The thirteen essays in this volume are largely revised papers which were originally presented as part of the Ancient Historiography Seminar of the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies and they investigate particular texts of Chronicles, examine central themes, and consider future prospects for Chronicles study. The volume includes chapters by Shannon E. Baines, Ehud Ben Zvi, Mark J. Boda, Keith Bodner, Paul S. Evans, Louis Jonker, Gary N. Knoppers, Christine Mitchell, Peter J. Sabo, Steven J. Schweitzer, and John W. Wright. The essays represent many different perspectives, methodologies, and conclusions regarding the Chronicler's work and this volume will be of particular interest to scholars and students of Chronicles, ancient Israelite historiography and biblical literature in general.

Local chronicles meticulously document regional history, but their potential for disseminating and preserving local cultural heritage has not been fully exploited. Narrative maps offer new inspiration for expressing local chronicles. Nonetheless, existing studies often lack a structured methodology for translating textual narratives into effective map designs. This study proposes a systematic workflow to transform local chronicles into narrative maps, guiding the visual encoding of narrative content through elaborate map layouts, distinctive and meaningful colors, figurative hand-painted symbols, and scene symbols. The application and effectiveness of this method are demonstrated through a detailed case study mapping the Shaolin martial arts culture. The resulting map illustrates how structured design can unlock the cultural value of local chronicles, enhance public engagement, and assist in heritage preservation. The proposed method provides a replicable reference for designing narrative maps from other textual materials.

Abstract This study examines the gallery project in the Hall of Kings at the Alcazar of Segovia, constructed by Enrique IV of Castile around 1458-1466, from the point of view of an understanding of royal iconography and the composition of the inscriptions that accompanied them. To achieve this, our starting point will be the testimonies that reproduced the inscriptions of the original project: the Memorial que se sacó del Alcaçar de Segobia, de la sala de los Reyes (1588) (Report Copied from the Hall of Kings at the Alcazar of Segovia) by Juan Fernandez de Contreras, governor of the Alcazar, and De las estatuas antiguas (Of Ancient Statues) (1590) by Diego de Villalta. The work will enable us to highlight the close contact that the gallery had with the combination of chronicles, the complementary role that text and image had in the concept of the project and its role in communicating a set of historical images which stressed the link between the Castilian monarchy and the Visigothic kings. Para ello, partiremos de los testimonios escritos que reproducen las cartelas del primitivo proyecto: el Memorial que se sacó del Alcaçar de Segobia, de la sala de los Reyes (1588)7, realizado por Juan Fernández de Contreras († 1608), alcaide del alcázar, quien se encargó de remitir una copia de las inscripciones a la catedral de Santiago de Compostela por carta fechada el 17 de julio de 1588s, en el marco del acopio de materiales que la Iglesia de Santiago realizó con el fin de defender el cobro del Voto de Santiago, dentro del conocido como Pleito grande; y el tratado De las estatuas antiguas (1590) del cronista y anticuario Diego de Villalta, conservado en sendas copias manuscritas en la British Library (Londres)9 y en la Fundación Lázaro Galdiano (Madrid)10. La serie estaría así diseñada probablemente para ser vista desde el acceso a la sala de Reyes a través de la sala de las Pinas y del actual patio del Reloj, que ofrecía una perspectiva que, en ambos casos, dejaría la efigie de Enrique IV a la derecha del espectador, posición que gozaba de una especial preeminencia en el período medieval19.

The horrific torture and execution of hundreds of thousands of Cambodians by Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge during the 1970s is one of the century's major human disasters. David Chandler, a world-renowned historian of Cambodia, examines the Khmer Rouge phenomenon by focusing on one of its key institutions, the secret prison outside Phnom Penh known by the code name \"S-21.\" The facility was an interrogation center where more than 14,000 \"enemies\" were questioned, tortured, and made to confess to counterrevolutionary crimes. Fewer than a dozen prisoners left S-21 alive. During the Democratic Kampuchea (DK) era, the existence of S-21 was known only to those inside it and a few high-ranking Khmer Rouge officials. When invading Vietnamese troops discovered the prison in 1979, murdered bodies lay strewn about and instruments of torture were still in place. An extensive archive containing photographs of victims, cadre notebooks, and DK publications was also found. Chandler utilizes evidence from the S-21 archive as well as materials that have surfaced elsewhere in Phnom Penh. He also interviews survivors of S-21 and former workers from the prison. Documenting the violence and terror that took place within S-21 is only part of Chandler's story. Equally important is his attempt to understand what happened there in terms that might be useful to survivors, historians, and the rest of us. Chandler discusses the \"culture of obedience\" and its attendant dehumanization, citing parallels between the Khmer Rouge executions and the Moscow Show Trails of the 1930s, Nazi genocide, Indonesian massacres in 1965-66, the Argentine military's use of torture in the 1970s, and the recent mass killings in Bosnia and Rwanda. In each of these instances, Chandler shows how turning victims into \"others\" in a manner that was systematically devaluing and racialist made it easier to mistreat and kill them. More than a chronicle of Khmer Rouge barbarism, Voices from S-21 is also a judicious examination of the psychological dimensions of state-sponsored terrorism that conditions human beings to commit acts of unspeakable brutality.
