O. Livne-Kafri
The early development of Muslim ideas of the holiness of Jerusalem has attracted considerable interest in recent years. Livni-Kafri has argued that the earliest collections of the fadd'il of the city were already in existence in the third/ninth century and in 1979 Hasson published an edition of the earliest of these texts known to have survived, the early eleventh-century Fadd 'il al-Bayl al-Muqaddas of al-WasitT. Now Livne-Kafri has published the slightly later volume on the same theme by Ibn al-Murajja. The editor argues that this was composed in the 430s (mistakenly given as c. 1130-40 in the introduction: in fact the 430s correspond to A.D. 1038-48). Almost nothing seems to be known of the writer whose life was entirely ignored by the authors of later rijal books. He worked in the traditional forms of Muslim scholarship and was careful to quote his isndds. He begins with a discussion of the holy places of Jerusalem, especially the Dome of the Rock but also including smaller sanctuaries. As the full title suggests he also has short sections on the fadd'il of Syria and Hebron. The work is conventional and unexciting but it does provide further evidence for popular piety and the importance of Jerusalem as a holy city to Muslims in the pre-Crusader period. The edition is made from a single Tubingen MS dated 866/1462 and the editor has provided extensive notes and an index. Livne-Kafri and others, notably Hasson and Elad, have written extensively in this area recently, but the introduction, which is short and to the point, could perhaps have provided an opportunity for a fuller discussion of the background to the work and its place in the literature of Muslim Jerusalem.
近年来,穆斯林关于耶路撒冷神圣性观念的早期发展引起了相当大的兴趣。Livni-Kafri认为,最早的关于这座城市的fadd'il的收藏在3 / 9世纪就已经存在了,1979年Hasson出版了已知现存最早的这些文本的一个版本,即11世纪早期的fadd'il al-Bayl al-Muqaddas of al-WasitT。现在,Livne-Kafri出版了稍晚一些的伊本·穆拉贾关于同一主题的著作。编辑认为这是在430年代创作的(在引言中错误地认为是c 1130-40年:实际上430年代对应于公元1038-48年)。几乎没有人知道这位作家的生平,他的作品被后来的作家完全忽略了。他从事传统形式的穆斯林学术研究,并小心翼翼地引用自己的观点。他首先讨论了耶路撒冷的圣地,尤其是圆顶清真寺,但也包括较小的圣所。正如整本书的标题所示,他也有关于叙利亚和希伯伦战争的简短章节。这项工作是传统的,平淡无奇的,但它确实为十字军前时期普遍的虔诚和耶路撒冷作为穆斯林圣城的重要性提供了进一步的证据。该版本是由一个单一的图宾根MS日期866/1462和编辑提供了广泛的注释和索引。Livne-Kafri和其他人,特别是Hasson和Elad,最近在这个领域写了很多文章,但引言简短而中点,也许可以提供一个机会,更全面地讨论这部作品的背景及其在穆斯林耶路撒冷文学中的地位。

This paper explores the influence of early Quaker theology on the philosophy of Anne Conway, as presented in her The Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy (1690). We begin by exploring Conway’s rejection of the remnants of Cartesianism in the Neoplatonic philosophy of her mentor, Henry More, leading her to posit a monistic ontology of spirit. Following this, I argue that Conway’s Christology and religious epistemology can be understood as inspired by George Keith’s account of the ‘Christ Within’ and the manner in which the historical Christ is construed as a manifestation of a metaphysical principle, ‘Christ’. We can understand Conway’s notion of ‘adoption’ by Christ as becoming qualitatively identical with Him as part of the process towards moral perfection, in which we come to embody the ‘Christ Within’.

This ethnographic study of a British Quaker school asks: ‘How is Quakerism expressed in this school?’ It considers the experiences of staff and students collected through reports during interviews and focus groups, and through lesson and general observations. The article distinguishes between formal and substantive rationality, finding that while the literature shows that many schools are run on formally rational principles, the data collected shows that a school influenced by Quaker values can resist some of the negative impacts of formal rationality. The article addresses some of the concerns of the group ‘Quaker Values in Education’, set up to work towards an education system in line with Quaker values; this school resisted or rejected the enforcement of practices on teachers by superiors, excessive assessment and militarisation. While Quaker values were seen by respondents to be important in the daily life of the school, the religious beliefs of Quakerism were not. Quaker values were related by respon...
