Abstract

Dès lors qu'il s'agit de situer une image, d'interroger un éclat de la réalité ou bien encore d'épousseter un fragment du passé, l'utilité de la culture générale s'impose, pour les liens qu'elle restaure, sans lesquels il n'y a guère de signification possible. Faisant suite aux 100 mots de la culture générale, ce livre propose d'emprunter ces portes d'entrées dans notre mémoire collective que sont les dates, celles bien connues des grands rendez-vous de l'histoire, et d'autres, souvent dérobées, qui ouvrent sur des perspectives étonnantes. De la naissance du monothéisme au tsunami du 26 décembre 2001 en passant par l'invention de la lame de rasoir jetable en 1895, voici cent événements, grands ou plus petits, qui saut autant d'occasions d'aiguiser sa réflexion, autant d'entrées en matière possibles.

Abstract

Maize has been described as a primary catalyst to complex sociocultural development in the Americas. State of the art research on maize chronology, molecular biology, and stable carbon isotope research on ancient human diets have provided additional lines of evidence on the changing role of maize through time and space and its spread throughout the Americas. The multidisciplinary evidence from the social and biological sciences presented in this volume have generated a much more complex picture of the economic, political, and religious significance of maize. The volume also includes ethno

Abstract

The system of numbering the years AD (Anni Domini, Years of the Lord) originated with Dionysius Exiguus. Dionysius drafted a 95-year table of dates for Easter beginning with the year 532 AD. Why Dionysius chose the year that he did to number as '1' has been a source of controversy and speculation for almost 1500 years. According to the Gospel of Luke (3.1; 3.23), Jesus was baptized in the 15th year of the emperor Tiberius and was about 30 years old at the time. The 15th year of Tiberius was AD 29. If Jesus was 30 years old in AD 29, then he was born in the year that we call 2 BC. Most ancient authorities dated the Nativity accordingly.Alden Mosshammer provides the first comprehensive study of early Christian methods for calculating the date of Easter to have appeared in English in more than one hundred years. He offers an entirely new history of those methods, both Latin and Greek, from the earliest such calculations in the late second century until the emergence of the Byzantine era in the seventh century. From this history, Mosshammer draws the fresh hypothesis that Dionysius did not calculate or otherwise invent a new date for the birth of Jesus, instead adopting a date that was already well established in the Greek church. Mosshammer offers compelling new conclusions on the origins of the Christian era drawing upon evidence found in the fragments of Julius Africanus, of Panodorus of Alexandria, and in the traditions of the Armenian church.
