The book of Ecclesiastes (Qohelet) has provoked many writers throughout the years to ponder the meaning of the phrase "everything is meaningless" and interpret it within their own context. The present volume includes three such attempts, in the form of metrical memre, each by a different author from a different historical setting: the first is by Ephrem the Syrian, the second by Jacob of Serug, and the third by John of Mosul. The volume is edited and introduced by Julius Yeshu Çiçek, former metropolitan of Central Europe.

    Revolt in Palestine in the Eighteenth Century

    In the turbulent atmosphere of the eighteenth century when the Ottoman Empire was enfeebled, local leaders far from Istanbul took matters into their own hands. At first, these leaders only regulated local trade and tax collection, but soon, leaders like Shaykh Zahir al-‘Umar — a district tax collector in Palestine— saw opportunities to amass great wealth and power while providing autonomous government and safer roads to their local followers. A gripping and fascinating read, Ahmad Joudah’s biography of Shaykh Zahir is crucial for scholars seeking to contextualize developments in modern Palestinian history within the politics of the late Ottoman Empire.
