  • Manuscript Preparation and Style Figure Legend Style
    Manuscript Preparation And Style I Tatti Studies in the Italian Renaissance is edited according to the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition (Chicago, 2010). 1. Manuscripts should be arranged in the following order: text, appendixes, notes, tables, figure legends. Of course, not all manuscripts will have all of these components. 2. The entire manuscript must be double spaced, including all epigraphs, block quotations within the text, and notes, as well as any appendixes, tables, and figure legends. 3. Page numbers should appear in the top right-hand corner of each page. 4. Paragraphing should be indicated with indentations, not with extra space between paragraphs. 5. Section headings may be included if desired. However, there should be none for the initial section (esp. not “Introduction”), to facilitate typesetting the opening decorative text for every article. 6. Italics should be indicated with an italic typeface, not underlining. Please note that University of Chicago Press style discourages the use of italics for emphasis. 7. Quotation marks should always be double, not single; single quotation marks should be used only to set off quotations within quotations. 8. Punctuation with quotation marks: periods and commas at the ends of quotations should go inside the closing quotation mark. Other punctuation (colons, semicolons, question marks, exclamation points) should go outside unless part of the quotation. 9. Block quotations should generally be restricted to quoted material of more than 100 words. Shorter quotations should usually be run into the text. 10. Notes must be provided in the manuscript in the form of endnotes. (They will be typeset later as footnotes, but the manuscripts must be processed with endnotes.) No individual note should be longer than one manuscript page, as this makes it difficult for the typesetter to keep note numbers and note text on the same printed pages.

  • A Study in Reformation Origins Thesis, Submitted to the University
    FRANCIS LAMBERT OF AVIGNON: (1487-1530) A Study in Reformation Origins ROY LUTZ rt INTERS Thesis, submitted to the University of Edinburgh, Faculty of Divinity, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. 1936 II PREFACE The purpose of tnis dissertation is to present for the first time to English readers an account of the life of Fran­ cis Lambert of Avignon as well as to show the place which he filled in the drama of the Reformation. Various short sketches of his career are found in French, German and Latin writings and many references to him have been made by English historians. A German, Johann Wilhelm Baum, produced in 1840 a biography entitled "Franz Lambert von Avignon", which is rated as the best work on this subject. But as far as the writer is aware no competent study has appeared in English. To obtain first hand information of the activities in wnich the subject of this thesis engaged, the author visited a number of the places in which Lambert lived and laboured. Included among these are Basel, Eisenach, Frankenberg, Homberg, karburg, Metz, Strasbourg, Wittenberg and Zurich. An endeavour is made in the following pages to depict the man in his various aspects - as friar, as wanderer for the sake of the Gospel and as reformer and theological professor; and at the same time to outline uis scheme of church government and the religious doctrines tnat animated, him. It has been our aim, further.nore, to sicetcn briefly the bacK^round of his life-story, to set, as it were, the stage for his achievements.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Theses and Dissertations by an authorized administrator of Digital Commons @ ACU. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT The text that this thesis examines is most commonly referred to by modern scholars as the Apocalypse of Pseudo-Ezra (Ps.-Ezra). It is a historical apocalyptic text that claims authorship by the biblical character Ezra, but there is no question that it is the pseudonymous product of a much later Syriac-speaking Christian author who writes in response to the Arab conquests and subsequent consolidation of Arab political and religious dominance under the caliphate. Ps.-Ezra is a brief work, but an enigmatic one, and has received only scant scholarly attention. Although nineteenth- century translations based on three individual manuscripts were made into German, French, and English respectively, no critical edition or full-scale study based on multiple manuscripts has yet appeared.

  • The Church of the East: a Concise History/Wilhelm Baum & Dietmar W
    THE CHURCH OF THE EAST The Church of the East is currently the only complete history in English of the East Syriac Church. It covers the periods of the Sas- sanians, Arabs, Mongols, Ottomans, and the twentieth century, with information about the Syriac, Iranian, and Chinese documentation of this unique and almost forgotten part of Christendom. “This is an important book. It tells the story concisely of the ‘Church of the East’ . established in east Syria but principally in Parthia beyond Rome’s eastern frontier.... It was associated with the doctrinal view of the deposed patriarch of Constantinople, Nestorius, and was known as the Nestorian Church.... Today, it has survived as a small minority in parts of Persia and Iraq, and it has more adherents in the US than in its ancient homeland.... This is the best short history of the Church of the East to date . a fine, scholarly work, bringing to the notice of students the wealth of the spiritual and theological legacy as well as the sheer missionary drive of this now half-forgotten Church. As a book it will not easily be replaced, and it is a credit to its authors and publishers alike.” W. H. C. Frend, University of Cambridge “There has long been a need for a reliable book in English on the history of the Church of the East which also gives good coverage to the position of this ancient Syriac Church in the context of modern ecumenical discussion. It is most welcome that this need is now met by Baum and Winkler in this translation of their German book.” Sebastian Brock, University of Oxford “Baum and Winkler have done us good service in providing this easily accessible account of the Church of the East ..
