Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ...against the evil eye.2 Probably it had on it the 113th or 114th suras of the Quran, perhaps both. It is for this reason that these suras get the name aji, though some will have it that this name is given to them because each begins with Ji. It is interesting to note that in Sura 113 we read of B--» 5--c----s ti the magic knot Asc plural of Ins.. SoU and hf are used interchangeably with Wys. The next word to note in this connection is which has been wrongly identified with fjc. This last consists, as has been seen, of an amulet with a Quran inscription. on the other hand, is a black bead speckled with white, though there is room for doubt as to its exact shape. Freytag, however, followed by Wellhausen,3 says it is a necklace and not a bead, as Lane maintains. Besides differing in form from its use was forbidden by Mohammed, while the former was allowed. A connection is suggested by Freytag with the D'Qrf worn by the high priest, Deut. xxxiii. 8, etc. Later Jewish scholars think that this has some connection with magic. Gildemeister considers to be a mere transcription of the Greek Telesma (r&tojua), whence the English 1 See Wellh. Reste, 161, note 3. J lb., p. 165, note 4. 3 Wellh. Reste, p. 166. "talisman." The usual explanation of the word is that it comes from (to be complete), because it was believed to keep the person whole or healthy. The tamima was worn by women and children only. As the boy grew up to manhood this amulet was taken from his neck. Though Islam disowns the name, this kind of amulet is still to be seen worn by the Meccan boys. Sjw (strictly what hinders, keeps off) is used to describe an amulet which was kept in a case called-» c. and suspended on the right side by a string passing over the left...

Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ...with the traditional text, in order to make the facts square with the theories, instead of the reverse. The first form of this disquisition is to be met with in an English dress.1 In the Commentaries on Psalms and Job he shows marvellous power of entering into the mind and mood of the writer. Let any merely English reader go through the English rendering of Ewald's Job? and he will marvel at the psychological skill with which the characters in the poem are delineated and the author's scheme set forth. There is not nearly the appearance of learning that one meets with in the best modern Commentaries, as, e.g., those of Delitzsch, Dillmann, Cheyne, Driver, and Moore. Not much Hebrew type shows itself on the printed page. There is no great display of names; nor is much said of opinions other than his own. This was exactly the method he followed in class.3 He was usually content with stating and defending what he thought the right conception of the text. But there is never wanting complete sympathy between the commentator and his author, and no one has been more successful in surrounding the book explained and even the parts with an atmosphere which seems, at least, to suit the connection, 1 See Bibliography, No. II. 2 Ibid. 3 See p. 38. and which makes the song or the poem very real and impressive. His Commentaries on the Prophets are yet finer performances. He was himself a prophet as sincere, intuitive, intense, and fearless as Amos or Hosea, as Isaiah or Jeremiah. Writing in 1870, " T. K. Cheyne, M.A., Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford," says: "Ewald's work on the Prophets is certainly the most important contribution ever made to the study of the subject."1 His interest lies not so much in questions of introduction, authorship, date, and...
