Show moreIn this study, the plant metaphors of the Septuagint of Isaiah are analyzed in order to gain further insight into the translation technique of this unique book. This study suggests that the translator had some concern for Greek style in his use of metaphors, but interpreted primarily as a Jewish scribe.Chapter two examines metaphors with terminology from the various parts of plants, and LXX-Isa’s translations are compared with the Targum’s renderings. In general, this chapter demonstrates how the LXX-Isa translator did not follow the example of other LXX translators, yet carefully renders each verse in its context. Chapter three examines metaphors using terms for different kinds of plants, and LXX-Isa’s translations are compared with the Targum’s renderings. In this chapter, while many metaphors are rendered literally, in many cases the translator adjusts the language of metaphors to communicate clearly what he believes the image means.The concluding chapter categorizes all the metaphors examined in this study by their translation strategy. LXX-Isa’s rendering of metaphors is next compared to the Targum of Isaiah. Finally, evidence is given for the translator using some of his Hellenistic rhetorical training concerning metaphors to improve the style of his translation Show less

Show moreUnity in Diversity presents a fresh appraisal of the vibrant and diverse culture of Stuart Puritanism. This work provides a historiographical and historical survey of current issues within Puritanism, critiques notions of Puritanisms, which tend to fragment the phenomenon, and introduces unitas within diversitas in three divergent Puritans, John Downame, Francis Rous, and Tobias Crisp. This study draws on insights from these three figures to propose that seventeenth-century English Puritanism should be thought of both in terms of Familien_hnlichkeit, in which there are strong theological and social semblances across Puritans of divergent persuasions, and in terms of the greater narrative of the Puritan Reformation, which united Puritans in their quest to reform their church and society.

Show moreIbn Hazm, an Andalusian polygraph (XI century), is the author of an important critical history of religions and sects called al-Fasl. In the first chapter, the author draws a critical review of modern research on this item. In the second chapter, he establishes a biography of Ibn Hazm studying the circumstances that influenced the author. In the third chapter he focuses on issues related to the history of the text of al-Fasl, its textual criticism, its internal structure and its sources. The pitiful state of the printed text clearly appears from the collation of the text of 19 printed editions with 15 manuscripts. These fifteen manuscripts form two groups. The manuscripts of the first group retain a first version of al-Fasl in which coexist two families. The manuscripts of the second group form a fully revised second version. Since this version of the book is the definitive state of the text, it is a priority to establish the text conveyed by these manuscripts. As an example of his method, the author provides a critical edition of the chapter of "the contradictions existing in the Pentateuch" according to its second, fully revised and final version.

Show moreIn this introductory chapter we first review the standard bank–credit/capital markets dichotomy used to describe national financial systems. We examine the influence of this dichotomy in the comparative political economy (CPE) literature, which is the disciplinary focus of most of the contributors to this volume. We explain how effectively scholars of the political economy of finance explain the phenomenon of change and then briefly describe the market-based banking model in the context of the broader national financial systems. In the penultimate section, we consider the impact of market-based banking on the domestic political economy and the impact of the international financial crisis. Show less

Show moreThis study analyses the encyclical Caritas in veritate as a new encyclical in the ongoing development of the __social doctrine__ of the Roman Catholic Church. In this regard, the research questions are: to what extent is Caritas in veritate continuous with earlier pronouncements? To what extent is it new? In as far as there are new elements, can these be understood in relation to the theological thought of Joseph Ratzinger, who became pope Benedict XVI? To what extent can the specific points of view present in Caritas in veritate be seen as responses to contemporary social and economic developments such as globalization, or to new insights in the human sciences and contemporary secular thought?

Show moreDe Septuaginta van Jesaja (LXX Jesaja) wordt evenals LXX Job en LXX Spreuken gekenmerkt door grote en somtijds opmerkelijke verschillen met de Hebreeuwse (Masoretische) tekst van het desbetreffende boek. Deze studie wil een methodische bijdrage leveren tot de analyse van deze verschillen. Voortbouwend op het werk van Ziegler en anderen beoogt het proefschrift aan te tonen dat de vertaler kennelijk een specifieke interpretatie van een gedeelte als Jes 24:1 __ 26:6 in zijn hoofd had alvorens hij zijn vertaling aan papier (papyrus) toevertrouwde. Vandaar de titel: __LXX Isaiah 24:1 __ 26:6 as Interpretation and Translation.__ Show less

Deel één beschrijft de Arubaanse ervaring met koloniaal bestuur tot 1922. Aruba was onderhorig aan het bestuur op Curaçao, waar de gouverneur de spil in het bestuur was. De Koloniale Raad had weinig bevoegdheden en de eilanden buiten Curaçao waren niet vertegenwoordigd Raad. Daar voerden commandeurs, na 1848 gezaghebbers, het bestuur. Lokale colleges als het Vredegerecht, de Adviserende Commissie en de Raad van Politie hadden weinig invloed. De invoering van stemrecht in 1869 bracht weinig verandering. Wel drongen landraden aan op bestuurshervorming en investeringen ten behoeve van Aruba. De grondwetswijzigingen van 1901 en 1922 beloofden hervorming, maar die bleef uit. Deel twee beschrijft de de Separacionbeweging. In 1924 vestigde de olie-industrie zich op Aruba. In 1946 formuleerden de Verenigde Naties het zelfbeschikkingsrecht. Arubanen streefden naar afscheiding van de kolonie en een directe band met Nederland: Separacion! In 1948 stelde de commissie Aruba-Curaçao een federatie tussen de eilanden voor; de separatisten trokken aan het kortste eind. In 1954 kwam het Statuut voor het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden tot stand en een jaar later de Staatsregeling van de Nederlandse Antillen. De epiloog spreekt de ontwikkelingen sinds 1955. Show less

Show moreThis dissertation project focuses on forced re-education policies for juvenile delinquents in the Netherlands Indies (now Indonesia) and uses this topic to show the interaction between a 'modernizing' Dutch colonial state and the growth of a colonial civil society, between approximately 1872 and 1942. It uncovers specific government and private initiatives – like state re-education institutes, orphanages, and schools – that attempted to turn young delinquents of Indonesian and (Indo-)European heritage into 'proper' Dutch colonial subjects and citizens. The dissertation shows that a colonial civil society - both European and indigenous - was rapidly developing in the twentieth century and had an undeniable influence on state policies. The book also seeks to understand and reveal the influence of racialized government and private reform policies on the lives of the children that were deemed 'delinquent', their parents and communities.This dissertation focuses on forced re-education policies for juvenile delinquents in the Netherlands Indies (now Indonesia) and uses this topic to show the interaction between a 'modernizing' Dutch colonial state and the growth of a 'colonial civil society', between approximately 1872 and 1945.
