Kreuzzug nach Nikopolis
BearbeitenAlte Version (abgerufen am 10. Novenber 2009) von Aziz Atiya Zitat: »Im Jahre 1938 publizierte er sein Werk über die Kreuzfahrereroberung von Nikopolis.« Es gibt eine Schlacht von Nikopolis und ein Emmaus Nikopolis. Worüber hat Atiya jetzt geschrieben? Es war die Schlacht von Nikopolis. s. Original und Reprint.
Joseph Smith Papyri
BearbeitenJoseph Smith hat das Buch Abraham in seiner Schrift Köstliche Perle veröffentlicht. Es ist neben dem Buch Mormon ein Standardwerk im Schriftenkanon der Mormonen (im wesentlichen die Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen der Letzten Tage und die Gemeinschaft Christi, s. auch Portal:Mormonentum).
In dem Summary zu den Aziz Suryal Atiyah Papers steht:
„While searching for Coptic and Arabic papyri in the Metropolitan Museum of Art storeroom in New York City, Atiya discovered the Joseph Smith Egyptian papyri, which is significant because they are the original documents used for research to write Facsimile No. 1 of the Book of Abraham, a scripture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Since the Egyptian language could not be read in the 1830s and 1840s when the papyri were supposedly translated, this discovery provided the first chance to check Joseph Smith's ability to translate the Egyptian papyri. Atiya functioned as the mediator between the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the First Presidency of the LDS Church.“
Verwirrung in w:en:Joseph Smith Papyri
Die Aussage „1947 erstand die Met sie von Alices Witwer“ ist jetzt nicht mehr zu verstehen.
In der momentanen Fassung enthält der Artikel den Text:
„After Joseph Smith's death, the mummies and papyri were in the possession of Smith's mother, Lucy Mack Smith and after her death on May 14, 1856, Smith's widow, Emma Hale Smith. On May 25, 1856, Emma sold "four Egyptian mummies with the records with them" to Mr. Abel Combs.[6] In 1947 the Met acquired them from Alice's widower. Aziz S. Atiya of the University of Utah found ten fragments of the remaining papyri in May 1966,[7] after he recognized the vignette was similar to Facsmile 1 in the Pearl of Great Price. Henry G. Fischer, curator of the Egyptian Collection at the Met, stated that an anonymous donation to the Met made it possible for the LDS Church to acquire the papyri.[8] The LDS Church published sepia tone photographs of the papyri in the February 1968 issue of The Improvement Era.“

On May 25, 1856, Emma sold "four Egyptian mummies with the records with them" to Mr. Abel Combs.[7] Combs then sold two mummies with some papyri, which were sent to the St. Louis Museum.[citation needed] In 1863 they went to the Chicago Museum, where they probably burned in the Great Chicago Fire.[citation needed] The fate of Combs's two other mummies is unknown, but some papyri survived. In 1918, Mrs. Alice Heusser, daughter of Combs's housekeeper, approached the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art (MMA) about some papyri in her possession.[citation needed] In 1947 the MMA acquired them from Alice's widower.

Auf den Seiten der Brigham Young University von der Atiya einen »At the same time [1967], Brigham Young University made him an honorary Doctor of Laws (LL.D.), in recognition of some of his discoveries in the world of papyri.« (Medieval and Middle Eastern Studies, S. 7) hat, steht zu lesen:
„In 1967 eleven fragments of the Egyptian papyri once owned by Joseph Smith were rediscovered by Aziz S. Atiya and were then presented to the Church by the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. Several pieces were determined to be from an Egyptian religious text known as the Book of Breathings. Three noted Egyptologists soon made translations of and commentaries on the fragments, ...“

„Although the papyrus rolls had been shortened, a visitor in February 1843 saw "a long roll of manuscript, [being told] it was the "writing of Abraham"' and was shown "another roll" (Todd, p. 245). After Joseph Smith's death, the Egyptian artifacts were held principally by his mother, and then by Emma Smith after Lucy's death on May 14, 1856. On May 25, 1856, Emma sold "four Egyptian mummies with the records with them" to Mr. Abel Combs (IE, Jan. 1968, pp. 12-16). (Pioneers brought one fragment west.) Combs then sold two mummies with some papyri, which were sent to the St. Louis Museum (1856); they ended up in the Chicago Museum (1863), where they apparently burned in 1871. The fate of Combs's two other mummies and papyri is unknown, but some papyri remained, for in 1918 Mrs. Alice Heusser of Brooklyn, a daughter of Combs's housekeeper, approached the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art (MMA) with papyri once owned by Joseph Smith. In 1947 MMA acquired papyri from her widower. In May 1966 Aziz S. Atiya of the University of Utah saw eleven Heusser fragments at MMA. He informed Church leaders, and on November 27, 1967, the Church acquired the fragments; one of them is Facsimile No. 1.“

„Egyptologists who have studied the fragments in recent years generally identify them as religious texts, some from the Book of the Dead dating from 500-300 B.C., and some from the Book of Breathings dating from about A.D. 100. Since the rediscovery of the fragments, researchers have sought to learn if any of them, other than Facsimile No. 1, is related to the Book of Abraham.“
Fazit: Im Mai 1966 entdeckte Atiya elf Papyrusfragmente im Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, das sie 1947 käuflich erworben hatte. Am 27. November 1967 wurden diese dann an die Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen der Letzten Tage übergeben. Die Fragmente enthalten Texte aus dem Buch der Toten und aus dem w:en:Book of Breathings (vgl Erik Hornung: Altägyptische Jenseitsbücher : ein einführender Überblick. Primus-Verlag, Darmstadt 1997, ISBN 3-89678-043-3).
