Gina Gertrud Smith is an associate researcher at the at Centre of
African Studies and the Centre of European Islamic Thinking,
University of Copenhagen. In this book she presents a Toucouleur
and Peul (Fulani) society in Casamance, part of the Sufi
brotherhood Tijaniyya. She describes the foundations of the society
in the special charisma or baraka of the shaykh, his Islamic
knowledge, and the Islamic educational system. She also debates how
the system is being challenged by the secular Senegalese state and
Islamism.
This collection of essays was presented to Professor Soren Giversen
on his 65th birthday, 9 January 1993. Their common theme is ancient
Gnosticism and its importance to the social, cultural and religious
development of the Mediterranean world from Hellenistic to Roman
times. Our knowledge of Gnosticism has recently been enriched by
the discovery of previously unknown Gnostic texts preserved in
Coptic manuscripts and published by Soren Giversen and others.
These texts form the point of departure for several of the essays;
others deal with Marcion, early Christianity and Judaism and their
attitude to crucial Gnostic issues.

g r bogen nyttig ogs for museumsg sten og turisten i gypten.
