# Book of the Knight Zifar

The Book of the Knight Zifar (originally Livro del cavallero Cifar, in modern orthography Libro del caballero Zifar) is the earliest fictional adventure tale in prose in the Spanish language. It was written around 1300, probably by a cleric of Toledo, Ferrand Martínez (not Ferrand Martínez, Archdeacon of Écija), who is mentioned in the prologue. The book has much affinity with contemporary works of chivalric romance.
The Book of the Knight Zifar has been transmitted in two manuscripts. The first is a fifteenth-century codex known by the letter "M", and catalogued as MS. 11.309 in the Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid. The second is Spanish MS. 36, called codex "P", in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris. The latter, compiled in 1464, is generally referred to simply as the "Paris manuscript" and is well-illustrated with colourful miniatures. Two further examples of the Knight Zifar printed in Seville in 1512 survive.
The book is an adaptation of the legendary life of Saint Eustace, who before his conversion was a Roman general named Placidus (Plácidas in Spanish). The knight Zifar is a medieval Placidus-cum-Eustace, and his story shares in part the didactic function of Eustacian hagiography, but in other respects is epic and chivalric. After being separated from his family, Zifar finds himself King of Menton. His son Roboam, after receiving an education, is separated from his family, only to end up emperor.

# Edwin D. Peacock

Edwin D. Peacock (January 2, 1910 – August 23, 1989) was the owner of the Book Basement in Charleston with his longtime partner John Zeigler. He was also friends with Carson McCullers who used him as inspiration for a character in The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.

## Biography

Edwin D. Peacock was born in 1910 in Thomasville, Georgia, the son of a druggist. His mother was born on her family's ante-bellum Greenwood Plantation.
After graduating from high school and working for a couple of years for his father, Peacock moved to Columbus, Georgia and worked for the Civilian Conservation Corps. In Columbus he met Carson McCullers, and it was Peacock who encouraged her to write and introduced her future husband James Reeves McCullers Jr.. Peacock is fictionalized as the homosexual deaf-mute, John Singer, in her first novel, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
Peacock met his eventual lifetime partner John Zeigler in July 1940 at Isle of Palms, South Carolina. Roberta Johnson, a mutual friend of Peacock and Zeigler, was the one to introduce the two. Peacock had been working in Fort Moultrie's finance office when he and Zeigler first met. Shortly after, the pair moved to Tesuque, New Mexico, and then to San Francisco, California in 1941. Zeigler and Peacock decided to enlist together in the Naval Reserve in April 1942 as apprentice seamen. Their training was started in San Diego, California. Afterwards, both men attended radio school in Boulder, Colorado after volunteering to change to the rating of radioman. Zeigler's was stationed in Yukutat, Alaska while Peacock was stationed in Cape Chiniak, Alaska.
In 1946 the partners Edwin Peacock and John Zeigler opened a bookshop "The Book Basement", in Charleston, on the ground floor of 9 College Way. The Book Basement became a leading independent bookstore, the meeting place for various civil rights groups. Gay men passing through Charleston knew to visit the bookshop, including Maurice Sendak and Langston Hughes, who became friends of the owners. A drawing of the building by Prentiss Taylor was used on advertising events for the store for many years. They closed the bookstore in 1971. Today a plaque in front of the building remembers Peacock and Zeigler.
Zeigler published a cycle of memorial poems on their relationship, The Edwin Poems.
Peacock died in 1989 and is buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery, Thomasville, alongside his parents.
In 2009 James T. Sears wrote Edwin and John: A Personal History of the American South, published by Routledge.

# Brazilian Syncretic Religions

Brazil had a profound racial miscegenation, Brazilians have the most diverse physical characteristics. Research indicates that 44% of Brazilians have two religions. Official data from the Brazilian census indicate that 1,011,507 Brazilians have two religions or follow a syncretic religion. Because to miscegenation it is common for a person to have a father of one race and religion and a mother of another race and another religion, naturally that person can adopt the two beliefs or follow a religion that mixes the two beliefs.
Many Afro-Brazilian religions are called Macumba, but generally macumba is a vague word for any religion from Africa. Tambor de Mina is a highly syncretic religious tradition, combining cultural elements of colonial Brazil and Portuguese culture with elements of the religious culture of the first Brazilian African slaves. Candomblé is an Afro-Brazilian religion that mixes African beliefs with Catholic art and visuals. Many criticize that candomble is considered a syncretic religion, arguing that slaves needed to adopt Catholic elements so as not to be reprimanded by slave owners.
Santo Daime, is a religion founded by Raimundo Irineu Serra known as Mestre Irineu, Raimundo was a Catholic who served as a soldier in the Brazilian Amazon, during that period he had contact with indigenous cults involving the sacred ayahuasca plant, used by the natives of the Brazilian Amazon. Santo Daime is a religion that mixes Marianism with native Brazilian beliefs. Daime is an abbreviation of the Portuguese phrase 'give me love' (Dai-me Amor). The Santo Daime religion has managed to reach other countries, it is possible to consider that it is a world religion. Umbanda is a Kardecist Spiritism, Afro-Brazilian and Brazilian Shamanist religion, it emerged after a Kardecist medium Zélio Fernandino de Moraes came to accept the spirits of Natives and Blacks, Umbanda broke with traditional spiritism.
Pentecostalism in Brazil has ritualistic characteristics of Afro-Brazilian religions, it is also very popular among black Brazilians, although Pentecostals deny that there is a syncretism between criticism and Afro-Brazilian religions. One of the most popular Pentecostal churches in Brazil, the IURD (Igrja Universal do Reino de Deus), has an open relationship of syncretism with Judaism. Brazilian Jewish authorities reject this syncretism.
