The present paper offers an edited, critical transcription of an early, relevant text on haṭhayoga. The transcription is based on three different recenssions fom North and South India. One purpose is to overcome difficulties in the reading of the text, due to the discrepancies among different editions. It also seeks to foster further academic work (both philological and exegetical) from different scholars on this text as well as on the broader textual tradition of haṭhayoga. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Norman Sicily of King Roger II (1095-1154) and William I (1125- 1166) represents an essential bridge for the transmission of classical heritage and Arab knowledge. In this paper we want to focus on this movement of transmission, stress the differences towards the Spanish case and show who the main actors were and in what consists the originality of the First Sicilian School of Translators.

This paper surveys the uses of two ancient Greek terms --αἰὠvıoς and ἀΐδıς--commonly translated as "eternal", from their earliest occurrences in poetry and pre-Socratic philosophy down through the Septuagint and the New Testament, and culminating in the Christian theologian Origen. It examines the rise of the idea of infinitely extended time (generally denoted by ἀΐδıς, and Plato's innovative introduction of a concept of a timeless eternity (sometimes described as αἰὠvıoς). It is argued that in the Greek Bible, αἰὠvıoς, as opposed to ἀΐδıς, does not necessarily denote absolute eternity. Since only αἰὠvıoς, and never ἀΐδıς, is applied to punishment in the afterlife, Origen could find support in this usage for his doctrine of universal salvation and the finite duration of hell.
