La Ciotat in the Age of Steam (1836-1916) : The Messageries Maritimes and the Making of an Industrial Maritime Society /
:
La Ciotat, a small port-town in the French Mediterranean, underwent a profound metamorphosis during the nineteenth century. Once a small maritime community, it was transformed into the technical base and shipbuilding centre of the Compagnie des Messageries maritimes , France's largest steam navigation company. This book charts the journey of a maritime society through its industrial grown and discovers its economic, demographic, labour, and social changes. Drawing on unpublished archival material, it explores how technological changes and the dominance of a single private shipping company reshaped the town's identity and redefined its relationship with the sea.

Tradition and transformation : Egypt under Roman rule : proceedings of the international conference, Hildesheim, Roemer- and Pelizaeus-Museum, 3-6 July 2008 /
:
In 30 BCE, Egypt became a province of the Roman empire. Alongside unbroken traditions-especially of the indigenous Egyptian population, but also among the Greek elite-major changes and slow processes of transformation can be observed. The multi-ethnical population was situated between new patterns of rule and traditional lifeways. This tension between change and permanence was investigated during the conference. The last decades have seen an increase in the interest in Roman Egypt with new research from different disciplines-Egyptology, Ancient History, Classical Archaeology, Epigraphy, and Papyrology-providing new insights into the written and archaeological sources, especially into settlement archaeology. Well-known scholars analysed the Egyptian temples, the structure and development of the administration beside archaeological, papyrological, art-historical and cult related questions.

Une entreprise de légitimation de la grammaire arabe: : Les Ḫaṣāʾiṣ d'Ibn Ǧinnī /
:
The language of Ḫaṣāʾiṣ is reputed to be difficult to access, and the thought of its author relatively opaque. With this book, readers now have a key to penetrate the linguistic thought of one of the most important grammarians in the Arabic grammatical tradition. It shows how Ibn Ǧinnī used the concepts of the episteme of his time to systematize grammatical explanatory reasoning. On reading this book, the reader will also perceive the importance attached by Ibn Ǧinnī to the role played by the speaker in language change, in that the speaker is seen as the true agent (ʿāmil) of his discourse. This work also offers the reader a broader perspective on Ibn Ǧinnī's relationship with the grammatical tradition, as it shows, for example, that most of Ibn Ǧinnī's diachronic reflections are borrowed from one of Sībawayhi's forgotten disciples (180/796): al-Aḫfaš al-Awsaṭ (215/830).

L'Empire islamique : VIIe-XIe siècle /
:
"L'histoire des cinq siècles de l'Empire islamique, de la mort du Prophète en 632 à l'éviction des Arabes des structures de pouvoir et à l'émergence des sultanats turcs au XIe siècle, en passant par les conquêtes, la mise en place du califat, l'éclosion et la chute des dynasties abbasside, omeyyade ou fatimide, tel est le propos de Gabriel Martinez-Gros. Mais pour éviter le biais d'une histoire de l'Islam vue d'Occident - ou l'essor de l'un est inévitablement le déclin de l'autre - l'auteur convoque les quelques rares voix qui nous parviennent encore du fond de l'histoire islamique. Ces voix, ce sont celles des historiens arabes médiévaux, dont Ibn Khaldûn. Ainsi émerge une tout autre perception de l'Empire islamique, où les dynasties se consolident dans la première génération de leur existence, atteignent leur floraison dans la deuxième, vieillissent et agonisent dans la dernière. C'est donc à une triple réflexion que nous invite ce livre admirable et singulier : d'abord sur l'histoire de l'Islam médiéval, ensuite sur la dynamique impériale, enfin sur l'écriture de l'histoire."--Page 4 of cover.
