Meccan Trade and the Rise of Islam by

"Blessed is He who has brought Adam from Sheol" Christ's Descent to the Dead in the Theology of Saint Ephrem the Syrian by
Buchan’s work is an examination of the theological use of the doctrine of Christ's descent to the dead in the works of Saint Ephrem the Syrian (ca. 306-373 C.E.). Ephrem's conception of Christ's descent to Sheol provides us with an important and distinctive vision of the significance of this salvific event. Ephrem's use of Semitic and non-Western poetic forms and structures as a mode of theological discourse, coupled with his preference for imagery and symbolism rather than definition, resulted in a variety of vivid depictions of Christ's descent to Sheol. The doctrine is shown to be an integral and multifaceted component of Ephrem's theology.

The Great Stem of Souls is a study of the colophons –postscripts at the end of each text – that are appended to most Mandaean documents. A study of the contents of the colophons provides a framework for reconstructing Mandaean history.

Title:Arabic Proverbs and the Manners and Customs of Modern Egyptians
Availability:In Print
Publisher:Gorgias Press
 
A compilation and translation of Arabic proverbs by the Swiss traveler Johann Ludwig Burckhardt (1784-1817). In addition to visits to Cairo, Damascus, Lebanon and other points in the Middle East, he was one of the few Europeans to venture to Mecca. This book highlights the witticisms he recorded along his travels in Cairo, Egypt, to which Burkhardt adds cultural and figurative explanations. The proverbs are alphabetized by the Arabic letter beginning a phrase. For those readers less familiar with the language, each entry is also numbered.
