Modern historians have generally approached the study of medieval society through chronicles, charters, and other documents composed in Latin by members of the clergy. Although these records may be satisfactory for studying the affairs of ecclesiastics, kings, and high barons, they are inadequate for assessing the major preoccupations of the aristocracy-living extravagantly, fighting, making love, entertaining, eating and dressing ostentatiously, and, generally, earning the disapproval of the clergy. In Aristocratic Life in Medieval France, the respected medieval scholar John Baldwin undertakes a study of this segment of society using, for the first time in nearly a century, the vernacular romances written exclusively for the amusement of aristocratic audiences. Rather than attempting to encompass all of Middle Age Europe, this study selects two writers, Jean Renart and Gerbert de Montreuil, and their four romances. It focuses with depth and specificity on the discrete area of northern France during a precise period, 1190-1230. Since Jean and Gerbert framed their fictional stories with contemporary and realistic features that could be recognized by their audiences, their works provide a wealth of detail on aristocratic living. Employing such literary techniques as "reality effects" and "horizons of expectations," Baldwin successfully discerns the historical content in these romance narratives.

Ce livre propose une nouvelle édition critique, accompagnée d'une introduction et d'une traduction, du Libellus de duodecim Herculis laboribus du savant byzantin Jean Pédiasimos (ca. 1250-1310/1314). Cet essai sur les douze travaux d'Héraclès est d'une grande valeur parce qu'il semble être un des seuls exemples byzantins de ce qu'on entend par mythographie. Cette nouvelle édition implique un progrès considérable vis-à-vis la dernière édition de la main de Richard Wagner (datant de 1894) vu qu'elle rend compte de pas moins de 37 témoins. En plus, elle est précédée d'une introduction traitant la biographie complexe de Pédiasimos, le genre du texte et son rapport avec d'autres textes mythographiques, et les manuscrits et leur relation. Le texte grec est accompagné d'une traduction en français afin de faciliter la lecture.

Le Livre des secrets de Jean a recu, a juste titre, le nom de A" Bible gnostique A". C'est en effet dans ce traite que nous a ete conservee la version la plus complete du mythe auquel se referaient les gnostiques qui faisaient de Seth, troisieme fils d'Adam, leur ancetre. L'auteur y presente une synthese de l'histoire universelle. On assiste d'abord a la constitution d'un modele celeste concu a partir d'une Premiere Pensee du Grand Esprit invisible, Pensee qui se multiplie jusqu'a produire un modele parfait constitue de vingt-deux eons, dont le dernier est Sophia, la Sagesse. Mais celle-ci ne pourra resister au desir de construire ce modele au-dela du nombre parfait et donnera naissance a un 23e eon, celui de l'Archonte. Exclu du modele mais en gardant le souvenir, l'Archonte en construira une contrefacon, notre monde, dans lequel il manifestera cette part de connaissance dont il a depossede sa Mere. Toute l'histoire de l'humanite, de la creation d'Adam au retour annonce de Seth a la fin des temps, doit alors etre interpretee comme une guerre de liberation de cette connaissance prisonniere, une guerre dont les hommes, partages en deux camps, seraient a la fois les victimes et les acteurs. Au moment oA' l'auteur ecrit, rien n'est joue, la domination de l'Archonte est encore universelle, mais grace a la revelation du A" Livre des secrets A", l'humanite dispose enfin de cette connaissance qui permettra a ceux qui appartiennent a la semence de Seth de trouver le chemin du retour vers ce monde intelligible auquel ils appartiennent. Cette version du mythe sethien, composee au cours du second siecle de notre ere, nous est parvenue sous deux formes dont la plus longue a retenu l'attention des commentateurs du fait de ses affinites avec l'Evangile de Jean. Celle qui est publiee et commentee dans ce volume, la plus breve et la plus ancienne, n'a ete christianisee que superficiellement et conserve encore intacte une version du mythe sethien qui se presente, pour l'essentiel, comme une interpretation du modele biblique hebreu faite en fonction des regles de l'hermeneutique juive de la periode du Second Temple. Un document precieux pour notre connaissance des origines juives du mouvement gnostique.

In 1906, two years after the appearance of her best-known novel, The Imperialist, Duncan published its darker twin, an Anglo-Indian novel which returns to political themes but with a deeper and more clinical irony than in her previous work. Set in Authority is about illusions: the imperial illusions of those who rule and are ruled; the illusions of families about their members; the illusions of men and women about each other. The setting moves between the political drawing rooms of London and the English station at Pilaghur in the province of Ghoom, where the murder of a native by an English soldier changes the lives of a cast of ruthlessly observed characters.Duncan, who grew up in Ontario, led a remarkably varied life, working as a political correspondent (writing for the Washington Post, the Toronto Globe and the Montreal Star) and living in India for over twenty years. She is increasingly being regarded as deserving of a place among the first rank of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century novelists; the re-publication of Set in Authority will do nothing to dispel that view.

The object of this work is the interdisciplinary dialogue between natural sciences and Christian theology. It studies the theological, epistemological and semantic conditions that make possible an articulation between scientific worldviews and theological discourses. Based on some theological and epistemological conditions, this work proposes a theological method that articulates scientific worldviews into systematic theology through the mediation of philosophy. The method seeks two objectives: (a) that theology remains in its epistemological boundaries and (b) to respect the autonomy of natural sciences. Finally, the proposed theological method is applied to three examples in dialogue with natural sciences: (i) creation, (ii) human action and (iii) a spiritual contemplation of God’s presence in the world. This book follows the contributions of two major scholars of the Twentieth Century: Jean Ladrière and Xavier Zubiri. Our considerations are based on the scholars’ analyses of the plurality of epistemologies and their analyses of the intellectual act.
