Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Bugis Chronicle of Bone is a masterwork in the historiographical tradition of South Sulawesi in Indonesia. Written in the late seventeenth century for a very specific political purpose, it describes the steady growth of the kingdom of Bone from the fourteenth century onwards. The local conquests of the fifteenth century, closely linked to agricultural expansion, give way to the long conflict with the Makasar state of Gowa in the sixteenth century. Forced Islamisation in 1611 is dealt with in detail, leading finally to first contact with the Dutch East India Company in 1667. This edition presents a diplomatic version of the best Bugis text, together with the first full English translation and an extensive introduction covering the philological approach to the edition, as well as the historical and cultural significance of the work. A structure based on the reigns of successive rulers allows for stories about the circumstances of each ruler and, particularly, the often dramatic processes and politics of succession. The chronicle is a rich source for historians and anthropologists seeking to understand societies beyond Europe. It provides a window on to this Austronesian-speaking society before the impact of significant external influences. This is history from within, covering more than three centuries.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains four distinct narratives by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, providing a comprehensive account of Jesus of Nazareth's life. The author explains that each of these narratives was tailored to the specific audience it was meant for, with Matthew's focusing on Jesus' Jewish lineage and fulfillment of prophecies, and John's emphasizing Jesus' divinity for his largely non-Jewish audience. The author goes on to discuss the complex socio-historic context in which these narratives were written, highlighting the various motivations and biases of the different writers. By thoroughly analyzing the design, intent, and context of these narratives, the author sheds new light on the profound themes of faith, redemption, and the nature of truth that they explore. Ultimately, the significance of these four narratives lies in their power to inspire, uplift, and guide readers on their own spiritual journeys. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
