Enciclopedia Akal de Emblemas Españoles Ilustrados


Book Description

La obra contiene, extractados, todos los libros de emblemas que se publicaron en español durante los siglos XVI y XVII. Se trata de un material de difícil acceso que de este modo se pone a disposición del lector, ya sea investigador o mero aficionado a la riquísima cultura simbólica cifrada en el género de la literatura emblemática. El libro se presenta en primera instancia como índice alfabético de los motivos iconográficos principales presentes en cada emblema. Pero, además, se podrá acceder a los emblemas mediante búsquedas realizadas a partir de los índices complementarios: de autores, lemas, fuentes y claves temáticas, aparte de los motivos iconográficos secundarios. Completa el volumen un glosario terminológico y de personajes que ayuda a la comprensión de los significados. El desarrollo de los estudios de emblemática en el ámbito internacional (existe una extensa Society for Emblem Studies) ha hecho aconsejable introducir traducción al inglés de los campos de información más relevantes. Y las ventajas que proporcionan las nuevas tecnologías han sido aprovechadas con la incorporación de un CD-ROM (ejecutable por igual en los sistemas Macintosh y PC) que agiliza la combinación de búsquedas complejas. Tanto el CD-ROM como el libro reproducen los grabados de los 1.732 emblemas estudiados.







SUPREMACY SRI AKAL TAKHT SAHIB


Book Description

Sri Darbar Sahib, (Golden Temple) is a living institution of the non dual Sikh worldview of the interconnective and inseparable coexistence of Miri-Piri, Temporal and Spiritual. Sri Harmandir Sahib (Piri) and Sri Akal Takht Sahib (Miri) manifest this belief. Sri Akal Takht Sahib, the immortal throne, has been and continues to be the consensual and authoritative institution for the Sikh Qaum or Worldwide Sikh community. It has enjoyed de facto Supremacy respected by many Authorities. However as the Sikhs are now a global People, it is increasingly becoming necessary for Sri Akal Takht Sahib to gain de jure sovereignty. This will enable the Global Sikh community to develop consensus and function independent of any political or legal shadow through Sri Akal Takht Sahib under its temporal supremacy. The benefits for Sikhs, India, South Asia and to some extent the world are enormous for peace, for development and as a place for new ideas to tackle global issues facing humanity and the earth. This book looks at the history, the necessity, the possibilities of Sri Akal Takht Sahib supremacy and establishing de jure position in international relations.
