we look forward to Papers of special value at the present moment; such as "The Psychology of Man," by Dr. Anderson-Berry, "Prophecy," by Lieut.-Col. Molony, "Public School Education," by the Head Master of Westminster School, and the "Tri-partite Nature of Man," by the Rev. Gosset­ Tanner. Other papers on "Empire," by Bishop Ingham, "Motherhood," by Dr. Amand Routh, "Fetichism," by W. Hoste, and Canon Parfit's lecture on Mesopotamia all promise to be of great interest. The large average audiences of last year are a distinct encourage­ ment, and also the considerable accession of new Members and Associates. The Institute is greatly indebted to the distinguished readers of the Papers of the past and coming years, who have and will give the results of their original research and scientific and religious studies at a time when sound teaching is so much required. This brief review would be quite incomplete if no mention were made of the fresh effort the Institute has put forth to meet the needs of the times in a series of " Tracts for New Times," selected and arranged for Papers, read before the Institute by writers of authority. They are as follows :-(1) "The Problem of Nature," the Rev. G. F. Whidborne, M.A., F.G.S. ; (2) "Modern Conceptions of the Universe," G. F. C. Searle, M.A., F.R.S. ; (3) " The First Chapter of Genesis," E. W. Maunder, F.R.A.S. ; (4) "Creation or Evolution," :Walter Kidd, M.D., F.Z.S. ; (5) "The Bearing of Archreological and Historical Research upon the New Testament," the Rev. Parke P. Flournoy, D.D. ; (6) "Indications of a Scheme in the Universe," Canon Girdlestone, M.A., and " Luminaries and PREFACE. vii Life in Connection with the Genesis Account of Creation," the Rev. A. Irving, D.Sc., B.A. In conclusion, we look forward with confidence to a large accession to our Members, as the important work of the Victoria Institute becomes better known. ALFRED T.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR 1919. READ AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, MARCH 1ST, 1920. 1. Progress of the Institute. In presenting to the Members of the Victoria Institute the Fifty-first Annual Report, the Council desire to acknowledge the good hand of God in carrying the Institute through another year. They are thankful to note that with the cessation of hostilities and the subsequent signing of the peace treaty fresh interest in the work of the Institute has been aroused, as shown by increased attendances at the meetings. The work of reconstruction, however, is everywhere slow. The past year has been one of great unsettlement. The exaggerated hopes of a " new earth " held out by politicians, as the immediate results of peace, have not been realized. All now recognize that a permanent advance can only be realized by a united effort to economize and produce more on behalf of the community in general. We trust that this same spirit of united effort and concentrated interest may be found among the Members of the Institute. The high standard of the papers of previous years has been well maintained and the best thanks of the Council are due to those who at no small expense of time and trouble have thus contributed to the usefulness of the Institute.

    Worthless Deities Listed in the Hebrew Text by Kathryn QannaYahu I would like to thank my daughters Leviyah and Genevieve for their support, both encouragement and financial so that I could work on this study full time. I would also like to thank the Bozeman Public Library, especially Mary Ann Childs, who handled well over a hundred of my interlibrary loans during these two years. Subcategory Links Foreign Language Intro Study Intro Proto-Indo-Europeans and the Patriarchy From Clan Mother To Goddess Ancestor Worship/Cult of the Dead Therafiym Molek/Melek Nechushthan and Sherafiym Astral Cult Seal of God – Mark of the Beast Deities Amurru / Amorite Ugaritic / Canaanite Phoenician / Felishthiym [Philistine] / Carthaginian Syrian / Aramean Babylonian / Assyrian Map of Patron Deity City Names Reference Book List Foreign Language Intro This study incorporates many textual elements that need their own introduction because of all the languages presented. For the Hebrew, I use a Hebrew font that you will not be able to view without a download, unless you happen to have the font from another program. If you should see odd letters strung together where a name or word is being explained, you probably need the font. It is provided on my fonts page http://www.lebtahor.com/Resources/fonts.htm . Since Hebrew does not have an upper and lower case, another font used for the English quoting of the Tanak/Bible is the copperplate, which does not have a case. I use this font when quoting portions of the Tanak [Hebrew Bible], to avoid translator emphasis that capitalizing puts a slant on.

  • Beyond the Bosphorus: the Holy Land in English Reformation Literature, 1516-1596
    BEYOND THE BOSPHORUS: THE HOLY LAND IN ENGLISH REFORMATION LITERATURE, 1516-1596 Jerrod Nathan Rosenbaum A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Jessica Wolfe Patrick O’Neill Mary Floyd-Wilson Reid Barbour Megan Matchinske ©2019 Jerrod Nathan Rosenbaum ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Jerrod Rosenbaum: Beyond the Bosphorus: The Holy Land in English Reformation Literature, 1516-1596 (Under the direction of Jessica Wolfe) This dissertation examines the concept of the Holy Land, for purposes of Reformation polemics and apologetics, in sixteenth-century English Literature. The dissertation focuses on two central texts that are indicative of two distinct historical moments of the Protestant Reformation in England. Thomas More's Utopia was first published in Latin at Louvain in 1516, roughly one year before the publication of Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses signaled the commencement of the Reformation on the Continent and roughly a decade before the Henrician Reformation in England. As a humanist text, Utopia contains themes pertinent to internal Church reform, while simultaneously warning polemicists and ecclesiastics to leave off their paltry squabbles over non-essential religious matters, lest the unity of the Church catholic be imperiled. More's engagement with the Holy Land is influenced by contemporary researches into the languages of that region, most notably the search for the original and perfect language spoken before the episode at Babel. As the confusion of tongues at Babel functions etiologically to account for the origin of all ideological conflict, it was thought that the rediscovery of the prima lingua might resolve all conflict.

  • Documenting Endangered Alphabets
    Documenting endangered alphabets Industry Focus Tim Brookes Three years ago, acting on a notion so whimsi- cal I assumed it was a kind of presenile monoma- nia, I began carving endangered alphabets. The Tdisclaimers start right away. I’m not a linguist, an anthropologist, a cultural historian or even a woodworker. I’m a writer — but I had recently started carving signs for friends and family, and I stumbled on Omniglot.com, an online encyclo- pedia of the world’s writing systems, and several things had struck me forcibly. For a start, even though the world has more than 6,000 Figure 1: Tifinagh. languages (some of which will be extinct even by the time this article goes to press), it has fewer than 100 scripts, and perhaps a passing them on as a series of items for consideration and dis- third of those are endangered. cussion. For example, what does a written language — any writ- Working with a set of gouges and a paintbrush, I started to ten language — look like? The Endangered Alphabets highlight document as many of these scripts as I could find, creating three this question in a number of interesting ways. As the forces of exhibitions and several dozen individual pieces that depicted globalism erode scripts such as these, the number of people who words, phrases, sentences or poems in Syriac, Bugis, Baybayin, can write them dwindles, and the range of examples of each Samaritan, Makassarese, Balinese, Javanese, Batak, Sui, Nom, script is reduced. My carvings may well be the only examples Cherokee, Inuktitut, Glagolitic, Vai, Bassa Vah, Tai Dam, Pahauh of, say, Samaritan script or Tifinagh that my visitors ever see.

  • The Ancient Los Lumas New Mexico Hebrew 10 Commandments Stone Compiled by Glen W
    The Ancient Los Lumas New Mexico Hebrew 10 Commandments Stone Compiled by Glen W. Chapman From Various Sources- April 2006 An Ancient Hebrew Inscription in New Mexico Fact or Fraud? by James D. Tabor The standard textbook wisdom that we all learned from grade school on up is that the Americas were discovered by the Europeans either in 1492 by Columbus, or perhaps even a few hundred years earlier by the Vikings. There seems to be an aversion among the establishment historians to even consider the idea that ancient Mediterranean peoples might have traveled to the Americas in the centuries before our era. Except for certain “fringe” scholarship, particularly promoted by Mormon historians, the standard view is considered indisputable. The very idea that “primitive” peoples from Cyprus, Phoenicia, Greece, or Iberia had the sailing sophistication to cross the Atlantic is thought to be improbable if not absurd. There are a few notable exceptions. Dr. Cyrus Gordon, one of the greatest living historians of ancient Near Eastern civilizations has promoted the idea that such peoples reached the New World for the past several decades. Actually, when one digs around a bit, it turns out that the historical and archaeological evidence is quite impressive. It has been well documented by Barry Fell in his major study, America B.C. (New York: Pocket Books, 1989). One of the most fascinating sites Dr. Fell surveys is located south of Albuquerque, New Mexico, a few miles west of a little town called Los Lunas. The site has been known as “Mystery Mountain” by the locals for many years.

    Textus 27 (2018) 3–21 brill.com/text The Relationship between Paleography and Textual Criticism: Textual Variants Due to Graphic Similarity between the Masoretic Text and the Samaritan Pentateuch as a Test Case Hila Dayfani* Bar-Ilan University, Israel [email protected] Abstract Almost from the inception of the textual analysis of the Hebrew Bible, scholars recog- nized that certain textual variants were caused by the interchange of letters bearing graphic similarity. This article focuses on a small number of interchanges between the MasoreticText (MT) and the Samaritan Pentateuch (SP) and studies their possible pale- ographic context. The central claim of the paper is that it is possible to identify the scripts used in which the changes occurred and in some instances, even the specific stage of development of the script. The paleographic conclusion that arises from the evidence presented is that the Samaritan version developed from earlier versions that were transmitted in Paleo-Hebrew and in square script, or that the Samaritan version was transmitted in its early stages in both of these scripts. The SP itself reached us in a still later script, the Samaritan script, which developed from the Paleo-Hebrew script. Keywords graphic similarity – paleography – textual criticism – Samaritan Pentateuch (SP) – Masoretic Text (MT) – Paleo-Hebrew script – square script * This article is based in part on my lecture given at the 17th World Congress of Jewish Studies, Jerusalem, August 6–10, 2017. It also consists of a part of a chapter of my doctoral thesis con- ducted at the Bible Department at Bar-Ilan University, carried out under the supervision of Prof.
