  Christianity and the Qur'an -...

  A leading Qur'anic scholar's revisionary account of how Islam emerged in dialogue with Christian traditions Challenging the dominant narrative about the history of the Qur'an and the emergence of Islam in a predominantly pagan context, Gabriel Said Reynolds presents the Qur'an as a text born within a largely Christian culture. As he examines the ways the Qur'an engages with Christian traditions—not only those of the New Testament but also those of late antique Christian literature—and with Christians themselves, Reynolds also draws on recent scholarship on pre-Islamic Arabic inscriptions suggesting that monotheism, Christianity in particular, was a significant presence in the pre-Islamic Hijaz, the region in which Muhammad preached. This study resituates the Qur'an as a text thoroughly concerned with Christianity, not just the longer narratives of individuals such as Mary and Jesus but also passages that do not mention Christians explicitly. The Qur'an's stance toward Christianity is on occasion controversial, aiming to advance Islamic theology and undermine Christian apologetical arguments, yet the Qur'an is not always polemical. At times, the text makes use of the audience's knowledge of the Bible to advance its own vision of God and God's relationship with humanity.

  Richard le Gallienne was an English poet and critic, who, although unfamiliar with the Persian language, had a profound interest in the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. In 1897 he published a collection of 211 quatrains, which was based on earlier English translations, in particular the prose version by Justin Huntly McCarthy. A expanded edition, containing fifty additional quatrains was published in 1901, and this has been used for the present recording. (Summary by Algy Pug)

  The Library of Alexandria: When Knowledge Nearly Disappeared is a comprehensive historical narrative that chronicles the rise and tragic fall of humanity's greatest repository of ancient knowledge. This meticulously researched work traces the Library's journey from Alexander the Great's ambitious vision through the Ptolemaic golden age to its ultimate destruction across multiple catastrophic events. 
  The book is structured in five distinct parts: The Birth of Wonder explores Alexander's dream and the Ptolemies' grand project to create the world's first universal library; The Golden Age of Knowledge celebrates the revolutionary discoveries in mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and literature that emerged from this intellectual paradise; The Seeds of Decline examines how political upheaval and religious transformation gradually undermined the institution; What Was Lost catalogs the irreplaceable treasures of human knowledge that vanished forever; and Lessons for the Digital Age draws urgent parallels between ancient Alexandria and our contemporary digital knowledge infrastructure. 
  Written in an engaging, accessible style that brings ancient scholars like Euclid, Eratosthenes, and Hypatia vividly to life, the book serves as both a celebration of human intellectual achievement and a sobering warning about the fragility of knowledge preservation. It demonstrates how the Library's destruction was not a single catastrophic event but a series of tragic episodes spanning centuries—from Julius Caesar's fire to Christian destruction of pagan learning to the final Arab conquest.
