paperback, 220 pages ., 156 x 234 mm, Français. ISBN 9782503540689. L'Apocalypse johannique a longtemps pose probleme dans l?Eglise ancienne, en raison de son caractere hermetique et de l?abus qu?en ont fait les sectes millenaristes. L?Orient ne l?a recue que tardivement, non sans restriction, dans le canon des Ecritures. En Occident, elle n?a pas suscite les memes reticences. Elle le doit a un exegete genial, qui a su en proposer une lecture a la fois politiquement correcte, theologiquement acceptable et spirituellement utile, dans un contexte historique tres different de celui ou elle avait ete redigee. Tyconius, qui a vecu en Afrique du Nord dans la seconde moitie du IVe siecle, appartenait a l?Eglise donatiste, mais il etait loin de partager sans reserve sa doctrine. Il en prenait meme le contre-pied sur des points fondamentaux. Cela n?a pas empeche que son commentaire de l'Apocalypse ait subi le sort commun a la plupart des ouvrages reputes, a tort ou a raison, heretiques: il n?a plus ete recopie et s?est perdu. Cependant, les commentateurs de l?antiquite chretienne et du haut moyen age s?en sont inspires de facon a ce point etroite, qu?il est possible de reconstituer, par comparaison, leur source commune. Ce texte fondateur, dont on trouvera ici la traduction, a ete edite dans la serie latine du Corpus Christianorum sous le numero 107A. Des renvois aux pages correspondantes de l?edition sont fournis dans les marges de cette publication. Monseigneur Roger Gryson, professeur emerite a l'Universite catholique de Louvain, est connu notamment par ses travaux sur l'histoire des institutions ecclesiastiques dans l'antiquite, l'arianisme latin et la critique textuelle de la Bible latine.

This series, edited by Professor d'Hulst, is a definitive multi-volumed catalogue raisonné of the work of the great Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens. Part III provides sixty-seven outstanding examples of Rubens's gift as a narrator, bearing witness to the fertility of his imagination, the accuracy of his drawings, and the inspired skill of his brushwork.

Everything catalogued is also illustrated with additional comparative illustrations.
hardback 434 p., 160 x 240 mm francais. ISBN 9782503505985. A propos de la parution de la version anglaise en 1978, M. Pacaut, dans son compte rendu dans les Cahiers de civilisation medievale, exprimait le principal regret qu'avait suscite chez lui la lecture du present ouvrage, "a savoir qu'il n'y ait pas de ce volume une traduction francaise". C'est un grand plaisir donc de pouvoir annoncer enfin la parution de l'edition francaise, completement mise a jour et adaptee a tous les progres de la recherche (y compris les publications parues en 1996). On dispose ainsi d'une introduction claire et complete aux sources originales de l'histoire du Moyen Age occidental ainsi que de l'information necessaire a leur utilisation et leur interpretation correctes. Couvrant toute l'Europe occidentale du cinqieme au quinzieme siecle, ce livre est une aide precieuse pour le chercheur desirant avoir acces a ces sources d'information et offre un instrument de premier ordre en ecdotique de l'histoire medievale. Les differents types de textes narratifs et non narratifs y sont exposes, et l'histoire de la naissance et du developpement des etudes medievales du seizieme siecle a nos jours est decrite dans un apercu original. Quoique l'attention se soit portee principalement sur l'Europe occidental, deux courts chapitres sont toutefois consacres a l'histoire byzantine. Le texte de ce livre est identique a celui paru sous le titre l'Introduction aux sources de l'histoire medievale. Le dernier contient en outre les parties IV (Ouvrages de reference pour l'etude des textes medievaux) et V (Introduction bibliographique aux sciences auxiliaires de l'histoire).
pp. iv, 193, (10 unnumbered pages of publishers advertisements) 12mo. 200mm. Original publisher's full red cloth binding embossed and in blind with center cartouche of Barnes & Co. Spine ruled in blind and lettered plainly in gilt. Boards rubbed with light soiling. Spine darkened and brittle with wear to head and base. Corners frayed. End papers with publishers advertisements. First American edition. Contents clean. Hardbound. Very Good. Hannah Mary Rathbone (1798-1878) was an English writer and the author of The Diary of Lady Willoughby. Influenced by her father's tastes, she had read many histories and memoirs of the Civil war and adjacent periods, and her publisher (Thomas Longman) took great pride in bringing out the Diary as an exact reproduction of a book of the seventeenth century, in which it was supposed to be written. He had a new fount specially cast at the Chiswick Press. In some quarters the Diary was at once accepted as genuine; in others, author and publisher incurred indignant reproof as having conspired in an intentional deception. Readers speculated on the identity of the writer; and Robert Southey, Lord John Manners, and Mr. John Murray were in turn suggested. In the third edition the publishers and author inserted a joint note avowing the real character of the book. In 1847 Mrs. Rathbone issued a sequel under the title Some further Portions of the Diary of Lady Willoughby which do relate to her Domestic History and to the of the latter Years of the Reign of King Charles the First, the Protectorate, and the Revolution. The two parts were in 1848 re-published together. The general excellence of Mrs. Rathbone's workmanship, when she is at her best, becomes most clearly evident if Lady Willoughby's Diary is compared with Anne Manning's Life of Mary Powell (1850), which manifestly owed its origin to the success of the earlier work, but is altogether inferior to it.
