Follow a day in the life of a young, mixed heritage Ojibwe child and learn key words and phrases from the Ojibwe language in this enchantingly illustrated children's book.•2024 Midwest Independent Booksellers Association Holiday Selection•The Ojibwe people are the largest Indigenous group of Turtle Island, now known as North America, and live around the present-day Great Lakes. After their land was taken by Europeans, many Ojibwe children were placed in boarding schools that forbid them to use their native language. Though this led to a decline in fluent speakers, there is a growing movement to restore the strength of the Ojibwe language. In Ojibwe culture, a dream catcher (izhi'on) protects people, especially children, from harm by catching bad dreams in its web and allowing good dreams to pass through the feathers hanging at the bottom. Wisdom Weavers introduces children to the Ojibwe language from an Indigenous perspective. International speaker, author, and creator of Ojibwe Word of the Day, James Vukelich Kaagegaabaw, presents a selection of words and phrases throughout the day while his son learns about the Ojibwe tradition of the dream catcher. Created with children ages 6 to 11 (beginner- to mid-level readers) in mind, Wisdom Weavers is an engaging and accessible way for children to discover the Ojibwe language and learn key phrases and words like: How to welcome the morning - Mino-giizhigad How to say I love you - GizhaweniminHow to be grateful - MiigwechHow to make an offering - BiindaakoojigeSchool - Gikinoo'amaadiiwigamigTree - MitigBackpack -BimiwanaanSun - GiizisAnd more! This inspiring story features a total of 73 words and phrases to learn in Ojibwe, introduced throughout the visually captivating and representative scenes showing an average day in an Ojibwe family from illustrator Marcus Trujillo, a tribal member with the Pueblo of Laguna in affiliation with the Village of Paraje. Also featuring a brief history of the Ojibwe people and language and a culturally accurate how-to guide for making a dream catcher at home, Wisdom Weavers immerses young people in a vibrant traditional culture while helping to keep the Ojibwe language and customs alive.

Konon von Bidana ist der Apostel der rauhen Landschaft Isaurien: Nachdem Paulus gescheitert ist, kommt das Evangelium Christi durch Konon, einen Dorfbewohner aus dem Taurosgebirge, der kaum Griechisch spricht, dafür aber die einheimische Sprache, zu den Bewohnern der Berge. Er befriedet die notorisch unruhige Region, indem er Dämonen austreibt. Von einem römischen Statthalter vor Gericht gezerrt, wird ihm als Christ unter Foltern der Prozeß gemacht – doch seine isaurischen Jünger greifen zu den Waffen und befreien den blutüberströmten Wundertäter von der Folterbank. So zumindest stellt es die spätantike griechische Märtyrervita Konons dar, die in diesem Band ediert, übersetzt und eingeleitet wird. Auch wenn Konon also nicht als Märtyrer starb, breitete sich sein Kult zunächst in Kleinasien und dann im weiteren Mittelmeerraum aus; großen Anteil daran hatte der ebenfalls aus dem Tauros stammende Kaiser Zenon. Unangefochtenes Zentrum von Konons Verehrung blieb seine Heimat, Isaurien. Hier scheint auch seine Vita verfaßt worden zu sein, bevor sie sich in griechischen Handschriften verbreitete und in viele Sprachen der Alten Welt, darunter Koptisch, Armenisch und – später – Altkirchenslawisch, übersetzt wurde. Dieser Band steht in enger Verbindung mit TU 184.

Leonzio vescovo di Neapolis in Cipro compose alla meta del VII secolo la biografia del patriarca di Alessandria Giovanni il Misericordioso (610-619). L'opera conobbe una grande diffusione non solo nell'Impero bizantino, ma anche in altre tradizioni letterarie. La versione siriaca della Vita costituisce un importante testimone indiretto dell'originale greco e risulta interessante per lo studio della ricezione dei testi agiografici bizantini in ambito siro-ortodosso. Il valore ecdotico della versione siriaca ci ha incitato a ricostruire il suo testo nella forma pi- prossima all'originale, tenendo conto dell'apporto di tutti i manoscritti e recensioni esistenti. Il primo volume presenta un'introduzione relativa alla tradizione manoscritta. Segue l'edizione, corredata di un apparato critico che tiene conto, oltre che dei tre principali testimoni, dell'apporto di alcuni frammenti, della'versione corta'del codice Par. syr. 234, dei principali codici greci e della versione latina del codice Par. lat. 3820. Completa il volume l'indice dei sostantivi siriaci, dei prestiti greci, dei nomi propri. Il secondo volume comprende la traduzione in lingua italiana ed uno studio delle differenze tra testo greco e versione siriaca. La traduzione italiana resta volutamente fedele al testo siriaco, affinche meglio possano essere apprezzate le difformita tra le due versioni. Le note di commento sono funzionali alla descrizione della storia del testo e dello stile della traduzione. Il volume presenta in appendice un elenco dei luoghi biblici e delle cose notevoli.

Peu avant d'accéder à l'épiscopat d'Hippone, en l'année 395/96, Augustin entreprend un projet ambitieux de commentaire sur les épîtres de saint Paul. Après un commentaire succinct sur Galates, et un livre de «　Questions　» sur Romains, il entame un commentaire à grande échelle sur Romains, qui devait rivaliser, voire surpasser, tout autre commentaire scripturaire jusqu'alors produit par l'Eglise latine. Cependant, comme il l'admet lui-même, il se décourage devant l'ampleur de la tâche, et abandonne son travail n'ayant commenté que le premier paragraphe de Romains. Néanmoins, il décide que ce qu'il a écrit mérite d'être conservé, et donne à son texte le nom d'Epistulae ad Romanos inchoata expositio («　Commencement de commentaire sur l'épître aux Romains　»). Malgré sa brièveté, cette Inchoata expositio révèle toute la sagesse et l'imagination d'Augustin lecteur des Écritures, et comporte dans sa partie finale un riche exposé sur la nature du blasphème contre l'Esprit Saint, qui serait, selon l'Évangile, le péché impardonnable. Ce livre fournit une nouvelle édition critique de l'Inchoata expositio, accompagnée d'une traduction française et d'un commentaire détaillé sur les aspects littéraires, historiques et théologiques de ce texte-clé pour le développement de la pensée exégétique d'Augustin.
