Ellison, and the Online Distributed Proofing Team NATIONAL EPICS BY KATE MILNER RABB 1896 TO MY MOTHER. PREFACE. This volume is intended for an introduction to the study of the epics. While the simplicity and directness of the epic style seem to make such a page 1 / 589 book unnecessary, the fact that to many persons of literary tastes some of these great poems are inaccessible, and that to many more the pleasure of exploring for themselves "the realms of gold" is rendered impossible by the cares of business, has seemed sufficient excuse for its being. Though the beauty of the original is of necessity lost in a condensation of this kind, an endeavor has been made to preserve the characteristic epithets, and to retain what Mr. Arnold called "the simple truth about the matter of the poem." It is believed that the sketch prefacing each story, giving briefly the length, versification, and history of the poem, will have its value to those readers who have not access to the epics, and that the selections following the story, each recounting a complete incident, will give a better idea of the epic than could be formed from passages scattered through the text. The epic originated among tribes of barbarians, who deified departed heroes and recited legends in praise of their deeds. As the hymn developed, the chorus and strophe were dropped, and the narrative only was preserved. The word "epic" was used simply to distinguish the narrative poem, which was recited, from the lyric, which was sung, and from the dramatic, which was acted. As the nation passed from childhood to youth, the legends of the hero that each wandering minstrel had changed to suit his fancy, were collected and fused into one by some great poet, who by his power of unification made this written epic his own. page 2 / 589 This is the origin of the Hindu epics, the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey," the "Kalevala," the "Shah-Nameh," "Beowulf," the "Nibelungen Lied," the "Cid," and the "Song of Roland." The conditions for the production of the primitive epic exist but once in a nation's growth. Its later epics must be written on subjects of national importance, chosen by the poet, who arranges and embellishes his material according to the rules of the primitive epic. To this class belong the "Aeneid," the "Jerusalem Delivered," and the "Lusiad." Dante's poem is broader, for it is the epic of mediaeval Christianity. Milton likewise sought "higher argument" than "Wars, hitherto the only argument Heroic deemed," and crystallized the religious beliefs of his time in "Paradise Lost." The characteristics both of the primitive and the modern epic are their uniform metre, simplicity of construction, concentration of action into a short time, and the use of episode and dialogue. The main difference lies in the impersonality of the primitive epic, whose author has so skillfully hidden himself behind his work that, as some one has said of Homer, "his heroes are immortal, but his own existence is doubtful." Although the historical events chronicled in the epics have in every case page 3 / 589 been so distorted by the fancy of the poets that they cannot be accepted as history, the epics are storehouses of information concerning ancient manners and customs, religious beliefs, forms of government, treatment of women, and habits of feeling. Constructed upon the noblest principles of art, and pervaded by the eternal calm of the immortals, these poems have an especial value to us, who have scarcely yet realized that poetry is an art, and are feverish from the unrest of our time. If by the help of this volume any reader be enabled to find a portion of the wisdom that is hidden in these mines, its purpose will have been accomplished. My thanks are due to Mr. John A. Wilstach for the use of selections from his translation of the "Divine Comedy;" to Prof. J. M. Crawford, for the use of selections from his translation of the "Kalevala;" to Henry Holt & Co., for the use of selections from Rabillon's translation of "La Chanson de Roland;" to Roberts Brothers, for the use of selections from Edwin Arnold's "Indian Idylls;" to Prof. J.

THE RAMAYANA. "He who sings and hears this poem continually has attained to the highest state of enjoyment, and will finally be equal to the gods." The Ramayana, the Hindu Iliad, is variously ascribed to the fifth, third, and first centuries B.C., its many interpolations making it almost page 9 / 589 impossible to determine its age by internal evidence. Its authorship is unknown, but according to legend it was sung by Kuca and Lava, the sons of Rama, to whom it was taught by Valmiki. Of the three versions now extant, one is attributed to Valmiki, another to Tuli Das, and a third to Vyasa. Its historical basis, almost lost in the innumerable episodes and grotesque imaginings of the Hindu, is probably the conquest of southern India and Ceylon by the Aryans. The Ramayana is written in the Sanskrit language, is divided into seven books, or sections, and contains fifty thousand lines, the English translation of which, by Griffith, occupies five volumes. The hero, Rama, is still an object of worship in India, the route of his wanderings being, each year, trodden by devout pilgrims. The poem is not a mere literary monument,--it is a part of the actual religion of the Hindu, and is held in such reverence that the mere reading or hearing of it, or certain passages of it, is believed to free from sin and grant his every desire to the reader or hearer.

  • The Uzbek State As Reflected in Eighteenth Century * Bukharan Sources
    The Uzbek State as Reflected in Eighteenth Century * Bukharan Sources Wolfgang Holzwarth The combined research project on “Nomadic rule in a sedentary context – state formation in Central Asia, sixteenth and eighteenth century” focuses on nomads rather close to the political power centres. The states we are dealing with here, originated in a nomadic confederation conquering and migrating to a mixed agro-pastoral zone (Mawarannahr and Khurasan) around 1500. The conquest led by Muḥammad Shaybānī Khān was the last great inroad of pastoralists from the Great Steppe (the Dasht-i Qipchaq) into Mawarannahr, where Uzbek dynasties ruled until 1920. Some of the wide range of questions the project addresses are the following: How and to which extent have the Central Asian states been shaped by nomads since 1500? How and to what extent have nomadic conquerors been subjected to changes after they came from the Great Steppe to Mawarannahr? How and to what extent did the constraints of their new social and ecological environment affect their economic subsistence and mode of life? The combined project focuses, in particular, on the military and the state.1 An attempt is made to trace developments both in sphere of political interaction (between nomads and sedentary groups) and in the military sphere, for instance the participation of sedentary groups in military activities or the building-up of mixed (nomadic and non-nomadic) forces and groups upon which later dynasties, such as the Manghits in Bukhara could rely on. * A revised edition is published in: Asiatische Studien 60,2 (2006), 321–353. 1 Paul, “Documents”; id., “Nomaden”; id., “State and Military”; Holzwarth, “No- maden und Sesshafte”; Berndt, “Organisation”.

Since the five essays fall into two distinct groups, it has been decided to publish them in two volumes bearing different titles, namely, Studies in Islamic Poetry and Studies in Islamic Mysticism. The latter comprise (i) an account of the famous Persian Sufi, Abu Sa'id ibn Abi '1-Khayr dervish, abbot, saint, and reputed poet drawn from documents singularly rich in detail which shed a rather disillusioning light upon his character; (2) a study of 'Abdu '1-Karim al- Jili's treatise entitled al-Insdn al-Kdmil or "The Perfect Man," a very curious exposition of the Mohammedan Logos doctrine by a Muhyawf, i.e. one whose modes of thought are derived from Muhyi'ddin Ibnu 'l-'Arabi; (3) an essay on the Odes of Ibnu '1-Farid, which unite mysticism with poetry of the rarest kind, but are so veiled in allegory that a glimpse of the meaning underneath is sometimes as much as we can obtain.

In the Preface to his Roland l’Amoureux [Orlando in Love], Lesage URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1009165ar explains that his translation reflects the needs and tastes of his time. So, for DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/1009165ar example, in order to adapt the Italian poem to the rules of verisimilitude and propriety, Lesage modifies the original dispositio and inventio: he introduces more coherence in the narration, he eliminates all that was too irrational and See table of contents fantastic, he employs a polite language, he describes well-mannered and respectful behaviours, he changes several of the episodes to show his devotion towards royalty, and he transforms many adventures with the purpose of Publisher(s) respecting the concept, very important during his time, of the search for happiness. Lesage’s work can be considered successful: it has been read Association canadienne de traductologie throughout the 18th century and has been the subject of eight new editions until 1793.

Il n'est en effet pas possible de réduire toute son activité à la seule composition du «poème» 1, d'ignorer notamment ses œuvres latines et d'imaginer qu'il ait oublié sa culture humaniste durant les quinze dernières années de sa vie. Or, le contraste est évident entre ses œuvres mineures de goût humaniste (les œuvres latines, les Eglogues en italien , le Timon inspiré de Lucien) et son poème cheva- leresque modelé sur des œuvres populaires que les humanistes méprisaient volontiers. Son Canzoniere, dont le titre classicisant, Amorum libri, est signifi- catif, combine certes diverses sources, mais il apparaît précisément comme une tentative de synthèse raffinée dans laquelle la poésie latine et les thèmes néo- platoniciens viennent enrichir le legs de la poésie lyrique médiévale et du pé- trarquisme, ce qui semble fort éloigné de l'esprit général du poème, si éloigné même que Pier Vincenzo Mengaldo a pu parler d'un tel hiatus entre les deux œuvres, qu'on n'en saurait trouver d'équivalent dans l'histoire italienne toute entière 2.
