Les vingt-quatre etudes ici rassemblees en un recueil par les collegues, amis et eleves de Jacques Thirion veulent exprimer au Maitre la reconnaissance et l'admiration de leurs auteurs pour l'eclectisme de ses centres d'interet, le faire impeccable et raffine de ses travaux, la fecondite de son enseignement. Celles et ceux qui ont rassemble ces etudes sont conservateurs des bibliotheques, des musees, d'archives ou encore universitaires. Leur geste a tente d'evoquer l'extraordinaire diversite de la carriere de Jacques Thirion qui, avant de se consacrer a l'enseignement et a la recherche, a frequente tous les secteurs du patrimoine. Du premier art chretien au debut du XXe siecle en passant par le Moyen Age, la Renaissance, l'epoque classique et le XIXe siecle, c'est aussi l'histoire de toute la production artistique francaise qui est illustree ici: architecture, sculpture, objets d'art et arts graphiques."

Personal names are known in abundance from almost all cultures to be found in this area, and they therefore play a prominent role in the study of ethnicity and acculturation.
Sino-French Trade at Canton, 1698–1842 presents a rare and lively view of the French experience at Canton, and calls for a reappraisal of France’s role in that trade. France was one of the two most important Western powers in the eighteenth century, and was home to one of the three major European East India companies. Yet the nation is woefully underrepresented in Canton trade scholarship. Susan E. Schopp rescues the French from the sidelines, showing that they exerted a presence that, though closely watched by their rivals, is today largely unrecognized. Their contributions were diverse, ranging from finding new sea routes to inspiring the renovation of hong façades. Consequently, to i...
