Book Description
Leonardo di ser Da Vinci performed the spectacular. We assume much of what Leonardo Di ser da Vinci accomplished, he accomplished alone. But what if he wasn't? As a young boy living near shadowy caves located over the Arno Valley, he comes across a being from the stars.Through their shared love of knowledge and their inquisitive natures, they journey through time together over a five-hundred-year future-span. Together they witness how Western culture amplifies toward greatness. The influence such experience has on Leonardo is immense, helping to shape his ideas about how the world works and greatly impacts how he creates his final painting, which he begins in 1969 (Earth-Limbo time).

Angels

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
In the 1990s alone, more than 400 works on angels were published, adding to an already burgeoning genre. Throughout the centuries angels have been featured in, among others, theological works on scripture; studies in comparative religions; works on art, architecture and music; philological studies; philosophical, sociological, anthropological, archeological and psychological works; and even a psychoanalytical study of the implications that our understanding of angels has for our understanding of sexual differences. This bibliography lists 4,355 works alphabetically by author. Each entry contains a source for the reference, often a Library of Congress call number followed by the name of a university that holds the work. More than 750 of the entries are annotated. Extensive indexes to names, subjects and centuries provide further utility.

Angels at the Arno
Author:
Publisher: David R. Godine Publisher
ISBN: 9780879239947
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
A collection of photos made by Lindbloom in Florence between 1979 and 1987, using a Diana camera--virtually a child's toy with a plastic lens (the story of which is explained in an afterword). The photos have an intriguing strangeness and intimacy. 10x9.25" Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.The Florence revealed in Eric Lindbloom's Angels at the Arno is almost startling in its intimacy and quiet solitude. Lindbloom's view of the city - rendered exclusively through the plastic lens of a Diana camera, virtually a child's toy - brings this venerable city to new life and light. With unabashed subjectivity and an offbeat, oneiric sensibility, Lindbloom conveys his sense of an unveiled Florence, filled with views striking for the beauty they contain rather than for the history they suggest.

The Idea of Idolatry and the Emergence of Islam
Author: G. R. Hawting
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139426354
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Why and under what circumstances did the religion of Islam emerge in a remote part of Arabia at the beginning of the seventh century? Traditional scholarship maintains that Islam developed in opposition to the idolatrous and polytheistic religion of the Arabs of Mecca and the surrounding regions. In this study of pre-Islamic Arabian religion, G. R. Hawting adopts a comparative religious perspective to suggest an alternative view. By examining the various bodies of evidence which survive from this period, the Koran and the vast resources of the Islamic tradition, the author argues that in fact Islam arose out of conflict with other monotheists whose beliefs and practices were judged to fall short of true monotheism and were, in consequence, attacked polemically as idolatry. The author is adept at unravelling the complexities of the source material, and students and scholars will find his argument both engaging and persuasive.
