L'ouvrage de M. Mallet comble une lacune: l'art roman en Anjou n'avait jamais fait l'objet d'une étude d'ensemble; la disparition de nombreux grands édifices semble avoir, jusqu'à présent, découragé les chercheurs. Des recherches longues et minutieuses ont permis à l'auteur de nous restituer ces grandes églises détruites. Les monuments subsistants, la priorale de Cunault, les abbatiales du Ronceray ou de Fontevrault sont étudiées dans leur cadre originel. Ce livre peut ainsi prétendre donner une idée complète de l'art religieux majeur dans le diocèse d'Angers à l'époque romane. Dans le souci d'être aussi exhaustif que possible, l'auteur analyse avec le même soin les églises rurales. Ces églises, petites ou moyennes, qui apportent dans nos campagnes leur part de beauté, sont le reflet des grandes œuvres et des options artistiques contemporaines. Elles témoignent souvent de recherches originales dans le jeu des volumes ou l'utilisation de la lumière. Au delà de leur valeur propre, elles servent donc à mieux comprendre les monuments disparus. Cet ouvrage s'efforce enfin de replacer les édifices locaux dans l'art de leur époque où tradition carolingienne et forte inspiration rénovatrice se côtoient. La sculpture se caractérise par une lisibilité qui va, pour la scuplture figurée, jusqu'à la violenceexpressionniste. Les portes de la salle capitulaire et du réfectoire de Saint-Aubin d'Angers, la grande arcadeoccidentale de Saint-Florent de Saumur, bien d'autres œuvres de qualité témoignent de la réussite de cet art. C'est donc à la découverte d'une architecture et d'une sculpture en bonne partie ignorée que nous convie M. Mallet. Les 320 photos, prises spécialement sur les indications de l'auteur s'adaptent étroitement au texte et rendent sensible l'originale beauté des partis pris architecturaux. Les 90 plans à la même échelle suggèrent de fructueuses comparaisons. Le simple curieux comme le spécialiste trouveront dans ce livre instruction et plaisir.

The Late Bronze Age in the Levant is a period of much interest to archaeologists, historians and biblical scholars. This is a period with intense international relations, rich in ancient sources, which provide historical data for the period, and is a crucial formative period for the peoples and cultures who play central roles in the Hebrew Bible. Recent archaeological research in Israel and surrounding countries has provided new, exciting, and in some cases, groundbreaking finds, interpretations and understanding of this period.The fourteen papers in this volume represent the proceedings of a conference held at Bar-Ilan University in 2014 (with the additional of several invited papers not presented at the conference), which provide both overviews of Late Bronze Age finds from several important sites in Israel and surrounding countries, as well as several synthetic studies on the various issues relating to the period. These papers, by and large, represent a broad view of cuttting edge research in the archaeology of the ancient Levant in general, and on the Late Bronze Age specifically.

Communities of Style examines the production and circulation of portable luxury goods throughout the Levant in the early Iron Age (1200-600 BCE). In particular it focuses on how societies in flux came together around the material effects of art and style, and their role in collective memory.

In this comprehensive study of a common deity found in the ancient Near East as well as many other cultures, Green brings together evidence from the worlds of myth, iconography, and literature in an attempt to arrive at a new synthesis regarding the place of the Storm-god. He finds that the Storm-god was the force primarily responsible for three major areas of human concern: (1) religious power because he was the ever-dominant environmental force upon which peoples depended for their very lives; (2) centralized political power; and (3) continuously evolving sociocultural processes, which typically were projected through the Storm-god's attendants. Green traces these motifs through the Mesopotamian, Anatolian, Syrian, and Levantine regions; with regard to the latter, he argues that Yahweh of the Bible can be identified as a storm-god, though certain unique characteristics came to be associated with him: he was the Creator of all that is created and the self-existing god who needs no other.

In July, 2009, the International Association for Assyriology met in Paris, France, for 5 days to deliver and listen to papers on the theme “La famille dans le Proche-Orient.” This volume, the proceedings of the conference, contains 53 of the papers read at the 55th annual Rencontre, including primarily papers directly connected with the theme and some on areas of related interest. The papers covered every period of Mesopotamian history, from the third millennium through the end of the first millennium B.C.E. The photo on the back cover shows only a representative portion of the attendees, who were warmly hosted by faculty and students from the Collège de France.
