The final volume of a unique three volume set
The conflicts of the nineteenth century did much to create the modern world. Following the defeat of the First Empire of the French, most of Europe was in perpetual turmoil and became the stage for many small wars. The turn of the twentieth century brought even greater catastrophes, since the century that had just passed had sown the seeds of global warfare. From 1820 the people of continental Europe--from the Atlantic coasts to the Middle East--were embroiled in struggles which were both national conflicts and rebellions. This was a time when the nations we know today came into being within regions which had previously been held in thrall for generations by declining empires. Additionally, the age of colonialism saw continental European armies fighting across world. This unique Leonaur three volume set focuses, in chronological order, on the battles which were fought during this turbulent era. Beginning after the fall of Napoleon, and excluding, in the main, the conflicts of the British Empire, these narratives cover the most notable and interesting actions which involved continental European armies. Turkish and North African conflicts are also included. Each book is profusely illustrated with maps and black and white illustrations and the set is wonderful resource of information on largely forgotten wars that is suitable for all students of military history. This concluding volume includes thirteen accounts including, Carthegena, Plevna, Geok Tepe, Agordat and the Greco-Turkish War of the late 19th century.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Автор: Thompson Herbert Название: The New Biblical Papyrus: A Sahidic Version of Deuteronomy, Jonah, and Acts of the Apostles from Ms. Or. 7594 of the British Museum (Classic Rep ISBN: 1397298383 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781397298386 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 8800.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Excerpt from The New Biblical Papyrus: A Sahidic Version of Deuteronomy, Jonah, and Acts of the Apostles From Ms. Or. 7594 of the British Museum The great importance of the new manuscript, which is a papyrus in Codex form, lies in the fact that there are means of dating it. The text of the three books, which is written in literary uncials, is followed by a short text, also in Coptic, in cursive writing. It is a familiar fact to scholars that the literary hands of the early centuries of the Christian era are peculiarly difficult to date on purely palaeographical grounds when there is no other evidence to determine their, limits. If a general consensus as to the dates of the earliest Greek biblical uncial mss has been reached, it is mainly from external considera tions. Cursive writing however is not beset with the same difficulty. The large number of dated documents in cursive script which Egypt has yielded enables palaeographers to date such writing with very considerable accuracy, and hence this piece of cursive Coptic writing, as the Copts used Greek characters, has enabled Sir F. Kenyon to say that it is not later than AD 350, which throws back the biblical text to an earlier date by some 30 or 40 years at least in all probability.
