As the changes in the traditional family accelerated toward the end of the twentieth century, a great deal of attention came to focus on fathers, both modern and ancient. While academics and politicians alike singled out the conspicuous and growing absence of the modern father as a crucial factor affecting contemporary family and social dynamics, ancient historians and classicists have rarely explored ancient father-absence, despite the likelihood that nearly a third of all children in the ancient Mediterranean world were fatherless before they turned fifteen. The proportion of children raised by single mothers, relatives, step-parents, or others was thus at least as high in antiquity as it is today. This book assesses the wide-ranging impact high levels of chronic father-absence had on the cultures, politics, and families of the ancient world.

Ce livre porte sur les conflits autour de l'héritage dans le monde européen de l'Antiquité à la fin du Moyen Âge. Il traite des règles de l'héritage et de la division des propriétés en Grèce ancienne, dans les Empires romain et byzantin, certains royaumes latins et l'Egypte musulmane, au temps des Mameloukes. Les sources mises à contribution dans ce livre sont diverses : sources documentaires, inscriptions, papyri et manuscrits fournissant pétitions et testaments, mais aussi des sources littéraires, des jugements rendus et des codes de lois. Le livre se concentre sur l'impact que les religions ont eu sur le droit familial et la transmission des biens, et offre une appréciation du phénomène pour la religion gréco-romaine, le judaïsme, le christianisme et l'islam.
