Engels | Hardback / gebonden | 9780884025306 | 2026 | 436 Pagina's
The¿Chronicle of Seert, a Middle Arabic history written in the late tenth or eleventh century, draws on earlier Syriac sources from the Church of the East dating back to the sixth and seventh centuries and is the¿richest repository of these earlier materials. It¿is a monument to a literature that is now mostly destroyed and an invaluable source for those studying Late Antique history, Eastern Christianity, and the medieval Christians who lived under Muslim rule.This volume is the first English translation of the portion of the¿Chronicle¿covering the period from 580 to 660, narrating the constant wars fought between the Roman Empire and Sassanid Persia as well as the arrival of Muhammad and the Muslim armies that upended the Late Antique world. But the¿Chronicle¿also includes extensive accounts of the theological controversies that beset the Church of the East, the monasteries and holy men that dotted the landscape, and political events within the Roman Empire from an outside perspective. Preserving a remnant of a lost, yet influential, history, the¿Chronicle allows us to see adaptations to a genre that was created in a Christian Roman Empire.

"Jackson tells delightful little stories through this unusual natural history guide. This is unusual because it's so uplifting. The GalÃ pagos Islands are a place of wonder, with such rich, abundant wildlife and natural history that readers will yearn to experience them first-hand and not just through a book. But this guide will do for a start. [Here] is the kind of book that belongs in every nature lover's library." -- Margaret Mironiwicz, The Globe and Mail "The book is more than a simple guide, it contains information gleaned from the extensive literature existing on the GalÃ pagos Islands, combining it with first-hand experience of the author, who worked in the archipelago as a naturalist guide and as a zoologist." -- Marinus Hoogmoed
