Carving a Professional Identity: The occupational epigraphy of the Roman Latin West presents the results of long-term research into the occupational epigraphy from the Latin-language provinces of the Roman Empire. It catalogues stone epigraphs of independent professionals (thus excluding state workers, imperial slaves, freedmen and military personnel), comprising some 690 people, providing quantitative as well as qualitative analyses of the raw data. A glossary translating the occupational titles is also included. The book reveals a very lively work market, where specialisation responded to demand and brought social and economic status to the worker. The coherence of epigraphic habits and manifestations within a professional group, along with all the other existing clues for a rather unitary use of symbols, endorse once more the existence of a Roman provincial, commercial, middle class.

"While the world was still reeling from the staggering losses incurred in the First World War, a little-known Canadian sculptor was raising a colossal monument in France, where more than sixty-six thousand of his countrymen had fought and died. The Vimy Ridge Memorial still stands as a stark reminder of the Canadians who gave their lives in France - and as a testament to the vision and single-minded obsession of its now-forgotten architect, Walter Allward." "It is against the backdrop of this incredible achievement that Jane Urquhart sets her new novel. At the center of the story is Klara Becker, the granddaughter of a master woodcarver, who spends her childhood in a German-settled community in southwestern Ontario in the years leading up to the Great War. It is a childhood punctuated by tremendous losses: her mother dies of cancer when she is a teenager; her older brother, in love with wandering, eventually leaves the family; and her brief but passionate love affair with Eamon O'Sullivan is cut short when he volunteers for action and never returns. But Klara's inherited gift for carving eventually reunites her with her brother and gives her purpose as she works on the memorial that will make her whole again"--Jacket

la 4e de couv. indique : "Les marbriers qui travaillaient pour le roi de France n'ont sans doute jamais atteint la renommée et la célébrité des peintres, sculpteurs, architectes ou même des ébénistes du Grand Siècle. Ils furent pourtant des artisans indispensables à certaines des plus grandes réalisations des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. C'est à partir des sources anciennes, de documents conservés aux Archives nationales et de l'étude des oeuvres que cette " histoire du marbre " est présentée. Explorant tant la matière et les enjeux de son approvisionnement que les hommes qui la façonnaient, ou encore les oeuvres produites qui composaient de véritables tableaux polychromes, Versailles en ses marbres apporte un regard inédit sur les décors qui firent la gloire et la beauté des demeures de Louis XIV."
