The literary meaning ofzlldkdmahu is \"the ones who are like him\". In Heb. 1:9 and in John Chrysostom's quotation of this verse, the expression stands for ol fxeVoxoi\" [his] fellows.\" Cowley translates the dlld kdmahu (which stands for Chrysostom's ol tie'roxoi) with \"the ones like him\" while, as Cowley shows (p. 345) Gardiner translates the same ol peroxoi with \"His fellows\". Cowley has not checked the Geez Gen. 18:10 ('amd kdmd yom \" a year from this day \") before translating the phrase amd kdmd yom (from MS. d'Abbadie 156, f. 7a, col. 1) as \"At the time like today\" (p. 106). The copyists do not carefully distinguish 'a from a when copying such as 'dm(d) \"year\" and amd \"when\", \"at the time\". As my pedantism shows, it is not easy to find serious mistakes in Cowley's works. Scholars in Ethiopian and biblical studies will remain always grateful for this generous gift. Dr Cowley will be remembered as the founder of Ethiopian exegetical studies. Ndfs yvmar.","PeriodicalId":81727,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain & Ireland.

Since these in no way correspond to Ottoman miniature paintings of the period one may assume that they are the work of an Italian artist not least because they mirror western charts of the period. Whether he was a prisoner or free-lance working for Piri Reis or not offers a vista of fields for research. What is exceptional is the drawing of the vessels at sea, or moored, of all types which include carracks three-quarter face on. The quality and accuracy of this draughtsmanship suggests a training of a superior quality to the portrayal of architecture or the stylization of hills and other geographical features. Drawings may be copied by apprentices but it would still suggest a sure hand and an accurate eye were responsible for these decorative ships, whoever else manned the workshop. One hopes the old seaman was pleased.","PeriodicalId":81727,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain & Ireland.

If any more general criticism is to be levelled against the work it can only be on the grounds that, if it is intended to be an introduction to the complexities of textual studies, the result is perhaps too complex, and will leave beginners floundering, with the feeling that such studies lack principles, so that editors and translators are free to follow their own inclinations. It might have been better, particularly with regard to giving guidance as to the way in which individual readings are selected in a text, to have chosen works which were each accompanied by a critical edition, and to have persuaded the editors to explain how and why, and on what principles, they preferred one reading to another. Perhaps the editors of the series will be able to do this in a later volume.","PeriodicalId":81727,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain & Ireland.

Taylor","doi":"10.1017/S0035869X00108998","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0035869X00108998","url":null,"abstract":"Moreover, either in principle or in practice, houses or clans in eastern Indonesia may sometimes be involved in symmetrical marital exchanges. In consequence, I find figures 1 and 5b a gross over-simplification, in places technically incorrect, and probably very misleading. Finally, there is the assertion of methodological integrity. This \"is an essay about 'Us ' meeting 'Them'\" (p. 26), in which the author is mercifully happy to seek accuracy, while abhorring objectivity. Given such lofty claims, the vagueness of some of the statements and the mis-use of the comparative method is surprising. The book opens, for example, with a description of birth ritual which, while incorporating the device of direct selective quotation from fieldnotes which one supposes is deemed to confer privileged authority then proceeds to generalise and interpolate commentary. What are we to make of this? Are the generalisations derived from the extracts presented? Are there other notes on the same subject of which this is a distillation, or have secondary sources been employed? Is there garbling going-on? I am not sure. I mention these things only because the author herself has made a virtue of a particular kind of integrity: the claim to inside knowledge. Surprising also, in view of this, is the selfconscious stylishness of the text. We must \"not import alien ideas\" (p. 238) says Professor Errington, while all the while \"snorkeling\" texts (p. 12) and making much of elaborate ethnocentric culinary metaphors involving souffle pans and cookie trays. If even this author errs, perhaps there is no alternative. Behind all the pretension we have here in literary terms an undeniably well-written book by an author with a lively imagination, who is clearly nobody's fool and much taken to meditating with effect on the seminal ideas of others. There are important insights, and no doubt her confident models of \"centrist\" and \"Eastern Indonesian\" societies will get some mileage. But as ethnography it is fatally partial and inconsistent in terms set by the author herself. At the general level, at which it purports to have some relevance, it repeats a number of anthropological commonplaces while actually telling us little that is new.","PeriodicalId":81727,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain & Ireland.
