Au sixieme siecle apparait, dans l'Eglise grecque de Palestine, une nouvelle forme d'interpretation de l'Ecriture: les chaines exegetiques grecques, qui consistent a "enchainer" dans l'ordre meme des versets des livres bibliques, des extraits tires des oeuvres des Peres grecs, - souvent disparues. Cette forme litteraire a connu une fecondite remarquable, jusqu'a la fin de l'Empire byzantin, puisqu'elle est attestee aujourd'hui par plusieurs centaines de manuscrits grecs. La presente etude est consacree aux chaines sur les psaumes, qui sont les plus complexes, les plus nombreuses et les plus riches en fragments inedits. Elle retrace l'histoire de l'apparition et du developpement de ces collections. Elle constitue un instrument de travail indispensable pour les futurs editeurs des grands textes exegetiques des Peres.
In The Knight-Monks of Vichy France John Hellman describes the founding, operation, transformation, and demise of the school, details the institution's ideological and political struggles with other segments of French society, and deals with the remarkable rise of Uriage ideas and alumni in postwar France. By focusing on the social, philosophical, and psychological concepts propounded by the staff of the school, Hellman has produced the first study that shows the École Nationale des Cadres d'Uriage to have been an original educational and group experience which inspired French youth from very different backgrounds to abandon the liberal democratic tradition for a new political and social vi...
The book is about a global mission against world cataract blindness. It highlights the resistance of some world organizations to changes, particularly the shift from ICCE to ECCE with PCI, and how they have relented over the years. It also highlights the success of cataract/implant training centres in China, especially in Tianjin. The book will be of interest to anyone involved in providing eye care, and may be of special interest to those dealing with blinding diseases including cataract.
This volume proceeds from a workshop at the XVIII International Conference on Patristic Studies (Oxford, 2019) and presents developments in recent and ongoing research on the complex tradition of Psalter catenae. The twelve contributions cover a wide range of topics, presenting methodological developments and challenges of catena research as well as fresh insights on specific subjects, such as new manuscript finds and the publication of illustrations and captions in catena manuscripts. The studies range from the first Palestinian stages of Psalter catenae to later Byzantine compositions, and beyond: the Oriental versions receive particular attention. The volume offers students and scholars who are less familiar with research on Psalter catenae a taste of its diversity. Those who have already dealt intensively with this tradition and related topics will find useful research tools and interesting new results. Most of the volume is written in English; two contributions are in French and two in German. The printed volume is accompanied by two databases that are made available online, which allow for more complex search queries.

The Catena to James (compiled ca. 700 CE) collected excerpts from the best ancient Greek commentaries on the Letter of James, ranging from Origen to Maximus the Confessor. This translation and commentary make the whole Catena available for the first time in a modern language. An extensive introduction locates the Catena both in its own historical and literary context and in the context of modern catena studies. The detailed commentary elucidates the wide-ranging and sophisticated nature of the philological, historical-critical, rhetorical, ethical, theological, and pastoral insights of these ancient readers of James.
La création de cette nouvelle chaîne constitue un projet inédit, qui nécessite la synergie de quatre opérateurs de l’audiovisuel public, à savoir France Télévisions, Radio France, l’Institut national de l’audiovisuel et France Médias Monde. Cette chaîne doit, d’une part, relever le défi d’imprimer l’identité du service public dans l’offre d’information continue, en se distinguant de la concurrence existante sur la TNT. D’autre part, elle doit présenter un modèle économique efficient, fondé sur la mutualisation des moyens et des équipes. La situation financière de France Télévisions, et de l’audiovisuel public en général, étant encore fragile, ce rapport a entre autre pour objet d’évaluer la soutenabilité à court et long terme de ce projet ambitieux.
