Bod XXIII
Garland's magnificent facsimile series of the manuscripts of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley in the Bodleian Library, Oxford ( The Bodleian Shelley Manuscripts , 22 volumes, 1986-1997) is now made complete by the publication of its Index-volume. Volume XXIII provides the key to the contents of the Shelleyan notebooks and papers in all their complexity: poems, prose, translations, fragments, calculations, drawing and doodles, addresses and other miscellaneous jottings. The accumulated findings provide a treasure-trove of information about the Shelley's lives: their writings and readings, and echoes of classical and later authors; the people they met, corresponded with, rented houses from, or saw perform; the towns they visited, the very houses in which they lived, the lakes and rivers they sailed and the mountains they climbed. The intellectual and physical data of these manuscripts will help open new vistas for students of their lives, thought and creative writing.

As scholars have begun to assert more forcefully over the past two decades, slavery...

Athanase d'Alexandrie, évêque et écrivain
Athanase, évêque d'Alexandrie du 328 à 373, reste une des figures les plus remarquables de l'histoire du christianisme. Au siècle des mutations constantiniennes, où l'Église prit une conscience nouvelle de son identité mystique et de son rôle dans la société, saint Athanase pesa de tout le poids original de sa personnalité sur des institutions qui allaient traverser les siècles. Les traits caractéristiques du ministère de l'évêque se retrouvent dans l'œuvre de l'écrivain Athanase. Les Traités contre les Ariens révèlent au mieux le double registre de l'initiative athanasienne, doctrinale et polémique d'un côté, pastorale et contemplative de l'autre. Une étude du plan ...
