This volume brings together contributions from authors from sixteen European countries who seek their roots in the classical Greek heritage and especially in literary or epigraphic texts written in ancient Greek, Byzantine, Renaissance or later eras. With this they seek to clarify the idea of their own nationality in the context of the construction of a multifaceted Europe with a historical personality, from the past to the present.

Emules en cela des Lacandons du Chiapas, les Indiens Jicaques du Honduras ont lutté pendant plus de trois siècles contre les colons espagnols qui voulaient les asservir et contre les missionnaires qui s’efforçaient de les convertir. Quand la résistance de ce peuple s’effondra, au milieu du xixe siècle, une poignée d’irréductibles se réfugia dans les forêts, alors désertes, de la Montaña de la Flor, pour continuer à y mener la vie libre à laquelle ils étaient attachés. Leurs descendants sont maintenant plus de quatre cents, malgré les fâcheux effets de la consanguinité qui multiplie parmi eux le nombre des sourds-muets. Ils ont obtenu la concession officielle de leurs terres, dont ils interdisent, en principe, l’accès aux étrangers. Avec leurs sarbacanes, leurs longues chevelures, leurs jambes nues et leurs tuniques de couleur foncée, ils apparaissent comme des reliques du passé précolombien. Mais ils sont maintenant pressés de tous côtés par des voisins blancs ou métis de plus en plus nombreux. Pendant plusieurs séjours au Honduras, Anne Chapman, vivant en limite de la réserve jicaque, sut gagner la confiance, puis l’amitié d’Alfonso Martínez, le meilleur détenteur des anciennes traditions orales d’un peuple déjà en voie d’acculturation. Ce narrateur étonnamment doué, put ainsi, avant de mourir, nous transmettre un remarquable ensemble de textes dictés dans un espagnol populaire très coloré. Ces textes sont publiés ici avec leur traduction française, des notes et des commentaires. On y trouve aussi tout un ensemble de croyances concernant la mort el l’au-delà, car les Jicaques se considèrent comme les enfants de la mort, par opposition à leurs divinités, qui sont censées être immortelles. Des souvenirs personnels du narrateur, évoqués de-ci de-là, achè- vent de faire de ce recueil un document humain précieux, vivant et souvent émouvant.

Depois de ter recuperado para o nosso património vivo obras tão importantes como História do Fado, de Pinto de Carvalho (Tinop), Através dos Campos, de José da Silva Picão, Da Prostituição na Cidade de Lisboa, de Francisco Ignacio dos Santos Cruz, e Contos Populares Portugueses, de Adolfo Coelho, a colecção «Portugal de Perto» orgulha-se de poder agora oferecer aos seus leitores aquela que tem sido considerada a primeira grande obra de conjunto da etnografia portuguesa: O Povo Português nos Seus Costumes, Crenças e Tradições, de Teófilo Braga, publicada em dois volumes em 1885. Como refere Jorge Freitas Branco no esclarecedor prefácio que para esta edição escreveu, volvidos que são cem anos sobre a sua publicação, «não perdeu qualquer interesse relembrá-la pela reedição, rever nela as ideias oitocentistas com o distanciamento crítico do tempo percorrido, repensar a seu propósito o quadro de desenvolvimento de ramos do conhecimento científico em Portugal [...] e, finalmente, facilitar ao público o acesso a um texto cheio de pormenores dum quotidiano para muitos de nós ainda não completamente votado ao esquecimento». Dada a extensão da obra, manteve-se na presente reedição a divisão em dois volumes a que obedeceu a edição original de 1885.

"Every aspect of human life is influenced by traditions. Whether at home, at work, or at leisure, what we do and say has developed out of inherited beliefs, ideas, and practices. But how often do we stop to reflect on the importance of traditions? Understanding tradition means coming to know ourselves better, and so considering tradition from different perspectives is a worthwhile pursuit. Traditionally, Catholic thought has relied on philosophers and theologians to reflect on, develop, and pass along what really matters to the next generation. This book brings together the work of an international team of such scholars, who gathered for a conference at the Catholic University of Notre Dame Australia (Sydney) to reflect together on the perennial significance of traditions. Living the Catholic Tradition examines, philosophically and theologically, how traditions are not a thing from the past. It engages with biblical scholarship, systematic theology, moral philosophy and theology, political philosophy, and the arts. Readers will come away from reading this book ready to continue the 0tradition of thinking deeply about what matters to vibrant communities of belief and practice."--
