As the first major military crisis to directly strike one of the Empire’s most important possessions: the Massachusetts Bay Colony, King Philip’s War marked the first time that Massachusetts had to mobilize mass numbers of ordinary, local men to fight. In this exhaustive social history and community study of Essex County, Massachusetts’s militia, Kyle F. Zelner boldly challenges traditional interpretations of who was called to serve during this period.Drawing on muster and pay lists as well as countless historical records, Zelner demonstrates that Essex County’s more upstanding citizens were often spared from impressments, while the “rabble” — criminals, drunkards, the poor— were forced to join active fighting units, with town militia committees selecting soldiers who would be least missed should they die in action. Enhanced by illustrations and maps, A Rabble in Arms shows that, despite heroic illusions of a universal military obligation, town fathers, to damaging effects, often placed local and personal interests above colonial military concerns.Warfare and culture series.King Philip's War, 1675-1676ImpressmentHistoryEssex County (Mass.)History17th centuryNew EnglandHistoryColonial period, ca. 1600-1775King Philip's War, 1675-1676.ImpressmentHistory.973.2/4Zelner Kyle F1947566MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911105943903321A rabble in arms4703235UNINA01744nam 2200373zu 450 991111900260332120260415132937.0(CKB)44902905100041on1549664872(ItFiC)6105365(EXLCZ)994490290510004120260109|2020uuuu || |Itaur|||||||||||Lo strano caso di Charles Valentin Alkan vita e musica di un genio dimenticato /Vincenzo MaltempoBari Florestano2020463 pages illustrationsCharles-Valentin Alkan (1813-1888), composer, and pianist.88-31486-03-9 Includes bibliographical references (pages 449-455) and index.Discography: pages 457-459.Sulla musica di Charles Valentin Alkan è calato gradualmente, fin da quando egli era ancora in vita, un impietoso velo di silenzio che solo in tempi recenti sta per essere sollevato del tutto.

During the height of Muslim power in Mughal South Asia, Hindu and Muslim scholars worked collaboratively to translate a large body of Hindu Sanskrit texts into the Persian language. Translating Wisdom reconstructs the intellectual processes and exchanges that underlay these translations. Using as a case study the 1597 Persian rendition of the Yoga-Vasistha—an influential Sanskrit philosophical tale whose popularity stretched across the subcontinent—Shankar Nair illustrates how these early modern Muslim and Hindu scholars drew upon their respective religious, philosophical, and literary traditions to forge a common vocabulary through which to understand one another. These scholars thus achieved, Nair argues, a nuanced cultural exchange and interreligious and cross-philosophical dialogue significant not only to South Asia’s past but also its present.HinduismRelationsIslamHinduismSacred booksTranslatingHistoryIslamRelationsHinduismHISTORY / Asia / India & South AsiabisacshHinduismRelationsIslam.HinduismSacred booksTranslatingHistory.IslamRelationsHinduism.HISTORY / Asia / India & South Asia.294.5/1570954Nair Shankar, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1217136DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9911119826903321Translating Wisdom2814897UNINA
