1957Fine Fine German Original yellow cloth bdg. Dust wrapper. Cr. 8vo. (19 x 12 cm). In German. 415, [1] p. Edition of this book which was translated by Rosen, directly from Turkish text. Tutinama literal meaning "Tales of a Parrot", is a 14th-century series of 52 stories in Persian. The work remains well-known largely because of a number of lavishly illustrated manuscripts, especially a version containing 250 miniature paintings was commissioned by the Mughal Emperor, Akbar in the 1550s. The Persian text used was redacted in 14th century AD from an earlier anthology 'Seventy Tales of the Parrot' in Sanskrit compiled under the title Sukasaptati (a part of katha literature) dated to the 12th century AD. In India, parrots (in light of their purported conversational abilities) are popular as storytellers in works of fiction. Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Rosen, (1820-1891), was a German (Lippe / Prussian) orientalist and diplomat. He studied in Berlin and Leipzig. From 1844, he was a dragoman at the Prussian embassy in Constantinople. From 1853 he was the Prussian consul in Jerusalem. From 1867 he was Consul General of the North German Confederation (from 1871, the German Empire) in Belgrade. In 1875, Rosen returned to Detmold, where, in May 1907, the Rosenstraße was named in his honor.
2022About The Book : The Kath?sarits?gara is a large work. Each book comprises a number of stories loosely strung together, by being narrated for the recreation or information of the same individuals, or arising out of their adventures. These are Udayana, king of Kosambi, and his son Naravahanadatta. The marriage of the latter with various damsels of terrestrial or celestial origin, and his elevation to the rank of king of the Vidyadharas, a class of heavenly spirits, are the leading topics of most of the books; but they merely constitute the skeleton of the composition, the substance being made up of stories growing out of these circumstances, or springing from one another with an ingenuity of intricacy which is one of the great charms of all such collections. About The Author : Somadeva Bhatta was an eleventh century writer from Kashmir.Not much is known about him except that his father's name was Rama and he composed his work (probably during the years 1063-81 CE) for the entertainment of the queen Suryamati, a princess of Jalandhara and wife of King Ananta of Kashmir. The queen was quite distraught as it was a time when the political situation in Kashmir was 'one of discontent, intrigue, bloodshed and despair'.Though he was a Shaiva Brahmin, he was respectful of Buddhism and some of the tales in the Kathasaritsagara show Buddhist influences.Revised by Pansikar Wasudev Laxman Sastri has written famous books, like, Panchdashi with commentary; Yajnavalkya with the commentary, Kavyapradipa (An old and rare book); and many more, the master piece of all is The Ramayana of Valmeki a curious amalgamation of the aforementioned three mediums of teaching.

1780réf. 709421780. Ort nicht sicher wohl Augsburg um 1780. Kupferstich. Plattengröße: 160 × 115 mm. Blattgröße: 210 × 162 mm. - Gottlieb Fried Riegel sc. Die Legende "Apud Achill: Matthaeum in marmore" verweist auf eine antike Marmorbüste des Thales nach der der Stich gearbeitet ist. Gottlieb Friedrich Riegel 1724-1784 Augsburger Kupferstecher schuf zahlreiche Bildnisse und Ansichten oft nach fremden Vorlagen. Folgeblatt innerhalb einer Serie antiker Philosophenporträts bestimmt für gelehrte Porträtsammlungen und/oder als Frontispiz zu philosophischen oder historischen Werken. Das Bild zeigt die Marmorbüste des Thales auf einem vorspringenden Kartuschenpostament eingefasst von einem streng rechteckigen Rahmen mit ornamental betonten Ecken; der Körper der Büste bleibt skizzenhaft während Gesicht und Haar plastisch ausgearbeitet sind. Die klare Linienführung die glatten Lichtflächen der Skulptur und die feine Rahmendekoration entsprechen dem spätbarock-klassizistischen Porträtstich des späten 18. Jahrhunderts und betonen den Charakter einer musealen Sammlungsansicht. Thales von Milet um 624-ca. 546 v. Chr. war milesischer Politiker Kaufmann und einer der frühesten Naturphilosophen; antike Autoren zählen ihn zu den "Sieben Weisen". Ihm werden u.a. "die Vorausberechnung einer Sonnenfinsternis geometrische Sätze über Kreis und Dreieck und die Lehre dass Wasser das Urprinzip arche aller Dinge sei" zugeschrieben. Auch wenn seine Gestalt nur aus spätere Überlieferung bekannt ist gilt Thales als Symbolfigur für den Übergang von mythischen zu rationalen Erklärungsmodellen der Natur; das Porträt als klassische Büste knüpft an diese kanonisierte Rolle an. Thales wird seit der Renaissance in Philosophen- und Gelehrtengalerien geführt; sein Bildnis erscheint in Druckfolgen Buchillustrationen und Skulpturenreihen die die Genealogie der "Vorsokratiker" visualisieren. Der hier vorliegende Stich Riegels trägt zu dieser Tradition bei indem er Thales als museal präsentierte antike Büste zeigt und damit für Bibliotheken und Kunstkammern des 18. Jahrhunderts anschlussfähig macht. "Kahn Charles H.: Anaximander and the Origins of Greek Cosmology. New York: Columbia University Press 1960 pp. 1-25 Abschnitt zu Thales." "Kirk G. S.; Raven J.
