Book Description
"Praised by the New York Times as "a highly important exhibition book," this lavishly produced catalog reproduces illustrated texts from the groundbreaking exhibition at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. Called "fabulous" by the Washington Post, Falnama was the first show of its kind dedicated to the art of divination in the Islamic world. The Falnama were brilliantly painted compositions created in Safavid Iran and Ottoman Turkey in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Falnama: The Book of Omens combines rare images with scholarly texts on the deeper meaning of dreams, omens, and divination. Featured in this first publication ever devoted to the Falnama as a genre are intact volumes as well as text folios and illustrations now dispersed among international public and private collections. Essays by scholars of Safavid, Ottoman, and Byzantine history and language, complemented by full-color illustrations, offer detailed analysis of the form, content, and meaning of these rarely seen works of art. The first-ever translations of three of the four monumental copies provide insight into a vivid and enduring aspect of human concern--the unknown."--Publisher's website.

The Qur'an Respond to the Dead Sea Scrolls Myth
Author: Major (R) Rashid Iqbal
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
This book will explore the innovative outlook of the early dynamics of the Jesus era while taking a lead from cross-referencing five major fields of the study. It is analyzed that in the light of latest development of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Judaism and Christianity have resolved many enigmas e.g. resolution of biblical disparity of the Last Supper episode by employing Essene's calendar of DSS community. On the other hand, Judaism has scientifically proven that no textual error or omission between existing and old cannons exists after carbon dating tests. However, certain empirical pieces of evidence related to hermeneutic meanings of several Qur'anic and biblical verses with respect to DSS have not been viewed. Qur'an does talk about Essenes and their community and links between the DSS community and Jesus do exist. A hypothetical scene is re-constructed taking aides from these factors while elaborating chain reaction of events during Jesus era, The Last Supper, The destruction of the Second temple and ultimately resurrection of the sleepers of the cave that became the catalyst of expansion of Christianity in Europe. With the help of this book, attention can be drawn in the field of DSS and early Christianity. It will open a new window as no serious input is made in the field of studying hermeneutic meanings of many Qur'ānic and biblical verses that contemplate many entwining interests of the sectarian tug of war in first-century Christianity. This book will prove the efficacy of consulting the Quran in resolving many conundrums of history.
