  William Blackstone: Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-1769)
COMMENTARIES ON THE LAWS OF ENGLAND (1765-1769), by William Blackstone, Esq., Vinerian Professor of Law and Solicitor General to the Queen.
Blackstone's Commentaries was the first organized compendium of English law which served as a model for all legal treatises to follow.
The Commentaries was especially popular in the American colonies, and was instrumental in shaping the opinions of the founders of the United States in the years following its publication.

 MyJewishLearning.com - Texts: Commentaries on the Talmud
The commentary to tractate Makkot (from 19b) was completed by his student and son‑in‑law, R. Yehudah ben Natan (Rivan) and the commentary to tractate Bava Batra (from 29a) was written in his style by his grandson, R. Shmuel ben Meir (Rashbam).
The commentary of Rashi that is usually printed alongside the Rif (an 11th century work summarizing the halakhic material in the Talmud, by R. Yitzhak Alfassi) is not considered to be accurate and may be based on earlier versions.
Unlike the commentaries of Rashi and Tosafot, the commentary of Rabbenu Hananel is a synopsis of the talmudic discussion and does not explain the text or compare it to other sources.

 Guidelines for Commentaries for English 303Z   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Commentaries are the page or so (about 200-300 words) of writing about your writing and reading that you will do each week.
Once we begin posting commentaries on the class newsgroup, you will be expected to read all of the commentaries posted by class members each week and post your own commentary for the week.
Those shorter commentaries, assuming that they contribute in a thoughtful way to the discussion, can be counted as your one commentary for the week.

Commentaries to the Guidelines for Practice of the AIC
These Commentaries, created by the AIC membership and approved by the Board of Directors, are intended to amplify the Guidelines for Practice so that they serve the needs of the different areas of specialization in the profession and accommodate growth and change in the field.
While the Commentaries strive to acknowledge variations in requirements for the different areas of specialization, the level of detail may not fulfill the need for guidance in all cases.

 Bible Commentaries
Usually, we have found the despisers of commentaries to be men who have no sort of acquaintance with them; in their case, it is the opposite of familiarity which has bred contempt.
Remember that every commentary is written by a human author, and is it is natural that the comments are strongly biased by the author's general belief system and the approach to the
of the passage (this caveat is especially true of prophetic passages where specific commentaries can vary "wildly") so that he or she will not misled by the comments in the commentary.

 On Commentaries Dr. David Howard
Homiletical (or “preaching”) commentaries are much more self-consciously focused upon making relevant applications of the text to the modern, contemporary world, and they commonly refer to events, ideas, and movements in contemporary culture.
If homiletical commentaries are used, I recommend they be used where their strengths lie: in bringing in relevant illustrations and making proper application.
However, careful expositors—having worked in depth on the text and consulted a few good exegetical commentaries to flesh out their exposition (see below, on “How to Use a Commentary”)—will not need to rely on a homiletical commentary’s attempts at exegesis, which are almost always weaker than the exegetical commentaries at this point.

 Beyond the Tipitaka
Finally, the commentaries often contain magnificent stories to illustrate and amplify upon points of Dhamma that are made in the suttas.
The commentaries recount heroic stories of monks who, fearing that the treasure of the Tipitaka might forever be lost, retreated to the relative safety of the south coast, where they survived only on roots and leaves, reciting the texts amongst themselves day and night.
The commentary tells how Kisagotami, distraught by the death of her son, wandered in vain from door to door with his corpse in her arms, in search of a cure for his ailment.

 Using Bible Commentaries
When you read a commentary, you are simply reading what some man said about the text, that may or may not help in your study.
Commentaries may help you find the best words and phrases to express what you have found in the text.
Then, if you consult Barnes' commentary to help you find the words to emphasize what the text means, you may find his comments helpful: "He [John] cautions them against trusting to every kind of spirit, or supposing that every spirit which animated even the professed friends of religion was the Spirit of God...

 Comments on Commentaries
Commentaries are one of the best ways to check your own interpretation of Scripture against that of others and benefit from knowledge that was bought at the price of years of study and toil.
Most commentaries include an introduction to each book of the Bible that discusses authorship, dates, the circumstances in which the book was written, intended audience, and the relationship of that book to the rest of the Bible.
The appropriate use of commentaries is the subject of much discussion, a topic that is beyond the scope of this article (though Logos offers a number of excellent resources on exegesis and hermeneutics).

 Parableman: Commentaries on the Gospel of John
The original commentary was published in two volumes, one in the late 80s and the other in the early 90s.
This commentary is very detailed and probably will serve students and scholars more than expositors, but it isn't outside the range that a pastor with good training could handle.
He intended this commentary to be useful for pastors and scholars alike, and it is highly readable yet very well informed.

The commentaries explain that the reason for this terrible decree was revealed to Mordechai by Eliyahu HaNavi (the prophet Elijah).
The commentaries explain that she was waiting for a sign that HaShem had accepted the repentance of the Jewish people.

 Commentaries on the Laws of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Commentaries on the Laws of England are an influential 18th century treatise on the common law of England by Sir William Blackstone, originally published by the Clarendon Press at Oxford, 1765-1769.
The Commentaries are often quoted as the definitive pre-Revolutionary War source of Common Law by US courts; in particular, the United States Supreme Court quotes from Blackstone's work whenever they wish to engage in historical discussion that goes back that far, or further (for example, when discussing the intent of the Framers of the Constitution).
Blackstone frequently had to resort to the devices of assuring his reader that the laws as written were not actually enforced, and that the King's power of pardon existed to correct any hardships or injustices.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Commentaries on the Bible
There was a story among the Jews in the Middle Ages to the effect that Aristotle accompanied Alexander the Great to Jerusalem, and, with characteristic Greek craftiness, obtained possession of the wisdom of Solomon, which he subsequently palmed off on his countrymen as his own.
Most of the patristic commentaries are in the form of homilies, or discourses to the faithful, and range over the whole of Scripture.
Great as was the merit of the work of Maldonatus, it was equalled by the commentary on the Epistles by Estius (born at Gorcum, Holland, 1542), a secular priest, and superior of the College at Douai.

 Aristotelianism in the Renaissance (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
This is because many authors of Aristotle commentaries — including some who had a particular preference for one or more of the earlier commentators — used the earlier commentaries on a case by case basis.
As a consequence, the choice of texts commented upon and the degree of detail given to a certain passage is often due, at least in part, to its use in a classroom, a universitarian debate or its relevance for exams.
Commentaries and textbooks are not the only types of texts used for interpreting, discussing, defending, adapting and transforming the doctrines of Aristotle (and his commentators) in the Renaissance.

 Sonnet Commentaries: Introduction
A selection from the 154 sonnet commentaries, the earliest versions of which were published between 1996 and 2002 in a fortnightly column in the Stratford Press, Stratford, New Zealand.
The commentaries in Volume 2 are unique in the Sonnet literature in that they approach the individual sonnets from the vantage of their inherent philosophy.
However, as these commentaries on individual sonnets do not supply meanings for words and phrases unfamiliar to modern readers, the work of academic editors who have delved into Elizabethan usage can be useful for philological, etymological, historical and literary information.

 The Epoch Times - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Portions of the history given by the Commentaries are allegedly difficult to support using traditionally respected history texts of 20th century China, which supporters of the "Commentaries" attribute to the CPC's need for control and tendency to try to cover up its more damaging actions.
In December 2005, the author of the "Nine Commentaries" was identified as Zheng Peichun, a Chinese dissident, who was arrested on the charge of crimes against the state and was sentenced to 7 years imprisonment.
Critics nonetheless say the commentaries have had no discernible effect on Chinese politics, and that no CPC official in either the central or regional governments is known to have resigned on account of the "Commentaries".

But this alone would have been an imperfect security, if it had not been followed up by a declaration of the right of the free exercise of religion, and a prohibition (as we have seen) of all religious tests.

If the reading predictions of pole-shift are correct, the world will soon experience "darkening of the sun" and breaking up of our planet's crust "in diverse places." These two omens will usher in a period of historically-unprecedented Earth changes and, for those who have prepared, mental and spiritual awakening.
