This volume contains papers from the First International Congress on Eastern Christianity held in Córdoba, Spain, November 2005. The encounter of medieval Christian writers with several linguistic traditions through the Middle Ages produced one of the most important branches of Middle Eastern literature. This encounter not only changed the nature of the respective writings throughout time, but also influenced considerably the development of the legacies transmitted by the writers and the scholars of various Eastern Christian churches. |
|  | The Christian Minorities in Turkey by
Spurred on by the question of whether Turkey should be given full membership to the European Union, Baum raises the specter of the massacre and torture of Eastern Christians in this nation. A cursory history of Turkey up to the nineteenth century is given, and this is supplemented by a detailed account of massacres of Christians during World War I and the reactions of the rest of the world to these religiously motivated killings. The situation is traced up through the War in Cyprus until 1974 and then, briefly, to the modern period. |

This monumental work has been the standard dictionary for translation of Arabic into French for many years. A massive, two-volume lexicon, it contains all of the known roots of the Arabic language and also includes the dialects of Algiers and Morocco. Older dictionaries capture the idiom of their time and often contain insights that are lost through the years. Seeking to recapture such insights, Gorgias Press is now making this historical dictionary available once again.
Albert de Biberstein Kazimirski (1808-1887) was a lexicographer of repute in the nineteenth century. Among his many accomplishments was the translation of the Quran into French and the production of multiple dictionaries.
