"In 632, soon after the prophet Muhammad died, a struggle broke out among his followers as to who would succeed him. The majority argued that the new leader of Islam should be elected by the community's elite. Others believed only members of Muhammad's family could lead. This dispute over who should guide Muslims, the appointed Caliph or the bloodline Imam, marks the origin of the Sunni-Shii split in Islam. Toby Matthiesen explores this hugely significant division from its origins to the present day. Moving chronologically, his book sheds light on the many ways that it has shaped the Islamic world, outlining how over the centuries Sunnism and Shiism became Islams two main branches, particularly after the Muslim Empires embraced sectarian identity. It reveals how colonial rule institutionalised divisions between Sunnism and Shiism both on the Indian subcontinent and in the greater Middle East, giving rise to pan-Islamic resistance and Sunni and Shii revivalism. It then focuses on the fall-out from the 1979 revolution in Iran and the US-led military intervention in Iraq. As Matthiesen shows, however, though Sunnism and Shiism have had a long and antagonistic history, most Muslims have led lives characterised by confessional ambiguity and peaceful co-existence. Tensions arise when sectarian identity becomes linked to politics. "

"Le 17 janvier 395, Théodose Ier (le Grand), seul empereur régnant, meurt subitement à Milan, à l'âge de cinquante ans à peine. Au mois de septembre précédent, à la bataille du Frigidus (la rivière Froide, en Slovénie actuelle), il a triomphé de l'usurpateur Eugène, artisan d'une « réaction païenne ». À cette date, longtemps tenue pour une charnière entre l'Antiquité et le Moyen Âge, le pouvoir impérial n'est pas pleinement assuré, d'autant que Théodose laisse deux fils, âgés seulement de dix-sept et dix ans : Arcadius et Honorius. Lors des funérailles célébrées quarante jours plus tard, Ambroise de Milan, qui s'était entretenu peu avant avec l'empereur, se montre pleinement conscient de la gravité de la situation politique. Il invite tout d'abord les deux fils, Arcadius et Honorius, à continuer l'oeuvre de leur père ; puis, faisant l'éloge des vertus chrétiennes, il prône la clémence et place, dans la bouche de Théodose, les paroles du Psaume 114, développant ensuite l'éloge de l'empereur défunt et concluant sur les retrouvailles célestes. Cette oraison funèbre présente la particularité de contenir aussi un long développement narratif : la découverte à Jérusalem par Hélène, mère de Constantin, de la Croix et des clous de la Passion, puis leur présence sur le diadème, rappelant aux deux fils leurs devoirs - des recommandations dignes d'un « miroir des princes », dont la postérité se souviendra."
