The reign of Khusro I (531-579) was a key-period for the history of the Sasanian Empire. Nevertheless, sporadic persecutions of Christians converted from Zoroastrianism are attested. Among these martyrs, there were famous people of civil society such as Grigor Piran-Gusnasp, general-in-chief of the king’s armies, Yazd-panah, a high dignitary and judge, and ‘Awira, a courtier. The most famous was the Catholicos Mar Abba (540-552), who reunified the Church of the East after nearly twenty-five years of schism; canonist and exegete, he also restored ecclesiastical discipline which had been significantly weakened since 484. He is known to have been involved in Mazdeo-Christian controversies and polemical debates with West-Syrian Christians. These narratives written by contemporaries to the events are the only East-Syrian hagiographies of that time in Syriac; they provide valuable informations regarding socio-religious and political situation of the sixth century Orient. A critical edition based on manuscripts from the London, Berlin and Vatican Libraries, including a translation in French with a commentary, is presented for the first time. Le règne du souverain Khusro Ier (531-579) fut une période-phare de l’histoire de la Perse sassanide, marquée aussi par des persécutions sporadiques à l’encontre des chrétiens d’origine zoroastrienne. Parmi ces martyrs figurent de grands personnages de la société civile tels Grigor Pirian-Gusnasp, général en chef des armées du roi, un haut-fonctionnaire et juge du nom de Yazd-panah ainsi qu’un notable de la cour, ‘Awira. Le plus illustre fut sans doute le catholicos Mar Abba (540-552), réunificateur de l’Église d’Orient après un schisme de près de vingt-cinq ans, canoniste, exégète, restaurateur de la discipline ecclésiastique qui avait été affaiblie depuis l’action entreprise par Barsauma en 484, controversiste réputé avec les zoroastriens et les chrétiens syro-orthodoxes, médiateur de paix pour les communautés chrétiennes. Ces textes, mis par écrit par des contemporains des événements, sont les seules hagiographies syro-orientales de cette époque à nous être parvenues en syriaque et présentent une remarquable qualité d’informations sur le paysage socio-religieux et politique de l’Orient au VIe siècle. Une édition critique commentée, accompagnée d’une traduction en français, est pour la première fois proposée à partir des uniques manuscrits existants de Londres, Berlin et du Vatican.

The tremendous success of indivisibles methods in geometry in the seventeenth century, responds to a vast project: installation of infinity in mathematics. The pathways by the authors are very diverse, as are the characterizations of indivisibles, but there are significant factors of unity between the various doctrines of indivisible; the permanence of the language used by all authors is the strongest sign. These efforts do not lead to the stabilization of a mathematical theory (with principles or axioms, theorems respecting these first statements, followed by applications to a set of geometric situations), one must nevertheless admire the magnitude of the results obtained by these methods and highlights the rich relationships between them and integral calculus. The present book aims to be exhaustive since it analyzes the works of all major inventors of methods of indivisibles during the seventeenth century, from Kepler to Leibniz. It takes into account the rich existing literature usually devoted to a single author. This book results from the joint work of a team of specialists able to browse through this entire important episode in the history of mathematics and to comment it. The list of authors involved in indivisibles´ field is probably sufficient to realize the richness of this attempt; one meets Kepler, Cavalieri, Galileo, Torricelli, Gregoire de Saint Vincent, Descartes, Roberval, Pascal, Tacquet, Lalouvère, Guldin, Barrow, Mengoli, Wallis, Leibniz, Newton.
