Excerpt from the Foreword: Esteemed as the epitome of artistic accomplishment, calligraphy in China has traditionally been considered superior to painting and was, indeed, teh mode of expression from which painting devolved. The elegance and sophistication fo the fluent brushstrokes which make up the Chinese characters can be appreciated even by those unfamiliar with the Chinese aesthetic. The scholarly study of calligraphy is complicated by the existence of many copies of much admired prototypes; since some of these copies are contemporaneous and others were done in later centuries, the question of authenticity is a complex one. The copies are often beautiful and accurate reproductions of lost originals, and have an aesthetic value of their own, in addition to their documentary value. The purpose of this exhibition and catalogue is to provide for the Western audience a means for understanding and gaining access to this fascinating subject. The author, Shen C. Y. Fu, an eminent scholar of Chinese art, addresses himself not only to questions of connoisseurship – establishing and defining the various categories of copies – but also to a preliminary outline for a comprehensive history of Chinese scripts. We offer the text of this catalogue as a contribution to the understanding and appreciation fo the highly cultivated art of calligraphy.

NEW Complete Works-Flavius Josephus-Christian Church History-Jewish-Book on CD

You are about to purchase a CD eBook containing the Complete Works of Flavius Josephus, in Adobe PDF file format. This classic, sought-after eBook is over 1400 pages! Shipping is FREE to the U.S.A.! Not sure what an “Ebook” is? See a thorough description at the end of this page. In studying Judean history in the first century AD, there is no historian more important than Josephus, especially when one is interested in the study of the historical Jesus or of the world around him (the religious/social/political climate, etc.) Josephus is not only the only Jewish historian of this era to comment on Jesus, he is the only Jewish historian to thoroughly present the history as well as the psychological outlook of the Jews through a lengthy span of time. His works are immeasurably important to anyone interested in this line of study. The works of Josephus give a reader a window into the perceptions of the world in the first century. Josephus offers information about individuals, groups, customs and geographical places. His writings provide a significant, extra-biblical account of the post-exilic period of the Maccabees, the Hasmonean dynasty and the rise of Herod the Great. He makes references to the Sadducees, Jewish High Priests of the time, Pharisees and Essenes, the Herodian Temple, Quirinius’ census and the Zealots, and to such figures as Pontius Pilate, Herod the Great, Agrippa I and Agrippa II, John the Baptist, James the brother of Jesus, and a much disputed reference to Jesus Christ. He is an important source for studies of immediate post-Temple Judaism (and, thus, the context of early Christianity). The Complete Works of Flavius Josephus CD eBook contains the following: The Life of Josephus The Hades Discourse Against Apion (Books 1 & 2) Antiquities of the Jews (Books 1-20) Wars of the Jews (Books 1-8) The content of this work provides a profound sense of history, and extends without an end a greater sense of it. This book acts many times as a supplement to the bible in filling important gaps that biblical history does not provide. In almost every way, Josephus is our best available source for understanding the ancient’s understanding of the Bible. As such, it is essential and invaluable to any serious student.
