This work aims at shedding light on the corpus or fragments of Ancient Comedy, which is often overshadowed by Aristophanes’ eleven extant comedies. It presents the first annotated translation into Portuguese of the fragments of Aristophanes and of their sources.This volume also contains an introductory study dedicated to these sources, the context in which the excerpts appeared and how they were transmitted. It brings together and organizes useful information on lexicography and deals with the reception of Aristophanes in Antiquity.

"Que signifie prendre racine, s'insérer dans un espace, le faire nôtre, le transformer à notre image et, en retour, devenir autre sous son influence ? En somme, que signifie devenir "habitant" ? Le terme a longtemps été péjoratif chez nous : quasi-synonyme de personne inculte, rustre, ours mal dégrossi ; le péquenaud des Français. À tort. C'est toute une aventure que celle de devenir habitant, aventure que nos aïeux ont menée à bien, de façon exemplaire, en construisant ce pays. Il n'y a pas de plus beau destin que celui d'habiter pleinement un lieu. Ce petit livre cherche à en témoigner. L'auteur, un universitaire avec des velléités de terrien, livre quelques extraits de ses carnets qui témoignent, de manière fragmentée, d'un parcours d'enracinement (si on lui passe l'apparente contradiction de la formulation). Ce long parcours couvrant presque un demi-siècle a peut-être une valeur représentative : ainsi, il serait le témoin d'un moment, d'une époque, d'une génération. Peut-on être enraciné ? Certes, on a un parcours. Mais l'enracinement est-il possible ? Si on s'enracine dans un espace, un temps, une communauté, une famille, une parentèle, c'est pour en être déraciné inévitablement, hélas, à plus ou moins brève échéance. Des traces peuvent demeurer, toutefois. Des fragments…"--

This open access atlas is an up-to-date visual resource on the features and structures observed in soil thin sections, i.e. soil micromorphology. The book addresses the growing interest in soil micromorphology in the fields of soil science, earth science, archaeology and forensic science, and serves as a reference tool for researchers and students for fast learning and intuitive feature and structure recognition. The book is divided into six parts and contains hundreds of images and photomicrographs. Part one is devoted to the way to sample properly soils, the method of preparation of thin sections, the main tool of soil micromorphology (the microscope), and the approach of soil micromorphology as a scientific method. Part two focuses on the organisation of soil fragments and presents the concept of fabric. Part three addresses the basic components, e.g. rocks, minerals, organic compounds and anthropogenic features. Part four lists all the various types of pedogenic features observed in a soil, i.e. the imprint of pedogenesis. Part five gives interpretations of features associated with the main processes at work in soils and paleosols. Part six presents a view of what the future of soil micromorphology could be. Finally, the last part consists of the index and annexes, including the list of mineral formulas. This atlas will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students, who will find it a convenient tool for the self-teaching of soil micromorphology by using comparative photographs.

"Much of what is known about the past often rests upon the chance survival of objects and texts. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the fragments of medieval manuscripts re-used as bookbindings in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Such fragments provide a tantalizing, yet often problematic glimpse into the manuscript culture of the Middle Ages. Exploring the opportunities and difficulties such documents provide, this volume concentrates on the c. 50,000 fragments of medieval Latin manuscripts stored in archives across the five Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. This large collection of fragments (mostly from liturgical works) provides rich evidence about European Latin book culture, both in general and in specific relation to the far north of Europe, one of the last areas of Europe to be converted to Christianity. As the essays in this volume reveal, individual and groups of fragments can play a key role in increasing and advancing knowledge about the acquisition and production of medieval books, and in helping to distinguish locally made books from imported ones. Taking an imaginative approach to the source material, the volume goes beyond a strictly medieval context to integrate early modern perspectives that help illuminate the pattern of survival and loss of Latin manuscripts through post-Reformation practices concerning reuse of parchment. In so doing it demonstrates how the use of what might at first appear to be unpromising source material can offer unexpected and rewarding insights into diverse areas of European history and the history of the medieval book."--Provided by publisher.

Le Patient anglais, le film d'Anthony Minghella sorti sur les écrans en mars 1997 et mettant en vedette Ralph Fiennes, Willem Dafoe, Kristin Scott-Thomas et Juliette Binoche a certainement fait découvrir au public français le dernier roman de Michael Ondaatje publié en 1992. Né au Sri Lanka, éduqué en Angleterre, Ondaatje s'est imposé comme l'un des plus grands auteurs canadiens depuis qu'il a émigré au Canada en 1962. L'apport culturel des immigrés a enrichi considérablement la littérature canadienne d'expression anglaise. Inclassable à cause de sa transgression des genres l'oeuvre ondaatjienne est forte car instable dans son mélange foisonnant et ironique. Ondaatje tisse un grand texte à partir de fils épars multicolores et relate la quête d'un homme déchiré par son désir de transcender son état. Seule la mort donne l'éternité. Ce livre évoque les jeux de masques d'une écriture qui emprunte tous les tons et saisit la richesse d'une diversité volontairement déconstruite dans la bonne tradition de la littérature post-coloniale et post-moderne.
