Summary The Mediterranean has, for millennia, formed the heart of an intensive trading network of ideas, goods, and people. For the ancient populations of the Levant, Cyprus, and Southern Anatolia, interactions with the sea ? from fishing to seafaring, and from trade to dye production ? were a constant presence in their life. But how did the coastal peoples of the Bronze Age understand the sea? How did living on the shore influence their lives, from daily practices to mythological beliefs? And what was the impact on their conceptual world? This volume seeks to engage with these questions by addressing the relationship between environment, diet, material production, perception, and thought formation through a combination of archaeological analysis and engagement with primary sources, and in doing so, it offers unique insights into the conceptual world of the ancient Mediterranean maritime cultures of the 2nd millennium BCE.

Dans cette collection, le volume BA 61/A est le douzième d?une série consacrée aux Enarrationes in Psalmos d?Augustin. Ce projet de l?Institut d?Études Augustiniennes est aux mains d?une équipe dont les membres travaillent ensemble depuis une quinzaine d?années. Les Commentaires sur les Psaumes d?Augustin sont un ouvrage fondamental qui a été beaucoup lu à travers les siècles, comme l?atteste le nombre des manuscrits qui existent encore. Ils ne sont aujourd?hui accessibles en français que dans deux traductions du XIXe s. dont le style a vieilli et l?exactitude est parfois sujette à caution. Ces textes d?Augustin n?intéressent pas seulement les spécialistes du commentaire de texte et de l?exégèse biblique, mais aussi les philosophes, les théologiens et les historiens. Une grande partie de ces commentaires ayant été prêchés à des dates et dans des circonstances diverses, ils regorgent souvent de détails et de realia qui pourront être davantage exploités grâce à cette nouvelle édition mise à la disposition des chercheurs. Le volume 61/A de la Bibliothèque Augustinienne contient les commentaires des Psaumes 61 à 67. Le texte latin a été révisé à partir de l?édition donnée par E. Dekkers et J. Fraipont dans le CC SL 39, mais il a été systématiquement confronté à celui de l?édition critique procurée en 2020 par H. Müller (CSEL 94/1). La traduction de chaque sermon, entièrement nouvelle, est précédée d?une introduction, et de nombreuses notes de bas de page apportent des éclaircissements sur la pensée d?Augustin et mettent en relation le commentaire avec les autres ?uvres augustiniennes et d?autres commentaires antiques du Psaume.

Summary Réimpression de la première édition (2009). Travail commun de plusieurs spécialistes d?Augustin, le volume 57/A de la Bibliothèque Augustinienne renferme le texte latin (révisé en tenant compte du travail de Cl. Weidmann, CSEL 93/1A, Vienne 2003) et une traduction nouvelle des seize premières Enarrationes sur les Psaumes d?Augustin, qu?on s?est attaché à rendre la plus précise possible, notamment dans le traitement des lemmes bibliques. Il s?agit en effet de véritables commentaires bibliques, et non d?homélies. En plus d?une substantielle introduction générale aux 32 premières Enarrationes, dictées dans les années 394-395, chaque commentaire est doté d?une introduction spécifique, de nombreuses notes de bas de page et de soixante-quatre notes complémentaires visant à clarifier les points obscurs du texte et à mettre en relief l?intérêt du commentaire. Ce volume constitue un ouvrage de référence dont il n?existe pas d?équivalent pour les Enarrationes. TABLE OF CONTENTS Avant-propos (P.-M. Hombert) I. Introduction I.

Summary This volume is the result of a workshop organized in Leuven within the context of the Australian Catholic University-KU Leuven-Tilburg University project on Vatican II (1962-1965). This volume focuses on the preparatory period of the Council and its broader context, for many renewal movements were underway decades before the Council's opening. The preparation of the Council was also a period of intense consultation of bishops and male superiors of religious orders and congregations. Indeed, John XXIII aimed at introducing an aggiornamento in the Roman Catholic Church, taking into account the wishes and the needs of bishops and superiors. The volume presented here offers new insights about this period on the basis of archives and other materials insufficiently consulted to date. The papers presented are the result of research by both senior scholars and junior researchers. They focus on the following issues: revelation, ecclesiology, ecumenism, and education.

Summary Traditionally interpreted as an outcome of Cartesian dualism, in recent years occasionalism has undergone serious reassessment. Scholars have shifted their focus from the post-Cartesian debates on the mind-body problem to earlier discussions of body-body issues or even to the problem of causation as such. Occasionalism appears less and less a cheap solution to the mind-problem and more and more a family of theories on causation, which share the fundamental claim that all genuine causal powers belong to God. So why did the most spectacular emergence of occasionalism take place precisely in the post-Cartesian era? How did the scientific revolution and the need to fight back against the early modern resurgence of naturalism contribute to the success of occasionalist doctrines? This book provides a historical and theoretical map of occasionalism in all its various forms, with a special focus on its seventeenth-century supporters, adversaries, and polemical targets. These include not only canonical authors such as Cordemoy, La Forge, Malebranche, Spinoza, and Leibniz, but also less explored figures such as Clauberg, Clerselier, Fénelon, Fernel, Régis, and Regius. Furthermore, the book covers the earlier Arabic and Scholastic sources of occasionalism and its later developments in Berkeley, Wolff, and Hume.

Summary This book explores the transmission of the letters of Leo the Great (pope, 440-461). After setting out the contours of Leo's papacy and the factors contributing to the sending and subsequent transmission of his letters to posterity, it deals in detail with around sixty collections of Leo's letters and over 300 manuscripts ranging in date from the sixth up to the sixteenth century. Each period of the Middle Ages is introduced as the context for collecting and copying the letters, and the relationships between the letter collections themselves are traced. The result is a survey of the impact of Leo the Great upon Latin Christendom, an impact that was felt in theology and canon law, especially from the age of the Emperor Justinian to the Council of Ferrara-Florence, and moving through the major monasteries of Europe from Corbie to Clairvaux. At every cultural Renaissance, Leo was a presence, being copied, rearranged, interpreted, and eventually printed. This book is a testament to the legacy of one of the mid-fifth century's most influential figures.

Summary During the Roman era, when the ancient city of Palmyra was at the height of its powers, several thousand funerary portraits were sculpted, each carefully crafted to represent the men, women, and children who had once lived there as members of the Palmyrene elite. In their commemorative monuments, these individuals were given specific attributes to express their social status, wealth, identity, and skills. This volume provides an in-depth exploration of different aspects of these funerary portraits, and illuminates in particular the addition of attributes and how and why they were used by both artists and their patrons. The eight contributions gathered here examine the range of choices available to commissioners of art works in Palmyra, the prevalence or rarity of specific attributes, and the ways in which the variation and selection of attributes could be used in funerary, religious, or public contexts to express social cohesion and group identity, as well as to demonstrate individuality. Crucially, while these funerary monuments may be closely associated with Palmyra, they in fact provide clear evidence of the city's relationships across the wider region: examination of the different attributes suggests that the Palmyrenes were aware of how these were used, perceived, and adapted by neighbouring people as a way of transmitting various social meanings and expressing their own values.

Summary The funerary art that was produced in Roman Palmyra, a caravan city in the Syrian steppe desert, is rightly world-renowned. The frontal depictions of the deceased, featured in torso-length portraits, and the large-scale banqueting scenes are iconic, and lent an added mystique by the absence of any literary sources that might aid in their interpretation. But while from a distance these exquisite portraits might seem rather formulaic, when examining more closely, it is clear that these scenes reveal a surprisingly rich and varied funerary décor. Alongside the more popular iconographic choices are singular scenes, motifs, and elements that deviate from the norm, while new patterns and connections between Palmyra and its surroundings are identifiable. This volume, which draws on the vast materials gathered under the auspices of the Palmyra Portrait Project directed by Professor Rubina Raja, explores the 'oddities' raised by the Palmyrene corpus; it examines one-off scenes or elements, and unusual or unparalleled iconographical choices, and it questions how and why such unusual choices should be interpreted. The chapters gathered here not only focus on these visual 'hapax legomena' in Palmyra, but also explore the city's connections with the art of Roman centres to the west, as well as the nearby Hellenistic city states, regional centres of production, and Parthian and Persian sites to the east. Through this approach, the authors engage with the visual richness and sheer amount of choice that existed in Palmyrene funerary art, while also providing unique insights into the knowledge culture that existed within Palmyrene society.
