The Holy Road as a Bridge: The Role of Chapter 35 in the Book of Isaiah

This article argues that chapter 35 serves as a bridge between mainly Proto- and Deutero-Isaiah, but partly also to Trito-Isaiah. Its method is to compare intertextually phraseology in chapter 35 with similarities in the other parts of the Book of Isaiah. Outlook is all the way from chapter 35, backwards to Proto- and forwards to Deutero- and Trito-Isaiah. In summary, there are a series of intertextual relations to particular parts of Proto-Isaiah, especially to those parts were blessings predominate over curses, while the intertextual relations to Deutero-Isaiah are closer to the essence of its message, in particular to chapters 40-48. Intertextual relations between chapter 35 and Trito-Isaiah are more sparse. Intertextually these relations are mainly from the “canon-before-canon” stage (cf. Fishbane) of the text, rather than “author intended intertextuality” (cf. Nielsen). But there is also an aspect of “editor intended intertextuality” (cf. Nielsen). The investigation demonstrates how central this chapter is in the Book of Isaiah, but it is intertextually closest related to Deutero-Isaiah.

Jakob Philipp Fallmerayer and George Finlay

Abstract

The collection of Finlay Papers in the British School at Athens though throwing invaluable light on the character of George Finlay and on conditions in the Greece and western Europe of his day, are by no means complete in their coverage. The diaries cover only certain years; the Letter Book records mainly family and business correspondence; the actual copies of surviving letters both to and from Finlay—apart from Finlay to Leake or Leicester Warren—seem to owe their preservation to chance rather than policy. Yet Finlay was no less interested in the history of Trebizond than in Greek topography or in numismatics, and a stray survival among his papers seems to indicate that he had closer relations with Fallmerayer than is suggested by the almost total omission of any reference to him in the works on the Fragmentist (as Fallmerayer called himself). The editor of Fallmerayer's collected works, his best friend G. M. Thomas (the ‘carissimus Thomas’ of the Tagebücher), does mention the generosity of Fallmerayer's attitude towards Finlay's work on Trebizond, but that is about all.

上博竹书《孔子诗论》与风雅正变

孔子生于春秋末期,他对于诗的态度,其论诗、传诗的实践,对《诗》的传播及其进而为经典都产生了重要作用。最近出版的《上海博物馆藏战国楚竹书》中“孔子诗论”,为我们研究孔子与《诗》的关系又做了献上的丰富：首先,《孔子诗论》充分证明了先秦的用诗风气之盛;其次,在《孔子诗论》中,孔子基本是从诗的本义出发来评价诗篇的风格,与后儒定义“风雅正变’说有很大差距;第三,传统诗论中的“美刺”说可以说完全是对《诗经》的误解。对封建时代的一些错误的诗说,《孔子诗论》为我们作了全新的辨正,为我们认识《诗》的本来面目提供了极大的献价值。
