Peeters Publishers Tropics of Travel 4. Homes: Proceedings of the International Conference Organized at the University of Liège (January 13-15, 2011)
This volume gathers together the proceedings of the conference which took place at the University of Liège from 13 to 15 January 2011. The conference was part of the project Tropics of Travel: Travel in Arabic Writings that took the form of four international symposia held in Venice (2007), Paris (2008), and London (2009). The Liège conference took the other destination of travel, home, as its subject and looked at ways in which travel may revise notions of self, community, and home, and inscribe significance of ontological and epistemological dimensions into the journey of homecoming. This volume includes nine articles that were selected from seventeen papers read at the conference.

Peeters Publishers The Mamluk Sultanate and its Periphery
This volume is the result of a selection of papers presented at the second conference of the School of Mamluk Studies (Liège, 2015) whose theme was 'The Mamluk Sultanate and Its Periphery'. It is well known that Mamluk studies suffer from a deficit of interest for the peripheral areas because of the centripetal effect played by the main cities of the sultanate, i.e. the political centers (Cairo and Damascus), where most of the historians whose works constitute the lion’s share of modern studies lived. Nevertheless, it is still possible to study aspects related to regions, cities, villages by resorting to these classical sources but also and above all to other types of sources (documents, archaeological excavations). Obviously, the concept of periphery can be interpreted in various ways. Above all, it is understood in geographic, political, or economic terms: the periphery is defined in relation to the center of power, whether central or local. It can also be interpreted in sociological and religious terms. In this case, the concept can be applied to practices or parts of the society considered borderline. The eight essays collected in this volume seek to explore this question of the periphery from these various angles.

Peeters Publishers Le Journal D'Antoine Galland (1646-1715): La Periode Parisienne. Volume I: 1708-1709
Si Antoine Galland (1646-1715) doit d'etre passe a la posterite a sa "traduction" des Mille et une nuits, il n'en etait pas moins avant tout un savant verse tant en numismatique qu'en orientalisme. Pour soutenir sa memoire, il prit note, des son adolescence, semble-t-il, mais peut-etre pas de maniere continue, des evenements du jour qui le concernaient de pres ou de loin. Ce journal, dont seuls quelques volumes nous sont parvenus, concerne deux periodes: les annees 1672-1673, epoque oA' il se trouvait a Constantinople, et les annees 1708-1715, annees qui correspondent a la fin de sa vie, lorsqu'il vivait a Paris. Cette derniere periode est indubitablement une des plus riches sur le plan professionnel puisqu'elle voit A. Galland acceder a la plus haute fonction qu'il pouvait esperer jamais atteindre: la chaire de langue arabe au College royal (1709). Le journal de ces annees constitue donc une source de premiere importance tant pour retracer les dernieres annees de la vie de ce savant digne representant de la Republique des Lettres, qui nous fait part consciencieusement du contenu des seances bi-hebdomadaires de la venerable Academie royale des inscriptions, que pour reconstruire son reseau de correspondants, d'amis, de collegues dans ce Siecle des Lumieres qui est en train de se dessiner. Le projet qui vise a publier de maniere critique l'integralite du Journal d'A. Galland se concretise avec la parution de cette premiere livraison qui contient les deux premieres annees de la periode parisienne (1708-1709). L'edition d'un texte aussi dense en informations ne pouvait qu'etre accompagnee d'une riche annotation due a des specialistes de chaque domaine concerne (litterature du XVIIIe s., Academie des inscriptions et belles-lettres, orientalisme, Mille et une nuits, antiquite classique, numismatique).
