The aim of this paper is to study the poetic language of the Cantares de Dzitbalché. Despite its importance in the literary field, the texts contained in this Maya manuscript have received little interest from the rhetorical point of view. However, the use of parallelisms and other figures of semantic deepening make this work a masterful example of Maya poetry. Likewise, it is possible to observe in the texts an influence of the Hispanic tradition at the morphosyntactic and thematic level, which will also be analyzed and discussed throughout the work.

This essay examines a copy of the Qur'ān from India, now in the India Office Collections at the British Library. The manuscript, registered as IO Loth 4, belongs to the reasonably large group of early Qur'āns that date to the eighth and ninth centuries CE. While some of these manuscripts have charted histories, what is not widely known is that early Qur'āns also made their way to India. There they have their own special histories, meanings and associations. In attempt to address the long 'after-life' of these manuscripts, this paper will examine a single example that arrived in India in the Mughal period and was eventually presented to the Library of the East India House by Lord Dalhousie in 1853. While not the earliest of the Qur'āns brought to India, it nonetheless dates to the circa ninth century CE, making it older than any surviving manuscripts in Sanskrit or Prakrit in India proper.

Incorporating the two leaves within the "canon" of the other accepted Book of Mormon manuscript leaves offers yet another piece to the puzzle of the original manuscript of the Book of Mormon manuscript. This paper has not stressed any one particular aspect of the Chicago leaves of the Book of Mormon manuscript - instead relying on a varied approach to understand the totality of the manuscript. Archivists at Chicago had undertaken their own analysis of the leaves in the early 1980s and felt that the handwriting matched other verified samples from Oliver Cowdery, the principal scribe for both the original and the printer's manuscripts of the Book of Mormon.
