A Study of Races in the Ancient near East
The Case of Muhammad
OF MUHAMMAD'S childhood and adolescence nothing is known that would in any way explain the peculiarities of behavior which developed when he was about forty years old. To be sure there are reports which have been taken to indicate epilepsy on two occasions in childhood; but these have been rejected by most competent recent scholarship.' At about twenty-four or twenty-five 2 Muhammad married Khadija, a woman fifteen years his senior. In spite of t…
A Study of Races in the near East
An Account of Schools for Living Oriental Languages Established in Europe
THE MATERIALS f or an account of schools of living Oriental languages in Europe are not abundant, and not easily disengaged from others relating to similar movements and undertakings, such as the pursuit of Orientalistic studies in the spirit of philology or exegesis, with emphasis upon the classical languages;2 or the rigidly classical preparation of men for the work of printing Oriental liturgies and carrying them to the East with missionary en…
The Demon of Noonday and Some Related Ideas
1. THE RAYS of the sun toward noonday, especially in midsummer, have been found to cause discomfort, dizziness, collapse and death. The disorder so caused is called sunstroke, Sonnenstich: the blow or stab given by the sun. In warm countries it is necessary to avoid this danger by remaining under shelter during the noon hours.1 The symptoms are most apparent in countries where men have not learned the causes of the evil as, e. g., in Abyssinia wh…
Ink, Oil and Mirror Gazing Ceremonies in Modern Egypt
The practice of gazing at smooth surfaces or into clear depths to produce visions is one of the most ancient and universal which folk-lore has brought to light. It appears to explain a great variety of practices, and to bring them from the cabinet of merely curious superstitions back to the more rational ground of demonstrable though little understood psychic phenomena. The sober monographs of Andrew Lang in the new Encyclopedia Britannica (vii, …
The Consonants Z and Z in Egyptian Colloquial Arabic
Willmore, The S2oken Arabic of Egypt (London, 2nd ed. 1905), throughout his grammar and explicitly on pp. xxvii and 19, recognizes the existence in modern Egyptian Arabic of the socalled emphatic consonant z. This is sometimes found to correspond to classical or 1 (without distinction); sometimes it arises out of classical z under the influence of other sounds associated with it in the same phonetic complex; see especially pp. 11 if. Willmore is …
A Coptic Ostracon
The language is Sahidic with certain northern tendencies, e. g.: BfNS for BNNF, ae8p for eATWp. The sixth letter of first line is plainly E but must have been intended for C. The eleventh and twelfth of second line though crowded are Mu. The fifteenth of second line may have been an i similar to A just preceding and to X of ib in last line. Yet space and visible remains suggest far more strongly oy. Either would be a possible reading. We have her…

Because of the importance of the language probIem in Missions to Moslems, we welcome this brief article on one of the most celebrated language-schools in Europe.-E~.]
