"This book offers new insights into a largely understudied group of Greek texts preserved in selected manuscripts from the Library at Wellcome Collection, London. The content of these manuscripts ranges from medicine, including theories on diagnosis and treatment of disease, to astronomy, philosophy, and poetry. With texts dating from the ancient era to the Byzantine and Ottoman worlds, each manuscript provides its own unique story, opening a window onto different social and cultural milieus. All chapters are illustrated with black and white and colour figures, highlighting some of the most significant codices in the collection"-- Provided by publisher.

Le développement de l’histoire des bibliothèques, du livre et de la lecture a jusqu’à présent largement laissé de côté les bibliothèques grecques dans l’Empire ottoman, en particulier pour les XVIe et XVIIe siècles. La rareté des sources documentaires liées aux livres et aux bibliothèques, qui se réduisent pour l’essentiel aux informations fournies par les livres eux-mêmes, explique en partie cette faille. Quelques bibliothèques, dont celle de la Sainte-Trinité de Chalki, refondée au milieu du XVIe siècle par le patriarche Métrophane III, fournissent cependant des dossiers documentaires riches et précieux. Le présent volume, qui rassemble la plupart des contributions de deux colloques organisés en 2015 à Rethymno et à Istanbul, est né du désir de répondre à cette double nécessité, à la fois combler un manque historiographique dans le domaine de l’histoire des bibliothèques grecques à la période moderne et comprendre le contexte historique dans lequel a pu se constituer et se développer la bibliothèque de la Sainte-Trinité de Chalki, prise comme paradigme.00Le volume, construit de manière historique et géographique, s’articule en trois parties: Le Patriarcat de Constantinople et les institutions monastiques (XVIe-XVIIe s.); Livres et bibliothèques à Constantinople (XVe-XVIIe s.); Circulation des livres en Méditerranée et renouveau des bibliothèques (XVIIe-XIXe s.). Il rassemble 18 contributions, que complètent dans la plupart des cas soit l’édition de dossiers documentaires liés aux bibliothèques étudiées, soit des tableaux synthétiques qui présentent le contenu et la provenance des manuscrits concernés.

"The Ptolemaic period in Egypt (332-30 BC) is one of the most well-documented periods of the Hellenistic age: in addition to the papyrological record there are more than 600 surviving Greek and Greek/Egyptian bilingual and trilingual inscriptions, ranging from massive public monuments, such as the Rosetta Stone, to small private dedications, funerary plaques, and metrical epigrams for the deceased. This volume offers a series of detailed studies of the historical andcultural contexts of these important inscriptions and is intended to complement the multi-volume Corpus of Ptolemaic Inscriptions edition, in which the Greek and Egyptian texts will be presented together for the first time. 0The subjects discussed in the twelve chapters range widely across a variety of sub-disciplines, from advances in new technologies of image-capture, the juxtaposition of Greek and Egyptian elements in the layout and iconography of the monuments, and the palaeography of the Greek texts, to the history of the acquisition and study of the great bilingual decrees voted by the priests of the indigenous Egyptian cults, the introduction of Greek civic administration and communal associations in the cities and villages, and the role of the military in monumental commemoration. Particular attention is given to the role of indigenous and Greek religious institutions in Alexandria and the towns and villages of the Nile Delta and Valley, in which commemorative dedications to divinities of temples and statues by the monarchs and by private individuals are numerous and prominent. 0In a period shaped by the interplay between Egyptian and Greek culture, the existence of public and private inscribed monuments was a vital element of dynastic control."--
