"In September 2005 the IAA Reports series introduced a new book, POTTERY OF THE CRUSADER, AYYUBID, AND MAMLUK PERIODS IN ISRAEL. This book, designed as an easy-to-use catalogue, is a first attempt to collect and distinguish pottery of these periods.In the modern state of Israel a considerable number of sites with strata from the Crusader, Ayyubid, and Mamluk periods have been excavated throughout the last years. These sites yielded a wealth of ceramic mate­rial that is thus far not well known. POTTERY OF THE CRUSADER, AYYUBID, AND MAMLUK PERIODS IN ISRAEL was written in order to fill this lacuna. It presents an up-to-date survey of pottery from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries excavated in Israel through 2004. It is organized as a wide-ranging typology that includes the necessary scientific apparatus, 53 pottery figures illustrating the various types, and 34 color plates that vividly demonstrate the colors of the clay, glazes and decorations. The catalogue is divided into three part: Part I presents the glazed table wares, comprised largely of glazed bowls, and less of closed glazed vessels. There is a wide range of locally produced wares, as well as wares imported from Egypt, Syria, Byzantium, Italy, Spain, and North Africa, and China. Part II deals with simple, mostly unglazed, domestic and industrial wares, as well as glazed cooking wares. Part III discusses the common oil lamps. The initial aim of the book is to assist the field archae­ologist in pottery sorting, as well as to help the interested ceramic specialists, students and readers in identifying and dating the various types. The book is dedicated to the memory of Amir Drori (1937-2005), who was the founder and first director of the Israel Antiquities Authority (1989-2000).".

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.
