Sommario/riassunto |
|
An edition of the scholarly letters of the English Lady E. S. Drower, famous for her novels, travel accounts, and studies in the Middle East, especially on the Mandaeans. Drower (1879‐1972) kept up a lively correspondence with scholars, and the letters here span the years 1938 to the mid 1960's. It presents a window on Near Eastern studies in the mid 20th century, from the viewpoint of an autodidact insisting on, and succeeding in, a place among the academics.. Correspondence with many famous scholars and intellectuals are included, such as Cyrus H. Gordon, Rudolf Macuch, Sidney H. Smith, Godfrey R. Driver, Samuel H. Hooke, and Franz Rosenthal. The letters focus on four of Lady Drower's main books: The Book of the Zodiac (1949), Water into Wine (1956), A Mandaic Dictionary (with Rudolf Macuch, 1963), and Drowers hoped |

Titolo |
A right dividing, or a true discerning [[electronic resource] ] : shewing the use of the sword, and how and where it is in its place, and what it is to be laid upon. That that is not so much as a figure, the shadow of a thing, which answereth not the substance, but signifies nothing. And that such who are come to the life and substance are come to the end of all figures, in whom the figures and shadowes end. Given forth by a Friend of Israels commonwealth, whom by the strangers thereof, is reproachfully called a Quaker. W.S |
