The Syriac Legend of Alexander’s Gate Apocalypticism at the Crossroads of Byzantium and Iran


Free Download The Syriac Legend of Alexander’s Gate: Apocalypticism at the Crossroads of Byzantium and Iran (Oxford Studies in Late Antiquity) by Tommaso Tesei
English | November 7, 2023 | ISBN: 0197646875 | True EPUB/PDF | 240 pages | 1.1/12.9 MB
The Syriac text entitled Neshana d-Aleksandros (also known as Syriac Alexander Legend) is a seminal text for late Christian and Muslim apocalyptic traditions. Containing the earliest recorded versions of literary motifs that would become central to the medieval apocalyptic tradition, it represents an early witness to an influential political ideology that guided both Byzantine and early Islamic imperial policies. While the scholarly consensus commonly dates the Neshana to the time of Heraclius (r. 610-641 CE), in this book author Tommaso Tesei argues that an earlier version of the text was produced during the reign of Justinian I (r. 527-565). This new historical contextualization of the text enables us to better delineate the role of the Neshana in the development of late antique, politicized, forms of apocalypticism, which assign to the Christian Roman Empire the task of establishing a cosmocratic rule in view of Jesus’ Second Coming.

English | March 29, 2022 | ASIN: B09VQYZR74 | M4B@64 kbps | 12h 4m | 335 MB
Author: Charles Elton | Narrator: Michael Butler Murray
The "revelatory" (The New Yorker) first biography of critically acclaimed then critically derided filmmaker Michael Cimino-and a reevaluation of the infamous film that destroyed his career.
The director Michael Cimino (1939-2016) is famous for two films: the intense, powerful, and enduring Vietnam movie The Deer Hunter, which won Best Picture at the Academy Awards in 1979 and also won Cimino Best Director, and Heaven’s Gate, the most notorious bomb of all time. Originally budgeted at $11 million, Cimino’s sprawling western went off the rails in Montana. The picture grew longer and longer, and the budget ballooned to over $40 million. When it was finally released, Heaven’s Gate failed so completely with reviewers and at the box office that it put legendary studio United Artists out of business and marked the end of Hollywood’s auteur era.
