Ottoman soldiers and their Kurdish and Persian militia partners subjected hundreds of thousands of Assyrians to a deliberate and systematic campaign of massacre, torture, abduction, deportation, impoverishment, and cultural and ethnic destruction. Established principles of international law outlawed this war of extermination against Ottoman Christian civilians before it was embarked upon, and ample evidence of genocidal intent has surfaced in the form of admissions by Ottoman officials. Nevertheless, the international community has been hesitant to recognize the Assyrian experience as a form of genocide.

  • Hans Albert CV Born in Cologne (Germany) 1921; Now Living in Heidelberg
    Hans Albert CV born in Cologne (Germany) 1921; now living in Heidelberg. 1950 Degree as a Diplom-Kaufmann 1952 Academic degree of a Dr. rer.pol. 1952-1958 Assistant at the Forschungsinstitut für Sozial- und Verwaltungswissenschaften University of Cologne 1957 Degree of a Dr. habil. for Social Politics at the University of Cologne. As a lecturer he was reading logic, theory of science and economics of the welfare state. 1958 when participating the Alpbacher Hochschulwochen (a famous summer conference in the beautiful Austrian alpine village Alpbach) he made the acquaintance of Karl Popper after having studied Popper's philosophy and mostly accepted it long ago. Since 1955 he had exciting discussions with Paul Feyerabend, who in those days was a critical rationalist and an admirer of Karl Popper. In 1963 Albert got the chair of Social Sciences and General Studies of Methods (later 'Sociology and Studies of Economics') at the Wirtschaftshochschule Mannheim (later University of Mannheim). 1961-1969 the so called Positivismusstreit, i.e. the debate concerning positivism within German sociology during the 1960's, Albert then participated the meanwhile famous Conference of the German Society of Sociology (Tagung der deutschen Gesellschaft für Soziologie) 1961 in Tübingen. It was there where a debate about the status of values in the Sciences started, which was later called "Positivismusstreit" (dispute concerning positivism) though in the beginning there was no dispute about positivism. But in 1963 the discussion was continued by Jürgen Habermas (in the "Festschrift für Adorno" and 1964 on the "Soziologentag", conference on sociology, in Heidelberg) and Hans Albert. The famous dispute culminated in a collection of essays published in 1969 (engl.: The Positivist Dispute in German Sociology, London 1976, Harper Torchbook 1976) and 1967 Marktsoziologie und Entscheidungslogik.

A 1907 guidebook to the Austro-Hungarian pilgrimage site of Mariazell carried the following enigmatic line: “The traveler who, while visiting Mariazell, wishes to combine the pleasant and the T— useful for whom the pilgrimage should be at the same time an excursion into the mountains—will find a series of pretty promenades that lead him only a short way out of town and require absolutely no exertion.”1 The author most likely thought the meaning of this somewhat banal passage was completely clear. But the historian must wonder what exactly was “pleasant” and what was “useful” for the traveler to Mariazell. Was it pleasant to contemplate the majesty of God and the clemency of the Virgin Mary and useful to exercise one’s body in the fresh, mountain air—even without exertion? Or was it useful to demonstrate one’s piety and devotion via pilgrimage and dutiful time spent in mass, but pleasant to stroll through the temple of nature, admiring local flora and fauna along the way? Both of these interpretations are as truthful as they are possible, and their coexistence exemplifies a quintessential duality of religious tourism in the nineteenth century.

  • 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.

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 ..

ABSTRACT Faith and Understanding: the Reforms of Nikolaus Cusanus Written by Joseph E. Sych Thesis to satisfy the requirements of the Degree of Master of Arts University of Richmond Barbara Anna Sella, Ph.D., Advisor This paper explores the reform ideas of Nikolaus Cusanus, Bishop ofBrixen, and Cardinal of St. Peter in Chains. It demonstrates the centrality ofreform to the life of Cusanus, and traces the development of his reform ideas. To accomplish this, several of Cusanus' works are utilized, including De concordantia catholica, De docta ignorantia, De quaerendo Deum, several of his sermons, as well as Reformatio genera/is, which contains his reform ideas in their most mature stage of development. The paper argues that Cusanus' reform concept was formulated early, but was later influenced by the emergence of mystical and nominalistic forces. I certify that I have read this thesis and find that, in scope and quality, it satisfies the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts.

  • Chaldeans Between Iraq and America
    The Politics of Minority Chaldeans between Iraq and America by Yasmeen S. Hanoosh A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Near Eastern Studies) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Carol B. Bardenstein, Chair Professor Kevork B. Bardakjian Emeritus Professor Ernest N. McCarus Associate Professor Andrew J. Shryock Assistant Professor Nadine C. Naber ©Yasmeen S. Hanoosh All rights reserved 2008 To the memory of my mother, who did not have the luxury to contemplate her Chaldean identity ii Acknowledgements The specter of the Ancient Chaldeans stalks this dissertation throughout, and I must begin by expressing my gratitude to their civilization. Without the Ancient Chaldeans, the collective identity of the modern Chaldeans which I have tried to understand and discuss in the ensuing chapters would not have been imagined the same way. Gratitude to the Ancient Chaldeans also necessitates thanking many living Chaldeans, some who have understood the ancients in ways different from mine; others who have inspired me to seek the necessary analytical skills to approach notions of Chaldeanness; and others still who are part of the theoretical problematic of the dissertation, the theme of the historic diasporic imaginary. I have uncharacteristically many individuals to thank for their impact on my doctoral work. I thank first my advisor Carol Beth Bardenstein to whom my indebtedness is enormous. Not only has she been a most nurturing dissertation advisor and attentive reader, but she also constantly alerted me to contemporary discussions about diaspora, identity and collective memory, and ensured that my research did not become too antiquated throughout the prolonged period of dissertation writing.
