The Internet Ancient History Sourcebook has expanded greatly since its creation, and now contains hundred of local files as well as links to source texts throughout the net. See Introduction for an explanation of the Sourcebook's goals. See the Help! page for all the help on research I can offer. Although I am more than happy to receive notes if you have comments on this web site, I cannot answer specific research enquiries [and - for students - I cannot, or rather will not, do your homework.] The Ancient History Sourcebook works as follows: This Main Index page [this page] shows all sections and sub sections. To access the sub-section pages , simply browse the sections below and select the highlighted (white text with blue background) section title on the left. In addition there are two navigation bars on the left of each page for every sub-section For materials added since July 1998 see the New Additions page.

Introduction Update Information 2006: In 2006 the Internet Medieval Sourcebooks and associated sourcebooks are undergoing a major overhaul to remove bad links and add more documents. 2. This project is both very large and fairly old in Internet terms. At the time it was instigated (1996), it was not clear that web sites [and the documents made available there] would often turn out to be transient. As a result there is a process called "link rot" - which means that a "broken link" is a result of someone having taken down a web page. 2. 3. Note: This site aims to present medieval sources. Sourcebook Contents The Internet Medieval Sourcebook is organized as three main index pages, with a number of supplementary documents. Selected Sources This is the main entry to the resources here. Full Text Sources Full texts of medieval sources arranged according to type. Saints' Lives Devoted to Ancient, Medieval and Byzantine hagiographical sources. Supplementary Documents Help!

Zoroastrianism Iranian religion founded by Zoroaster With possible roots dating back to the 2nd millennium BCE, Zoroastrianism enters recorded history around the middle of the 6th century BCE.[10] It served as the state religion of the ancient Iranian empires for more than a millennium (approximately from 600 BCE to 650 CE), but declined from the 7th century CE onwards as a direct result of the Arab-Muslim conquest of Persia (633–654 CE), which led to the large-scale persecution of the Zoroastrian people. Recent estimates place the current number of Zoroastrians in the world at around 110,000–120,000[12] at most, with the majority of this figure living in India, Iran, and North America; their number has been thought to be declining.[13][14] Terminology The name Zoroaster (Ζωροάστηρ) is a Greek rendering of the Avestan name Zarathustra. Overview Theology Practices Ossuary with reliefs of Zoroastrian priests attending a fire, Mullakurgan (near Samarkand), Uzbekistan, 7-8th century CE.[52] History Conversion

The Vinaya [Buddhist Monastic Precepts] WEB Shri Krishna as Kali and Lalita [At Shivashakti] Although the sexual relationships of Indian gods often follow heterosexual expectations, the individual God/dess may change form and be incarnate as another. WEB Tantrik Links [At Shivashakti] Tantricism was the "short path" to Enlightenment in Hinduism and Buddhism. Muslim 2ND Richard Burton: Terminal Essay , from his edition of the Arabian Nights . Further Resources on Indian History As in a number of other historical areas, a real problem with much of the online material on South Asian history is that it is presented with manifest nationalist (or other ideological bias). © This text is copyright.

Platónovo pojetí demokracie Platónovo pojetí demokracie představuje hodnocení a zejména kritiku athénské formy demokratického zřízení. Řecká forma demokracie[editovat | editovat zdroj] V řeckých obcích dosáhla demokracie svého největšího rozkvětu v 5. a 4. stol. př. n. l. Vláda lidu byla realizována skrze dvě instituce: lidový sněm (ekklesia)lidový soud (heliaia) Lidový sněm[editovat | editovat zdroj] Schůze lidového sněmu se konaly nejméně čtyřicetkrát do roka. Sněm disponoval nejen zákonodárnými, ale také výkonnými a soudními pravomocemi. Lidový soud[editovat | editovat zdroj] Lidový soud byl tvořen 6 000 volenými občany starších 30 let. Rada pěti set[editovat | editovat zdroj] Absence dělby moci v této demokracii významně posilovala sílu lidu. Důležitým faktorem pro fungování demokracie v Athénách byl fakt, že se všichni občané mohli osobně znát a shromažďovat se na sněmech. Platónova kritika[editovat | editovat zdroj] Největší slabinou demokracie je to, že hlavní slovo a moc získává skupina demagogů - trubců [2] .

Internet East Asian History Sourcebook There is no way of avoiding the fact that China is the central culture of Eastern Asia. Massively larger than any of her neighbors, China may have developed its cultural forms in relative isolation, but since the advent of Buddhism has both absorbed outside influences and disseminated its own culture. Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese cultures are not comprehensible without taking into account power of Chinese culture in art, literature and religion. Chinese culture itself is highly complex, and the other East Asian cultures also reflect local circumstances and traditions. See my Brooklyn College: Chinese Cultural Studies class page.

"I wish I were too. I read it a little as a duty, but it tells me nothing that does not either vex or weary me. How are historians to remedy the silence about women in many traditional accounts of history? The first solution was to locate the great women of the past, following the lead of much popular historiography that focuses on "great men". The next solution was to examine and expose the history of oppression of women. In recent years, while not denying the history of oppression, historians have begun to focus on the agency of women . These various approaches to the history of women are not exclusive. This page is a subset of texts derived from the three major online Sourcebooks listed below.
