A timely exploration of the allusive, sculptural fiber work of an
important contemporary South African artist The book presents an
early career survey of the work of Cape Town-based artist Igshaan
Adams (b. 1982), showcasing his multimedia practice since 2009. In
addition to exploring recurring motifs in his work-Arabic
calligraphy, the rose, the (self-)portrait, Sufi symbols, and
pathways literal and metaphorical-the publication highlights some
of Adams's material concerns, including his sculptural applications
of weaving, his embrace of recycled materials related to black
South African domesticity and interiority, and his use of the
gallery wall and floor in installations. Hendrik Folkerts surveys
the artist's recent work, addressing its engagement with presence,
absence, and the trace.. Adams himself offers a visual essay
enabling readers to see details they would be imperceptible in a
gallery setting. In shorter essays and poetic texts, the other
authors focus on the South African historical and political
context, specific artworks, and particular creative strategies,
materialities, and narratives. Distributed for the Art Institute of

Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History is one of the classics of early
Christianity and of equal stature with the works of Flavius
Josephus. Eusebius chronicles the events of the first three
centuries of the Christian church in such a way as to record a vast
number of vital facts about early Christianity that can be learned
from no other ancient source. When Eusebius wrote his
Ecclesiastical History, his vital concern was to record facts
before they disappeared, and before eye-witnesses were killed and
libraries were burned and destroyed in persecutions by Rome. He
faithfully transcribed the most important existing documents of his
day so that future generations would have a collection of factual
data to interpret. Thus Eusebius (c. A.D. 260-340) richly deserves
the title "father of Church history."
"More readable." This is the only full edition of "Eusebius'
Ecclesiastical History" that has been retypeset in modern,
easy-to-read type. Archaic words have been modernized and the
punctuation has been updated according to contemporary
standards.
"Easier to use." The Loeb numbering system (now the standard way
to cite "Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History)" has been added to make
it easier to locate passages referred to in other reference works.
Also, all citations and cross-references have been updated from
Roman numerals to the modern form of citation.
"More complete." The complete text of all ten books of Eusebius
is included. Also included is "Historical View of the Council of
Nicea" as well as translations of related documents.
The Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) devoted
its 1997-1998 program to Emerging Applications of Dynamical
Systems. Dynamical systems theory and related numerical algorithms
provide powerful tools for studying the solution behavior of
differential equations and mappings. In the past 25 years
computational methods have been developed for calculating fixed
points, limit cycles, and bifurcation points. A remaining challenge
is to develop robust methods for calculating more complicated
objects, such as higher- codimension bifurcations of fixed points,
periodic orbits, and connecting orbits, as well as the calcuation
of invariant manifolds. Another challenge is to extend the
applicability of algorithms to the very large systems that result
from discretizing partial differential equations. Even the
calculation of steady states and their linear stability can be
prohibitively expensive for large systems (e.g. 10_3- -10_6
equations) if attempted by simple direct methods. Several of the
papers in this volume treat computational methods for low and high
dimensional systems and, in some cases, their incorporation into
software packages.A few papers treat fundamental theoretical
problems, including smooth factorization of matrices, self
-organized criticality, and unfolding of singular heteroclinic
cycles. Other papers treat applications of dynamical systems
computations in various scientific fields, such as biology,
chemical engineering, fluid mechanics, and mechanical engineering.
Eusebius of Caesarea, ca. 260-340 CE, born in Palestine, was a
student of the presbyter Pamphilus whom he loyally supported during
Diocletian's persecution. He was himself imprisoned in Egypt, but
became Bishop of Caesarea about 314. At the Council of Nicaea in
325 he sat by the emperor, led a party of moderates, and made the
first draft of the famous creed.
Of Eusebius's many learned publications we have "Martyrs of
Palestine" and "Life of Constantine;" several apologetic and
polemic works; parts of his commentaries on the Psalms and Isaiah;
and the Chronographia, known chiefly in Armenian and Syriac
versions of the original Greek. But Eusebius's chief fame rests on
the "History of the Christian Church" in ten books published in
324-325, the most important ecclesiastical history of ancient
times, a great treasury of knowledge about the early Church.

This is the first English translation of the last two theological
works of Eusebius of Caesarea, Against Marcellus and On
Ecclesiastical Theology. The first text was composed after the
deposition of Marcellus of Ancyra in 336 to justify the action of
the council fathers in ordering the deposition on the grounds of
heresy, contending that Marcellus was "Sabellian" (or modalist) on
the Trinity and a follower of Paul of Samosata (hence adoptionist)
in Christology. Relying heavily upon extensive quotations from a
treatise Marcellus wrote against Asterius the Sophist, this text
provides important information about ecclesiastical politics in the
period before and just after the Council of Nicea, and endeavors to
demonstrate Marcellus's erroneous interpretation of several key
biblical passages that had been under discussion since before the
council. In doing so, Eusebius criticizes Marcellus's inadequate
account of the distinction between the persons of the Trinity,
eschatology, and the Church's teaching about the divine and human
identities of Christ. On Ecclesiastical Theology, composed circa
338/339 just before Eusebius's death, and perhaps in response to
the amnesty for deposed bishops enacted by Constantius after the
death of Constantine in 377 and the possibility of Marcellus's
return to his see, continues to lay out the criticisms initially
put forward in Against Marcellus, again utilizing quotations from
Marcellus's book against Asterius. However, we see in this text a
much more systematic explanation of Eusebius's objections to the
various elements of Marcellus's theology and what he sees as the
proper orthodox articulation of those elements. Long overlooked for
statements at odds with later orthodoxy, even written off as
heretical because allegedly "semi-Arian," recent scholarship has
demonstrated the tremendous influence these texts had on the Greek
theological tradition in the fourth century, especially on the
orthodox understanding of the Trinity. In addition to their
influence, they are some of the few complete texts that we have
from Greek theologians in the immediate period following the
Council of Nicea in 325, thus filling a gap in the materials
available for research and teaching in this critical phase of
theological development.

Of Eusebius's many learned publications we have "Martyrs of

the "History of the Christian Church" in ten books published in
324-325, the most important ecclesiastical history of ancient
times, a great treasury of knowledge about the early Church.
All ten books of Eusebius' famous church history are presented here
complete in a superb and authoritative translation. Eusebius'
Ecclesiastical History is one of the first comprehensive,
chronologically arranged histories ever written about the Christian
church, and it is consulted by scholars and historians to this day.
Eusebius authored his history as the Roman Empire's influence upon
the European continent waned amid insurgencies and surrender of
Roman lands to other peoples. This also a time in which
Christianity's influence upon Europe's peoples burgeoned and grew.
As one of a very few learned and scholarly Christians of his era
Eusebius enjoyed a rare privilege: access to the document archives
of the early Christian church. Much of these archives have since
been lost; Eusebius' use of these long lost texts is the only
window which readers of today have to such records. Thus, a sense
of mystery is present as events for which scant evidence still
exists are told.
A clear, readable translation of the ten books of Bishop Eusebius’s Ecclesiastical History—the only surviving record of the Church during its crucial first three hundred years—this edition recounts the martyrdoms, heresies, schisms, and proceedings that led to Nicaea and other great church councils.
