[David Lloyd Dusenbury @DusenburyDavid]

A French Jesuit in Peking, Joachim Bouvet (d. 1730), came to believe that the “I Ching” was not only China’s oldest text — but humankind’s.

Older, even, than the “Book of Genesis”.

Bouvet’s theory led G. W. Leibniz to perfect his binomial notation of mathematics (0-1) — which led, several centuries on, to digital computing, cybernetics & AI.

I had this book bookmarked at the start of the year, and I recently read a review and listened to a podcast interview with the author.

It offers a fascinating account of the cultural and religious transformation of Egypt and the Levant. Contrary to popular belief, this transformation, although rapid, began several centuries after the Muslim conquests and was driven less by the direct imposition of Islam by early Muslim states than by the collapse of those empires and the crises that subsequently gripped the region.

This is not to suggest that onerous taxation and social discrimination had not gradually eroded Christian demographic predominance in these regions. However, they alone did not turn them into predominantly Muslim societies, and early Muslim rulers were not especially intent on converting a population that constituted a major source of tax revenue.

The decisive shift appears to have occurred later, amid state breakdown and regional fragmentation under competing warlords, until the Ottomans eventually restored a prolonged period of stability.

[LiorLefineder @lefineder]

This.

"To begin with, the pages which follow will argue at some length that the series of French civil wars which began with the massacre at Vassy in 1562 and concluded with the Peace of Alais in 1629 was a conflict fought primarily over the issue of religion.

This may startle some readers, used to the generations of historians and not a few sixteenth-century contemporaries who believed steadfastly that the main actors in the religious wars only used religion as a pretext, a ‘cloak’ in the words of the Parisian diarist Pierre de l’Estoile, to mask their political, dynastic, or personal power struggles. Moreover, other historians (and not just Marxist historians) have interpreted the civil wars as fomented mainly by socio-economic tensions rather than ideology... religion was nevertheless the fulcrum upon which the civil wars balanced."
