Abstract

The Assyriologist and archaeologist Reginald Campbell Thompson (1876-1941) studied Hebrew at Cambridge and upon graduation moved into the department of Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities at the British Museum, where he developed remarkable skill in matching fragments of cuneiform tablets and transcribing their texts. He excavated at Nineveh and later produced a definitive edition of the trilingual inscription of Darius at Behistan in Iran. This 1915 work describes Thompson's life 'in the field' at various sites in Egypt, the Sudan and western Asia. The difficulties and dangers of travel, the encounters with local people, and the management of an excavation are all described with enthusiasm and in melodramatic terms. Thompson lovingly records the daily life and traditions of the pre-1914 Middle East, perhaps feeling that he was witnessing a world that would soon be radically changed by the war. His Semitic Magic (1908) is also reissued in this series.

Abstract

À la croisée de l’histoire urbaine, de l’histoire de la colonisation et de l’histoire économique et sociale, cet ouvrage étudie la croissance de la ville de Tripoli en Libye pendant la colonisation italienne de 1911 à 1943. Fondé sur l’exploitation d’une importante masse archivistique et documentaire en grande partie inédite et conservée en Libye, il se propose d’analyser les facteurs économiques et politiques de cette évolution et d’en observer les effets sociaux et politiques. La transformation de Tripoli est en effet concomitante de son poids démographique croissant, faisant de la répartition de la population en fonction des catégories sociales et ethniques un des enjeux centraux du pouvoir colonial. À travers le cas de Tripoli, il s’agit ainsi de procéder à une analyse fine des modes de domination coloniale italiens et de contribuer à une nouvelle histoire de l’État italien par le biais de son outre-mer.
