Albert Sleumer
Albert Sleumer (1876 - 1964) ( ɑɫbərt ˈslɔʏmər, a doctor, was the second Cifal (1912–1948) of the Volapük movement. Like Johann Martin Schleyer, Sleumer was a Catholic priest. Biography Sleumer began learning Volapük only in 1892—after the "classical period" of the Volapük movement, directly from Schleyer. In 1910, Schleyer named Sleumer his successor, and when he died in 1912, Sleumer became Cifal. In 1921, Arie de Jong proposed to Sleumer his plan for reforming the language, and when this reform was prepared in 1929, he put the whole not only to Sleumer, but also to Jacob Sprenger. Sleumer, De Jong and Sprenger were the last group who led the linguistic development of Volapük like a small school. In 1934, Sleumer issued a decree regulating the rights and duties of Cifals; in 1948 he resigned as Cifal, appointing Jacob Sprenger his successor. Sleumer was a famous Latinist and theologian, defending in 1906 the need for the Church censure. Works * 1914. '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Yesus Kristus In Kuraan Slamanas
Jesus, likely from he, יֵשׁוּעַ, translit=Yēšūaʿ, label= Hebrew/ Aramaic ( AD 30 or 33), also referred to as Jesus Christ or Jesus of Nazareth (among other names and titles), was a first-century Jewish preacher and religious leader; he is the central figure of Christianity, the world's largest religion. Most Christians believe he is the incarnation of God the Son and the awaited Messiah (the Christ) prophesied in the Hebrew Bible. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically. Research into the historical Jesus has yielded some uncertainty on the historical reliability of the Gospels and on how closely the Jesus portrayed in the New Testament reflects the historical Jesus, as the only detailed records of Jesus' life are contained in the Gospels. Jesus was a Galilean Jew who was circumcised, was baptized by John the Baptist, began his own ministry and was often referred to as "rabbi". Jesus debated with f ...
