We trust your experience with this and other volumes in the Library fulfills our motto and vision which is our commitment to you: MAKING THE WORDS OF THE WISE AVAILABLE TO ALL — INEXPENSIVELY. AGES Software Rio, WI USA Version 1.0 © 2000 2 Delancey William Heathcote, D.D., bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the diocese of Western New York, was born in Westchester County, N. Y., Oct. 8, 1797; graduated at Yale College in 1817, and was ordained deacon in 1819. His first ministerial labor was given to Grace Church, New York, of which he was in charge during the vacancy of the rectorship which preceded that of the Rev. Dr. Wainwright. He then officiated for a short time in the newly- organized parish of St. Thomas’s, Mamaroneck. Having been advanced to the priesthood on March 6, 1822, in Trinity Church, New York, he removed to the city of Philadelphia, where he became an assistant minister of the united churches of Christ Church, St. Peter’s, and St. James’s, of which bishop White was then rector. In 1828 he was appointed Provost of the University of Pennsylvania. In 1833 he became assistant minister of St. Peter’s Church of Philadelphia, and in 1837 rector. When the diocese of New York was divided in 1838, Dr. Delancey was elected the first bishop of the new diocese of Western New York. His consecration took place on May 9, 1839. In 1852 he visited England as a delegate to the English House of Bishops from the Protestant Episcopal Church of America. He died at Geneva, N. Y., April 5, 1865. In all positions, as pastor, university officer, and bishop, Dr. Delancey was diligent, skillful, and successful. He instituted a system of diocesan missions sustained to the present time without incurring debt. In 1840, by his recommendation, a fund for the relief of infirm and aged clergy of the diocese was established. Delany Patrick, an eminent Irish clergyman, was born in the year 1686, and was educated at Trinity College, Dublin. In 1727 lord Carteret raised him to the chancellorship of Christ Church. He distinguished himself by the publication of the first volume of a work entitled Revelation examined with Candor (4th edit. Lond. 1745-63, 3 vols. 8vo). The work is still held in deserved estimation. In 1738 he wrote an ingenious pamphlet, entitled Reflections on Polygamy. He also published (1740-42) An historical Account of the Life and Reign of David (3d ed. London, 1745, 2 vols. 8vo); in 1745-1763, Revelation examined with Candor (2 vols. 8vo); Twenty Sermons upon social Duties and their opposite Vices (Lond. 1750, 8vo); Sixteen Discourses on Doctrines and Duties (Lond. 1754, 8vo). He died at Bath, May, 1768. “He was a man of ability and learning, disposed occasionally to use his fancy, and to reason confidently on doubtful or 3 disputed premises; his works also greatly lack evangelical sentiment. His sentiments on many doctrines of Christianity were certainly peculiar, but then his mind was original, well-informed, and capacious” (Orme, Bibliotheca Biblica ). See Kippis, Biographia Britannica, v. 75. De La Rue SEE LA RUE. Deleda, or Theleda of the Peutinger Table, is identified by Ritter (Erdk. 17:1443) with Hasya, a village on the Damascus-Horns road, four hours east of Riblah (Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 307). Delegates, Court of The great court of appeal in all ecclesiastical causes in England is so called because the commissioners who form the court are appointed to represent the king, under his great seal. Delfau Dom Francois, a French theologian, was born at Moulet, in Auvergne, in 1637. He entered the congregation of St. Maur, and became specially known for his edition of the works of St. Augustine. He undertook this work by direction of the general of the congregation, upon whom the need of a new critical edition of the works of the great Church father had been urged by Arnaud. Delfau published in 1670 an announcement in which scholars generally were invited to support him with their advice and with manuscripts. The general of the congregation, by a circular to all the houses of the congregation, issued in the same year, requested each to cooperate with the editor in a work which promised to be of so great use to the Church. A full prospectus was published by Delfau in 1671. Great progress had been made in the preparation of the work, when suddenly Delfau was exiled to Saint Mahe, in Lower Brittany, charged with having published in 1673, under the assumed name of Bois-Franc, a work entitled L’Abbe commendataire, directed against the custom of giving ecclesiastical benefices in commendam. He perished by shipwreck Oct. 13, 1676. He is also the author of a defense (Apologie) of the cardinal de Furstemberg, who was arrested at Cologne by the troops of the emperor, and of an 4 Epitaph of king Casimir of Poland. — Hoefer, Biographie Generale, 13:457. Deli’lah (Heb. Delilah’, hl;ylæD], prob. languishing, sc. with lustful desire; Sept. Dalida>, Josephus Dalila>), a woman who dwelt in the valley of Sorek, beloved by Samson, (<071604>Judges 16:4-18). B.C. 1165. Her connection with Samson forms the third and last of those amatory adventures which in his history are so inextricably blended with the craft and prowess of a judge in Israel. She was bribed by the “lords of the Philistines” to win from Samson the secret of his strength, and the means of overcoming it. SEE SAMSON. It is not stated, either in Judges or Josephus, whether she was an Israelite or a Philistine. Nor can this question be determined by reference to the geography of Sorek, since, in the time of the judges, the frontier was shifting and indefinite. The following considerations, however, supply presumptive evidence that she was a Philistine: 1. Her occupation, which seems to have been that of a courtesan of the higher class, a kind of political Hetaera. This view is still more decided in Josephus (who calls her gunh< eJtairizome>nh, and associates her influence over Samson with po>tov and sunousi>a, Ant. v. 8, 11). He also states more clearly her relation as a political agent to the “lords of the Philistines” (µynær;s] Joseph. oiJ proestw~tev, oiJ a]rcontev Palaisti>nwn; Sept. a]rcontev, oiJ tou~ koinou~; magistrates, political lords, Milton, Sams. Ag. 850, 1195), employing under their directions “liers in wait” (breaoh;, to< e]nedron; comp. <060814>Joshua 8:14). On the other hand, Chrysostom and many of the fathers have maintained that Delilah was married to Samson (so Milton, 227), a natural but uncritical attempt to save the morality of the Jewish champion. See <071609>Judges 16:9,18, as showing an exclusive command of her establishment inconsistent with the idea of matrimonial connection (Patrick, ad loc.). There seems to be little doubt that she was a courtesan; and her employment as a political emissary, together with the large sum which was offered for her services (1100 pieces of silver from each lord = 5500 shekels; comp. <070303>Judges 3:3), and the tact which is attributed to her in Judges, but more especially in Josephus, indicates a position not likely to be occupied by any Israelitish woman at that period of national depression. SEE PHILISTINES. 5 2. The general tendency of the Scripture narrative: the sexual temptation represented as acting upon the Israelites from without (<042501>Numbers 25:1, 6; 31:15, 16). SEE HARLOT. 3. The special case of Samson (<071401>Judges 14:1; 16:1). In Milton Delilah appears as a Philistine, and justifies herself to Samson on the ground of patriotism (Sam. Ag. 850, 980). Dellius (De>lliov), QUINTUS, a favorite pimp of Antony, whose unprincipled officiousness came near embroiling Herod with Ventidius (Josephus, Ant. 14:15, 1; 15:2, 6; War, 1, 15:3). He was a Roman knight who was concerned in the civil wars under the triumvirate, and is frequently mentioned in classical history (Smith, Dict. of Class. Biog. s.v.). Delos SEE DELUS. Deluge Picture for Deluge 1 a term specifically applied in modern times to Noah’s flood, as related in <010708>Genesis 7:8. SEE FLOOD. I. Biblical History of the Flood. — The sacred historian informs us that in the ninth generation from Adam, when the race of man had greatly multiplied on the face of the earth, wickedness of every kind had fearfully increased, that every imagination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil continually, that the earth was filled with violence, and that to such a degree of depravity had the whole race come, that “it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.” We are further told, in graphic and impressive language, that the Creator determined to purge the earth from the presence of the creature whom he had made. “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.” — SEE ANTHIOPOMORPHISM. In the midst of a world of crime and guilt there was, however, one household, that of Noah, in which the fear of God still 6 remained. “Noah was a just man, and perfect in his generations, and walked with God.

Pierson' The study of the interrelationship between law and literature is currently very much in vogue, yet many aspects of it are still relatively unexamined. While a few select works are discussed time and time again, general children's literature, a formative part of a child's emerging notion of justice, has been only rarely considered, and the traditional fairy tale2 sadly ignored. This lack of attention to the first examples of literature to which most people are exposed has had a limiting effect on the development of a cohesive study of law and literature, for, as Ian Ward states: It is its inter-disciplinary nature which makes children's literature a particularly appropriate subject for law and literature study, and it is the affective importance of children's literature which surely elevates the subject fiom the desirable to the necessary.

    Volume 24, Issue 3 — September 8, 2019 September 8, 2019 Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary To the Members of the United States Association of Consecrated Virgins, One of the greatest challenges of celibates and virgins is to realize the primordial challenge from God that we be fertile and multiply. For us, the first part of responding to this challenge is to imagine how this is even possible. Obviously, this will be accomplished as a spiritual fecundity. Our life of prayer for the Church and the world, both in general and in particular is a primary way to fulfill this duty. Are there other ways? This will depend on our method of “living in the world.” Whatever it is that we do, be it Church work or completely secular labor, there we encounter fertile soil. Each of us then must determine how best we can help the Word of God take root, both by our example and by our words. God will give the increase, but we must plant seeds. Fecundity of any kind should always be the Inside this Issue Page result of love and therefore love is the primary seed which we Something Ancient - will plant.

  • Women in the Ancient Near East: a Sourcebook
    WOMEN IN THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST Women in the Ancient Near East provides a collection of primary sources that further our understanding of women from Mesopotamian and Near Eastern civiliza- tions, from the earliest historical and literary texts in the third millennium BC to the end of Mesopotamian political autonomy in the sixth century BC. This book is a valuable resource for historians of the Near East and for those studying women in the ancient world. It moves beyond simply identifying women in the Near East to attempting to place them in historical and literary context, follow- ing the latest research. A number of literary genres are represented, including myths and epics, proverbs, medical texts, law collections, letters and treaties, as well as building, dedicatory, and funerary inscriptions. Mark W. Chavalas is Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, where he has taught since 1989. Among his publications are the edited Emar: The History, Religion, and Culture of a Syrian Town in the Late Bronze Age (1996), Mesopotamia and the Bible (2002), and The Ancient Near East: Historical Sources in Translation (2006), and he has had research fellowships at Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Cal-Berkeley, and a number of other universities.

    El llegat dels germans Grimm en el segle xxi: del paper a la pantalla Emili Samper Prunera Universitat Rovira i Virgili [email protected] Resum Les rondalles que els germans Grimm van recollir als Kinder- und Hausmärchen han traspassat la frontera del paper amb nombroses adaptacions literàries, cinema- togràfiques o televisives. La pel·lícula The brothers Grimm (2005), de Terry Gilli- am, i la primera temporada de la sèrie Grimm (2011-2012), de la cadena NBC, són dos mostres recents d’obres audiovisuals que han agafat les rondalles dels Grimm com a base per elaborar la seva ficció. En aquest article s’analitza el tractament de les rondalles que apareixen en totes dues obres (tenint en compte un precedent de 1962, The wonderful world of the Brothers Grimm), així com el rol que adopten els mateixos germans Grimm, que passen de creadors a convertir-se ells mateixos en personatges de ficció. Es recorre, d’aquesta manera, el camí invers al que han realitzat els responsables d’aquestes adaptacions: de la pantalla (gran o petita) es torna al paper, mostrant quines són les rondalles dels Grimm que s’han adaptat i de quina manera s’ha dut a terme aquesta adaptació. Paraules clau Grimm, Kinder- und Hausmärchen, The brothers Grimm, Terry Gilliam, rondalla Summary The tales that the Grimm brothers collected in their Kinder- und Hausmärchen have gone beyond the confines of paper with numerous literary, cinematographic and TV adaptations. The film The Brothers Grimm (2005), by Terry Gilliam, and the first season of the series Grimm (2011–2012), produced by the NBC network, are two recent examples of audiovisual productions that have taken the Grimm brothers’ tales as a base on which to create their fiction.

    Originalveröffentlichung in: G. Leick (Hrsg), The Babylonian World, New York/London, 2007, S. 361-372 CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE DIVINATION CULTURE AND THE HANDLING OF THE FUTURE Stefan M. Maul n omen is a clearly defined perception understood as a sign pointing to future A events whenever it manifests itself under identical circumstances. The classification of a perception as ominous is based on an epistemological development which establishes a normative relationship between the perceived and the future. This classification process is preceded by a period of detailed examination and is thus initially built on empirical knowledge. Omina only cease to be detected empirically when a firm conceptual link has been established between the observed and the future which then allows omina to be construed by the application of regularities. In the Mesopotamian written sources from the first and second millennia BC, omina based on regularities far exceed those based on empirical data. Mesopotamian scholars generally collected data without formally expressing the fundamental principles behind their method. It was the composition of non-empirical omina as such which allowed students to detect the regularities on which they were based without this formulated orally or in writing. Modern attempts at a systematic investigation of such principles however, are still outstanding. It is interesting that there is no Sumerian or Akkadian equivalent for the terms 'oracle' or 'omen'. Assyriologists use the term omen for the sentence construction 'if x then y' which consists of a main clause beginning with summa ('if') describing the ominous occurence, and a second clause which spells out the predicted outcome.
