Abu Al-Hasan Bakri
Abū al-Ḥasan Bakrī is the purported author of several Islamic literature, Islamic works in Arabic, most notably a Prophetic biography, biography of Muḥammad entitled ''Kitāb al-anwār'' ('Book of Lights'). There is no consensus regarding his historicity (whether he lived) or his floruit (when he lived). Life Franz Rosenthal, Boaz Shoshan and Frederick Colby all accept that Bakrī existed, at least as a working hypothesis. The question of his existence is unresolved because many of the works attributed to him remain unpublished and unanalyzed. The main competing eras for Bakrī's life are the ninth and thirteenth centuries AD. The earliest Islamic biographical dictionary to have an entry on Bakrī is that of al-Dhahabī, who died in 1348. The ''Anwār'' cites authors who wrote in the second half of the 13th century, and there is a dated manuscript of the work from 1295. Accepting that Bakrī was the final compiler or ''rāwī'' (transmitter) of the ''Anwār'', Rosenthal argue ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Abbey Of Cluny
Cluny Abbey (; , formerly also ''Cluni'' or ''Clugny''; ) is a former Benedictine monastery in Cluny, Saône-et-Loire, France. It was dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul. The abbey was constructed in the Romanesque architectural style, with three churches built in succession from the 4th to the early 12th centuries. The earliest basilica was the world's largest church until the St. Peter's Basilica construction began in Rome. Cluny was founded by Duke William I of Aquitaine in 910. He nominated Berno as the first abbot of Cluny, subject only to Pope Sergius III. The abbey was notable for its stricter adherence to the Rule of St. Benedict, whereby Cluny became acknowledged as the leader of western monasticism. In 1790 during the French Revolution, the abbey was sacked and mostly destroyed, with only a small part surviving. Starting around 1334, the Abbots of Cluny maintained a townhouse in Paris known as the Hôtel de Cluny, which has been a public museum since 1843. ...

Shelfmark
A shelfmark is a mark in a book or manuscript that denotes the cupboard or bookcase where it is kept as well as the shelf and possibly even its location on the shelf. The closely related term pressmark (from press, meaning cupboard) denotes only the cupboard or case. It is distinct from a call number, which is the code under which a book or manuscript is registered and which is used to identify it when ordering it. Sometimes a shelfmark or pressmark may be used as a call number, but in other cases the call number contains no information about the book's physical location. In certain American institutions, shelfmark and call number are combined to create a long code containing information on location, classification, size, binding, author and date.Peter Beal (ed.), ''A Dictionary of English Manuscript Terminology, 1450–2000'' (Oxford University Press, 2008), s.v"shelf-mark" [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
