Augustus rÜhmte sich in seinen res gestae nicht nur, dass er viele alte Beispiele (exempla) der Vorfahren Überliefert habe, sondern gleichsam auch durch seine Person der Nachwelt viel Neues zur Nachahmung geschaffen hat. Dem hier angelegten Spannungsverhältnis zwischen »alten« und »neuen« exempla, zwischen der Legitimation durch Rekurs auf die Vergangenheit mittels exempla und der immer gegenwärtigen Behauptung einer Gegenwartsrelevanz von exempla spÜrt der Band anhand des Begriffsinstrumentes von Exemplarität und Exzeptionalität nach.

Dans le cadre d'une étude des relations de l'Inde avec les pays étrangers, le présent volume réunit deux articles consacrés aux échanges de biens et d'idées entre l'Inde et l'Empire romain. Le premier est consacré aux échanges de l'Inde et de Rome aux premiers siècles de l'ère chrétienne, les communications entre ces deux grands foyers de civilisation étant bien attestées par les textes grecs et latins et confirmées par les textes indiens et par les découvertes archéologiques. Le second s'intéresse à un texte attestant d'une connaissance approfondie de la philosophie brahmanique dans l'Antiquité classique: un exposé grec de cette philosophie rédigé au IIIe siècle, l'Elenchos, est ici traduit en français, commenté et interprété à la lumière des Upaniṣad. The present volume in French assembles, in the context of the study of relations between India and other countries, two articles devoted to the exchanges of materials and ideas between India and the Roman Empire. The first article studies the exchanges between India and Rome at the beginning of the Christian era. The contacts between these two great seats of civilization are well supported by Greek and Latin as well as Indian texts, as also archaeological discoveries. The second article presents a text that attests to a profound knowledge of Brahminical philosophy in the period of Classical Antiquity: the Elenchos, a Greek treatise expounding Brahmanical philosophy that was composed in the 3rd century A.D. It is translated here into French as well as commented upon and interpreted in the light of the Upaniṣads.

"In this magisterial book, William St Clair unfolds the history of the Parthenon throughout the modern era to the present day, with special emphasis on the period before, during, and after the Greek War of Independence of 1821 32. Focusing particularly on the question of who saved the Parthenon from destruction during this conflict, with the help of documents that shed a new light on this enduring question, he explores the contributions made by the Philhellenes, Ancient Athenians, Ottomans and the Great Powers. Marshalling a vast amount of primary evidence, much of it previously unexamined and published here for the first time, St Clair rigorously explores the multiple ways in which the Parthenon has served both as a cultural icon onto which meanings are projected and as a symbol of particular national, religious and racial identities, as well as how it illuminates larger questions about the uses of built heritage. This book has a companion volume with the classical Parthenon as its main focus, which offers new ways of recovering the monument and its meanings in ancient times." -- Publisher's description.
