Henry Stubbe (1632-1676) was an extraordinary English scholar who challenged his contemporaries by writing about Islam as a monotheistic revelation in continuity with Judaism and Christianity. His major work, The Originall & Progress of Mahometanism, was the first English text to document the Prophet Muhammad's life positively, celebrate the Qur'an as a divine revelation, and praise the Muslim toleration of Christians, undermining a long legacy of European prejudice and hostility. Nabil Matar, a leading scholar of Islamic-British relations, standardizes Stubbe's text and situates it within England's theological and intellectual climate in the seventeenth century. He shows how, to draw a historical portrait of Muhammad, Stubbe embraced travelogues, Latin commentaries, studies on Jewish customs and Scripture, and, most important, Arabic chronicles, many written by medieval Christian Arabs who had lived in the midst of the Islamic polity. No European writer before or for a long time after Stubbe produced anything similar to what he wrote about Muhammad the "great Prophet," Ali the "gallant" advocate, and the "standing miracle" of the Qur'an. Stubbe's book therefore makes a unique contribution to the study of the representation of Islam in Western thought.

The seventh-century CE Hebrew work <i>Sefer Zerubbabel </i>(Book of Zerubbabel), composed during the period of conflict between Persia and the Byzantine Empire for control over Palestine, is the first full-fledged messianic narrative in Jewish literature. Martha Himmelfarb offers a comprehensive analysis of this rich but understudied text, illuminating its distinctive literary features and the complex milieu from which it arose.<br/><br/><i>Sefer Zerubbabel</i> presents itself as an angelic revelation of the end of times to Zerubbabel, a biblical leader of the sixth century BCE, and relates a tale of two messiahs who, as Himmelfarb shows, play a major role in later Jewish narratives. The first messiah, a descendant of Joseph, dies in battle at the hands of Armilos, the son of Satan who embodies the Byzantine Empire. He is followed by a messiah descended from David modeled on the suffering servant of Isaiah, who brings him back to life and triumphs over Armilos. The mother of the Davidic messiah also figures in the work as a warrior.<br/><br/>Himmelfarb places <i>Sefer Zerubbabel</i> in the dual context of earlier Jewish eschatology and Byzantine Christianity. The role of the messiah's mother, for example, reflects the Byzantine notion of the Virgin Mary as the protector of Constantinople. On the other hand, <i>Sefer Zerubbabel </i>shares traditions about the messiahs with rabbinic literature. But while the rabbis are ambivalent about these traditions, <i>Sefer Zerubbabel</i> embraces them with enthusiasm.

Five Quintets Bok
<i>The Five Quintets</i> is both poetry and cultural history. It offers a sustained reflection on modernity - people and movements - in poetic meter. Just as Dante, in his <i>Divine Comedy</i>, summed up the Middle Ages on the cusp of modernity, <i>The Five Quintets </i>takes stock of a late modern world on the cusp of the first-ever global century.<br/><br/>Celebrated Irish poet Micheal O'Siadhail structures his <i>Quintets</i> to echo the <i>Comedy</i>. Where Dante had a tripartite structure ( <i>Inferno</i>, <i>Purgatorio</i>, and <i>Paradiso</i>), O'Siadhail has a five-part structure, with each quintet devoted to a discipline - the arts; economics; politics; science; and philosophy and theology. Each quintet is also marked by a different form: sonnets interspersed by haikus (""saikus""), iambic pentameter, terza rima, and two other invented forms.<br/><br/> <i>The Five Quintets </i>captivates even as it instructs, exploring the ever-changing flow of ideas and the individuals whose contributions elicited change and reflected their times. The artists, economists, politicians, scientists, and philosophers O'Siadhail features lived complex lives, often full of contradictions. Others, though deeply rooted in their context, transcended their time and place and pointed beyond themselves - even to us and to a time after modernity's reign.<br/><br/>The ancient Horace commended literature that delivered ""profit with delight."" In <i>The Five Quintets</i>, Micheal O'Siadhail has done just that: he delights us in the present with his artistry, even as he reveals hidden treasures of our past and compels us toward the future.
