The-Unpublished-Origin-Of-Official-Christianity.Pdf April 25, 2019 Andreu Marfull Pujadas / [email protected] Link: https://andreumarfull.com/2019/04/07/el-origen-inedito-del-cristianismo/ This is the reconstruction of a chapter in the official history that, as a result of a certain spiritual design, creates a before and after of Christ that implies dilating history along with the creation of a legendary past in the form of sacred texts. For this reason, around Christ an imaginary is created that ends up becoming a historical character, incorporating myth and fiction. Content: The unpublished origin of official Christianity, a marriage and/or an Indian project • A scenario diametrically alternative to the official story • Second chronicle of the manuscript: Jesus, Thomas, the Magi, Prester John and John the Baptist • Jesus in Kashmir (India) • Horus, Buddha, Krishna, Jesus and the Cathars • Gnosticism of Nag Hammadi, 1945 • The Society of Jesus and the canonical gospels • First chronicle of the manuscript: The imposition of Christianity, the result of a marriage • Double sign of Prester John de Abyssinia • The reconstruction: An alliance between two empires, a marriage and the Prester John of Ethiopia. The Ark of the Covenant • The Pope of Rome is the Prester John • Discovering the reality • Solomon, Saba and Mary Magdalene • Genoa, the city of John • Everything is much more recent, and has been dilated in time • 1453-1486, 33 years of resurrection • Babylon has always been Cairo, which means "the victorious one" • Who reconstructed the story, originally? The Company of Jesus THE MANUSCRIPT • EL BECERRO General [“THE GENERAL BERTH”] • The Prester John and the King of the Abyssinian • The weapons of the Kingdom of Hierusalem About the rest of the manuscript • The symbols of the Count of Barcelona are transferred to the King of Aragon About the identity of the presumed author of the manuscript • The Cardinal Cisneros and the Holy Inquisition • The Counts of Ribagorza and Cortés • The Byzantine powers of the counts of Ribagorza and Cortés, Constantine and Saint George • The Luna and the Holy Chalice of Valencia About the owner of the manuscript Epilogue The unpublished origin of official Christianity, a marriage and/or an Indian project A scenario diametrically alternative to the official story This article tells how the faith of Christ was conceived as an agreed project, and its relation to the origin of Prester John, through the analysis of a manuscript. The same text use two different versions of the same facts, and it is exposed like an enigma. It tells how Christianity becomes dogma and its faith is conceived together with the authority of Prester John, but with two different stories that, according to the author of the manuscript, it is convenient to understand. In the first an alliance is established through a marriage between an Indian princess and a European gentleman, which gives rise to the imposition of Christianity. In the second, the appearance of Christ would have been a decision of three kings of the Indies, whose purpose would have been to create a spiritual leader in the image and likeness of the teachings of Patriarch Thomas. The source of this narrative is a real manuscript, dated between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (referred to an author of the fifteenth century), guarded in the Biblioteca Nacional de España (National Library of Spain) (1). The text of the manuscript is written in old Castilian, and (later) it has been transcribed in a way that is readable for the current English speakers, aided by notes in its interpretation. Therefore, in this manuscript appears one historical nonsense. Or, better said, many. First, he questions the historical character of Jesus, and invites us to think that it is a character devised in the Egyptian-Persian-Indian area of influence, in the manner of other equivalent icons. Second, it calls into question the authority 1 Title established for the manuscript: El Becerro general: libro en que se relata el blasón de las armas que trahen muchos reynos y imperios, señoríos ... y de la genealogía de los lynages de España y de los escudos de armas que trahen. Attributed to Diego Fernández de Mendoza. Physical description: 2 v. (I, H. 1- 329 [ie 324 h.]; 330-663). Signature: MSS / 18244 V.1; MSS / 18245 V.2. Link: rd.bne.es/viewer.vm?lang=es&id=0000135656&page=1 [Consultation in November 2018]. of the popes of Rome, as leaders of the Christian church since its inception, and grants this dignity to a prester (“borrower”), named John, who, on the other hand, appears as the singular leader of Eurasia in the Middle Ages, until the European colonization of the XV-XVI century, but from whose trace there is no collective consciousness. And, thirdly, he proposes a story very different from that of the Christian persecution, or martyrdom, of the first centuries, as well as the origin of Christianity as a state religion, which current official history attributes to Constantine, in the fourth century AD, who was also a contemporary of St. George. That is, there is a chronicle that has little or nothing to do with the official historical reality, which in turn tells us about a marriage between East and West. It is, then, a double chronicle without apparent sense, although it surprises for these and other aspects to be considered. For example, it does not refer to specific dates, and generates reasonable doubt about the time in which the events are located. But, perhaps, what awakens more suspicions is the fact that the author of the manuscript is considered a chronicler of King Ferdinand the Catholic, who grew up in the house of his half-brother the Count of Ribagorza and Cortés, and who worked at the service of the great Inquisitor of Castile, the Cardinal Cisneros. Of all this is spoken in this work. But let's begin with, perhaps, the most surprising chronicle, the version of the origin of the universal Christian project, attributed to three kings, to Thomas and to Prester John. Second chronicle of the manuscript: Jesus, Thomas, the Magi, Prester John and John the Baptist The analysis of its reading allows us to give an alternative meaning to Christ, Thomas, the Magi, Prester John and John the Baptist, referring to the established in the canons of the New Testament, and solve the historical enigma about its authenticity. By way of introduction, this is the result: The manuscript indicates that the spiritual icon [Christ] was the work of three wise men, called Melchior, Gaspar and Baltazar, who honored an ancestor named Patriarch Thomas whose teachings became the spiritual model for humanity. And it also indicates that this new icon would be a virgin and its power would be guarded by a lineage created for this purpose, that of Prester John. And what does the New Testament say about it? • The New Testament has transformed the role of the three kings into a metaphor. They worshiped Jesus, they did not create it, but their worship was due to a star that enlightened them and took them to Jerusalem. Since then, Christ is worshiped in Jerusalem, just as the temple of Solomon is worshiped and as the place from which Muhammad ascended into heaven, thus becoming the common holy city of the Judeo-Christian religions. • The New Testament has transformed the new guide into Jesus, and has conceived him as a virgin in life and in his conception, and has honored Thomas by making him his "twin". Likewise, in an exercise of symbolic honesty, he has created for Thomas the doubt he has about the true resurrection of Jesus. It represents, in this way, the evidence (indirect) that Thomas knew that he did not really come back to life, but that he was made in the image and likeness of the character he himself devised. • The New Testament has transformed Prester John, considered the leader of Eurasia throughout the Middle Ages, into John the Baptist, who blesses Jesus before the apostle Andrew. That is, John also blesses Jesus with a metaphorical story, which hides his double creation. In this way, beyond this singular alternative, there is an explanation of why in many Renaissance paintings Jesus and John are represented at the feet of Mary, as if they were two twin brothers. The doubts that this generates also point to the north of Persian India. Jesus in Kashmir (India) In this way, it is understood that Christ is related to his so-called "twin", Thomas. Thomas, according to the official Gospels of the New Testament, was a disciple of Jesus who is known for not believing in the resurrection of Christ, and for being called his twin. Likewise, there is a particular story between Jesus Christ and Thomas, which indicates that both went to the interior of Asia, to Kashmir, in a territory halfway to India, China and Pakistan. This chronicle, popularized in Spain by Andreas Faber-Kaiser (in 1976), indicates that his grave is venerated since then in Srinagar, the capital of Kashmir. With all this evidence appears, then, an unresolved puzzle that may have an explanation. Jesus was in India? The Kashmiri tradition asserts it, and this version is compatible with the meaning of the previous manuscript. That is to say, everything comes from India, in its origin, and at a certain moment it could have been venerated to Jesus in the form of a holy sepulcher in both Srinagar and Jerusalem, whose meaning, on the other hand, tells us about it. Jerusalem contains "hieros" and "shalom", which means "sacred peace". After all, PresterJohn is "from the Indies". This observation, with all that it represents, on the other hand, points to other spiritual singularities between the word of Jesus and other icons.

  • The Tubal Figure in Early Modern Iberian Historiography, 16Th and 17Th Century
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Revistes Catalanes amb Accés Obert THE TUBAL FIGURE IN EARLY MODERN IBERIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY, 16TH AND 17TH CENTURY MATTHIAS GLOËL UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA DE TEMUCO CHILE Date of receipt: 16th of May, 2016 Final date of acceptance: 13th of September, 2016 ABSTRACT This study is dedicated to the use of the biblical figure Tubal in early modern Iberian chronicles. The focus will be centered on how it is used in different ways in the different kingdoms (Castile, Aragon, Catalonia, Valencia, Portugal and the Basque Provinces and Navarre) and what the authors are trying to achieve through this. Results show that while Castilian authors try to prove Spanish antiquity with the Tubal settlement, in other kingdom, especially in Catalonia, Portugal and Navarre there is a more regional use of the myth. Most of these authors try to prove that their own kingdom is the territory where Tubal settled, which would give a pre-eminence of antiquity to it in comparison to the other Iberian territories.

Introduction Myths have always played an outstanding part in human history and they are without any doubt much older than science. This is also valid for chronicles or historiographical works. Christian historians in particular broke up the division between myth and history, which had been established by classical historiography.1 Only pagan stories remained myths, while the Bible gained the recognition of true history.2 Early Modern chronicles from the Iberian Peninsula are no exception to this phenomenon.

INDEX OF PERSONS page 300 INDEX OF ARTISTS page 306 PREFACE HE first and only catalogue of the collection of medals formed by Gustave Dreyfus appeared in I93 I. Its author was Sir George Hill, who had studied the collection in depth when it was still T in Dreyfus' hands in the Boulevard Malesherbes in Paris. In a prefatory note, Hill observed that 'keenly as Gustave Dreyfus appreciated all his beautiful things, he had a particularly soft place in his heart for the Italian medals, and ... he would have agreed with the German critic who declared that the medallic art was par excellence the art of the Renaissance, the expression of the quintessence of the spirit of that age.' The preface continues with the tribute: 'His was perhaps the finest collection that has ever been in the hands of a private collector - the "perhaps" might be omitted, but that it is difficult to range the great collections in a true perspective.' Thanks to the Kress Foundation, the Dreyfus collection of medals was not dispersed, like so many other medallic collections, but is preserved intact in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, where it bears out Hill's claim to be regarded as the finest private collection of medals ever to have been formed.

The order of the original manuscripts is somewhat chaotic, and we make no attempt here to make sense of it. There are 174 numbered paragraphs in the official version with no rubrics. Some of the paragraphs are quite short, as can be seen below; the longest (an elaborate form of oath for a Jew to take if he is to testify against a Christian) runs about four printed pages.

Despite this, no consensus has been reached among historians as to the reason for their continued use, with the notable exception of ensuring the production of a legitimate heir. This thesis will argue that the creation and maintenance of alliances was the most important motivating factor for English, Castilian and Aragonese monarchs. Territorial concerns, such as the protection and acquisition of lands, as well as attempts to secure peace between warring kingdoms, were also influential elements considered when arranging dynastic marriages. Other less common motives which were specific to individual marriages depended upon the political, economic, social and dynastic priorities of the time in which they were contracted.

    COAT OF ARMS OF KING FERDINAND THE CATHOLIC Kingdom of Naples(?), 1504-1512 Coat of Arms of King Ferdinand the Catholic Kingdom of Naples(?), 1504-1512 Marble 113 x 73.5 cm Carved out of marble, this coat of arms of King Ferdinand the Catholic represents both his lineage and his sovereignties. It is rectangular, with rounded inferior angles, ending in a point at the base and three points at the chief, a common shape in early sixteenth-century Spain. It is a quartered coat of arms, with its first and fourth quarters counterquartered with the arms of Castile-Leon, and its second and third quarters tierced per pale with the arms of Aragon, counterquartered per saltire with Sicily and counter-tierced with the arms of Hungary, Anjou and Jerusalem referring to Naples, besides the enté en point for Granada. It is crested by an open royal crown that has lost its rosette cresting, and it was originally supported by an eagle, as shown by the claws on the third and fourth quarters and the springing of the wings and the neck above the crown. Ferdinand the Catholic and the arms of Castile-Leon The counterquartered for Castile-Leon features, in the first and fourth quarters, a crenelated castle with three merlons, an emblem for the Castilian monarchs adopted by Alfonso VIII shortly before 1176 and, in the second and third quarters, the crowned lion rampant of the monarchs of Leon, of pre-heraldic origins, around the mid-eleventh century. The combination emerged as a symbol for the union of the kingdoms of Castile and Leon in 1230 effected by Ferdinand III the Saint.
