Hasdai rendered important services to his master by his treatment of an embassy headed by John of Gorze, sent to Córdoba in 956 by Otto I. The caliph, fearing that the letter of the German emperor might contain matter derogatory to Islam, commissioned Hasdai to open the negotiations with the envoys. Hasdai, who soon perceived that the letter could not be delivered to the caliph in its present form, persuaded the envoys to send for another letter which should contain no objectionable matter. John of Gorze said that he had "never seen a man of such subtle intellect as the Jew Hasdeu" ("Vita Johannis Gorziensis," ch. ...

Yunmen was renowned for his forceful and direct yet subtle teaching and for his wisdom and skill at oratory; fittingly, Yunmen is one of the greatest pioneers of "live words", "old cases", and paradoxical statements that would later evolve into the koan tradition, along with Zhaozhou (Japanese: Jōshū Jūshin). He also famously specialized in apparently meaningless single word answers, like "Guan!" (literally, "barrier" or "frontier pass") —these were called "Yunmen's One Word Barriers". Most were collected in the Yúnmé ...

Besides the official nengō system, one encounters in pre-modern works the use of private or unofficial nengō system, known as shinengō (私年号). Little is known about the origin of shinengō. However, scholars have pointed out that the shinengō Hakuho (白鳳) was used during the period from 673 to 686, when no official nengō was designated. Another shinengō Hoko (法興) is said to have been in use during the reign of Emperor Suiko (推古天皇), by the Prince Shotoku (聖徳太子) ...

The difference in altitude is about 80 meters from the lowest point in the south to the highest point in the north. Lund is located in Sweden's largest agricultural district, less than 10km from the sandy shore of the Öresund Straits and about 16km from Malmö. From the top of ...
