Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This book contains the earliest surviving English version of tales about Till Eulenspiegel, published in the mid-1500s and translated from a German text published in the 1510s, which was the first written version of oral tales that circulated in the 1400s.In the nineteenth century, when Till Eulenspiegel became a favorite subject of children's books, the tales were bowdlerized and the pranks were innocent. Eulenspiegel was often drawn wearing a jester's cap.In the original tales, Eulenspiegel is an opportunist who is always inventing schemes to avoid work and to cheat people out of their money. The humor can be crude, the character can be exasperating, and the pranks can be cruel-particularly when they are meant as revenge against those who resisted his schemes. Modern readers may well find many of the tales offensive, but they are a good example of the popular humor of Europe during the early Renaissance. The spelling and punctuation of the tales are modernized, so it is easy for contemporary readers to understand the text. They are accompanied by the original woodcut illustrations from a German edition of 1515.We are pleased to make this classic accessible to modern English-speaking readers for the first time.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Now, you can read the texts that were edited together thousands of years ago to form the early books of the Bible. For over a century, many scholars have said that these books are made up of the following texts: The J text was written by a member of the Judean court, which included many people from surrounding nations.The E text was written by a one of the group of priests from the earliest Israelite religious center at Shiloh, who believed they were descended from Moses.The P text was written by one of the group of priests in charge of the Temple in Jerusalem, who believed they were descended from Aaron.For the first time, this edition arranges these texts in parallel columns. You can read down a column to read a text from beginning to end. You can read across columns to compare the same story in different texts.This edition also includes an introduction showing how the texts reflect the authors' backgrounds and the events of their times.In cases where scholars disagree, this edition assigns passages in ways that make each text as consistent and continuous as possible, allowing new insights into the Bible.For example, this edition shows that there is a strong contrast between the J text, which has an amoral religion and an anthropomorphic God, and the E text, which has a moral religion and a much more advanced view of God In the conventional text of the Bible, the J and E texts are mixed together. In this edition, they are separated, so it is easy to see how different they are.Both scholars and other readers will appreciate this books many insights into the texts.Readers who are new to this theory of how the Bible was written will be fascinated to see difficult, hard-to-read and self-contradictory portions of the Bible separated into source texts that are easy to read and consistent, and they will appreciate the book's clear introduction to this theory and to the authors and their times.Siegel has made an important contribution to Biblical scholarship and to the public's understanding of the Bible. …
