pp. (x) 178 + Publisher's broadsheet (1). 12mo. Damp and age stained. Stencil and manuscript ownerships of Robert Gill. Plain modern wraps. Swedish philosopher, scientist and religious writer, Emanuel Sewdenborg (Swedenbourg) [1688-1772] established himself as an inventor and scientist. He started having visions in 1743, and devoted himself thereafter to psychical and spiritual research. interpreting the scriptures as the immediate voice of God. He taught that all scripture contains an inner, spiritual sense which is not at all obvious from the natural sense of the word, or our understanding of the world. Among other things, he taught: that the universe is filled with inhabited planets, which are peopled by perfect human forms just like those on our earth; that their spirits in the spirit world can be seen and contacted, and he proceeds to describe some of their inhabitants ('Worlds in Space'); in 'Heaven and Hell' he describes in detail the heaven and hell of the spirit world, and how people and societies there function and are organized; in 'Divine Love and Wisdom' he describes the nature of that divine Spirit which emanates from the Deity, called in the scriptures the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost, and which appears in the spirit world as the sun, and gives light and heat to the inhabitants of that world - its light having the effect of intelligence, and its heat having the effect of love; in 'The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Concerning the Lord' he discusses the spiritual interpretation of the doctrine of the Godhead; Etc. Although he never preached publicly or formally founded a religious sect, his followers which included many artisits and freethinkers (among them William Blake) constituted a considerable society which became known as the New Jerusalem Church.

Gute, stabile Exemplare / 4 BÄNDE; Einbände mit leichten Lagerspuren und stw. gering fleckig. - Italienisch und Deutsch / die deutsche Übersetzung in Frakturschrift. - Torquato Tasso (* 11. März 1544 in Sorrent; † 25. April 1595 in Rom) war ein italienischer Dichter des 16. Jahrhunderts, der Zeit der Gegenreformation. Am bekanntesten wurde er durch das Epos La Gerusalemme liberata (Das befreite Jerusalem, ins Deutsche auch als Gottfried von Bulljon übersetzt), in dem er ein fiktives Gefecht zwischen Christen und Muslimen am Ende des Ersten Kreuzzuges während der Belagerung von Jerusalem beschreibt ... Im Jahr 1560 begann Torquato Tasso in Padua mit dem Studium der Rechtswissenschaften, besuchte aber im Jahr darauf nur noch Vorlesungen in Philosophie und Sprachfertigkeit bei Francesco Piccolomini (1520-1604) und Carlo Sigonio. In jenen Jahren gehörte Tasso auch einem privaten Kreis von Gelehrten rund um Sperone Speroni an. In dieser Umgebung arbeitete er intensiv an der Fertigstellung des Rinaldo. Das erzählende Gedicht wurde im Sommer 1562 mit einer Widmung an Luigi d'Este, den damaligen Dienstherrn von Bernardo Tasso, veröffentlicht. … (wiki) // Das befreite Jerusalem (ital.: La Gerusalemme liberata) ist ein Epos von Torquato Tasso. Tasso arbeitete über 15 Jahre an seinem Hauptwerk, das er im April 1574 vollendete. … Das Werk beschreibt die anfängliche Uneinigkeit und die Rückschläge der Christen bei der Eroberung Jerusalems und ihren schließlichen Erfolg. Am Anfang des Werkes klagt sich Sofronia, eine christliche Jungfrau aus Jerusalem, selbst eines Verbrechens vor dem moslemischen Herrscher Jerusalems an, um dadurch ein allgemeines Massaker an der christlichen Minderheit in Jerusalem zu verhindern. Ihr Geliebter Olindo versucht sie zu retten, und bezichtigt sich daher ebenfalls eines Verbrechens vor dem islamischen Herrscher. Clorinda, eine jungfräuliche Kriegerin, schließt sich in Jerusalem den Moslems an. Der christliche König Tankred verliebt sich in sie. Während einer nächtlichen Schlacht, in der Clorinda einen christlichen Belagerungsturm in Brand setzt, wird sie versehentlich von Tankred getötet. Bevor sie stirbt, konvertiert sie zum Christentum und wird von Tankred getauft. (Der Charakter der Clorinda ist durch Vergils Figur Camilla und durch Ariosts Bradamante aus Orlando furioso inspiriert.) Die Umstände von Clorindas Geburt, die als Albina von äthiopischen Eltern geboren wurde, sind Motiven aus dem Roman Aithiopika von Heliodorus von Emesa nachgebildet. Erminia (in deutschen Übersetzungen oft "Hermine"), eine Jungfrau aus Antiochia, verliebt sich in Tankred und fleht die Bevölkerung Jerusalems an, ihm zu helfen. Doch als sie feststellt, dass Tankred Clorinda liebt, wird sie eifersüchtig. Eines Nachts stiehlt sie die Rüstung von Clorinda und verlässt Jerusalem, um Tankred zu suchen. Aber sie wird von christlichen Soldaten, die sie mit Clorinda verwechseln, angegriffen, und so flieht sie in einen nahegelegenen Wald. Dort wird sie von einer Schafhirtenfamilie umsorgt. Im weiteren Verlauf des Werkes tritt sie in Begleitung von Anhängerinnen der Zauberin Armida auf, schließlich aber verlässt sie die moslemische Bevölkerung und wechselt zur christlichen Seite. Als Tankred im Kampf schwer verwundet wird, heilt sie ihn. … (wiki)

Jerusalem in photographs from past to present.= Fotograflarla dünden bugüne Kudüs. Photographs (old); IRCICA archives. Photographs (new); Khaled Zaghari. Project managers; Halit Eren, Sefer Turan. This album was published within the framework of the 40th anniversary commemoration of the OIC, which has the problem of al-Quds and Palestine as its foremost cause. Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Secretary General of the OIC, wrote the Foreword. As he mentions, preservation of the multicultural character of the city with due respect of the populations and the shrines of each faith is an indispensable part of any acceptable solution of the problem. This character is well reflected in the authentic photographs in the album. Due to its special importance, al-Quds/Jerusalem was visited and described by many travelers. Then, the region became the first place of interest of the pioneer photographers. The Ottoman Palace was among the first in the world to acquire photographs of the region. The Yildiz photograph collection which was formed during the reign of Sultan Abdülhamid II contains a large number of them. The album contains the reproductions of 405 photographs gathered from IRCICA's archive comprising the Yildiz Photograph Albums and several other collections.
