Artikel Jewish-Muslim Relations: Myth and Reality

Baca sebuah artikel "The Golden Age of Jewish-Muslim relations: Myth and Reality" oleh Mark R Cohen. Artikel tebal sebelas m/surat. Antara kandungannya:

Jewish-Muslim relations: The comparative perspective; The paradigm; The Muslim pragmatism; Judeo-Arabic culture.

Petikan paragraf akhir:

The Arabic language gave Jews entrance to the corridors of Muslim power and made possible the remarkable careers of such luminaries as Samuel ha-Nagid ibn Naghrela in the eleventh century, head of the Jewish community, poet, Talmudist, and vizier of Granada (the father of the Jewish vizier assassinated in 1066), as well as scores of other Jewish denizens of Islamic courts, many of whom occupy pages in Islamic chronicles. Other dignitaries, as well as merchants, less well known because they did not leave books behind, but whose quotidian lives are described in minute detail in the documents of the Cairo Geniza, are no less important as Jewish exemplars of the Jewish-Muslim coexistence that reigned for several centuries during the Islamic high Middle Ages. For such illustrious fi gures in the Jewish elite, those centuries were indeed a Golden Age.

HK Declared Monuments - The Bethanie

Kalau di negara kita sesuatu bangunan lama di gazet sebagai heritage building. Pengiktirafan yang diberi oleh kerajaan melalui pihak yang berwajib. Di HK keadaannya sama sesuatu bangunan lama akan diberi pengiktirafan sebagai Declared Monuments. Salah satu bangunan yang mendapat pengiktirafan tersebut adalah The Bethanie.

Located in Pokfulam, the Béthanie was built by the Paris Foreign Missions Society (Missions Etrangères de Paris) in 1875 as a sanatorium and is now a declared monument. Almost a century later, the heritage building was taken over by the Hong Kong Government and leased to the University of Hong Kong from 1978 to 1997. In March 2003, the Legislative Council approved capital works funds for The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts to restore the Béthanie and two neighbouring Dairy Farm cowsheds as its associated campus, housing training facilities for the School of Film and Television of the Academy. The restoration was completed in November 2006. The Béthanie was also awarded an Honourable Mention at the 2008 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Cultural Heritage Awards.
