‎Grace a une convention passee entre le Matenadaran d?Erevan et l?Universite d?Aix-Marseille 1, R. Varteni Chetanian a pu etablir le catalogue des manuscrits grecs et des fragments grecs presents au sein des manuscrits armeniens conserves dans la prestigieuse bibliotheque de la capitale de l?Armenie. Au cours de ses sejours a Erevan, elle a sans cesse beneficie du soutien et des conseils des bibliothecaires. Je les remercie d?avoir rendu possible l?elaboration de cet instrument de travail. La presente publication permet de faire connaitre aux chercheurs du monde entier des documents precieux, mais insuffisamment pris en compte par les hellenistes et les armenisants. En particulier, il reste beaucoup a faire dans le domaine des traductions des textes litteraires grecs en armenien. Le Catalogue de R. Varteni Chetanian, qui a par ailleurs publie une remarquable etude sur la traduction armenienne des Homelies sur les Actes des apotres de Jean Chrysostome, donne un moyen nouveau de progresser dans ce champ de recherche. C?est dire que le present Catalogue ne doit pas etre envisage comme une fin ou une cloture. Il doit au contraire etre a l?origine d?autres travaux : travaux d?edition des plus importants textes grecs exhumes par R. Varteni Chetanian ; travaux de numerisation des fragments et des manuscrits, afin de rendre possible leur consultation a distance. Jalon pour l?avenir de la recherche historique et philologique, voila comment doit etre envisage ce Catalogue. Sa confection a ete l?occasion de tisser des liens scientifiques entre l?Armenie et la France. Puissent les travaux qu?il suscitera permettre de poursuivre dans la meme voie et d?approfondir le sillon ainsi trace.‎

In 1906 Rydberg stated for the first time (the paper offered) that 2, 8, and 18 (that is, 2n2, where n= 1,2,3) represented the number of elements in the early periods of the system.

‎Reamur's first zoological work, a pioneer-work in which he, as the first, describes the formation of the shells, and in which he proved that they grow not like the other parts of the animal body, by expansion, but by the external addition of new parts : he also assigned the cause of the variety of colour, figure, and magnitude which distinguishes one shell from another.""Réaumur’s first three communications to the Academy, on geometrical subjects, were presented in 1708 and 1709, and demonstrate a degree of mathematical sophistication worthy of a student of Varignon. Had Réaumur decided to remain a mathematician, he might well have been one of the greatest geometers of his age. In November 1709, however, he quite suddenly changed the course of his scientific career by reading a paper on the growth of animal shells. From then on, Réaumur’s work would be characterized by its extraordinary richness and diversity, but never again would he devote himself to the pure mathematical researches that had so fascinated him in his youth.""(DSB).""Réaumur was among the greatest naturalists of his or any age.

‎First appearance of this importent paper in which Reaumur reveled how he constructed his invention of the thermometer scale, the scale which bears his name. The construction of the thermometer was based on alchohol, and the scaling bases on 0 degree for the freezing point of water and 80 degree for the boiling point of water.""The one serious drawback to Réaumur’s thermometer was that different strengths of alcohol have different coefficients of dilation, so that while one type of alcohol might expand one degree after the application of a certain amount of heat, another might expand two degrees under the same conditions. It was vital that all thermometers scaled according to his system have the same grade of alcohol. Réaumur suggested that the alcohol used in his thermometers be of a type that would dilate 80 degrees - that is, 8 parts in 100 - between the temperature of ice and the temperature at which the alcohol began to boil in an open thermometer tube. Owing to an unfortunate confusion of language in his article on the thermometer, however, nearly everyone believed that 80° on his scale was the temperature of boiling water"" and as a result, when so-called Reaumer thermometers began to be made by the artisans of Paris, they were nearly all scaled linearly with respect to two fiducial points, 0° for ice and 80° for boiling water.""

HERTZ'S paper: This is a major paper by Hertz in which he gives simple proofs of Maxwell's fundamental equations. ""In 1884, at Kiel, Hertz had already carried out a study of Maxwell's theory. It was a theoretical response to Helmholtz' general problem of deciding between the electrodynamical theories. Whereas Helmholtz had shown that the experimental decision lay with unclosed currents, Hertz showed that a theoretical decision could be made on the basis of predictions for closed currents. Hertz proved that Maxwell's equations were compatible with the physical assumptions shared by all electrodynamical theories and that the equations of the contending theories were not. He concluded that if the choice lay solely between Maxwell's equations and the equations of the other type of theory, then Maxwell's were clearly preferable.""

From these observations he estimated the figure of the earth.""An artillery officer, Sabine was a graduate of the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. While retaining his commission - Sabine eventually reached the rank of general - the started scientific work at the close of the Napoleonic Wars. On the recommendation of the Royal Society, he accompanied John Ross on an expedition to seek the Northwest Passage in 1818 and was with William Edward Parry on his 1819-1820 Arctic expedition.

‎, Brepols, 2013 softcover approx. 400 p., 178 x 254 mm, Languages: English, French. Paperback. ISBN 9782503549170.‎

‎Publications of the Journal of Medieval Latin, A Sourcebook for appreciating the Bayeux Tapestry, its history and scholarship. The Bayeux Tapestry is a late eleventh-century embroidery, 68.5 metres/224 feet long, visualizing events leading up to the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and the subsequent Norman Conquest of England. In the past 300 years, since its rediscovery in Bayeux Cathedral, it has provided fertile ground for the musings, opinions, and investigations of antiquarians, scholars, novelists, journalists, and other interested parties. This volume reconstructs the often turbulent history of this remarkable work of art, and offers a critical analysis and annotated bibliography of the more than 1000 publications which have attempted to answer the many questions it has provoked. Discussions have focused on the origin of the Tapestry ? workshop location, patronage, artistic sources, dating, and purpose. The narrative has been interpreted as Norman propaganda by some, as English propaganda by others. Its legitimacy as an historical document has been evaluated, often with contradictory conclusions, and attention has been drawn to its value as a reflection of contemporary life and customs. The Latin inscriptions have been analysed and shown to exhibit both English and French characteristics. Links have been proposed with English and French epic poetry, while recent scholarship has brought literary and communication theories into discussions. Its numerous reproductions, facsimiles, and ?spinoffs? attest efforts to make it known to a greater audience, while emphasizing its relevance for modern viewers. It has become the world's most famous textile.‎
