description: Das Ergebnis beruht auf Untersuchungen von Faltern, nach denen ZELLER die Coleo- phora oriolella und CHRÉTIEN die Coleophora mongetella beschrieben hatten. Auch altere Stiicke dieser Arten aus Museum-Sammlungen und viele eigene Fange aus dem Siidalpen- raum wurden verglichen und untersucht. Wahrend ZELLER, wahrscheinlich durch eine Verwechslung von ]. MANN ein falsches Substrat fiir die Raupe und dadurch auch einen falschen Raupensack angab, was bis in neueste Zeit immer wieder abgeschrieben wurde, ziichtete CHRÉTIEN diese Art als erster und beschrieb sie deshalb als andere Art. Durch den Fund des Sackes in Ligurien, bestehend aus einem Samen von Dorycnium, der zur ausgezeichneten Beschreibung CHRÉTIENs passt und ein erfolgreiches Zuchtergebnis, bleibt kein Zweifel i.iber die Zusammengehorigkeit der Arten und i.iber die richtige Lebensweise von Coleophora oriolella Zll.

description: Im Vergleich mit Metalampra cinnamomea Zll. wird die ihr ausserlich ahnliche Metalampra italica n. sp. beschrieben. Letztere zeichnet sich gegeniiber der cinnamomea in der Farbung der Fliigel durch eine mehr rotbraune Tonung aus, wahrend diese bass- braun ist. Die Geschlechtsorgane beider Arten sind deutlich verschieden.

Durch griindliche Forschung konnte der Autor die unberschriebene Art an vit:len Pliitzen Italiens feststellen, so besonders im Norden, aber auch in der Toscana und gen Siiden bis Calabrien. Bislang gibt es noch keine Funde in den benachbarten Uindern. Im Gegensatz dazu wurde Metalampra cinnamomea in Italien bis jetz nur in den Alpen im Aosta und Eisacktal in wenigen Stiicken gefunden.

Die Lebensgewohnheiten der Metalampra italica werden besprochen.

Viene descritta Metalampra (Borkhausenia) italica n. sp., specie a probabile larga diffusione sul territorio italiano. La specie è confrontata con la affine cinnamomea Zll. dalla quale differisce per la morfologia esterna e soprattutto per la struttura degli apparati genitali maschile e femminile.

description: RESUL TS OF CHEMICAL CONTROL AGAINST Coccus pseudomagnoliarum (KUW .)

(Homoptera, Coccidae)

Chemical tests for the control of nymphs of the Coccid, Coccus pseudomagnoliarum (Kuw.), on Orange trees were carried out in Sicily.
 . Seven experiments, including the untreated control, compare the following products: 1.5% white oil, l % white oil+0.04% Methydathion, l % white olio+0,04% Methylparathion, 0.06% Methydathion, 0.06% Methylparathion and 0.05% Methomyl. The re- sults obtained with the different insecticides used are statistically significant compared with the control, but identica! ,among themselves. In view of this and in consideration of the unfavourable effects on the entomophagous fauna of some insecticides such as organic phosphorates and carbammates, the use of white oil alone is considered suf!ìcient and recommended for control of this coccid.

Vengono esposti i risultati di prove di lotta chimica eseguite su Arancio in Sicilia contro le neanidi della cocciniglia Coccus pseudomagnoliarum (Kuw.).

Le tesi sperimentali, in numero complessivo di 7, compreso il testimone non trattato, mettono a confronto i seguenti prodotti: Olio bianco 1,5%, Olio bianco l% + Methidathion 0,04%, Olio bianco 1% + Metilparathion 0,04%, Methidathion 0,06%, Metil- parathion 0,06% e Metomil 0,05%. I risultati conseguiti con i diversi prodotti impiegati sono statisticamente significativi nei confronti del testimone, ma identici fra di loro. In relazione a ciò e in considerazone degli effetti sfavorevoli sull'artropodofauna degli entomofagi di alcuni prodotti insetticidi, quali fosforati organici e carbammati, l'impiego del solo olio bianco viene ritenuto sufficiente per il controllo della cocciniglia.

description: SOME REMARKS ON THE EVOLUTIONISTIC MEANING OF THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE MANDIBULAR

CHARACTERS IN THE LARVAE OF SOME SPECIES OF THE SUBF. Dytiscinae

The purpose of this paper is to provide data for the inspection of an hypothesis that the author sketched out in a previous paper (DE MARZO, 1976b) - that the patterns of mandibula of the larvae of the subf. Dytiscinae have their morphogenetic origin in the mandibular pattern of the larva of Melanodytes pustulatus (subf. Colymbetinae). The mandibulae of 8 species (5 genera, 5 tribes) of the subf. Dytiscinae are described in detail and the data collected in this way are analized. Five patterns of mandibula are singled - one pattern for each genus taken into consideration - whose characteristics

appear such to support the initial hypothesis.
 The five patterns, in fact, look to have a common ongm, mainly because they ali

show a pubescence - on the ventral lip of the fare orifice of the mandibular groove - which is interpreted as inherited from an unique pattern, having that pubescence. In the opinion of the author, this precursory pattern might be the pattern of Melanodytes pustulatus.

Viene vagliata l'ipotesi di lavoro, avanzata in un precedente studio. secondo la quale i modelli di mandibola delle larve della subf. Dytiscinae deriverebbero dal modello osservato nella larva di Melanodytes pustulatus Rossi (subf. Colymbetinae). A tale scopo, vengono dettagliatamente esaminate ed analizzate le caratteristiche delle mandibole delle larve di otto specie della subf. Dytiscinae. Vengono così individuati cinque modelli di mandibola, uno per ciascuno dei generi presi in considerazione, le cui caratteristiche appaiono tali da sostenere l'ipotesi di lavoro suddetta.

description: MORPHOLOGY OF THE THREE LARV AL INST ARS OF O r e o d y t e s r i v a l i s GYLL. AND H y p h y d r u s aubei GANGLB. AND SOME REMARKS ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE ESOSKELETRIC CHARACTERS IN THE LARVAL FORMS OF THE SUBF. Hydroporinae

The three larval instars of two species of the subf. Hydroporinae are described and compared each other. These species, Hyphydrus aubei and Oreodytes rivalis, belong respec- tively to the I and to the XX - and last - european genus of the Subfamily; they are, besides, largely different under the point of view of the larva! morphology, because they show a very different shape of the «frontal horn», which is a peculiar structure of the Hydroporinae larvae.

Such a choise allows to identify the characters whose behaviour shows a tendency to be variable, or constant, in the ambit of the Subfamily.

In the last part of the paper the author analizes some characters of the two species, taking into consideration data regarding other species of the same and other subfamilies. Particularly he points out the behaviours which may reasonably regarded as primitive ones, i.e., which may attributed to the ancestral larva! form, from which the present larva! forms of the subf. Hydroporinae rise, or may attributed to a some more primitive larva! form, from which the subff. Hydroporinae, Laccophilinae and Colymbetinae rise together.

The author bases the discussion on the more commonly accepted phylogenetic theory on the origin of the subfamilies of the Dytiscidae (GUIGNOT, 1931-33, page 889). In the opinion of the author, the data exposed in the present paper support that theory.

Viene fatta la morfologia comparata dei tre stadi !arvali di due specie della subf. Hydroporinae, molto distanti fra loro dal punto di vista della Sistematica immaginale e molto diverse per quanto concerne le caratteri- stiche più appariscenti della loro morfologia !arvale. Si è ritenuto di potere, con tale scelta, individuare più agevolmente i caratteri che tendono ad un compor- tamento variabile e quelli che tendono ad una staticità di comportamento nel- l'ambito della Sottofamiglia. Sulla scorta dei dati cosl ottenuti, e tenendo presenti anche dati ricavati dalla bibliografia, vengono avanzate ipotesi sul significato filogenetico del comportamento di alcuni caratteri nelle subfi. Hydroporinae, Laccophilinae e Colymbetinae.

ON THE IDENTITY OF THE GENUS LECANOPSIS TARGIONI TOZZETTI

description: ON THE IDENTITY OF THE GENUS LECANOPSIS TARGIONI TOZZETTI

The genus Lecanopsis Targioni Tozzetti was generally accepted by coccidologists until 1994. In that year, on the basis that the exact facies of the genus was not known and that there was no type material, it was proposed that all the species previously included in Lecanopsis be transferred to the genus Paralecanopsis (synonymised with Lecanopsis in 1980) and that only the type species, L. rhyzophila Targioni Tozzetti, be retained in Lecanopsis, thus allowing a proper diagnosis of this group. In order to clarify the identity of the genus Lecanopsis, we have carefully checked the original descriptions of the genus and of its type species by Targioni Tozzetti and by Signoret. This work has highlighted some small mistakes in the translation of the original description from Italian or Latin to French and also some omissions, and these could have led to the conclusion that the real facies of this genus was not known and that the type species, L. rhyzophila, could not be congeneric with the other species currently included in Lecanopsis. However, some original drawings of Lecanopsis by Targioni Tozzetti, which he sent to Signoret in 1872, have been discovered in the Museum Nationale d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris. On the basis of this new information, and with the support of the authoritative opinion of two members of the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature, we consider that (i) the genus Lecanopsis is a valid genus and propose (ii) that the species of Lecanopsis recently transferred to the genus Paralecanopsis Bodenheimer be re-assigned to the genus Lecanopsis Targioni Tozzetti.

description: THE ASTEROLECANIIDAE (HOMOPTERA: COCCOIDEA) OF SOUTH AFRICA

The 16 species of Asterolecaniidae known from South Africa can be tentatively placed in six genera based on the characters of the adult female. Some species do not fit into these genera as presently defined, requiring a redefinition of some genera or the creation of new ones. However, it appears that the characters on which the genera of the Asterolecaniidae are presently based are too few in number and unreliable, making a detailed study of other characters of the female and eight other stages necessary for a better understanding of the relationships within this family.

description: ARE COCHINEAL INSECTS ERIOCOCCIDS?

Scale insects of the genus Dactylopius Costa, which all feed on cacti, are commonly called cochineal insects. Currently there are nine described species placed in their own family, the Dactylopiidae, based on a few unique morphological features. Here we review available biological, morphological and karyotype information on Dactylopius and report on cladistic analyses of morphological data (from first-instar nymphs plus adult females, and adult males separately) and molecular data (from the nuclear gene 18S rDNA and the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase II) from Dactylopius and its potential relatives. We suggest that Dactylopius belongs with the eriococcids and we discuss the nomenclatural implications of this placement.

El cocoliche nació como una variedad lingüística híbrida en Buenos Aires, producto de la interacción entre el italiano y el castellano en el contexto de la inmigración masiva. Este fenómeno lingüístico, surgido de manera espontánea, refleja los procesos de construcción de identidad que experimentaron los inmigrantes italianos. Los testimonios orales recopilados en la década de 1970 (que son base de este estudio) revelan la complejidad y riqueza del cocoliche y constituyen una ventana única a la experiencia de estos migrantes
title: The development of intonation and dialogue processes in Brazilian Portuguese : A study of two children.
Creators: name: Gebara, Ester M. S.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1984

description: The study focuses on the development and characteristics of intonational systems from the proto-language through to the one- word stage and up to the production of the first multi-word utterances. It also deals with the relationships holding between the development of intonation and adult-child linguistic interaction. Data from two Brazilian children, one boy (from age 1;0 to 2;0) and one girl (from age 1;2 to 1;8) were recorded in audio- and video-tape sessions, mostly in natural settings, where the children were interacting with their mothers and other persons in the family circle: a trained interviewer frequently being present. A description of the development of the intonational systems is given through the examination of the contexts of use of the tones which the subjects produce in situations of dialogue with their senior interlocutors. In addition to pitch-range and pitch-direction, other prosodic features are taken into account, where relevant>namely loudness and rhythm. Some instrumental evidence is given as support for the analysis provided. The characteristics of the first multi-word utterances are studied, such as prosodic strategies for the production of longer utterances and the emergence of cohesive intonation across successive utterances (the first 'paratones'). Finally an account is provided of the importance of intonation in expounding role- and turn-taking subsumed in this work in terms of the dialogue processes of specularity, complementarity and reversal. Intonation, together with other prosodic features, is found to have a gestaltic character and to be one of the richest resources for the processing, building-up and construction of the linguistic system by the child. Its emergence is assumed to be closely linked with interaction formats between the child and his/her senior interlocutors.

description: WHY THE TAXON HOMOPTERA DOES NOT EXIST

Many researchers still use the name Homoptera for the higher taxon of any member of the Sternorrhyncha (Aleyrodoidea, Aphidoidea, Coccoidea and Psylloidea) or Auchenorrhyncha (Cercopoidea, Cicadoidea, Cicadelloidea and Fulgoroidea), or to refer collectively to the Sternorrhyncha plus Auchenorrhyncha. Recent work based on morphological and molecular studies provide phylogenetic evidence that the Homoptera is paraphyletic and therefore its use should be abandoned.

description: MORPHOLOGICAL VARIATION IN ADULT FEMALE COCCUS HESPERIDUM L. (HEMIPTERA: COCCOIDEA: COCCIDAE) IN POLAND

This paper compares the variation of ten morphological characters of adult female C. hesperidum L. collected off (i) five different host plants and (ii) the stems, petioles and both leaf surfaces of Citrus, all from glasshouses in Poland. Four measured and six meristic characters were selected for biometric study. The mean and range of each of these characters varied between host plant species and with their position on Citrus. The main characters which varied between host species were the size and shape of the dorsal setae and the distribution and frequency of dorsal and ventral tubular ducts. Specimens off different parts of Citrus varied mainly in the frequency of the dorsal tubular ducts and the spiracular disc-pores. Pocket-like sclerotisations were noted for the first time in C. hesperidum; when present, they were in the stigmatic areas, close to a dorsal tubercle.

An evaluation of the haemocytes in the cochineal scale, Dactylopius confusus (Cockerell), was completed and compared with those found in the mealybugs Phenacoccus gossypii Townsend & Cockerell and Pseudococcus longispinus (Targioni Tozzetti) to assess the potential sites of the dye pigment source. Four basic cell types were found in the two pseudococcids and five in the cochineal scale. The cell types common to all species included: prohaemocytes, oenocytoids, typical granulocytes and plasmatocytes. In addition, a modified granulocyte (poly-glyco-based granulocyte) was found to be specific to the cochineal scale and this produced rough endoplasmic reticulum derived granules that may be the source for the synthesis of carminic acid.

title: British Mandarins and Chinese reformers: Political, economic, and social change at Weihaiwei, 1898-1938.
Creators: name: Atwell, Pamela
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1983

description: This thesis is a study of local administration in the former British leased territory of Weihaiwei in the northeastern Chinese province of Shantung from 1898 to 1938. The first seven chapters deal mainly with the years 1898 to 1930 during which time Weihaiwei was administered first, briefly, by British military officials and then, beginning in 1902, by Colonial Office staff. One of the central themes in these chapters is the fact that those who served in the highest administrative positions at Weihaiwei consistently chose, wherever possible, to maintain traditional Chinese governmental institutions, even to the point of modeling their own behavior on that of local district magistrates. Considerable attention is given to the important role of village headmen in managing local affairs and their relationship with British officials. In spite of a conservative administrative approach, foreign occupation of this nearly three hundred square mile area of rural China for thirty-two years naturally brought with it a good deal of economic, social, and political change. The thesis attempts to analyze how these changes took place as well as the impact of major events occurring elsewhere. A point emphasized throughout is that while Weihaiwei was administered by Britain during these years, its inhabitants remained Chinese citizens, continued to view themselves as such, and were by no means unaffected by events outside the territorial borders. The final two chapters of the thesis deal with the period beginning with Weihaiwei's retrocession to China in October I930 and ending in March 1938 when the area was occupied by Japan. A comparison is made between the administrative methods of the Western-trained, reform-minded representatives of the Nanking regime and their British predecessors. Although some welcome progress was made at this time, notably in the field of education, there were also numerous complaints that government was "interfering" too much in the daily lives of villagers as it superimposed a large and complicated bureaucratic structure on top of traditional institutions. Thus, it is concluded, that in their haste to "modernize" rural China, Kuomintang officials often ignored the most viable and useful aspects of their nation's governmental heritage and in the process lost the confidence of local people.
title: Industrial location and regional policy in South India.
Creators: name: Mackie, James W.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1982

description: Since 1971 the Government of India has had a policy of encouraging the dispersal of industry to designated rural backward areas. The thesis attempts a critical assessment of this industrial location policy. It questions the extent to which the industrial dispersal that has occurred during the 1970s is simply a result of the policy or whether it was primarily prompted by other factors such as the interests of Indian industrial capital. The thesis starts with a review of industrial location theory and policy, from which it concludes that industrial dispersal and the developmental impact of industrial growth poles can usefully be analysed in terms of modes of production theory. It is argued that one of the most important features of such industrial growth poles in a Third World context, is that they represent the organised penetration of the capitalist mode of production into areas which previously are in general characterised by pre-capitalist modes. The next two chapters of the thesis examine the genesis of Indian industrial location policy and the evolving relationship between the Indian state and industrial capital. They conclude that while in the past the Indian state has imposed restrictions on industrial capital, these have become less stringent since the raid 1960s. It is argued that the industrial dispersal policy with its package of financial incentives for industrialists is itself part of a new, much broader development planning ethos. An ethos which replaces the old emphasis on state led development with the view that development will result from the efforts of private enterprise helped by the state. The third section, again comprising two chapters, takes the analysis down to the level of an individual State: Tamil Nadu. The distribution and development of industry in the State is discussed and the efforts of the State Industrial Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu in implementing the dispersal policy is analysed. This is followed through into the final section where the behaviour of firms locating in the two Tamil Nadu growth poles of Ranipet and Hosur is examined on the basis of material from a questionnaire survey. The types of firms involved are described and the managers' reasons for choosing the sites are analysed. The survey results demonstrate the validity of the initial hypothesis, to the extent that a certain specific section of the survey firms chose their new dispersed locations for reasons other than government policy. In addition it is suggested that the incoming firms will have both a disruptive and developmental impact on the local economy of the Ranipet and Hosur areas. While their advent will be of benefit to some it will have a particularly harsh negative effect on the lives of the many local inhabitants with no access to the jobs and incomes generated by the new industry. These points are drawn together and summarised in the concluding chapter.

As the reforms of 'Abbais I (1587-1629) had a profound effect on the structure and organization of the Safawid state, the accession of 'Abbas I forms a convenient point at which to terminate this thesis, which therefore relates in the main to the reigns of Isma'il I (1501/2-1524) and Tahmasp I (1524-76). An attempt has been made to show how the fundamental dichotomy between Turk and Persian, the lack of any precise definition of the functions of the chief dignitaries, and the absence of any clear differentiation between the classes, affected the development of the Safawid state during this period. It should be noted that this thesis deals only with the most important offices of state, and does not purport to be in any way a complete description of the early Safawid administrative system. An attempt has also been made to determine the factors which enabled the Safawids to impose Shi'ism as the orthodox religion of the Safawid state. In writing the historical background to this thesis, I have endeavoured, on the one hand, to give the shortest account of events consonant with a proper understanding of the period, and, on the other hand, to give a rather fuller picture of events in Khurasan, 'Iraq-i 'Ajam and Fars, during the hundred years between the death of Timur and the accession of Isma'il, than is to be found elsewhere.

description: The Polyhedral Index Partition (PIP) framework introduces an innovative approach to calculating integer partitions by leveraging the mathematical structures of Pascal's Triangle, specifically through the concepts of Pascal's Dimensions and Pascal's Laterals. This paper explores the foundational principles underpinning PIP, elucidates the theoretical connections to combinatorial mathematics, and presents an efficient algorithm capable of handling large-scale partition computations. By integrating binomial coefficients and recursive methodologies, PIP offers significant performance improvements over traditional partition enumeration methods.Try out in Google Colab

title: Burma's relations with her eastern neighbours in the Konbaung period, 1752-1819.
Creators: name: Kyaw Thet, Maung
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1950

description: The thesis is an attempt to portray Burma's foreign relations through Burmese eyes. The Burmese of the period regarded the glory of Buddhism as the dominant motive in both public and private life. The king was regarded as essential to this aim, and as by virtue of the general acceptance of the idea of successive reincarnations, the king could be regarded the most worthy contemporary Buddhist he was thereby fully invested with autocratic powers. A tradition of great empire, which, however mistaken, found great favour in the general Burmese mentality, made it necessary for the Konboung dynasty to embark on endless wars of aggrandisement, and this is mainly responsible for the nature of the relations Burma had with Siam and Laossin this period. It was partly because of the Burmese attempt at the imposition of control over the Northern Lao states that caused the Chinese invasion. The Siamese at the opening of our period lacked effective leadership, and the cumbersome and unsatisfactory nature of her administration, prevented the quick concentration of her forces of resistance, and the Burmese were successful in the early stages. China had old traditions of overlordship but the enforcement of recognition varied and was seldom as effective as in the far more accessible are of Tonquin. The Burmese were a proud race and their kings would always attempt to beat off Chinese pretentions. They had always tried to, but sometimes unsuccessfully. The Chinese invasions diverted Burmese strength from Siam, and Siam under pressure of the threat of renewed aggression reorganised and revived, and from that time held its own with Burma. Soon the West came on the scene and relations between these countries became incidents in more significant pattern of European expansion in the Far East.

description: We construct neural networks that work for any Lie group and maintain gauge covariance, enabling smooth, invertible gauge field transformations. We implement these transformations for 4D SU(3) lattice gauge fields and explore their use in HMC. We focus on developing loss functions and optimizing the transformations. We show the effects on HMC's molecular dynamics and discuss the scalability of the approach.

title: Mediaeval illustrated manuscripts of Eastern India and Nepal.
Creators: name: Mookerjee, Monotosh
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London

description: Indian art has been studied by different scholars from different points of view. In this thesis, for the first time, a systematic study of the Illustrated Manuscripts of Eastern India and Nepal has been attempted. Certain scholars have previously described a few manuscripts, mainly from the point of view of their iconographic interest. The Manuscripts which are here treated of have received either very scant notice, or no notice at all. Three manuscripts are described for the first time. The thesis has been divided into two parts :- Part I consists mainly of an introductory discussion with special reference to the distribution, nature and purpose of the manuscripts. In the First Part, also, an attempt has been made to discuss the artistic quality, the technology and other aspects of the paintings themselves. It appears that these miniature book illustrations derive their traditions from earlier mural paintings. Part II: Of the many manuscripts, mentioned in the Catalogue, which forms a major part of Part II of the thesis, six dated manuscripts have been selected for special study. Taken together they range from the end of the tenth to the first quarter of the twelfth century A,D., i.e. a little over a century and a quarter. One of the manuscripts discussed here, has been found to be the earliest known Indian paper manuscript. (ASutosh Museum Manuscript of Astasahasrika Prajnaparamita). An attempt has been made to give a complete catalogue of the Illustrated Manuscripts of Eastern India and Nepal, including those in private collections. One map showing the geographical position of the area has been supplied. A number of plates are, also, attached in order to illustrate the quality and details of the paintings.
title: The style of Murasaki Shikibu, with particular reference to literary influences.
Creators: name: Morris, Ivan I.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1951

description: The purpose of this study is to provide an analysis of Genji Monogatari based on certain principles outlined in Chapter 1. I have focussed my attention as much as possible on the style of Murasaki's novel, as opposed to its content, "message", or sociological significance. The style of a work cannot be thoroughly examined without reference both to the circumstances in which it was written and to the subject-matter. Parts of this study are accordingly concerned with such topics as Murasaki's life, the development of fiction in Japan prior to her time, and the historical and literary sources of her material. But it is in the presentation of material that Murasaki's originality and greatness manifest themselves, and in the subsequent chapters I stress what seem to be the outstanding qualities of her style: the use of psychological detail, the technique of construction, the use of imagery, and the handling of a central theme. As far as possible, I compare her writing on each point with that of predecessors in order to determine what is traditional and what original. I believe that I have identified certain significant and original elements of Murasaki's style, such as her use of anticipation and of sustained symbolic imagery, which appear to have been overlooked elsewhere. I have also made what I think is an original approach to certain subjects, such as the development of language within Genji, Murasaki's humorous style, her treatment of neurotic characters, and the connexion between her sustained imagery and principal theme. Parts of this study, such as those on Murasaki's literary and religious knowledge and on accidence in the language of Genji, may be of use to future students.

title: Dadestan i Denig. chapters 1-35 : Transcription, translation and commentary.
Creators: name: Jaafari-Dehaghi, Mahmoud
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1997

description: The Dadestan i Denig 'Religious Judgments' consists of ninety-one answers given by ManuScihr i Juwanjaman, the Zoroastrian high priest in the ninth century A.C., to the questions put to him by Mihr Xwarsed i Adurmahan and other members of his community. The first part of the text, which contains forty questions and answers, deals chiefly with the following matters: Why is the righteous man important and what is the purpose of the creation of the perfect man? Why do the good suffer more than the evil in this world? The sin of those who leave the Mazda-worshipping religion for the evil religion; meritorious deeds; the vision of Ohrmazd and Ahreman by the departed soul. How does the soul depart from the body and where do the righteous and wicked souls go? Ceremonies in honour of Sros to be performed during the SedoS (i.e. three days after death). The nature of heaven and hell; individual eschatology; the renovation of the universe; the sacred cord and the sacred shirt. The text is one of the most important surviving books of the ninth century and as a whole is a valuable source for the history of the Zoroastrian community under Islamic influence. Because the subjects discussed in the text cover a wide range of Zoroastrian religious doctrine, mythology and traditions, it shows the extensive knowledge of its author in different areas of study. A characteristic feature of this text is the difficult style of writing. Manuscihr's style is sophisticated but sometimes ambiguous and obscure, so his writing demands to be read carefully. My edition of the first part of the book (chapters 1-35) is based on the text edited by the late B.T. Anklesaria in which all the surviving manuscripts have been carefully examined. I have given a transcription of the text with critical apparatus, following the method of transcription proposed by Prof. D.N. MacKenzie. I have also provided a translation and a very brief commentary.

title: Life and works of Ratan Nath Sarshar.
Creators: name: Husain, Firoz
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1964

description: The introduction sets out the importance of a full-length study of Sarshar's work for an understanding of the history of Urdu prose narrative. Such information as is available about his life is given in Chapter I, together with a "brief account of his works related to the various periods of his life in which they were written. The historical setting of his life and work is then considered, with particular reference to Lucknow, the city where he spent most of his life and to which his works are intimately related (Chapter II). Chapter III examines his early work (pre-1879) showing how his main ideas were formed "before he attempted the task of presenting them through the medium of fictional narrative. The existing tradition of prose narrative fiction is then discussed (Chapter IV), since Sarshar's first and greatest work is closely linked with this tradition. Chapters V-IX examine his major works one "by one, showing the steady development of Sarshar's art towards the standards of the modern novel (Chapters V-VII), a later reversion to the older tradition (Chapter VIII), and a final period of very rapid decline (Chapter IX). The account of his major works is completed by a chapter on his translations (Chapter X), and finally a conclusion briefly sums up Sarshar's position in the history of Urdu prose fiction.
