The coins of Herod : a modern analysis and die classification /
:
Herod, ruler of Judea at a pivotal time (40-4 BCE) in the region's history, was Rome's most famous client king. In this volume, Herod's coinage benefits from a comprehensive reappraisal. The coins and dies have been thoroughly examined, resulting in innovative iconographic and technological interpretations. Study of the coins' presence in hoards, their archaeological contexts and geographical distribution, together with other typological, epigraphic and numismatic observations, have aided in establishing that all of the types were minted in Jerusalem. A new relative chronology of Herod's dated and undated coins is the most important by-product of this study. Finally, an attempt is made to peg this seriation to known events within the king's reign.

The coinage of Herod Antipas : a study and die classification of the earliest coins of Galilee /
:
The Coinage of Herod Antipas provides a comprehensive, multifaceted and up-to-date re-examination of the coins of Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee and Peraea between 4/3 BCE and 39/40 CE. Kogon and Fontanille classify about 800 coins by obverse and reverse dies. From this die classification they generate, for the first time ever for this tetrarch, about 300 composite die images. In addition, the authors examine both technical aspects of the coins (e.g. metrology, mint output) and non-technical aspects (e.g. inscriptions, iconography). They also review the geographic distribution of provenanced coins. Through this analysis of the coins of Herod Antipas, Kogon and Fontanille provide a greater understanding of the Sitz im Leben of first century Galilee.

Farāmarz, the Sistāni Hero : Texts and Traditions of the Farāmarznāme and the Persian Epic Cycle.
:
In Farāmarz, the Sistāni Hero Marjolijn van Zutphen discusses the manuscripts, storylines and main themes of the shorter and the longer Farāmarznāme (c. 1100), in relation to Ferdowsi's Shāhnāme and several other later maṡnawis about the warriors from Sistān (the Persian Epic Cycle). Farāmarz, a secondary figure of the Shāhnāme , gained importance in later epic traditions and as the invincible protagonist of both Farāmarznāmes reached a status that equalled, if not surpassed, that of his famous father Rostam. Van Zutphen further shows how Farāmarz displays parallels to the fictional figures of Garshāsp (his ancestor) and Eskandar and argues that some story elements of Farāmarz's Indian conquest may be rooted in historical events from both the Parthian and the Ghaznawid period.

Voies vers l'autre : Dupin - Bonnefoy - Noël - Guillevic /
:
Si la poésie contemporaine continue à sonder ses propres carences, à creuser sans répit tout ce qui se prolonge en elle comme absence et manque, ses humbles conquêtes ne s'affir-ment le plus souvent qu'au moment d'une immense dissolution qui oppose à tout geste d'appropriation définitive une communion fuyante, ouverte et vitale. Dans la trame déliée de l'écriture se dessine non point l'image achevée, le reflet immobilisé de l'autre, mais quelques traces de son bref, de son infixable passage qui rejoint dans le monde la sombre vérité, l'en aller irrévocable, de toute existence mortelle. Voie vers l'autre, la poésie demeure de nos jours voie terrestre, voie incertaine, qui arrache l'être à la fixité et aux fixations du moi pour qu'il s'atteigne, sans cesse refait, dans la précarité immédiate de ce qui surgit, s'offre et s'efface. Notre étude interroge les œuvres de quatre poètes qui avancent courageusement dans cette voie, qui mesurent entre soi et l'autre, signe et présence, idée et monde, non seulement ruptures et écarts, mais l'espace tremblant d'un entre-deux susceptible de se muer subitement et comme inauguralement en cri et accès.
