John Knox was there preaching to the English congregation, Calvin was there writing commentaries, and Theodore Beza, one of the most prominent Biblical scholars of the day, was there studying the Greek text [...] The first edition was extremely handsome [...] it was the first Bible to use roman rather than black-letter type, the first to use verse divisions, and the first to use italic type for words not found in the original sources; it included helpful tables, maps, and woodcuts and was composed in quarto, which made it more convenient to handle and carry than the earlier cumbersome folio versions. The Geneva translators combined impeccable scholarship with remarkable felicity of style. [...] The King James translators themselves were much influenced by it and took over many of its readings. [...] The influence of the Geneva Bible is evident in the language of the greatest writers of its time. Unquestionably, it was the version Shakespeare used. From Falstaff’s comically pious catechizing of Prince Hal to King Lear’s dark and thundering lamentations on the frailty of human life, the phrasing of the Geneva Bible can be heard. Language peculiar to the Geneva Bible echoes throughout the plays and attests to Shakespeare’s intimate knowledge not only of the Genevan Scriptures but of the notes as well. The Geneva Bible was also known and used by the two great Puritan writers of the next century—John Bunyan and John Milton.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bonfire Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43354537820334,"sku":"20220143","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0579\/0679\/0574\/products\/20220143-OCLC216898224-200x286.jpg?v=1663191004"},{"product_id":"slips-of-speech-john-h-bechtel","title":"Slips of Speech - John H.

The problem of the end of Antiquity and the beginning of the Middle Ages had always preoccupied him. Before the War, in his lectures on the History of the Middle Ages, he drew attention to the profound traces which the institutions of the late Roman Empire had left upon those of the Frankish epoch. But it was during his captivity in Germany, when, as a prisoner in the camp Holzminden, he organized for the many Russian students who shared his fate, a course of lectures on the economic history of Europe, that the solution of this capital problem seems to have dawned upon him. And during his exile in the village of Kreuzburg, in Thuringia, while he was writing his \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHistory of Europe\u003c\/em\u003e, he emphasized, for the first time, the close relation that existed between the conquest of Islam and the formation of the mediaeval Occident” (from the Preface by Jacques Pirenne, p.9) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAlthough he clearly poured a great deal of thought and work into this writing, Henri Pirenne did not live to see it published. Jacques Pirenne, the historian’s son, partnered with one of the historian’s former students to edit his father’s manuscript for publication. The first edition was published in French, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMohammed et Charlemagne \u003c\/em\u003e(1937). The monograph went on to become incredibly influential in the way that history is taught and conceived, and Pirenne’s argument concerning the influences of Arab expansion on the evolution of European society has come to be known simply as the “Pirenne Thesis.” This edition is the fourth impression of the English translation by Bernard Miall, itself taken from the 10\u003csup data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e French edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\"Without Islam, the Frankish Empire would have probably never existed, and Charlemagne, without Muhammad, would be inconceivable.\" – Henri Pirenne\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTitle: \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMohammed and Charlemagne\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor: Henri Pirenne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublisher: George Allen and Unwin Ltd.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlace: London\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYear: 1965\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEditors: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJacques Pirenne and F.

This early reputation for fostering the literary talents of his day, however, is often overshadowed by the work Pound did during the Second World War to advance Benito Mussolini’s fascist government and to support fascism more broadly elsewhere. In 1945, when the US forces took control of Italy, they arrested Pound on charges of treason. The poet was deemed unfit to stand trial and was subsequently held in a psychiatric hospital until 1958.
