Cardinal Isidore

c. 1390-1462

A late byzantine scholar, warlord, and prelate

Marios Philippides - Walter K. Hanak, authors

Routledge

A member of the imperial Palaiologan family, albeit most probably illegitimate, Isidore became a scholar at a young age and began his rise in the Byzantine ecclesiastical ranks. He was an active advocate of the union of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches in Constantinople. His military exploits, including his participation in the defence of Constantinople in 1453, provide us with eyewitness accounts. Without doubt he travelled widely, perhaps more so than any other individual in the annals of Byzantine history: Greece, Asia Minor, Sicily, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, and Italy. His roles included diplomat, high ecclesiastic in both the Orthodox and Catholic churches, theologian, soldier, papal emissary to the Constantinopolitan court, delegate to the Council of Florence, advisor to the last Byzantine emperors, metropolitan of Kiev and all Russia, and member of the Vatican curia.

The grand design of God

The literary from of the Christian view of history

C.A. Patrides, author

Routledge

This book, originally published in 1972, offers a stimulating account of the Christian tradition of historiography as it is reflected in works of literature and history. The discussion ranges from the pre-Christian The Iliad up to the 1970s. The author considers subjects such as the Mystery Plays in the medieval synthesis, the nature of the evidence provided by the Renaissance authors in England and the Continent, the contemporary world. The book examines the attitudes of historians and at the use historians have made of the Christian view of history.

Alexandru D. Xenopol and the development of romanian historiography

Paul A. Hiemstra, author

Routledge

Despite the criticism of his peers and the inattention of his successors, Alexandru Xenopol provided Romanian nationalistic historiography with a greater measure of respectability, especially with the general public. By the time of WWI a strong sense of national identity had become entrenched as an intellectually respectable mentality among Romania’s literate classes. This book examines Xenopol’s participation in the creation of this mentality in Romania during decades that were crucial to the development of institutionalized intellectual life and and educted behaviour in that country.

Judit

Herders Theologischer Kommentar zum Alten Testament

barbara Schmitz - helmut Engel, authors

Herder Verlag

Im Mittelpunkt des Interesses an der Juditerzählung in Kunst und Literatur steht bis in die jüngste Zeit meist die Tötung des Generals Holofernes in seinem eigenen Zelt durch die schöne Witwe Judit. Demgegenüber entfaltet dieser Kommentar das theologische Profil der fiktionalen Erzählung und erläutert, wie sie auf die Bibel in ihrer griechischen Fassung Bezug nimmt und so die eigene Gegenwart theologisch deutet.
