This book examines the seemingly universal notion of a grammatical cosmos. Individual essays discuss how many of the great civilizations provide cognitive maps that emerge from a metaphysical linguistics in which sounds, syllables and other signs form the constructive elements of reality. The essays address cross-cultural issues such as: Why does grammar serve as a template in these cultures? How are such templates culturally contoured? To what end are they applied — id est, what can one do with grammar — , and how does it work upon the world? The book is divided into three sections that deal with the metaphysics of linguistic creation; practices of encoding and decoding as a means of deciphering reality; and language in the widest sense as a medium for self- and cultural transformation. Contributors include: Jan Assman, Sara Sviri, Michael Stone, M. Finkelberg, Yigal Bronner, Martin Kern, Brouria Bitton-Ashkelony, Dan Martin, Jonathan Garb, Tom Hunter, David Shulman, and Sergio La Porta.

The History of the Armenian priest Łewond is an important source for the history of early Islamic rule and the only contemporary chronicle of second/eighth-century caliphal rule in Armenia. This volume presents a diplomatic edition and new English translation of Łewond's text, which describes events that took place during the century and a half following the Prophet Muḥammad's death in AH 11/632 CE. The authors address Łewond's account as a work of caliphal history, written in Armenian, from within the Caliphate. As such, this book provides a critical reading of the Caliphate from one of its most significant provinces and can be used by both students and specialists in the field. Reading notes clarify many aspects of the period covered to make the text understandable to students. Extensive commentary elucidates Łewond's narrative objectives and situates his History in a broader Near Eastern historiographical context by bringing the text into new conversations with a constellation of Arabic, Greek, and Syriac works that cover the same period. This book thus stresses the multiplicity of voices operating in the Caliphate in this pivotal period of Near Eastern history.

Espace privilégié d’échanges et de circulation, la Méditerranée médiévale est un théâtre de rencontres entre chrétiens d’Orient et d’Occident. Celles-ci constituent un moyen de transmission des savoirs et des connaissances, elles contribuent à façonner de nouvelles représentations tant sur le plan de l’histoire que sur le plan des espaces ou de l’ecclésiologie. Les conditions de production de textes historiques, leur circulation, leurs usages et l’autorité qui leur est conférée permettent alors d’examiner comment Latins, Grecs et Orientaux tiennent compte de l’altérité interne ou externe à la chrétienté dans sa définition même. La quête des origines, le plus souvent destinée à fonder une autorité, peut ainsi être mise au service tantôt d’une réflexion critique sur la situation présente, tantôt d’une stratégie de légitimation d’une entreprise à venir. Centré sur l’Occident et les Orients chrétiens, de Constantinople à l’Éthiopie en passant par l’Arménie, cet ouvrage n’en porte pas moins sur une aire régionale méditerranéenne où, à l’exception de sa partie nord-occidentale, les pouvoirs islamiques gagnent en importance au détriment des pouvoirs chrétiens. Entre Occident et Orients chrétiens, ilkhanides et islamiques, porosité, emprunts ou, à l’inverse, revendications identitaires de communautés qui, loin de vivre isolées les unes des autres, sont en interaction constante, constituent une variable supplémentaire de la définition d’une écriture de l’histoire. Ce livre offre une réflexion transversale autour de la production et de la transmission des récits historiques dans l’espace méditerranéen et proche-oriental au Moyen Âge. Ces récits sont autant de symptômes de l’intégration constante qu’opèrent des sociétés interconnectées et ouvertes à de nouveaux espaces comme à l’introduction de nouvelles idées.
