Shihāb ad-Dīn Yahyā ibn Amirak ibn Abī al-Futuh Suhrawardī, renowned Persian philosophy, theosopher and Sufi, was born in 549 AH (1155 CE) in the province of al-Jabal in Azerbaijan, formerly a province in north-western Iran. He is now known in philosophical and theosophical works as Shaykh al-Ishrāq (master of Illuminationist philosophy), in recognition of his founding a distinct philosophical, theosophical and Sufi tradition known as Falsafa al-Ishrāq (illuminationist philosophy) or al-hikma al-mashriqīyya (oriental theosophy). He was imprisoned in Aleppo on the orders of Salah ad-Dīn (Saladin), on account of his Sufi teachings, and finally put to death at the age of thirty or thirty-eight (1191). He is thus also known in Sufi writings as Shaykh al-Maqtūl (the murdered master) or the martyred shaykh (shahīd). The most comprehensive information about his life is now to be found in a work by his pupil Shahrazūrī, also known as an authentic commentator on Suhrawardī’s great work of philosophy entitled Kitāb hikma al-ishrāq (the Book of Illuminationist Wisdom).

The inquiries presented in this monograph cover the entirety of the religious and cultural heritage created by the Orthodox monastic communities that have existed for a thousand years on the Holy Mount Athos in Greece. The research shows the scope and the way of using the sense of sight as a creator and at the same time a receptor of material and spiritual reality, which is manifested in the local liturgy, architecture, art and literature, as well as in mysticism, prayer and the way of everyday life of monks. The scale of the involvement of the sight in the creation and interpretation of Athos reality is determined by two existential factors – on the one hand, the usability of natural creations and works of human hands, and on the other hand, the influence of things on human consciousness in the physical and metaphysical dimension of being. As a result of the visual integration of these two processes, the objects used on the Holy Mount in sacred and secular activities gain their own agency, which manifests itself in their practical and symbolic functions. Due to the fact that these functions are performed in relations with their contractors, things, thus, become props with the help of which people express and interpret their faith and knowledge, experienced emotions, as well as their own attitude towards the world and fellow human beings. Using the sight in this process takes places in several ranges of vision: (1) mystical insight, (2) perception of light, (3) perception of shapes, (4) vision of colors, (5) motion detection.

This study is aimed to introduce national and international databases which standout specifically in the Islamic sciences, libraries and digital media that identifies citation. Moreover, databases on citation are also included in the research. The literature review is one of the pillars of academic work. Nowadays, literature review is made mostly with databases in virtual environments that can be accessed via internet. There is not a single database which contains the literature of all disciplines of Islamic sciences in detail. It will be possible to reach a more comprehensive literature with multiple database searches. However, the upcoming developments show that databases will expand their scope day by day. In this context,classical sources, manuscripts, historical records, archives and registers, current studies (books, theses, articles), academic and popular magazines, visual materials(posters, postcards, stamps, etc.), audio and video records, newspapers, will be completely transferred to the digital media and made available to the users within the scope of these databases. Islamic sciences academia is rapidly digitalizing.Much electronic scientific software continues to develop. Our study is limited by the introduction of the databases which has been used frequently in Turkey Theology and Islamic Studies faculties. Especially it is aimed to introduce literature review and the websites that fresh postgraduates should see and know. In this study, relevant databases are introduced by obtaining introductory information from the official web sites of databases and libraries widely known in the Islamic sciences field. Moreover, the answers of the following questions were tried to be given and demonstrated in practice: “How to search for a thesis, article, and journal in a digital environment or database in the field of Theology? How is it found?Where is it located?” While demonstrating the application, database and the part of the library that needs attention has been confirmed with the screenshots of each directory.

In the face of ever increasing wounds, when many people do not know how to heal them, or they do not believe healing is possible, pope Francis appeals for “a revolution of tenderness”, which is a path to renew Christian humanism. He urges Christians to create it. It is going to help convert callous hearts into open hearts full of love. Only “seeing with our hearts” enables us to say “no” to globalized indifference and provisional thinking. In connection to this, the pope proposes life based on intimate relationship with Mary. The present times are Her times. It is well worth joining Mary in Her school, since She teaches the alphabet of Christian humanism. This issue belongs to main themes of Francis’s teaching. It is not all about the doctrine, but rather about life attitude. He assumes that Mary is the best image of Christian humanity in the practice of daily life. We need Her genius and womanly style in order for the theological reflection to be less abstract or theoretical, but delicate, descriptive, and practical. Francis’s project of Mary’s humble participation in the work of Christian humanism has not been examined as yet. Actually, it is a concept of crucial importance to his Mariology. This present monograph aspires, at least partially, to fill the gap. It does not embrace the whole subject and is not exhaustive. It is a valuable contribution, which helps to comprehend the originality of pope Bergoglio’s Mariology.

The subject of the dissertation is the cognitio symbolica in the preaching work of the Franciscan Antoni Węgrzynowicz. It manifests in the author’s use of symbolic structures (here senso largo, including allegory, metaphor and other structures based on analogy). There are three terms in the title: sources, applications, and contexts. Thus, „symbolic thinking” is shown not only as a creative technique (application), but also its genesis (sources) and the accompanying, not always obvious, contexts are described.

The inquiries presented in this monograph cover the audible dimension of the religious and cultural heritage created by the Orthodox monastic communities that have existed for a thousand years on the Holy Mount Athos in Greece. The research shows the scope and method of using the sense of hearing and sounds as creators and receptors of material and spiritual reality, manifested in liturgical singing, art, as well as in mysticism, prayer and the everyday way of life of monks. It is also about the specificity of the church architecture, subordinated to the acoustics of the voice. The scale of the involvement of hearing in the creation and interpretation of Athos reality is determined by two factors – the extraction of sounds from the creations of nature, the human vocal apparatus and the works of human hands. As a result of the auditory integration of the world of sounds, the acoustic landscape of the Holy Mountain is created. It is an expression of the emotive perception of reality, which thus acquires a deeply human dimension. It fits in with the metaphysical perspective of experiencing God in sonic hierophany. The use of the sense of hearing in this experiencing the Athos sacrum is described in the following chapters, taking into account 5 aspects of the sound landscape of the Holy Mountain: (1) the specificity of the auditory experience of the sacred, (2) the characteristics of silence as a space of hesychasm, (3) voices of nature, (4) sounds produced in the space of culture, (5) liturgical singing.

THE ORIGINAL COPY FOR DIGITZATION HAS BEEN PRINTED IN GERMAN FRAKTURA FONT. PLEASE EDIT THE TABLE OF CONTENT FILE TO MAKE SURE, THAT YOU’LL BE ABLE TO READ THE TEXT. // The reason for this work was given to me by Adolf Harnack's study published last year under the title "The spirit of the oriental church in contrast to the occidental one". ... Who should answer Harnack's questions on behalf of the Christian East? ... The intelligentsia of the Christian East, which creates its general culture, must give an account of what it is owing for its cultural work to its own religious history and how the spirit and yield of this work, which for the West is primarily embodied in Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy, should be related to the values of the Occident: whether Orient and Occident are hostile to each other, or whether both form a higher, basically identical unit.

FROM AUTHOR’s PREFACE: Since the appearance of this book ten years ago, the literature on its subject has considerably increased. The learned work of Troeltsch, the best introduction to the historical study of religious thought on social issues, can now be read in an English translation, as can also the articles of Weber on The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. The omission from my book of any reference to post-Reformation Catholic opinion was a serious defect, which subsequent writers have done something to repair. The development of economic thought in medieval Italy; the social forces at work in the Germany of Luther, and his attitude to them; the economic doctrines of Calvin; the teaching of the Jesuits on usury and allied topics; English social policy during the Interregnum; the religious and social outlook of the French bourgeoisie of the same period; the attitude of Quakers, Wesleyans, and other bodies of English Nonconformists to the changing economic world which confronted them in the eighteenth century, have all had books devoted to them. In the somewhat lengthy list of articles on these and kindred subjects, those by the late Professor Sée, M. Halbwachs, and Mr Parsons, and an article by Mr. Gordon Walker which has just appeared in The Economic History Review, specially deserve attention. It will be seen, therefore, that the problems treated in the following pages, if they continue to perplex, have not ceased to arouse interest
