The book covers wide spectrum of regions, from United Kingdom to Russia and Iran, and includes also Slovenia.

Prispevki so posvečeni fenomenološkim in teoretskim raziskavam zagovarjanja, pri čemer avtorji uporabljajo številne metodološke pristope in obravnavajo zelo različne teme, od vprašanj izvora ustnega izročila do recepcije in razširjenosti zagovarjanja. Osrednja tema raziskav je zagovarjanje, ki je najbolj poetična oblika besedne magije. Zagovori so v Evropi še vedno razširjen žanr in vsebujejo zelo stare elemente magije. Poleg pestrega metodološkega spektra zaobjemajo študije tudi široko geografsko območje: od Anglije do Rusije in Irana, vključujejo tudi Slovenijo.

Book Description
“Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html Before going away... Disciple. Give a more precise and detailed notion of PRELEST [delusion, beauty=charm]. What exactly is PRELEST? Elder. PRELEST is damage to human nature by falsehood. PRELEST is the state of all men, with no exception, which has been made possible by the fall of our original parents [forefathers]. We all are in [a state of] PRELEST [delusion] [1]. Awareness [knowledge] of this [fact] is the greatest protection against PRELEST. The greatest PRELEST is to consider oneself free from PRELEST. We all are deceived, deluded; we all are in a condition of falsehood; we need to be liberated by the truth. Truth is our Lord Jesus Christ [2]. May we come to know this truth by having faith in It, may we cry out with prayer unto this Truth – and it will take us out of the abyss of self-deception and delusion [seduction] by demons. Our state is grievous! It is a prison, from which we pray that our soul be brought out, that I may praise thy name [3], oh Lord. It is that gloomy land onto which our life has been cast by the enemy that hates [envies] and persecutes us [4]. It is carnal mindedness [5] [philosophizing], and vain babblings [6] [knowledge falsely called so], wherewith the whole world is infected, refusing to acknowledge its illness, declaring it [rather, to be] the bloom of health. It is the flesh and blood that cannot inherit the kingdom of God [7]. It is eternal death, [being] healed and destroyed by the Lord Jesus, Who is the resurrection, and the life [8]. This is what our state is like. And the perception thereof is a new reason to weep. With tears let us cry out unto the Lord Jesus that He may bring us out of prison, that He may pull us out of the depths of the earth, that He may wrest us away from the jaws of death. For this cause did our Lord Jesus Christ descend to us – says St. Simeon the New Theologian – for He willed to snatch us away from captivity and from the most evil [wicked] PRELEST-s [charms, delusions] [9]. To All the Weak, the Feeble, and the Little Ones (like me) [С нами Бог] With love dedicated to M., and to M. Know that: /you better come to realize that:/ - You do what your father does - all the worthy things he does - you do, too! - You need only remember him with GRATITUDE every night and every crisis (at least) - and all his sweetness, strength, and riches - are yours (for the asking). [I hear some of you saying they know not their father! - They may well not know him - but their heart does! So you, too: ] You just listen: - GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ ... You hear out (again and again): - GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ ... And you experience: - GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ ... At first it seems [as if] you were giving thanks - No! The second or the third time around you already know Who the Giver of all is - all you have to do is attune your heart, and let it FEEL the GRATITUDE /БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ/ - and you experience the downpour of all mercies, goods (kindness), and all the merits of the Giver of all (ВСЕПОДАТЕЛЯ Христос) Christ - Who gives everything - TO ALL - hears everything and first responds to GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ... And – yes! – you do what your Father does! With heart-felt GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ... what used to be nothing more but mimicking or 'play' is all too real! You are still weak, feeble and little but you really do what your Father does! Слава Богу за все! С нами Бог! Glory be to God for everything! The Lord is with us!

Bodily and Spiritual Hygiene in Medieval and Early Modern Literature
Author: Albrecht Classen
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110523388
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 614
Book Description
While most people today take hygiene and medicine for granted, they both have had their own history. We can gain deep insights into the pre-modern world by studying its health-care system, its approaches to medicine, and concept of hygiene. Already the early Middle Ages witnessed great interest in bathing (hot and cold), swimming, and good personal hygiene. Medical activities grew over time, but even early medieval monks were already great experts in treating the sick. The contributions examine literary, medical, historical texts and images and probe the information we can glean from them. The interdisciplinary approach of this volume makes it possible to view this large field in a complex and diversified manner, taking into account both early medieval and early modern treatises on medicine, water, bathing, and health. Such a cultural-historical perspective creates a most valuable bridge connecting literary and scientific documents under the umbrella of the history of mentality and history of everyday life. The volume does not aim at idealizing the past, but it definitely intends to deconstruct modern myths about the 'dirty' and 'unhealthy' Middle Ages and early modern age.
