paragraph: Fazlallah Astarabadi

paragraph: Fażlu l-Lāh Astar-Ābādī (, 1339/40 in Astarābād – 1394 in Nakhchivan), also known as Fażlullāh Tabrīzī Astarābādī by a pseudonym al-Ḥurūfī and a pen name Nāimī, was an Iranian mystic who founded the Ḥurūfī movement. The basic belief of the Ḥurūfiyyah was that the God was incarnated in the body of Fażlullāh and that he would appear as Mahdī when the Last Day was near in order to save Muslims, Christians and Jews. His followers first came from the village of Toqchi near Isfahan and from there, the fame of his small community spread throughout Khorasan, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Shirvan. The center of Fażlullāh Nāimī's influence was Baku and most of his followers came from Shirvan. Among his followers was the famous Ḥurūfī poet Seyyed Imadaddin Nasimi, one of the greatest Turkic mystical poets of the late 14th and early 15th centuries.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Fażlullāh was born in Astarābād, Iran, circa 1339/1340, to a family of judges. According to the traditional Ḥurūfī biography, Fażlullāh Astarābādī was born in a household that traced its descent to the seventh Shī‘ah Imam, Musa al-Kazim. Fażlullāh's predecessor, in eighth or ninth generation, was Muhammad al-Yamanī, from the family which originated in Yemen, the center of heterodox Islam at the time. Fażlullāh's family was from the Shāfi‘ī school of Sunni Islam — however, this did not figure greatly in his religious development.

paragraph: When his father died when he was still a child, Fażlullāh inherited his position and appeared at the courthouse on horse back everyday, acting as a figurehead while his assistants carried out the work of the court. At the age of eighteen he had an extraordinary religious experience when a nomadic dervish recited a verse by Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi:

paragraph: Fażlullāh fell into a trance and when he inquired as to the verses meaning, his religious teacher told him that to understand it one would have to devote their life to religious pursuits and then one could experience the meaning rather than knowing it intellectually. After a year of trying to maintain his duties as a judge during the day while engaged in solitary prayer in a graveyard at night, he abandoned his family, possessions and security to become an itinerant religious seeker. As he left Astarābād, he exchanged his clothes for the felt clothing of a shepherd he met. From then on he always wore this shirt as a symbol of having abandoned worldly connections and comforts.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Fażlullāh composed his works in Standard Persian as well as the Persian dialect of Astarābād. His most significant work which establishes the foundation of Ḥurūfism is titled "Javidan-namah" "Eternal Book". Two recensions were made of the "Javidan-namah". The one which is designated as Kabīr "Great" is in the Astarābādī Persian dialect and the one that is entitled Ṣaghīr "Small" is in standard Persian. Another book in the Astarābādī Persian dialect is the "Nawm-namah", giving an account of the dreams of Fażlullāh at various times in his life. A prose work, entitled "Mahabbat-namah" in the Astarābād Persian dialect was imitated by Turkish Ḥurūfīs. He also composed a book of poetry in standard Persian and gave it the title "Arsh-namah". In addition to this book, he also composed another small collection of poetry in standard Persian using the pen name Nāimī. From his poetic works, it is evident that he knew Arabic, Persian and "his native language", the Gurgan dialect. He was well-versed in Persian literature, and that he was capable of composing poetry in the classical style.

paragraph: According to Encyclopedia of Islam, one of the key tenets of Ḥurūfism is that Allah reveals himself in the Word and that words ("ḥurūf") are composed of sounds that are associated with letters. The total number of letters (and their numerical value according to the abjad) is the total of all emanating and creating possibilities of God and is God himself made manifest.

paragraph: Section::::"Sahib-i ta'vil": the Master of Esoteric Interpretation.:Dreams of Fażlullāh.

paragraph: Fażlullāh made his way to Isfahan in central Iran. Unused to walking, he suffered a leg injury by the time he arrived. Here he found a variety of religious seekers many of whom shunned contacts with wider society and often flouted religious convention. However, Fażlullāh never joined any of these groups. He began to experience a series of dreams which he came to regard as prophetic. He then made Hajj to Mecca before moving to Kunya Urgench, the capital of Khwarazm. He decided to make another Hajj, but only got as far as Luristan when he had a dream in which a man told him to go to Mashhad. Concluding the man was ‘Alī ar-Riḍā (d. 818) — who is buried in Mashhad — he made a detour to ar-Riḍā's shrine before completing a second Hajj and returning to Urgench. Here he practiced sufi religious practices and continued to have a number of dreams. In one Jesus told him that four sufis — Ibrahim Bin Adham, Bayazid Bistami, Al-Tustari and Bahlul — were the most sincere religious seekers in the history of Islam. In another, Muhammad appeared to him explaining to an old man that dream interpretation was very hard as the surface identities of characters in dreams were stand-ins for others and that dreams involved far deeper meanings than their apparent concern. Then Prophet Muhammad turned to Fażlullāh and said that true dream interpretation was like a rare star that becomes visible every 30,000 years and encompasses seven thousand worlds. He told Fażlullāh that he could see it if he stood under an orange tree, This Fażlullāh did and saw seven stars one of which was bigger than the rest. And the luminous star emitted a ray of light which entered his right eye conveying a special intuitive knowledge to him. This felt like a pearly light which enabled him to understand the hadith. After this dream Fażlullāh claimed he could understand dreams and the language of birds. His followers called him "sahib-i ta'vil" — the master of esoteric interpretation following this. He rapidly attracted a crowd of people seeking explanations of dreams drawn from all walks of life. However, he preferred the company of religious aescetics and eventually decided to leave Urgench.

paragraph: Section::::Amongst the Sarbadars.

paragraph: Fażlullāh then moved to the region of Sabzavar in North east Iran, where a significant proportion of the local population were involved in apocalyptical religion. From 1136 to 1381 this region was under the rule of the Sarbadars, a diverse collection of noble families who did not follow a dynastic principle, with many people affiliated to a religious group known as the Shaykiyya. This sect advised its followers to prepare arms ready for a great cosmic war that would be followed by the appearance of the Mahdi. There is some evidence that he was here in 1360 and that he made the prediction that ‘Alī Mu'ayyad would expel the Shaykiyyah, but that the latter would return within a year. Fifteen years later darwīsh Ruknu d-Dīn was expelled, only to return in triumph within the year. There are a number of stories relating to Fazlallah in this region, but he was to leave in 1365 traveling first to Yazd and then to Isfahan.

paragraph: Section::::Sojourn in Isfahan.

paragraph: Fażlullāh made himself at home in a mosque in the suburb of Tuqchi where he attracted two kinds of visitors: firstly, religious seekers seeking a guide and secondly those who wanted him to interpret dreams for more worldly reasons. Fażlullāh would accept no money for his interpretations and led an ascetic life, going without sleep spending the night in prayer and weeping continually to control his carnal desires. The Sufi Mu'in al-Din Shahrastani visited him and asked him about his understanding of a true man of God. He replied quoting Junayd Baghdadi that it is someone who is silent on the outside so that his inner reality can speak through him. Shahrastani became one of his prominent followers alongside men like Nasrallah Nafaji whose "Khwab-namah" "Book of Dreams" became one of the main biographical sources about Fażlullāh's life. These followers formed a tight-knit community around him, sharing a hermit-like lifestyle and a deep brotherly love that led them to think of themselves as sharing the same soul. These sincere followers claimed the received "Karamat", spiritual gifts like special knowledge about sacred texts like the Bible and the Qur'an, an understanding of hidden matters and clear interpretations of the sayings and deeds of Muhammad and his immediate entourage. Meanwhile, a steady stream of the social elite, such as scholars, ministers, military and administrative officers as well as all kinds of wealthy people would ask his advice. Giving advice to such people as Mawlana Zayn ad-Dīn Rajayī and the Amir Farrukh Gunbadi, Fażlullāh's reputation spread throughout the provinces of Khurasan, Azerbaijan and Shirvan. Eventually he decided to move to Tabriz.

paragraph: Section::::Imprisonment and execution.

paragraph: For his spread of Hurūfism, circa 1394/1395, Fażlullāh Nā'imī was captured and imprisoned in Alinja, near Nakhchivan. He was subsequently sentenced for his heresies by the religious leaders and executed at the orders of Miran Shah, the son of Tamerlane.

paragraph: His shrine is at Alinja.

paragraph: Filaret Gumilevsky

paragraph: Archbishop Filaret (Филарет Гумилевский, born Dmitry Grigorievich Gumilevsky; 1805-1866) was the Russian Orthodox Bishop of Riga (1841-48), Archbishop of Kharkov (1848-59), and Archbishop of Chernigov (1859-66).

paragraph: The son of a priest from the Shatsk district, Filaret is best known as a theologian and church historian. At the precocious age of 30 he was appointed Dean of the Moscow Theological Academy based in the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra.

paragraph: During his tenure in Riga (1841-1848) the Governorate of Livonia saw a religious conversion movement, as a result of which more than one hundred thousand Estonian and Latvian peasants converted to Orthodoxy. He also established a school in Riga in February 1846, which grew four years later into a seminary (Latvian: "Rīgas Garīgais seminārs").

paragraph: His magnum opus is "The History of the Russian Church" (1847-48), the first complete and systematic outline of the evolution of the Russian Orthodox Church. It was seen as a clerical counterpart to Karamzin's great history of the Russian state and went through many reprints. This work was later revised and expanded by the likes of Macarius Bulgakov and Yevgeny Golubinsky.

paragraph: Filaret Gumilevsky was a very popular prelate. He is buried in the Trinity Cathedral, Chernihiv. In 2009, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) recognized him as a saint for local veneration.

paragraph: Mazie Follette was an American dancer, actress, vaudeville performer and Florodora girl. She also wrote poetry, and was a witness in the murder trial of Harry Kendall Thaw.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mazie Follette studied dance with Filiberto Marcheti.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Mazie Follette danced, acted and sang in soubrette roles. She left the company of Lulu Glaser in 1901, after she was accused of flirting with the audience. She was a "Florodora Girl", in the Florodora show at the Winter Garden in 1902. Broadway appearances by Follette included roles in "Fiddle-dee-dee" (1900-1901), "The Prima Donna" (1901), "The Strollers" (1901), "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" (1901-1902), "The Supper Club" (1901-1902), "Twirly Whirly" (1902), "The Wild Rose" (1902), "The Big Little Princess" (1903), "Winsome Winnie" (1903-1904), "Princess Beggar" (1906), and "From Across the Pond" (1907).

paragraph: Section::::The Thaw trial and afterwards.

paragraph: Follette was known for an extravagant social life; she once took a train from Chicago to New York with two young businessmen, to have a lobster dinner. She also tried to adopt a baby hippopotamus as a pet. "Flippant to strangers, the heroine of many humorous Broadway stories, unfortunately and unjustly mentioned in connection with several unpleasant escapades," Follette was part of Stanford White's social circle, and a confidante of Evelyn Nesbit before Nesbit married. She was sought to assist the prosecution at the highly-publicized trial of Nesbit's husband, Harry Kendall Thaw, in 1907. "It is believed she knows more of Stanford White and the inner life and workings of Evelyn Thaw than any living person," reported one account.

paragraph: After the trial, for a time, she worked on a plan to organize and train chorus girls. Follette also wrote poetry for publications, under a pen name. She was in vaudeville in 1908. Other works in her later career included "The Gay Musician" (1909), and "Shorty McCabe" (1911).

paragraph: A showgirl character in the 1915 silent film "Betty in Search of a Thrill" is named "Maizie Follette".

paragraph: Rita Guerrero

paragraph: Rita Guerrero (May 22, 1964 – March 11, 2011) was a Mexican artist active in various fields, mainly music and theater. She was vocalist of the rock band Santa Sabina, of which she was the most visible figure. After leaving the group, she was part of Ensamble Galileo, a project dedicated to the interpretation of Baroque music. Guerrero also hosted some television programs and supported various social movements in Mexico, such as the Zapatista Army of National Liberation and the country's electoral left.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Rita Guerrero was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco on May 22, 1964, the youngest of 11 siblings. She characterized her mother as a "big" and "traditional" woman, while her father was a trumpeter who taught her some guitar and awakened her love of the arts. One of her brothers bought her a piano so she could learn to play. Rita's father died when she was nine years old.

paragraph: At age 10 she began her instruction in the children's music workshop of the University of Guadalajara's Department of Fine Arts.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Mithridates' year of birth is not specified by ancient historians, but his coin mints illustrate him as a middle-aged man. He was probably a son of Mithridates II. In July/August 87 BC, Mithridates usurped the Parthian throne from Orodes I. Around the same period, the Seleucid ruler Demetrius III Eucaerus besieged his brother Philip I Philadelphus in Bereoa in Syria. The governor of the city, however, called on Aziz, an Arab phylarch (tribal leader), and the Parthian governor Mithridates Sinaces for help; with their aid, Demetrius III was defeated and taken hostage to Mithridates, who treated him with "honour" until he died of illness. In August/September 80 BC, Mithridates was dethroned in Babylon, and was shortly afterwards expelled from Susa by Orodes I. Mithridates may have survived this event and managed to flee to the north, where he continued fighting until he died the following year.

paragraph: Daniel M. Norton

paragraph: Daniel M. Norton, later Daniel McNorton, (c. 1843 – November 29, 1918) was a nineteenth-century African-American politician in Virginia. Norton served in the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1868 and the Virginia General Assembly, as did his brothers F. S. Norton (1869/71) and Robert Norton (1869-1974, 1876-1883).

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Norton was born in Williamsburg, Virginia, reportedly the son of his enslaved mother and her owner. In his teens, he and another brother Robert escaped to freedom in Troy, New York. Daniel received medical training from a doctor there and thereafter was often called "Doctor Norton”. In January 1860, Norton married his wife Edmonie in Philadelphia. By 1865, the two brothers had become prosperous barbers in Springfield, Massachusetts.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: At the end of the American Civil War, Norton returned to Virginia, in their home of York County where he may have had part ownership in the store his brother Robert operated. Establishing himself as a local leader, Daniel testified before Congress in February 1866 that freedmen were not being paid for their work, and vigilantes were a threat to them in the area if federal occupation ended. Although elected three times to serve on the Freedman’s Bureau local court, he was barred by the assistant commissioner for Virginia until a white man took his place.

paragraph: “Dr. Norton” and brother Robert established a beneficial society named Lone Star that enabled Daniel Norton a political power base in York County. In 1867, Norton was elected to the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1868. He was the sole delegate elected from the Lower Peninsula district made up of his home district of York County as well as James City County surrounding Norton’s birthplace in Williamsburg.

paragraph: Following the Convention, Norton continued his involvement in

paragraph: Republican politics, unsuccessfully seeking the party’s nomination for U.S. Congress three times. In the meantime he continued to acquire properties in York County, including much of the property in the African-American community in York County called Slabtown or Uniontown. Daniel Norton married Sarah A. Gant in Muskingum County, Ohio, on December 28, 1871.

paragraph: A moderate Republican, Norton began an unparalleled career as an African-American state Senator, not only serving during the period following Radical Reconstruction over the sessions 1871/72. 72/73, 77/78, 79/80, and 81/82, but also following the Conservative Democrat’s “redeeming” the state for whites in the sessions of 1883/84, August 1884, 85/86, and March 1887.

paragraph: During his career was a leader both within the Readjuster Republicans, and African-American Republicans as a splinter group. During his tenure on the Committees on General Laws, on Federal Relations, and on Public Institutions, he sponsored four bills the Assembly passed, and he nominated two county judges whom the Assembly elected. Norton nominated Benjamin W. Lacy to the Supreme Court of Appeals, and presided over the Senate of Virginia on April 7, 1882. During this period Norton won legislation to authorize him, his brother Robert Norton and three others to operate a ferry between Yorktown and Gloucester Point.

paragraph: Following the white “redeeming” of Virginia in the 1883 elections, Daniel Norton was again reelected. He became a member of the first Board of Visitors for the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute (later Virginia State University), and passed a bill providing for an annual eight-week summer session for African-American public school teachers there. Though Norton secured a position as an inspector in the Newport News Customs House as a political appointment, a break with U.S. Senator William Mahone led to the end of Norton's state senate career.

paragraph: In later years, Norton served as a justice of the peace in Yorktown until 1917. He continued to expand his real estate holdings. By 1894, he not only owned sixty-eight acres in York County, but fourteen and a half lots in Yorktown, including the old customs house.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Daniel M. Norton died of interstitial nephritis in his wife’s hometown of Zanesville, Ohio on November 29, 1918.

paragraph: Baude Cordier

paragraph: Baude Cordier (born c. 1380 in Rheims, died before 1440) was a French composer from Rheims; it has been suggested that Cordier was the nom de plume of Baude Fresnel. Cordier's works are considered among the prime examples of ars subtilior. In line with that cultural trend, he was fond of using red note notation, also known as coloration, a technique stemming from the general practice of mensural notation. The change in color adjusts the rhythm of a particular note from its usual form. (This musical style and type of notation has also been termed "mannerism" and "mannered notation.")

paragraph: Ten of Cordier's secular pieces survive, most of which are rondeaux:

paragraph: BULLET::::- some are in the rhythmically complex late fourteenth-century French style of ars subtilior, such as "Amans amés secretement" (Lovers, love discreetly).

paragraph: BULLET::::- others are simpler, with greater emphasis on lyrical melody, such as "Belle, Bonne, Sage", also transcribed in HAM, and characterized with "Amans" as a rondeau.

paragraph: Two of the composer's chansons are in the Chantilly Manuscript and are well-known examples of eye music:

paragraph: BULLET::::- the love song "Belle, Bonne, Sage" ("Beautiful, Good, Wise"). The manuscript is in the shape of a heart.
