Book Description
This book of daily prayers, scripture, and meditations mixes traditional "fixed hour" prayer (morning, noon, evening, and night) with fresh, inclusive language. It offers a week-long cycle of devotion to God through the life of the Virgin Mary, traditionally recognized as first among the saints, and who has been cherished as a soul friend to Christians since the beginning of the church. Organized upon the joys and sorrows of the Marian Rosary, this prayer book encompasses the life of Mary as she followed her son and experienced her own discipleship. It gives those who use it a deeper appreciation of the life of the woman. It holds particular appeal for traditional prayer and study groups, like Daughters of the King, Julian of Norwich prayer groups, members of the Third Order of the Franciscans, and denominational women's organizations, spiritual seekers, plus all those drawn to a flexible, yet regular prayer routine.

Isabelle Boursier's Book of Hours, a Dismembered Manuscript from Mary Benson's Collection
Author: Carla Rossi
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1036400441
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
This book provides a detailed exploration of profit-driven biblioclasm, centring on the case of a Book of Hours, part of the Brooklyn Museum’s holdings until 2021. Facing financial difficulties exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum chose to deaccession and sell various pieces, among which was a manuscript from the Mary Benson bequest of 1919, later dismembered by an American dealer who had purchased it at auction. Whilst examining the moral complexities surrounding these sales and the destruction of irreplaceable European cultural artifacts, the book uncovers the identity of the original owner of the manuscript, and provides a digital reconstruction of the original text. This book not only brings to light a critical occurrence but also discusses wider issues of cultural conservation and ethical responsibility in the art world. Its global significance and focus on a notable event in art history render it an indispensable read for those dedicated to safeguarding our collective cultural heritage.

The Oxford Handbook of Mary
Author: Chris Maunder
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192511157
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 709
Book Description
The Oxford Handbook of Mary offers an interdisciplinary guide to Marian Studies, including chapters on textual, literary, and media analysis; theology; Church history; art history; studies on devotion in a variety of forms; cultural history; folk tradition; gender analysis; apparitions and apocalypticism. Featuring contributions from a distinguished group of international scholars, the Handbook looks at both Eastern and Western perspectives and attempts to correct imbalance in previous books on Mary towards the West. The volume also considers Mary in Islam and pilgrimages shared by Christian, Muslim, and Jewish adherents. While Mary can be a source of theological disagreement, this authoritative collection shows Mary's rich potential for inter-faith and inter-denominational dialogue and shared experience. It covers a diverse number of topics that show how Mary and Mariology are articulated within ecclesiastical contexts but also on their margins in popular devotion. Newly-commissioned essays describe some of the central ideas of Christian Marian thought, while also challenging popularly-held notions. This invaluable reference for students and scholars illustrates the current state of play in Marian Studies as it is done across the world.

Pages : 317
Book Description
Finishing this book was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. It took far too long from original idea to page proofs and suffered from being relegated to small corners of my life. It was very rarely on the front burner. Since I started working on this topic in 1991, there has been a lot of interesting work done on the areas of the articulation of VP, phrase structure mirroring event structure, the use of functional categories to represent Aktionsart, and many other areas that the research presented here touches on. The hardest thing about doing a project of this size is to accept that not everyone’s ideas can be addressed and not all new research can be incorporated. The only way that I have found it possible to let this book go to press is to reread the Preface to Events in the Semantics of English by Terence Parsons where he writes, ‘‘The goal of this book is neither completeness nor complete accuracy; it is to get some interesting proposals into the public arena for others to criticize, develop, and build on. ’’ My aim in this book is to make connections between various accounts of various constructions in various languages at the risk of treating each of these too lightly. I am grateful to too many people to thank them individually.

Three Times Dead
Author: Jenny Paliska
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1499003110
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
Mary and Younee leave for Australia in the 1840s to begin a new life. On the voyage, a murder is committed and the captain encourages Mary to solve the crime. An inspection of the deceaseds life portrays him as an unsavoury character with a sordid past. Mary establishes half the ship wants him dead and the other half have their own reasons to escape to Australia. A ship full of secrets! Mary has two days to solve the crime with its numerous twists and turns. But Mary has a secret. Her best friend Younee is a gremlin who can read her mind, run faster than any other creature on earth and hide on her shoulder, under her hair. On numerous occasions he has stopped her death on the streets of London with some humourous results but their meeting was not accidental. Someone or something is playing with their lives. Mary doesn't have a past (at least one that she can remember) causing Younee to ensure Mary undergoes a stage of self awareness. Once Mary reviewed her position in society (being a waif ranks awfully low), she realised that without money she didn't have a future and the effect of old money would be lessened by distance, so they emigrate to Australia. This novel is a witty and humorous look at human nature, solving crimes and unlikely friendships. By the time you finish the last page, you will have been witness to a dastardly murder in England, a devious death on the voyage, a shipwreck on a coral reef and the establishment of the Unique Detective Agency in Sydney and be ready to read book 2.
