Augustin stand vor dem Problem, die christliche Lehre zu verkÃ"nden und zu rechtfertigen, ohne dass zu diesem Zweck ein spezifisch christliches literarisches System bereitgestanden hätte. Der Kirchenvater befand sich in dem Dilemma, die ihm vertrauten traditionellen Formen benutzen zu mÃ"ssen, es als Christ eigentlich aber nicht zu dÃ"rfen. Die vorliegende Studie behandelt ausgewählte Werke, Briefe und Predigten, die auf die Position untersucht werden, die Augustin im Umgang mit der heidnisch-antiken Kulturtradition des lateinischen Westens und der christlichen Lebens- und Gedankenwelt eingenommen hat. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass der Kirchenvater nicht, wie häufig behauptet, nur einer der beiden Bildungswelten zugeordnet werden kann.

In April 2010, scholars of Assyriology and Biblical Studies at the Collège de France, Paris, gathered for a colloquium to discuss the archaeological and textual evidence for the ways in which ancient Near Eastern societies dealt with their dead. How did these societies view the "afterlife", and what kind of relationship did they have with those who lived before them?For the cuneiform documentation, this raises, for example, the question of how the living commemorated their deceased, particularly by means of the kispum funerary rite whose specific practice and meaning remain to be explored. The distance between the two traditions most strongly represented at this colloquium, the Akkadian and the biblical tradition, is clearly reflected in the repugnance displayed by normative Hebrew sources towards the mortal remains of the body. In Hebrew thought, as it is presented in some biblical texts, death and the deceased are associated with the idea of impurity, while other texts reveal the desire and attempt to establish contact with the world of the dead. Furthermore, Hebrew sources exhibit a biased discourse on traditions relevant to the death and burial of their kings.Certain traditions, of both cuneiform and biblical origin, bear testimony to the idea that human remains, particularly the bones, can retain remnants of the living being after death.The fascinating topic of necromancy, the possibility of communicating with the deceased, is represented here in biblical and Ugaritic sources which also attest the practice of burying the dead in residential houses.

Visual artist Laura de Coninck expresses in images what her father - the unforgettable poet Herman de Coninck - captured in words. That is no mean feat, because both seek to convey a feeling, want to say the unsayable. You don't have to stay silent about things you can't say. You can and you must talk about them, and Laura de Coninck does that with verve. Saudade is the untranslatable Portuguese word for a feeling of longing, which has Passion as its brother, Sorrow as its sister and Nostalgia as a parent. Laura loves words in general and this word in particular. We all have a rich emotional life, we all often feel emotions keenly and we are all familiar with a hopeless inability to put those emotions into words. Laura expresses herself in images, in pictures that tell stories about power and powerlessness, about strength and about the fragility of love. The emotional worlds her father could evoke with the right words, expressed in his own unique way, are evoked by Laura with equal authenticity in a sober interplay of line, image, ink and paper.

The international conference organized by the College of France on April 6-7, 2009, addressed a major theme within Near Eastern ideology: the "Young Hero." Different from those "elders" who were given power by traditionalistic Near Eastern civilizations and whose anthroponymy proudly underlined their eldership, the young hero nonetheless succeeds most of the time, or at least for a time, through his personal gifts as much as the inconstancy of gods who do not always favor the same men. Illustrations are multiform. We chose to show that the theme's typology matched precise criteria within time periods. Over a millennium and a half, each of the different ways of apprehending this figure corresponds to a specific attestation type. It was not possible, even at a regional level, to establish a complete "young hero" typology. Various forms pertaining to romanced myth, most often through epic form, but also to historical discourse, have been studied by our contributors.After a general introduction, the first part deals with historical and literary accounts of the young hero's (un)successful rise to kingship: Samsî-Ãrah, Idrimi, David, Saul and Esarhaddon. The authors then find a section on non-royal young heroes yet depicted by means of royal categories: Samson, Moses and Daniel. Two contributions on Athaliah and Esther deal with the theme of feminine heroism, and a last section focuses on heroic friendships: GilgameÅ and Enkidu, David and Jonathan, Achilles and Patroclus.

Même remarque pour la prononciation : rien qui n offense un gosier francophone. Il ne s agit en somme que de réorganiser les séquences de mots et les suites de sons ; ce n est pas la mer de Chine á boire ni celle du Japon, que les Sud-Coréens préfèrent appeler mer de l Est !Le CD mp3 permet d'écouter toute la partie "conversation"; ainsi que le contenu des rabats de ce guide. Vous pourrez ainsi l'utiliser en toute autonomie lors de vos déplacements

Plusieurs tombes thebaines du XVe s. montrent des Minoens apportant leurs "hommages" a la cour du pharaon. Dans deux d'entre elles, ces Minoens viennent des "iles au milieu du Grand Vert". On considere generalement que ces "iles" se trouvent en Mer Egee et que le "Grand Vert" renvoie a la Mediterranee. Le livre que voici reetudie toute cette question. L'examen soigneux des donnees egyptiennes montre que le "Grand Vert" ne se refere incontestablement a la Mediterranee que dans un seul texte tardif (196 A.C.). Auparavant, le "Grand Vert" designe toujours, sans exception, le Nil, sa vallee et son Delta, ou bien la Mer Rouge. Or, les textes egyptiens localisent explicitement les "iles au milieu du Grand Vert" au coeur meme du Delta. Des Minoens devaient donc tres probablement etre installes en Egypte meme. Cette conclusion est-elle compatible avec les donnees archeologiques ou historiques minoennes et egyptiennes? Comment expliquer l'installation minoenne en Egypte? Quand la situer? Pourquoi a-t-elle pris fin? A cause des Myceniens? Telles sont quelques-unes des questions abordees dans cet ouvrage qui jette un jour nouveau sur les relations entre l'Egee pregrecque et l'Egypte.
