Best.-Nr. B9780567700636Paperback / softback. New. Jan A. Sigvartsen seeks to examine the immense interest in life after death and speculation about the fates awaiting both the righteous and the wicked that proliferated in the Second Temple period. In this volume Sigvartsen explores the Apocrypha and the apocalyptic writings in the Pseudepigrapha. He identifies the numerous afterlife and resurrection beliefs and presents an analysis that enables readers to easily understand and compare the wide-ranging beliefs regarding the afterlife that these texts hold. A careful reading of these resurrection passages including passages appearing in Sirach Maccabees the Sibylline Oracles and the Ezra texts reveals that most of the distinct views on life-after-death regardless of their complexity show little evidence of systematic development relational to one another and are often supported by several key passages or shared motifs from texts that later became a part of the TaNaKh. Sigvartsen also highlights the factors that may have influenced the development of so many different resurrection beliefs; including anthropology the nature of the soul the scope of the resurrection the number and function of judgments and the final destination of the righteous and the wicked. Sigvartsen's study provides a deeper understanding of how the "TaNaKh" was read by different communities during this important period and the role it played in the development of the resurrection belief - a central article of faith in both Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism. paperback
Best.-Nr. B9780567700599Paperback / softback. New. Jan A. Sigvartsen seeks to examine the immense interest in life after death and speculation about the fates awaiting both the righteous and the wicked that proliferated in the Second Temple period. In this volume Sigvartsen analyses the texts of the Pseudepigrapha identifies the numerous afterlife and resurrection beliefs they contain and presents an analysis of these beliefs and how they functioned in the Second Temple period. A careful reading of these diverse resurrection passages - from testaments to wisdom philosophical literature and prayers - reveals that most of these distinct life-after-death views regardless of their complexity show little evidence of systematic development relational to one another and are often supported by several key passages or shared motifs from texts that later became a part of the TaNaKh. This volume examines testaments from Adam to the Twelve Patriarchs expansions of stories and legends such as Joseph and Aseneth and the ladder of Jacob and texts such as 4 Maccabees before finally considering the posthumous body the nature of the soul and anthropological implications. Sigvartsen's study provides a deeper understanding of how texts that later became a part of the TaNaKh were read by different communities during this important period and the role they played in the development of the resurrection belief - a central article of faith in both Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism. This volume is a companion to Sigvartsen's work on afterlife and resurrection in the Apocrypha and the apocalyptic literature of the Pseudepigrapha. paperback

1999Best.-Nr. 26915University Park:: Penn State Press 1999. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Very Good plus dust jacket with light sunning to the spine that is common wtih this title. In Le Tumulte noir Jody Blake focuses on the impacts of African sculpture and African-American music and dance on Parisian popular entertainment and modernist art literature and performance. Blake discusses the reception of ragtime-era and jazz-age entertainment as well as other African visual and performing art forms to provide new ways of understanding the development of modernist primitivism from Matisse and Picasso to Futurism Dada Surrealism and Purism. But the influence of art nÈgre went well beyond the avant-garde art world. Starting with the cakewalk of the 1900s and culminating with the Charleston of the 1920s the book studies the African-American idioms that were involved in larger cultural social and political developments. As an illustration Blake argues that performers such as Josephine Baker and Sidney Bechet of Revue nÈgre fame were thought to affect the political balance between Africa and Europe during the colonial period. Le Tumulte noir is divided into six chronological chapters each a well-researched well-conceived and well-written synthesis of the histories of art literature music and dance.

Best.-Nr. 6174LONG ISLAND. This scrapbook displays photographs taken between 1887-1889 that capture a wealthy familys life on Long Island during the Gilded Age. The term The Gilded Age created by Mark Twain refers to the period of the late nineteenth century typically the 1870s through the turn of the 20th century during which rapid economic growth rapid industrialization and widespread European immigration primarily unskilled labor transformed the economies of the Northern and Western United States. According to the United States Census the era saw a real wage growth of 40% from 1860 to 1890 with the average annual wage per industrial worker including men women and children rising from $380 in 1880 $11523 in 2022 dollars to $584 in 1890 $18370 in 2022 dollars a gain of 59%. This rise in wealth resulted in the rise of a New Money elite those who made their money not through generational wealth and family connections but rather through oil the railroads and other rising industries. They are best exemplified by John D. Rockefeller Jay Gould Henry Clay Frick Andrew Mellon Andrew Carnegie Henry Flagler J. P. Morgan Leland Stanford and Cornelius Vanderbilt. New York was often at the center of the Gilded Age as the worlds dominant financial market and the nations leader in economic investment immigration political corruption and culture. This scrapbook contains 59 black-and-white photographs. They are affixed or mounted to 43 of 70 pages in the album. 29 of the photographs are 3.5 x 4.5 19 are 6.5 x 4.5 and 11 are 5.5 x 7.5. Two of these images are cyanotypes. Though the family is not named in the album and photographs with names underneath lead to nothing online there is a photograph in front of a house labeled Westbrook. The Westbrook estate on Long Island was designed in 1886 for William Bayard Cutting 18501912 by the architect Charles C. Haight in the Tudor Revival style. It contained the first private golf course in the United States and is now a part of a state park called the Bayard-Cutting Arboretum. Cutting started the sugar beet industry in the United States in 1888 was a builder of railroads operated the ferries of New York City his maternal grandfather was a partner of Robert Fulton and developed part of the south Brooklyn waterfront Red Hook. Images include a large extended family repeatedly and leisurely photographed the Harvard-Yale sailing race in 1887 at New London young men likely Yale students yachting and relaxing on a boat named the Princess and beautiful images of the scenery and waters of Long Island. Overall the album is in good shape. One photograph is damaged and several others have minor tears or chips. The scrapbook is half-leather and half-cloth so the spine is worn and the corners are rubbed and bumped. Regardless the scrapbook is a prize for anyone interested in this fascinating and relevant era in American history. It provides fantastic insight into the life of a wealthy Long Island family including what they did what they wore and how they presented themselves to each other and their neighbors. hardcover
