Variation and change in Ancient Greek tense, aspect and modality /
:
In this collective volume edited by Klaas Bentein, Mark Janse, and Jorie Soltic, some of the leading experts in the field explore variation and change in one of the core areas of Ancient Greek grammar: tense, aspect, and modality. The contributors investigate key aspects such as the existence of and competition between linguistic variants, the value of modern linguistic theory for the study of linguistic variation, and the interplay between various dimensions of variation. They focus on various stages of the Greek language (Archaic, Classical, Post-classical, and Byzantine), taking both qualitative and quantitative approaches. By doing so, they offer valuable insights in the multi-faced nature of the Greek verbal system, providing an incentive towards the further study of linguistic variation and change.

Les mathématiques de l'Égypte ancienne : numération, métrologie, arithmétique, géométrie et autres problèmes /
:
"Les nombreux problèmes et extraits analysés relèvent du corpus mathématique de base datant du Moyen Empire, mais également de documents administratifs et de documents plus récents tels les papyri démotiques. Ce que ces textes nous enseignent dépasse parfois le cadre purement mathématique en donnant des indications sur les valeurs marchandes de produits ou services, les montants de certains salaires ou taxes, les prévisions d'un chantier, la construction d'éléments architecturaux, la gestion des récoltes et du bétail ou la fabrication de la bière" --

This volume examines the use of a central concept in the self-definition of any Greek speaking male: Andreia , the notion of courage and manliness.

This book is of interest to students of the classical world, the history of values, gender studies, and cultural historians.

Exercices d'histoire des religions : comparaison, rites, mythes, et emotions /
:
Exercices d'histoire des religions is a collection of the most important articles published by Philippe Borgeaud during his career as the professor of history of religions at the University of Geneva (Switzerland). These nineteen studies showcase the many reflections of the Swiss scholar of religion on the categories and tools used to describe and compare such evanescent concepts as "religions", "myths" and "rituals", and his methodology for a critical and comparative study of ancient and modern religions. Through them, readers will gain a clear understanding of the importance such an approach can wield in the contemporary discussions and dissents about religions. Exercices d'histoire des religions rassemble les articles les plus importants publiés par Philippe Borgeaud durant sa carrière en tant que professeur d'histoire des religions à l'Université de Genève. Ces dix-neuf enquêtes illustrent les réflexions du savant suisse sur les outils et catégories utilisés par l'historien des religions pour décrire et comparer des concepts aussi évanescents que les « religions », les « mythes » ou les « rituels », et sur le rôle joué par les émotions dans leur élaboration. À travers eux, le lecteur est amené à découvrir la méthode développée par Philippe Borgeaud pour étudier de manière critique et comparative les religions antiques et modernes, une approche sans doute fondamentale pour mieux saisir les discussions et controverses contemporaines sur ce sujet.
