Friedenberg's work provides the first comprehensive study of the use of seals by Jews from the 12th to the 16th century and their role in transforming Europe from a barter economy to a money economy. Structuring his analysis by geographic regions, Friedenberg examines the physical nature of the seals and discusses the symbols and legends they employ. He examines their relation to similar Christian seals, their legal validity and use, and their prevalence in certain areas at certain times. In all, 177 seals are catalogued. Where the impressions are appended to documents, the document is also reviewed. Whenever possible, the seals are illustrated, as are the most significant documents, along with other seals, medals, coins, letters and paintings which serve to illuminate the discussion of a seal. The result is the definitive catalog of all known Jewish seals of the period.

Seals and Society arises from a major project investigating seals and their use in medieval Wales, the Welsh March and neighbouring counties in England. The first major study of seals in the context of one part of medieval Western European society, the volume also offers a new perspective on the history of medieval Wales and its periphery by addressing a variety of themes in terms of the insight that seals can offer the historian. Though the present study suggests important regional distinctions in the take-up of seals in medieval Wales, it is also clear that seal usage increased from the later twelfth century and spread widely in Welsh society, especially in those parts of Wales neighbouring England or where there had been an early English incursion. Through a series of chapters, the authors examine the ways in which seals can shed light on the legal, administrative, social and economic history of the period in Wales and its border region. Seals provide unique insights into the choices individuals, men and women, made in representing themselves to the wider world, and this issue is examined closely. Supported by almost 100 images gathered by the project team, the volume is of great interest to those working on seals, their motifs, their use and developments in their usage over the high and later Middle Ages.

Les Empreintes du temps sont la première publication exhaustive d'une collection de sceaux éthiopiens encore inconnue il y a quatre ans. L'événement est une aubaine pour les amateurs de sigillographie comme pour les historiens de l'Éthiopie à l'époque de son entrée dans la modernité. Un signal fort fut donné à l'Occident par le roi des rois Téwodros II, qui, assiégé sur sa forteresse de Mäqdäla par le général Napier venu délivrer manu militari des prisonniers européens, préféra se donner la mort plutôt que de connaître le déshonneur de la défaite. C'était en 1868. La collection Boucoiran s'ouvre précisément sur le sceau de ce roi, puissant et courageux à l'image du lion qui fait une entrée durable dans la sigillographie éthiopienne. Téwodros acquit très tôt une stature de héros national. Dès sa disparition, une « élégie mélancolique » le célébrait en ces termes : Voyez donc comme meurt un véritable lion, Qui croit ignominieux de mourir de main d'homme. (Berhanou Abebe, Histoire de l'Ethiopie d'Axoum à la révolution, Maisonneuve & Larose, 1998 : 101). À partir de Menilek II, les sceaux célèbrent le roi des rois comme le Lion de Juda, réaffirmant ainsi le mythe, fondateur de la royauté éthiopienne, de la descendance salomonienne des souverains. La collection Boucoiran réunit, en exactement cent empreintes, les principaux personnages nobiliaires, militaires, civils et religieux qui animèrent la vie intérieure et internationale du pays entre 1860 et 1925, soit du règne de Téwodros à celui de la fille de Menilek II, Zäwditu, au cours de la régence du ras Täfäri, futur Haylä Sellasé. L'ouvrage répond à un triple objectif : l'identification des titulaires de ces sceaux comme contribution à leurs biographies, le décryptage et la traduction des exergues en caractères ge'ez, arabes, plus rarement romains, enfin une lecture et une interprétation ouvertes des motifs iconographiques. Les auteurs ont choisi de traiter ces empreintes comme des sources historiques originales.
