Women in Western and Eastern Manichaeism : Selected Papers from the International Conference Les femmes dans le manichéisme occidental et oriental held in Paris, University of Paris Sorbonne, 27-28 June...
:
The exceptional place women held in Manichaeism, in everyday life or myth, is the object of this book. Relying on firsthand Manichaean texts in several languages and on polemical sources, as well as on iconography, the various papers analyze aspects of women's social engagement by spreading Mani's doctrine, working to support the community, or corresponding with other Manichaean groups. Topics such as women's relation to the body and elect or hearer status are also investigated. The major role played by female entities in the myth is enlightened through occidental and oriental texts and paintings discovered in Central Asia and China.

Gregory of Nyssa: Homilies on the Our Father. An English Translation with Commentary and Supporting Studies : Proceedings of the 14th International Colloquium on Gregory of Nyssa (Paris, 4-7 September 2018) /
:
Gregory of Nyssa's Homilies on the Our Father are the second explanation of this central prayer of Christian worship in Greek Antiquity. Composed at the end of the 4th century, these five homilies offer a spiritual and pastoral commentary of the Pater Noster. The present volume, edited by Matthieu Cassin (Paris), Hélène Grelier-Deneux (Paris) and Françoise Vinel (Strasbourg), offers introductory materials, a new English translation, the first edition of the 15th century Latin translation by Athanasios Chalkeopoulos, together with five studies that form a commentary for the different homilies, and nineteen shorter contributions on various aspects of the text. The contributors envisage the text according to exegesis and theology, but also to philosophy, rhetoric and history of Christian communities.

Classical Arabic humanities in their own terms : festschrift for Wolfhart Heinrichs on his 65th birthday /
:
The volume brings together approaches to different elements of Arabic-Islamic civilization, mainly in the areas of linguistics, literature, literary theory, and prosody, but also including religion, ritual, economics, and zoology. Contributions also touch upon the adjacent areas of the Old Iranian, Persian, Greek and Byzantine written traditions. Some take as their points of departure specific Arabic words (cat, giraffe) or morphemes; others explore literary genres, subgenres (oration, ode, macaronic poem, travel narrative) or figures within them (the trickster, the devil). Cultural concepts such as wishing, gift-giving or discourse are treated, as are aspects of broader phenomena, such as the role of gender in dream interpretation or the relative merits of luxury goods and mass-produced commodities.

Voyager d'Égypte vers l'Europe et inversement : parcours croisés (1830-1950) /
:
"Contre un préjugé largement établi qui tend à récuser l'existence de tout occidentalisme face à un orientalisme triomphant, ce collectif met en lumière un ensemble de voyages en Europe rédigés par des intellectuels de la Renaissance arabe. De ces récits, il se dégage une curiosité multiforme à l'égard de la civilisation occidentale, mais aussi un discours de savoir dont on tente ici de cerner les enjeux. La seconde visée de ce collectif est de faire entrer en résonance ces textes encore peu connus avec des relations de voyage en sens inverse - vers l'Égypte, vers l'Orient -, revisitées pour l'occasion. Le tout à la lumière d'une réflexion plus générale sur les récents acquis de la littérature viatique."--Page 4 of cover.

Emperors and historiography : collected essays on the literature of the Roman Empire by Daniël den Hengst /
:
In this collection of essays Roman historical and biographical texts are studied from a literary point of view. The main interest of the author, Daniël den Hengst, professor emeritus of Latin at the University of Amsterdam, concerns the development of Roman historiography, the ways in which Roman historians present their work and the intertextual relations between these works and other literary genres. Special attention is given to the Historia Augusta and Ammianus Marcellinus, but also authors from the classical period, such as Cicero, Livy and Suetonius and their ideas about historiography are discussed. The articles demonstrate that a detailed interpretation of these texts in the original language is indispensable to understanding the aims and methods of ancient historians and biographers.

Chantiers Régine Robin : Interprétations de l'auteure à l'oeuvre /
:
Régine Robin (1939-2021) fut une intellectuelle hors norme. Historienne et sociologue, philosophe et romancière, linguiste et traductrice du yiddish, elle est l'anthropologue des non-lieux. Sans cesse, elle explora d'horizons divers, arpentant des territoires novateurs. Riche de ses exils, des « pays de la mort » jusqu'au Québec et New York, Robin creusa des pistes dans ses ruines personnelles, posant les fondations d'une nouvelle écriture de la Shoah, sans jamais céder à L'Immense Fatigue des pierres . Son œuvre protéiforme, chantier à vif resté inachevé, est traversée de problématiques identitaires, à la lisière de la déconstruction et en dialogue avec les arts et pratiques mémorielles. Précurseure aussi de l'ère digitale, son "work in progress" est source d'inspiration pour ses contemporains. Régine Robin (1939-2021) was an extraordinary intellectual. A historian and sociologist, philosopher and novelist, linguist and translator of Yiddish, she was the anthropologist of non-places. Continuously, she explored diverse horizons, navigating innovative territories. Enriched by her exiles, from the "lands of death" to Quebec and New York, Robin delved into paths within her personal ruins, laying the foundations for a new writing of the Shoah, without ever yielding to L'Immense Fatigue des pierres . . Her multifaceted work, an unfinished raw project, is imbued with identity issues, on the edge of deconstruction, and in dialogue with the arts and memory practices. A forerunner of the digital age, her "work in progress" continues to inspire her contemporaries.

Manifestations de la révolte dans le romanesque français du second XIXe siècle /
:
Bâti autour de quatre axes - Bâtir un monde. Utopies ; Positionnements et personnages ; Condition humaine et révoltes ; Être réfractaire - visant à proposer aux lecteurs des approches différentes et des corpus parfois méconnus, cet ouvrage consacré au roman cherche à apporter un éclairage novateur sur la question de la révolte chez des auteurs français du second dix-neuvième siècle. Dans ses manifestations diverses, voire insoupçonnées, la révolte est à la fois un motif récurrent, un moyen d'interroger le rapport au roman et une occasion de mettre en œuvre un style révolté. Dans ce volume, le lecteur pourra ainsi (re)découvrir certaines œuvres. Source utile de savoir pour le public universitaire, ce livre pourra également intéresser tout lecteur désireux de (re)lire des romans sous l'angle, parfois inattendu, de la révolte. Built around four axes - Building a world. Utopias ; Positioning and Characters ; The Human Condition and Revolts ; Being Refractory - aimed at offering readers different approaches and, at times, relatively unknown collections of works, this novel-centred publication seeks to shed new light on the question of revolt among French authors of the second half of the nineteenth century. In its diverse, even unsuspected manifestations, revolt is simultaneously a recurring motif, a means of questioning the relationship to the novel and an opportunity to adopt a rebellious style. This volume offers readers a chance to (re)discover some of these works. A useful source of knowledge for academics, this book will also be of interest to any reader wishing to (re)read novels from the sometimes unexpected angle of revolt.

The Patristic Text in the Confessional Age (16th-17th centuries) : Erudition, Theology, Censorship /
:
This volume follows the paradoxical trajectory of patristic studies in early modern Europe, from their full confessionalization in the mid-16th century to the emergence of 'fringe patristics' within minority groups in the early 18th century. The appeal to the Fathers, which was meant to buttress established orthodoxies, powerfully contributed to their dissolution in the internal strifes of 17th-century churches, especially on grace and predestination. An ample English introduction, with very rich notes, surveys the flourishing field of patristic reception and advocates for a historical, rather than theological or literary, approach.

Reading Proclus and the Book of causes : Western scholarly networks and debates /
:
Reading Proclus and the Book of Causes, published in three volumes, is a fresh, comprehensive understanding of Proclus' legacy in the Hellenic, Byzantine, Islamic, Latin and Hebrew traditions. The history of the Book of Causes, an Islamic adaptation of mainly Proclus' Elements of Theology and Plotinus' Enneads , is reconsidered on the basis of newly discovered manuscripts. This first volume enriches our understanding of the diverse reception of Proclus' Elements of Theology and of the Book of Causes in the Western tradition where universities and religious schools offered unparalleled conditions of diffusion. The volume sheds light on overlooked authors, texts, literary genres and libraries from all major European universities from the 12th to the 16th centuries.
