The Legends of Genesis is the English translation of the introduction to Gunkel’s massive commentary, Genesis. Gunkel uses form critical analysis on the text of Genesis to determine the various genres of the biblical legends and their significance to the authors. Gunkel also uses form criticism to uncover buried clues as to the constituent sources of the text. Gunkel offers his hypothesis to explain how the various sources came to be combined and redacted, and how the text later came to be attributed to Moses.

A charming fairytale -- with realistic touches -- from the mid-19th Century.

In this book, Father Jean Guibert of the Society of St. Sulpice shows how piety permeates the spiritual life in mental and vocal prayer, in the sacraments, in various devotions, in spiritual reading, in the examination of one's conscience, and in spiritual retreats. This book is the sequel to Father Guibert's On Piety, wherein he explains the nature of piety and its effects. Both books bear an imprimatur.

Father Jean Guibert of the Society of St. Sulpice served as superior of the Catholic Institute of Paris.

In Part I (Chapters 1-11), Father Guibert discusses the nature of piety, and in Part II (Chapters 12-18), he enumerates its fruits. The sequel to On Piety is Guibert's On the Exercises of Piety, which i...

Anlässlich des 200. Jubiläums der Kinder und Hausmärchen von 1812/15.
Die erste Auflage der berühmten Märchensammlung unterscheidet sich in einigen Punkten von den bekannteren späteren Auflagen. Sie enthält Geschichten, die in den späteren Auflagen entschärft und verniedlicht wurden, um dem Geschmack des vorwiegend bürgerlichen Publikums entgegenzukommen. So wird Rapunzel hier noch schwanger und Hänsel und Gretel werden von ihrer Mutter im Wald verlassen, nicht von der Stiefmutter. Auch sind viele Märchen mit hugenottischem Hintergrund enthalten, z.B. Der gestiefelte Kater, der auf Charles Perrault zurückgeht und in späteren Auflagen nicht mehr enthalten ist.
Die durch die Brüder Gr...
