Histoire De La Province Romaine De Crete-Cyrenaique, De Pompee A Diocletien

by F Chevrollier

~~112,63€~~ 101,37€ 10% OFF

 Alors que les recherches sur la Crete romaine connaissent depuis une vingtaine d''annees un important renouveau, que les fouilles conduites jusqu''a peu en Cyrenaique fournissent de plus en plus d''informations sur la periode du Haut-Empire, et que le corpus des Inscriptions of Roman Cyrenaica est recemment paru, le cadre administratif dans lequel vivaient ces deux regions de la pars Graeca entre l''epoque de Pompee et la Tetrarchie a paradoxalement peu suscite l''attention des historiens, en raison de leur caractere peripherique et de leur marginalite supposee. La province de Crete-Cyrenaique est ici etudiee du point de vue de son histoire administrative, depuis sa formation dans le courant du Ier siecle av. J.-C. jusqu''a sa separation apres les reformes de Diocletien. L''organisation interne de la province, le statut des poleis, entre cites libres et coloniae, ainsi que les enjeux militaires d''un espace a la fois maritime et desertique, sont decrits. Est egalement etablie la prosopographie complete des magistrats romains (proconsuls, legats, questeurs, procurateurs) dont les carrieres sont analysees. Cette synthese sur l''une des rares doubles provinces de l''Empire a pour objectif de montrer ce que les sources cretoises et cyreneennes s''apportent mutuellement, de repondre a certains questionnements relatifs a la gestion des prouinciae romaines et de contribuer plus generalement a l''histoire de l''Orient hellenophone a l''epoque imperiale. Over the last twenty years, major advances have been made in research on Roman Crete, while excavations in Cyrenaica have provided new information on the Early Imperial period. More recently, the corpus of the Inscriptions of Roman Cyrenaica has been published. However, the administrative framework in which these two regions of the pars Graeca flourished between Pompey and the Tetrarchy has paradoxically received little attention from historians, due to their peripheral location and supposed marginality. The administrative evolution of the province of Crete and Cyrene, from its formation during the1st century BCE to its separation after the reforms of Diocletian, is first studied. The internal organization of the province, the status of the poleis - between free cities and coloniae - as well as the challenges of defending an area that was both maritime and on the edge of the desert, are described. A complete prosopography of the Roman officials (proconsuls, legates, quaestors, procurators) as well as an analysis of their careers are also included. This synthesis of one of the Empire''s few dual provinces aims to demonstrate what Cretan and Cyrenaican sources contribute to each other, to answer certain questions on the management of the Roman prouinciae, and to offer a more general contribution to the history of the Greek East during the Imperial period.

Medecine Et Christianisme - Actes Du Colloque International De Paris, Septembre 2016

103,35€ + 10% CARD

 Following the volume Les Peres de l''Eglise et la science medicale de leur temps, published in 2005, the present work collects 9 papers presented at the international conference organised at Sorbonne University on 15 and 16 September 2016. Based on the examination of the original texts, the papers endeavour to study the links between the Christian authors and the ancient Greek medical texts from an interdisciplinary approach. Particular attention is paid to the use in Christian texts of quotations from medical literature, medical notions, and specialized lexicon. The papers also analyse and compare the medical vocabulary attested in different types of contemporaneous writings, both pagan and Christian, literary and documentary, to better understand the process of transmission and assimilation of Greek medical science by the Christian society in the first centuries AD.

Religion Et Interdits Alimentaires - Archeozoologie Et Sources Litteraires

141,78€ + 10% CARD

 The confrontation of literary sources and archaeological data is important to try altogether to understand the implementation of dietary prohibitions peculiar to a religion, the limits of the practice of dietary prohibitions and their evolution over time. Food prohibitions and restrictions on commensality allow different religious groups to draw a line between "them" and "us". The body of normative texts pertaining to religious and civil laws prohibiting the consumption of particular foods has often been studied for Judaism or Islam, less often for polytheisms, Zoroastrianism or Christianity. We intend to present the normative literature and to reflect on the limits of its implementation, relying on archaeozoology that can provide data on the discrepancy between norm and practice.

Quand Les Dualistes Polemiquaient - Zoroastriens Et Manicheens

123,23€ + 10% CARD

 Les auteurs de cet ouvrage montrent que le zoroastrisme et le manicheisme, qui partagent une vision dualiste du monde et des entites primordiales, ont pose de facon similaire au judaisme, au christianisme et a l''islam la question du rapport des adeptes a la verite et donc a l''erreur des autres. Cet ouvrage apporte donc une pierre fondamentale a l''etude du phenomene de la controverse religieuse dans l''Antiquite tardive et au debut du Moyen Age. Il nous permet de mieux apprehender deux systemes de pensee de l''Orient, en ce qu''ils ont de commun mais aussi dans leur irreductible singularite. The authors of this collected volume show that Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism, which share a dualist vision of the world and the primordial entities, have raised in a similar way to Judaism, Christianity and Islam the question of the relationship of their followers to truth and therefore the error made by others. The volume makes a fundamental contribution to the study of the phenomenon of religious controversy in Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. It allows us to better understand two Eastern systems of thought, both in what they have in common and in their irreducible individuality.

De Bagdad A Constantinople - Le Transfert Des Savoirs Medicaux (Xie-Xive Siecles): Actes Du Colloque International De Reims, 24-25 Mai 2018

~~141,78€~~ 127,60€ 10% OFF

 In the process of the translatio studiorum, two stages are nowadays well-known: the translation of Greek texts into Arabic in Abbasid Baghdad in the 9th-10th centuries, and the Arabo-Latin translations in medieval Western Europe between the 11th and 14th centuries. However, for a long time, Byzantines have appeared distant from this extensive exchange of knowledge circulating from one side to the other of the Mediterranean. Exploring the understudied phenomenon of the transmission of Arab medical knowledge to Byzantium from the 11th to the 14th century, this collective volume aims to highlight that the Byzantines actively participated in this multicultural erudition by embracing the medical theories and practices of their Eastern and Western neighbours. The book attempts to trace the history of this chain through historical investigations and philological study of translations. Furthermore, it includes a critical edition and translation of two previously unpublished Arabo-Byzantine translations: the treatise On the Manual of Health According to the Balance of the Six Causes by Symeon Seth, which partially translates Ibn Butlan''s Almanac of Health (Taqwim al-sihha, in Latin Tacuinum sanitatis), and an anonymous translation of Ibn al-Gazzar''s Epistle on Forgetfulness and Its Treatment.

 Le deuxieme livre de Samuel (II Regnes dans la Septante) est consacre a l''arrivee au pouvoir et au regne du roi David, evenement central dans l''histoire de la royaute en Israel. Le texte, transmis en differents etats (texte massoretique, fragments qumraniens, plusieurs traductions grecques, latines et orientales), fait partie des livres historiques de la Bible et presente a cet egard une valeur documentaire considerable et en meme temps problematique. Cet ouvrage croise les approches des philologues, des historiens, des specialistes de l''exegese, sur l''histoire du texte et sur ses receptions jusqu''a l''epoque contemporaine. The second book of Samuel ("II Kingdoms" in the Septuagint) is devoted to the coming to power and reign of King David, a central event in the history of kingship in Israel. The text, which has been handed down in various states (Massoretic text, Qumran fragments, several Greek, Latin and Oriental translations), is one of the "historical books" of the Bible and, in this respect, is of considerable documentary value, as well as being problematic. This book brings together the approaches of philologists, historians and specialists in exegesis, on the history of the text and its reception up to the present day.

Fratries Et Relations Adelphiques Dans Les Cites Grecques (Ive S. A.C. - Iie S. P.C.)

~~177,55€~~ 159,80€ 10% OFF

 La suprematie politique des elites civiques aux epoques hellenistique et imperiale n''est plus a demontrer. Les moyens par lesquels certaines familles parvenaient a asseoir durablement leur preeminence dans le cadre specifique des poleis grecques, majoritairement democratiques, restent cependant insuffisamment analyses et la place de freres dans les processus de reproduction des elites n''a jamais fait l''objet d''une etude d''ensemble. Les strategies juridiques, economiques et sociales employees pour preserver et perpetuer le capital materiel et symbolique de l''oikos revelent en effet l''importance des solidarites entre freres ou entre freres et soeurs et la necessaire repartition des roles dans les fratries. En convoquant les archives epigraphiques des cites de plusieurs regions du monde grec (Grece, Macedoine, Egee, Asie Mineure) et en examinant de nombreuses sources litteraires (orateurs attiques, Menandre, Plutarque, litterature astrologique) et archeologiques (epigrammes funeraires, monuments familiaux), cet ouvrage se veut une contribution a l''histoire sociale des elites civiques au miroir des relations adelphiques. The political supremacy of civic elites in the Hellenistic and Imperial periods is a well established fact. However, the means by which certain families succeeded in establishing their pre-eminence over the long term within the specific framework of the Greek poleis, most of which were democratic, remain insufficiently analysed, and the role of brothers in the reproduction of elites has never been the subject of a comprehensive study. The legal, economic and social strategies employed to preserve and perpetuate the material and symbolic capital of the oikos reveal the importance of solidarity between brothers or between brothers and sisters and the necessary division of roles among siblings. By drawing on the "epigraphic archives" of cities in several regions of the Greek world (Greece, Macedonia, the Aegean, Asia Minor) and examining numerous literary (Attic orators, Menander, Plutarch, astrological literature) as well as archaeological sources (funerary epigrams, family monuments), this book aims to contribute to the social history of civic elites as seen through fraternal relations.

Representations Et Personnification De La Sagesse Dans L'Antiquite Et Au-Dela

170,93€ + 10% CARD

 Par Dame Sagesse on designe generalement la figure de la sagesse telle qu''elle apparaOEt dans quelques passages bibliques. Si la personnification litteraire est un phenomene relativement courant, celle de la sagesse est plus etonnante, puisqu''elle se developpe au point de donner a cette figure une identite unique en relation avec Dieu. La question n''est donc plus seulement litteraire, au point que les concepts d''immanence, de transcendance ou meme d''hypostase ont pu etre proposes pour la definir, sans oublier les nombreuses tentatives qui l''assimilent a quelque divinite antique connue ou aujourd''hui oubliee. Les diverses etudes reunies dans ce volume considerent d''abord les epoques et les milieux d''emergence des diverses representations de la sagesse dans l''Antiquite, elles creusent les influences possibles voire evidentes au sein des traditions mesopotamiennes, egyptiennes, levantines et grecques et demontrent finalement comment la figure de la sagesse personnifiee est une figure fluide, en constante evolution, au gre de certains milieux religieux et de leurs interrogations. Lady Wisdom usually refers to the figure of wisdom personified in some biblical texts. If personification is a relatively common literary device, that of wisdom is more striking, as it develops to the point of giving to the figure a unique identity in relation to God. The question is no longer literary, and concepts of immanence, transcendence and even hypostasis have been proposed to define her, as well as diverse identifications with some known or now forgotten ancient divinity. The contributions in this volume seek first to consider the context of each witness of the representations of wisdom in Antiquity, they trace possible influences within Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Levantine and Greek traditions, and finally demonstrate how wisdom personified is a fluid figure, in constant evolution, according to certain religious milieux and their interrogations.

De Suse e Sedeinga, de Petra a Jerusalem, il observe, analyse, et recense les vestiges des multiples societes qui se sont succede dans ce croissant si fertile au carrefour de l''Afrique et de l''Asie. Fort de cette erudition qui le caracterise, c''est a Saqqyra qu''il trouve le mieux a exercer ses talents d''architecte et d''homme de terrain. La rencontre avec Jean Leclant et Jean-Philippe Lauer le convainc de consacrer ses efforts a la restitution des vestiges monumentaux qui font le renom de cette necropole royale. Directeur pendant quarante ans des fouilles de la necropole de Pepy Ier, il met au jour le complexe de ce roi et les ensembles des reines qui lui sont associes. Cet ouvrage se veut a l''image de ce travailleur infatigable. Ses amis et collegues presentent ici un temoignage de reconnaissance et lui offrent un ensemble de contributions qui toutes rendent hommage a l''oeuvre entreprise, par des etudes archeologiques et d''histoire, des presentations de monuments ou d''objets inedits provenant pour l''essentiel de la vallee du Nil. Among Audran Labrousse''s many lives, that of the architect and archaeologist must be the focus of our attention. An insatiable hands-on man, he has been travelling through excavation sites for half a century, criss-crossing the Near East and East Africa with his sharp eye and an innate sense of the monuments and civilizations he encounters. From Susa to Sedeinga, from Petra to Jerusalem, he observes, analyses and inventories the remains of the many societies that have succeeded one another in this very fertile crescent, at the crossroads of Africa and Asia. With this erudition that characterizes him, it is in Saqqara that he found the best way to exercise his talents as an architect and a man of action. His meeting with Jean Leclant and Jean-Philippe Lauer convinced him to devote his efforts to the restitution of the monumental remains this royal necropolis is famous for. As the Director of the excavations of the necropolis of Pepy I for forty years, he uncovered the complex of this king and the several queens associated with him.

Les Archives Administratives De L'Ancien Empire

131,18€ + 10% CARD

 Ce volume presente les actes d''un colloque international organise conjointement par l''universite de la Sorbonne et l''universite de Geneve a Paris entre le 12 et le 15 fevrier 2015. Cette reunion avait pour objectif d''etablir un etat de l''art de la documentation papyrologique de l''Ancien Empire egyptien, et plus generalement de celle des archives administratives qui nous sont connues pour cette periode de l''histoire pharaonique (lettres, comptabilites, inventaires, journaux de bords d''equipes de travail, listes de personnel). Elle a permis de reunir la quasi totalite des chercheurs qui etudient ce type de sources, et de presenter successivement des lots documentaires, ou parfois certains documents isoles, issus de la region memphite (papyrus d''Abousir et de Saqqara), de la Haute et Moyenne Egypte (Meir, Sharouna, Gebelein, Elephantine), voire de zones plus peripheriques de l''espace egyptien ayant egalement livre des archives similaires (ouadi el-Jarf sur la cote de la mer Rouge, Balat/Ayn Asil, dans l''oasis de Dakhla). Pour chacun de ces dossiers, les contributeurs font le point sur la documentation disponible et l''avancement des etudes la concernant. De nombreux exemples - certains totalement inedits - sont egalement publies dans ce volume, afin de mieux definir le mode d''organisation de ces sources fondamentales, et ainsi de mieux apprehender le fonctionnement des differents rouages de l''administration a cette periode, aussi bien au sein d''une meme institution qu''a l''echelon provincial ou central. This collective volume presents the proceedings of an international symposium co-organized by Sorbonne university and Geneva university in Paris between February 12th and 15th 2015. The aim of the such a meeting was to establish a state of the art of the papyrological documentation known to us for this specific period of pharaonic history (letters, accounting documents, inventories, working teams'' logbooks, personnel registers). By bringing together most specialists of this type of historic sources, it has enabled a complete presentation of the main series of documents from the Memphite area (papyri of Abusir and Sakkara), from Upper or Middle Egypt (Meir, Sharuna, Gebelein, Elephantine), or even from more remote places like the wadi el-Jarf harbour on the Red sea shores or Balat-Ayn Asil archives in the Dakhla oasis. Each contributor gives an overview of the available documentation and the most recent studies related to it. Numerous examples, some of them hitherto unpublished, are illustrated in this volume so as to better understand the way those lots are organized and to fully apprehend how the administration of this period was managed at the provincial as well as central level.

Regards Croises D'Orient Et D'Occident. Les Barrages Dans L'Antiquite Tardive - Actes Du Colloque, 7-8 Janvier 2011, Paris, Fondation Simone Et Cino Del Duca. Organise Dans Le Cadre Du Programme Anr Eaumaghreb

168,28€ + 10% CARD

 English summary: The collected articles in this volume examine classical period dams from Algeria and Tunisia, focusing on the current state of preservation as well as current understanding of the construction techniques employed. Comparisons with contemporary constructions in similar regions, from Spain to Syria and Israel, the participating archeologists and historians advance chronological and technical analyses of antique and proto-Islamic dams. French description: La ou l''eau est rare, donc precieuse, il s''agit d''en maitriser le flot pour la diriger ou elle est utile, la retenir pour l''accumuler, puis la redistribuer le moment venu de maniere efficace. Dans cette perspective, les barrages constituent un outil privilegie, mais d''une grande diversite. Le choix de leur implantation est essentiel, comme celui des techniques de construction mises en oeuvre, parfois tres simples, des murets de pierre, ou plus elaborees. Des dispositifs permettent alors de rejeter l''eau en excedent, de prelever celle qui est retenue, ou de vidanger l''ouvrage. En Afrique du Nord, les barrages font partie des installations dont les traces ont ete recherchees des les premieres explorations archeologiques, dans la perspective qui etait alors celle d''une reactivation des techniques hydrauliques developpees par les Romains. Les diverses enquetes conduites en Algerie et en Tunisie n''ont pas manque d''en relever les vestiges. Il a donc paru interessant, dans le cadre d''un programme de recherche consacre a l''eau dans les villes et les campagnes de l''Afrique du Nord (EauMaghreb) de l''Agence nationale de la recherche, de reprendre ce dossier pour tenter d''apprecier l''etat des vestiges et ce que l''on peut savoir des techniques utilisees, sous le regard croise des archeologues, des historiens et des geographes. Mais il a egalement semble pertinent, pour mieux degager le caractere de ces amenagements dans le Maghreb antique, de les confronter a ceux d''autres regions dans lesquelles la situation est tres favorable : la peninsule Iberique, mais aussi la peninsule Arabique et les zones arides de Syrie, de Jordanie et d''Israel, qui comptent un grand nombre de barrages antiques ou proto-islamiques presentant une parente evidente. Dans ces regions en effet, une vingtaine de barrages, souvent tres spectaculaires, sont situes dans le temps de maniere precise grace a une inscription de fondation qui donne une date ou fait mention d''un personnage connu. Ils offrent donc des reperes chronologiques tres precieux qui manquent ailleurs, notamment pour dater l''apparition de certaines innovations techniques et pour preciser les caracteristiques de ces ouvrages. Le colloque avait donc rassemble specialistes du monde romain occidental, du Levant et de l''Arabie, dont ce volume presente les travaux.

Ancient Mesopotamian Herbal Handbook - The Series Uru.An.Na And Mud-Ur.Mah. Volume 1: The Tablets

by J.C. Fincke

129,85€ + 10% CARD

 The related series uru.an.na = mas / ltakkal, "uru.an.na means the mas/ltakkal plant", and mud-ur.mah = me sa libbi bini, "lion''s blood means the liquid from the heart of the tamarisk", both give synonyms and equivalent foreign names for plants, herbs and wood, as well as for other ingredients ancient medical practitioners used to effect cures. This first volume, about both series, focuses on the cuneiform tablets on which the texts were written, from the British Museum, London, the Vorderasiatisches Museum, Berlin, and the Oriental Institute, Chicago. New hand copies and sketches show the physical and non-physical joins. Viewing the tablets as archaeological objects, the author provides numerous observations about format, shape, colour, ''firing holes'', worm holes and trace fossils. The ways scribes marked out their tablets with horizontal lines (sometimes doubled) to separate entries or paragraphs or provide ruled tablets are described; vertical rulings defined the left edge and column divisions (sometimes replaced by a glossenkeil). Areas reserved for writing, layout, slanted lines of writing, alignment and indentation of paragraphs, line spacing and ductus (especially changes from middle to neo-assyrian) are carefully examined. The last chapter concentrates on scribal corrections and various correction marks, line markers and supplementary glosses. Such features illuminate the personal preferences and professional experience of the frequently anonymous scribes behind the tablets.
