Paperback. Condition: New. In this volume ?abari takes up the history of the ancient world, focusing on the Iranians and the Israelites after the time of Solomon. He establishes a comparative chronology between the two nations; viewing Bahman, the Persian king, as the son of Esther, and his daughter, Khumani, the mother of Darius. ?abari's synchronization also leads him into a discussion of North and South Arabia, in which stories about King Jadhimah, Queen Zabba, and the tribes of ?abari and Jadis appear.Falling outside the general scheme of the volume, are other details. These are concentrated in five chapters on the biblical stories of Samson and Delilah, and on Jonah, commentary on a Quranic passage concerning three divine envoys, and on two stories of Christian antiquity, the Seven Sleepers and the martyr Jirjis.?abari presents a mass of Iranian, Jewish, Christian, and Arabian lore in order to create a unified view of the material. His treatment of the mythical Iranian kings, as they battle Turanians and other foes, extends beyond the time of Alexander and his successors to the era of the Gospels, John the Baptist, and Jesus. Tales of the Israelites include the story of Asa and Zerah the Indian, remarkable for its development of the Biblical nucleus and variants of the history of the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.

Paperback. Condition: New. Ibn Kammuna's Examination of the Three Faiths: A Thirteenth-Century Essay in the Comparative Study of Religion offers a rare glimpse into the philosophical and theological debates of medieval Baghdad, where Judaism, Christianity, and Islam intersected intellectually and culturally. Written by Sa'd Ibn Mansur Ibn Kammuna, a Jewish philosopher, physician, and scholar, this 1280 work systematically examines the principles and arguments of the three monotheistic faiths-Judaism, Christianity, and Islam-through the lens of rational inquiry and philosophical skepticism. With a focus on the nature of prophecy, the authenticity of sacred texts, and the societal roles of religion, Ibn Kammuna presents a balanced yet critical analysis, allocating the most extensive treatment to Islam, the majority faith of his milieu. His approach demonstrates remarkable objectivity, emphasizing shared human experiences while scrutinizing doctrinal claims and logical inconsistencies across all three faiths. Ibn Kammuna's work, though scholarly and detached in tone, provoked considerable controversy, particularly for its critique of Islam, which led to mob violence against him and forced his exile to Hilla. Despite its contentious reception, the Examination stands as a testament to medieval rationalism and interfaith discourse. It reflects Ibn Kammuna's deist leanings and his pursuit of a universal understanding of faiths, stripping away parochial biases to highlight the humanizing and social functions of religion. His methodology-drawing from Jewish, Christian, and Islamic sources, including figures like Maimonides, Avicenna, and Ghazali-showcases an intellectual bridge between diverse traditions. Ultimately, the Examination not only challenges dogmatic perspectives but also anticipates Enlightenment-era values of tolerance, critical thought, and the search for common ground in humanity's spiritual aspirations. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1971.
