La premiere partie de ce livre consiste en l'edition d'un manuscrit du missionnaire dominicain, le P. Jacques Rhetore, mort a Mossoul en 1921. Il s'agit d'un traite de poetique en soureth, c'est-a-dire en l'arameen vernaculaire encore parle de nos jours par les chretiens du nord de la Mesopotamie : ce n'est pas seulement un ouvrage d'erudition, mais aussi un manuel pratique devant assister les missionnaires ayant appris le soureth dans la composition d'hymnes et de cantiques utiles a leur ministere. Et en effet le P. Rhetore est lui-meme auteur d'une ouvre abondante de ce type, qu'il signait du pseudonyme de Jacques l'Etranger. La deuxieme partie contient les notes de l'editeur (Bruno Poizat), en particulier sur la provenance des exemples cites dans le texte, sur ce qu'on sait par ailleurs des auteurs mentionnes par le P. Rhetore, sur les editions savantes dont leurs compositions ont fait l'objet, ainsi que sur les diverses collections de manuscrits ou on peut trouver des poesies en soureth. L'edition de ce traite est un utile complement aux deux volumes de poesies en soureth publies dernierement par Alessandro Mengozzi dans le CSCO (589-590 et 627-628).

The present study proposes a challenging new chronological framework for the Herodian age, a critical period in Jewish history. Not only do the rules of Herod the Great and his sons receive altered time settings, but the birth and death of Jesus are also placed several years later than is generally accepted. As a consequence of this the dates of Paul's apostolate are reexamined. Ostensibly narrow in scope, these modifications entail far-reaching implications for our understanding of the Syro-Palestinian region at the beginning of the present era. Interconnections between numerous events are established and tensions within and between the Herodian and Hasmonean dynasties are laid bare. It is shown that Roman impact on the East was substantial, with a strong Hellenistic influence exerted on local cultures. Several customs of the Jewish and early Christian communities, hitherto unknown, are also brought to light. Both in its details and in its overall sweep this important work sets up a stimulating reference point for future historical investigations of the Herodian and New Testament worlds.

Platon condamnait Homere pour avoir ose parler du "rire inextinguible des dieux". Au-dela de la reprobation morale de la raillerie, il devait bien avoir percu dans le rire une puissance d'exces capable d'ebranler la serenite du sage. Les modernes, philosophes (Descartes, Schopenhauer, Kant) et - davantage encore - psychanalystes (Freud, Lacan), ont traque dans l'esprit meme les sources de cette puissance transgressive. Mais le rire comme tel leur est reste une enigme. Pourtant, a suivre l'entrecroisement de leurs explications, il est possible d'approcher le mystere de cette voix "inarticulee et eclatante" qui s'exalte dans le rire et que Nietzsche, Baudelaire et, surtout, Bataille ont reconnu comme la part essentielle de ce que l'homme y joue de son etre meme.

Layton's "Coptic Gnostic Chrestomathy" is an essential tool for scholars and students of the Gnostic corpus. This useful and accurate text edition contains a large, representative selection of works in Coptic, ranging from Sethian Gnostic classics such as the "Apocryphon of John" to Valentinian works like the "Gospel of Truth" and "Gospel of Philip" to the Mesopotamian "Gospel of Thomas the Contender", all but one from the Nag Hammadi manuscript hoard. Laid out in a readable literary format, the Coptic text is discreetly analyzed into its component morphs, clarifying the grammatical structure at every point. Greek words are annotated in footnotes, and esoteric Gnostic vocabulary in Egyptian Coptic is covered in a separate glossary. A brief introduction to each work points to information on problems of dialect, grammar, manuscript, and scholarly bibliography. Prepared by a leading expert on Gnosticism and the Coptic language, this is the ideal Gnostic text collection, in a single volume, for the use of scholars of religion, Egyptologists, Coptologists, teachers, and students. Contents (in Coptic): Apocryphon of John, Apocalypse of Adam, Hypostasis of the Archons, Thunder-Perfect Mind, Trimorphic Protennoia, Gospel of the Egyptians, Zostrianos, Allogenes, Three Steles of Seth, Gospel of Truth, Prayer of the Apostle Paul, Treatise on Resurrection, Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Thomas, Book of Thomas the Contender. Corresponding English translations of all these works can be found in Bentley Layton, "The Gnostic Scriptures".

La pratique des linguistes africanistes fait qu'ils sont necessairement aux problemes qui surgissent des rapports entre structure grammaticale, structure syntaxique, et organisation discursive. Les langues d'Afrique subsaharienne ont au moins en commun d'etre depourvues d'ecriture et de tradition grammaticale, et, une fois depasse le stade des questionnaires d'enquete lexicale, morphologique et syntaxique qui generalement se limitent a la phrase simple, une des missions des linguistes est de recueillir, transcrire et traduire des textes de tradition orale (contes, chroniques, recits historiques, epopees, etc.). La se posent concretement le probleme de la ponctuation. La ponctuation est en fait la manifestation des decisions du linguiste concernant, enter autres:- la delimitation des enonces;- l'apparition d'unites linguistiques qui, au-dela des hesitations, repetitions, ruptures de syntaxe, echappent a l'analyse en fonctions syntaxiques (predicat, sujet, complement);- l'articulations entre discours et syntaxe;- l'ordre des mots (linearisation) et la structure des enonces (hierarchie).Depuis cinq ans, le groupe " Hierarchie et linearisation" du Llacan (UMR Langage, Langues et Cultures d'Afrique Noire) etudie, dans le cadre de la theorie de l'enonciation, les phenomenes de focalisation et topicalisation dans les langues africaines, en mettant en avant le role essentiel des concepts d'assertion et de preconstruit. L'ouvrage commence par un article de synthese qui fait le point sur les concepts de la linguistique de l'enonciation en syntaxe, puis cerne la specificite du traitement de la focalisation et topicalisastion dans les langues africaines. Cette partie souligne, grace a la grande diversite, tant typologique que genetique, des langues representees dans notre groupe de travail, que les langues d'Afrique sont un lieu de grande variation, mais revelent egalement des regularites d'ordre areal, qui coupent au travers des familles linguistiques. Si la topicalisation revele une grande homogeneite, fondee sur la partie lineaire du langage, la focalisation, du fait de sa complexite fonctionnelle, est un lieu de grande variabilite, qui ne recoupe pas les familles genetiques.La suite de l'ouvrage presente une serie d'etudes de cas de langues africaines. Les langues representees sont parlees dans l'ensemble de l'Afrique subsaharienne : Guinee Bissau, Senegal, Burkina-Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Tchad, Cameroun, Republique Centrafricaine, Afrique de l'Est (Erythree, Ethiopie, Djiboutie). Elles representent diverses familles: langues atlantiques: bijogo, peul, wolof; couchitiques: afar; tchadiques: haoussa; gur: dagara et moore; Benoue-Congo: ikwere (langue igboide); Adamawa: tupuri; oubanguiennes: banda-linda, gbaya. L'interet de ces etudes tient au fait que leurs auteurs font appel a une profonde connaissance de premiere main, resultat d'une longue familiarite avec les langues qu'ils decrivent. Ils s'appuient dans ces presentations sur l'analyse minitieuse de corpus de langue orale. Toutes ont en commun, au-dela de la prise en compte des phenomenes de structure generalement privilegies dans les etudes typologiques, de mettre en avant une etude des valeurs d'emploi, contextualisees, des phenomenes de la topicalisation et de la focalisation.
