Private associations organized around a common cult, occupation, ethnic identity, neighborhood or family were among the principal means of organizing social and economic life in the ancient Mediterranean. They offered opportunities for sociability, cultic activities, mutual support and contexts in which to display and recognize virtuous achievement. This volume collects 140 inscriptions and papyri from Ptolemaic and early Roman Egypt, along with translations, notes, commentary, and analytic indices. The dossier of association-related documents substantially enhances our knowledge of the extent, activities, and importance of private associations in the ancient Mediterranean, since papyri, unavailable from most other locations in the Mediterranean, preserve a much wider range of data than epigraphical monuments. The dossier from Egypt includes not only honorific decrees, membership lists, bylaws, dedications, and funerary monuments, but monthly accounts of expenditures and income, correspondence between guild secretaries and local officials, price and tax declarations, records of legal actions concerning associations, loan documents, petitions to local authorities about associations, letters of resignation, and many other papyrological genres. These documents provide a highly variegated picture of the governance structures and practices of associations, membership sizes and profiles, and forms of interaction with the State.

Interest in Theophrastus, Aristotle's pupil and successor as head of the Peripatetic School, has increased considerably since the 1992 publication of Theophastus of Eresus: Sources for his Life, Works, Thought and Life . Now comes an extensive commentary on the ethical sources. It considers Theophrastus in relation to Aristotle, to other members of the Peripatos and to the Stoic philosophers who became Theophrastus' rivals. Special attention is given to Theophrastus' insistence that virtue by itself cannot guarantee happiness. Also to the difference between manners and moral virtue, the relation between innate character and fate, the value of marriage and how animal behavior relates to that of human beings.

L'usage de versions abrégées des œuvres littéraires de tous les domaines, de l'ouvrage de botanique à l'ensemble de l'œuvre d'un historien comme Tite-Live, est extrêmement courant dans l'Antiquité. Ces résumés ont des formes variées, qui vont des « sommaires » (periochae) à la sélection d'extraits (épitomé), en passant, entre autres, par la paraphrase ; l'absence de cadre théorique, dans le monde gréco-romain, explique une telle diversité. Les contributeurs de ce volume se sont intéressés à des cas particuliers de résumés antiques, en s'interrogeant sur les pratiques à l'œuvre dans des domaines précis : les ouvrages scientifiques et techniques (médecine, astronomie, histoire) et le contexte rhétorique et scolaire (poésie, commentaires scolaires). Ils observent, chez les Anciens, un usage surprenant, pour le scientifique moderne, du résumé. En effet certains savants, en Grèce et à Rome, au cours de la rédaction d'un ouvrage, n'hésitent pas à puiser dans des résumés, et non dans les œuvres intégrales, tandis que d'autres vont jusqu'à ajouter des éléments aux sources qu'ils abrègent, voire à « réinventer » l'œuvre qu'ils résument. Dans le contexte scolaire, les résumés ont un rôle particulièrement important, dont les épitomateurs anciens sont souvent parfaitement conscients : les suppressions et les modifications manifestent une attention particulière à tel ou tel lectorat et le résumé a ses propres enjeux dans la transmission de toutes les formes de littérature.
